I'm curious if anybody got their acceptance letter yet?
I just recently took my entrance test - it was easy. They changed the test style. After the first test comes the HESI which I know would be more challenging. The name of the entrance test is not DET anymore. It stinks considering on the application packet it says that the test would be DET and even recommended to buy the book guide - I bought it unfortunately. Anyway, anybody applied to other nursing school aside from st.paul's?
Arg anyone waiting for their acceptance letter? What's your GPA? Are you in the morning or evening program?
hey guys! I'll be doing only nursing courses because I have finsihed all the prerequis and without interest, it is costing me 18,635. with interest for 2 years, it will be about 22000 dollars. see everyone for orientation. If anyone needs help, please ask. my name is jaime and I'm one of the guys in the class so it shouldn't be too hard to find me. I'll be in the day program in Queens. good luck to all.
Thank God I passed the 12min test. Also, thanks to everyone for the advise.
Now I have to prepare for the HESI exam and write the application essay. I was told to make sure the essay is VERY strong. What does that mean? I would greatly appreciate any adivse for the HESI and the essay.
Good luck to everyone who is starting classes this month!
I wonder what the Male to Female ratio will be for the school....I know Nursing programs are usually dominated by females. Anyway to answer you're question about the essay I think what they mean is that since the school no longer does a formal interview with the prospective student they base it all on your test scores and you're essay
I sort of don't agree with that but that just means you need to have a very well written essay that best describes you and you're future plans in the Nursing field.
See you all at orientation! The BCLS instructors were full of information about BLS and the school. They're the class of 2010 and all of them passed the NCLEX the first time, so hopefully that will be us!
Hey Osuro did you stay after to talk to him about the school? I would have stayed but I didn't expect the class to run all the way till 1 and I had someone waiting for me. A few of the people in the class were actually 2nd year students . No one bad anything bad to say about the school so that's a relief.
Thanks, Sundrop will read right now. Bluefly, I didn't speak to him (T**) after class, but I was in his group and he had nothing negative to say other than it's expensive, but they passed and employed as RNs.
No idea, unfortunately I was stuck in one of the groups were the I dont think the person was actually a graduate/former student of the school. It was still good to hear people with experience from the school though, makes me less nervous investing so much time and money in a place you really don't know much about.
What we should have asked was were the clinical's take place...
