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.

I’m at the queens location. I honestly think any nursing school is brutally hard. It’s definitely not easy. But WE GOT THIS !

Thank you for the honesty! I now have a lot more anxiety about this than I should. It was definitely my last resort school but my time is now and I’m going to make the most of it.
I was accepted for the Staten Island campus ( evening program ). Is anyone in this program wanting to do a group chat? If so message me!
