Anyone knows anything about the Nursing program at this school? How many gets into Nursing and how the course is graded? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

I applied and was accepted to start this month, but can find no information on the program...it was a good fit for me as they accepted all of my EC credits + some lower-level general ed courses...I plan on attending part-time (2-3 classes a semester) while I attend to family, career, etc...I will post feedback re: the classes after a few weeks.

The nursing program at Suny Canton has moved to accepting 90 applicants. Some are accepted spring semester while a few slots are left open for people to be accepted after spring semester. These people are typically notified during the summer. It is a very competitive program. You must have Biology, Math, and Chemistry already.

Nursing classes are graded on a nursing scale where 75 is passing with a C. Sciences are graded where 70 is a C and is needed to pass. There are three of these, two Anatomy and Physiology classes and a Microbiology class. In all other co-requisites, a D is allowed (60).

The only way to attend part-time is to do all other co-requisites before being accepted. All the nursing classes themselves always start in the fall and cannot be moved or taken at different times or semesters. You can take Pharm classes online during breaks and take Nursing Trends the winter before, but those are the only flexible classes. I would highly recommend that you take A+P 1 before starting nursing. A+P 2 and nursing go hand-in-hand, so they are really helpful to take at once if you cannot get your A+P out of the way before starting.

I was actually planning on talking to our school about starting a nursing advice fb page or forum so that current nursing students could advise pre-nursing students about the process, teachers, grades, what to expect, etc. Feel free to ask more questions or message me. I am pretty comfortable answering most things related to the nursing program.

I applied for the fall 2017 semester and am waiting for response. I have a D in anatomy and physiology 1 and am wondering if that can jeopardize my chances of getting in?
