I'm currently taking nursing pre-requisites at Queensborough Community College in NY, and am looking into the Mount Sinai Beth Phillips School of Nursing's Accelerated BSN program. (I have a BS in Graphic Design.)
My question is: Has anyone here on allnurses graduated from this program? I know it's very new, and I would like to hear what everyone has to say about their experience there. Tell me about how intense it was, how the 15 months is broken up, and whatever else you think I should know.
I am attracted to finishing my BSN in 15 months as opposed to taking two years at Queensborough for an ADN, but I'm also worried about the pricetag. Not as steep as NYU's Accelerated program, but still pretty up there compared to public college. Your input will help me decide if it's worth it.
Plan B might be finishing at Queensborough with an ADN, by some miracle landing a nursing job with only an Associate's, working for a couple of years, and then applying to one of Stony Brook's MSN programs (which you can apply to with just an ADN as long as you have a BS/BA in some other field, but might be tougher to get into because you need to hand in a Clinical Portfolio with your application).
***Some background on what I've been able to handle in the past: I have all A's and one B for my pre-requisites thus far, and a 3.6 gpa. At one point in my graphic design career, I took 21 credits in one semester, and did fine in all except one. I feel that because of this experience, I can probably handle a heavy load- but more like 18 credits, and not 21. All the while having one, and later two small children at home. Still nervous about what I can or can't handle in nursing school. Please advise. Thanks so much!!
I was recently accepted into the Fall 2018 ABSN. Does anyone have any information about the program's tuition, or any other information you may have learned from attending an informational session?

All the info is available on their website. I did look into this school a few months ago, but chose not to due to a price tag of about $50,000 (if I recall correctly).
Hi all! Glad to find this thread! I also applied to the PSON ABSN Fall 2018. I submitted my application on March 31st. I called last week and Maria said my application is still under review. Judging from all your posts here I am getting very very worried because I noticed most of you got a response within a month. Should I email Maria to ask when I should expect a response? I asked her when i spoke to her over the phone and she said she wasn't sure, but that the admission committee was meeting the following day (Thursday May 10th) to continue with the revisions.

Hi guys! I was accepted into the ABSN program for this Fall, can someone who's currently in the program shed some light on how the schedule/classes are like? How do you like the program so far? Thanks!

I’ve been accepted into the ABSN program for the fall 2019 cohort. I would like to ask more questions regarding the pson program. If anyone is free that I can reach out to, please leave your email here (or simply inbox me here). Thank you so much.
