Hey Sue,

I just started my 4th semester of nursing, Med Surg 3 and so far I am loving every minute of it. Good luck to you all. If you need any help when you get accepted, let me know!

Wishing everyone applying all the best!

How hard is it to get into St. Vincents and what do they require for their pre req's or can you take everything you need there?

Esther2007 · Mar 11, 2008

It was not hard for me to get accepted. I transfered about 15 credits, English, math, language, history and ethics. While enrolling at St vincent's, I took Sociology Clep and the religion Dantes, which I passed. If you are planning to apply, make sure you take the same classes that I transfered in as well as chemistry and biology at a local community college. You can save tons of money!!!

Do not take the other science courses, like A&P 1&2 and Microbiology anywhere else. St Vincents requires that you take an exam if they are over 5 years. The exam is so challenging, I wonder if the instructors would pass if they had to take it.

I am now taking nursing 231, 4th semester evening. Two more semesters to go.

If I can assist you with anything, please do not hesitate to send me a pm.

Good luck!

I think I am going to take some general ed classes at Gateway and see if I can transfer them to St. Vincent's. This seems to be the advise I have been seeing on all the boards, to attend a cc then apply to the nursing program of choice. Thanks for all the great advice. This a great message board and a great way to get information. What types of general ed classes did you take. What type of Math, English, etc. :nuke:

Esther2007 · Mar 12, 2008

I took intermediate algebra and English Composition.

I am happy to say I was admitted into St. Vincent's Extended Program for Fall 08'. This was my only choice for a Nursing program and am so happy to finally hear!! The greatest benefit of St. Vincent's program is that you can take 1 Nursing course at a time and not rush. I believe that is so important because there is a great deal of material to cover and I'd rather learn things more thoroughly than quickly. Wishing everyone luck in their acceptances.
