St. Paul's School of Nursing Fall 2016

Published

Is anyone here applying to St. Paul's or have any word on it? I've already taken their entrance exam and did well and I took the HESI a2 and also did well (managed a 95 cumulative). I'm wary because they lack NLN accreditation and I know that I definitively want to get a bacehlors degree before moving on to a higher degree. However, I hear that's hard to do if you go to a school that isn't accredited.

Also, the price tag is *very* hefty (48,000 for the whole program). I know that it won't be as expensive for me since I've taken all eng, psych, and soc classes, but it'll still be a considerable amount of debt to place myself in for just an associates degree.

I graduated from SPSON in Jan 2016. You will find that the school is far from perfect, and at times they may not have it together.. but I can say that regardless of that, STUDY HARD. MAKE FRIENDS. HELP YOUR PEERS SO THEY HELP YOU. WORK AS A TEAM! and you will make it out alive. You will not survive alone, you need each other. Me and my friends passed NCLEX first try with the minimum 75 questions. That was the case for MANY of us. There are many BSN schools out there that accept SPSON credits and are accredited by NLN and CCNE so you will be fine. I work for a Cancer Center as an infusion/chemotherapy RN and haven't even finished my BSN program, so there are jobs out there for us ! just be patient and remember to assemble yourself a team of positive and helpful classmates!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Hi, I am interested in applying to St. Pauls and was wondering if any newly admitted students have anything they'd like to share regarding their experience of the program so far? Thanks in advance!

yes i am curious about transfer credits, i took most pre nursing at nassau, but some courses like Eng 101 102 are over 20 yrs old, do you think they will make me take them again?
