St. Paul's School of Nursing Fall 2020

Published

Looking to enroll in the nursing program at St. Paul's School of Nursing. Any other applicants going through the process for this coming Fall 2020?

I don't really know what to think about the school at this point but I will share my experience... This is for Staten Island. I Applied around last week of May and after that the advisor kept in contact with me for about a week until I turned in all my paperwork.. transcripts , certificates and all that stuff... then after that it was radio silence! I waited a month and then after that I called them non stop for about 3 weeks and finally heard something and I was accepted. I don't think this is how a school should act. I also just found out that this coming year is going to be all remote except for the clinical which take part in your second semester and they will be at a nursing home. So class work remotely and on days you have a clinical then you go to the site you get assigned to... This was all because I keep calling to find things out because they never bother to reach out and school starts Sept 9 I believe so I feel like its closer than we think.

I've sent email and they said I'm missing documents. IDK. This whole thing is very difficult process.

resend everything again in on PDF and send it 3 times if you have too! they are unorganized so just cover your bases even if you know you are right. Be patient!

And what’s even crazier is that the tuition rate is the same. Even though it’s remote

they expect us to succeed with less resources

Yeah that part sucks! I know nursing students from NYU and they are gonna do their year remotely too and the tuition is still the same.

CONGRATS to those who are accepted and plan on attending. I just graduated from SPSON-Staten Island. For those going to Queens campus all I can say is Queen's campus is very strict compared to Staten Island however, both will play with your entire lives.

1. Have discipline and study!

2. Be sociable and friendly with some instructors in case you have a problem.

3. Make sure you get a 90% or higher on at least the first exam in all Nursing and Science based classes to provide some cushioning in case you fail and exam.

4. They will try to screw you over every semester some shape or form. Whether it is intentionally or not. It is important for your entire class to stick together during this. There is strength in numbers.

5. Do all the homework! Students who are stupid manage to get 78% and then fail because they did not complete the homework.

6. If you have below at 78% average in a class that is hard after the 2nd or 3rd exam just drop the class before you get a D or F.

7. Know your school handbook. You can Google it right now, it's online from 2019.

8. It is online for this semester so you're teaching yourself although it was like that prior to covid-19.

9. You will cry, want to drink your sorrows away. It is a brutal program but you will be happy once you finish.

10. This is a last resort school. If you can go somewhere else (especially cheaper) do so. Although those other schools will be harder to pass.

I wish you well.
