You can type into Google “Suffolk county community college application status” and it will have u log into your application. But it just says “submitted” ?

Thankyou! Hopefully we hear something next week. 

Hey all, just want to say Good Luck and God bless to everyone applying.

I just got my LPN license Aug of this year. I Was wondering if anyone can give me any insight. I graduated with my Bachelors in Biology in 2013. I took a and p 1/2 in 2015. I have statistics, psych, most nursing courses. How many classes will they accept? And roughly how long is this lpn to RN program? I am really looking to get my RN because being a lpn the rates are getting lower and lower and I just started LOL. 

I appreciate all info and tips. Thank You all and I hope you all get accepted and pave the way for me ?

So your A&P will be good for now, but if you do plan on applying, make sure you do before 2015 as they give the class 10 years before they "expire." As long as you got a C, they will accept the classes, though. Psych and stats are good. As far as the nursing courses you took, I'm guessing these are the classes you took for LPN. These ones won't transer.

English comp, English lit, Microbio, American history, western civ, and biomedical ethics are all required for the completion of the program, but are not necessarily needed to apply for the program. I just figure it's easier to take as many classes as you can before the program starts.

There's a really heavy emphasis on the TEAS test, though. So strive to get Exemplary...maybe settle with Advanced scoring (what I did). Some people can get proficient scoring and get accepted, but it will give you a better chance with the most points in the admission rubric as possible.

OMG thank you soooo much for this detailed explanation!

So with my bio degree that I attained in 2013 I have all of those classes but I wonder if they will accept those. I am going to apply for the next semester available. I know im too late now but I just got my lpn license so lets see. 

God bless you and I really appreciate the help. Im going to apply here and excelsior.

No problem! I forgot to mention from my understanding the LPN-RN is a year and a half, since it starts in January. The RN program started in September where they learn fundamentals. 

My cousin is actually in Excelsior. They accepted most of her classes except for  A&P and Micro. From what she's telling me it's so rigorous. Besides making posts and commenting on others' posts, papers, and online tests, there are often times where you need to record yourself presenting a topic. The lab is a simulated online lab.

If this works for you, then by all means go for it. I just know I would not be able to keep up with all of that.

Hi! I’m starting excelsior for Fall II (Oct 24) but was hoping I would get into Suffolk.. sill have no idea if I was accepted/denied. However, where I work many of my co workers are doing excelsior and love it. They say it’s just like any nursing program with difficulty but like how they have the option to go FT/PT and do what works for them. If I don’t get into Suffolk I will be starting excelsior and can update you with how it is!

I wonder why they didn't accept her a and p and micro. Those are like the hardest classes. But from what I've heard at excelsior if you work as a lpn that counts as your clinicals except month 9 and 11 where you have to go away for a weekend for clinicals. 

Honestly, excelsior may be my best bet since its online and I can prob get most of my credits transferred. I will definitely be looking into other schools as well in nyc like berkely, lga, helene fund st pauls in nj, chamberlin and nassau.

Just looking for the fastest program to get my RN because I just got my first paycheck as a lpn and I can already tell this is not going to work LOL

oh Wow thats dope. How as the application process for you? Are you in nyc as well? How come you would rather suffolk than excelsior? pros/cons. Sorry I am just trying to understand because im new to the ball game.

Thanks and God bless and good luck ?

Anyone else get excited when they receive an email from Suffolk then slowly die inside when reading that it's about an event on campus and not an acceptance or rejection to the program??
