Hi Everyone,
I've recently decided to apply to nursing school. I was interested in the St. Paul's school of nursing Queens campus. Does anyone have any experience with this school? I took the wonderlic and got a 29. I've been out of school for some time but have really good grades from undergrad. Does anyone know if I have a decent chance of getting accepted and what they look for? I also don't have any clinical experience.

Are you taking the HESI test soon ? You have to try to score your best. Passing grade is 80. But if you get a higher grade it would look better.

I’ve taken both exams and applied Im still waiting to hear back if I got accepted or not, if you tryna to get into January 2020 you should try to get everything done asap
Oh wow, when did you take the Hesi? Did you get a good score? I'm nervous now, I thought I would be good if I did well on the exam.
Yeah I took the SLE 1st got a 26 n took hesi after like 2 weeks the 1st time I went the computers where down so I got a extra 2 weeks to prepare I’m guessing it was a sign lol.... I got a 90 on the math and a 84 on the overall English & I took the hesi in August. Yeah this whole process is nerve recking bcos you just don’t know I’ve heard people with good grades n a good exam score that didn’t get in so you just have to hope for the best. I submitted everything i possibly can to boost up my chances... my aunt is a RN now and she went there 6 years ago she said once you get a good score your suppose to automatically get in but I’m guessing things change?
Okay, I'm officially freaking out now. I guess it's way more competitive than I thought. You have great scores! I wonder what they're looking for ?

Noooo just keep praying and stay positive everybody situation is different... reading everyone’s post on here everybody got a different story... I wish I knew bcos i would give them exactly what they want. Thanks I wish I could of done better, what did you get? Do you have any pre reqs? I have zero my major in college was criminal Justice at 1st??♀️
yeah, my prereq GPA from cuny is above 3.9 but I don't have any nursing experience. So I'm a bit nervous.
Did you have to know conversions on the math section for the HESI? Like quartz to liters etc.? I didn't get the book they recommend from amazon.
Literally the whole test was proportion and dividing multiplying fractions there was some adding n subtracting to.. you had like 10 conversions questions with the pounds, ounces, liters ect & they have a few word problems to n it’s mostly multiple choice but a few you had type the answer in. I got the book they recommended and I order 2 books from amazon & got a practice package from nursehub, when do you take the test?
In a few days. I hope this goes well. I had no idea people do well on these exams and still have problems getting accepted! I hope you get accepted for the January cohort as well!
