When does the semester actually start? And the pre-immersion? I haven't received a calendar and I'm finding the one in moodle a little hard to read. To me a "summer" start would have been August, so this seems really soon!

The pre-immersion starts April 1st and ends April 18th.

The orientation is April 30th and May 1st ( although idk why there are two orientation days, hopefully they will tell us more info later).

And the official start of our semester is May 6th.

The calendar is tricky to read because it mixes dates for the previous ABSN cohort with ours. I just wonder if more will be subject to change since this is the second calendar edit that was done.

Thank you! What does the pre-immersion entail? Has anyone gotten any info with that breakdown? I'm trying to figure out a plan for my current job, and wondering how many hours we need to be there for each part. (Seems like the most likely scenario is that I'm going to have to quit.) I haven't received the acceptance package yet, I'm assuming that this is all included in it?

Your welcome. I am not completely sure how the pre-immersion will be planned out exactly. I can only go what is based on the acceptance letter

"The program will be offered in hybrid format (in school and online) and will cover an introduction to the accelerated nursing education process, test taking skills, and strategies for academic success, time management, nursing terminology and a review of math skills. This 'Boot Camp' program will be offered on a Pass/Fall basis and will have assignments and quizzes (schedule to follow). It is mandatory that you attend this program."

It's still like a great unknown as to how things will exactly be because the pre-immersion and the program itself is hybrid so it's hard to plan things out ahead now without knowing the complete schedule.

Did you send high school transcripts to NursingCAS or directly to Mount Sinai?

Is anyone planning to work part time while in school?

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Fall program and got accepted a few weeks ago. How long did you all receive your financial aid packages after? If anyone doesn't mind, can they share their scholarship/fafsa information? I'm trying to get an idea of the prices for the program once aid is invested.

Does anyone also know anyone in the program and their experiences? I understand the program is fairly new, but there are not that many reviews on the program, classes, intensity, teachers, clinicals, cost etc. I'm also a bit concerned since it is a hybrid program.

Was the fall application open before February 1? I just submitted my application for fall because I only saw summer 2019 open before that

It was opened since September. I applied in December and got in at the end of January. I started my application in October, so it should have been opened.

And you applied through NursingCAS? When I called in January they said they would open the app February 1 and that's when it appeared for me. I submitted it about a week ago, hoping I hear back soon but congratulations!
