Which has a better bsn program Adelphi or Pace University PLease Help

are you already an RN? i currently attend adelphi for my BSN i like it so far i dont start clinicals till janurary though........

I am currently attending Adelphi and I really like it. I am at the Manhattan center and the director is just wonderful. I am not sure how we rate against Pace, but I am a proud Adelphian.

Thank you I am not a RN as of yet but i plan to start Adelphi Jan 2009 im taking my prerequistes right now. i just wanted to make sure im choosing a good school. i plan to go to the Manhattan campus also are the instructors very helpful?

I attend the Garden City campus so i couldnt be much of a help with the manhattan campus however the professors are great at garden city

I cannot say much for the professors since I just started. I 've had lots of interactions with the director. She is very nice and helpful. I currently have the same professor for 2 nursing courses. That is the down side of the Manhattan Center. It is small and one does not have much option when choosing classes/professors, unless one chooses to take classes at Garden City at the same time where each course has several sections. There is only 1 section for each nursing course in Manhattan, so choices are limited. We have more options for clinicals. On the other hand, it's very cozy and we all get to know each other and we have easy access to the people in charge.

Thank you very much Adelphi sounds like a good choice. I cannot wait to start in 2009 how was the NEt exam ?

I graduated from Adelphi and I really liked it

Adelphi's reputation is not really that great. It's like one of those "career" colleges that have commercials that show in the daytime along with talk shows and stuff. I would go with Pace, its a real school.

Take2theskye,

Did you attend Adelphi? If so, I would like to hear about your experience there.

Thank you for the info both colleges have good reputations maybe you know more than me about adelphi

I currently attend Adelphi and am a bit insulted that someone called it a "career" college. I am graduating in May with a Bachelor's of Science in nursing. You cannot get a BS at a "career" college. Also, the program at Adelphi has become quite rigorous. Alot of changes have been made since I first started there, and no one is just skating through the program. I am also doing clinicals at some the top hospitals in Manhattan; therefore, top hospitals in the country, and if Adelphi had not prepared me, I would not be able to perform at the level I am during clinicals. Adelphi is not a "career" college, it is a private university. There is a difference. I feel very well prepared to start my career as a nurse this summer with the education I have received at Adelphi.

BTW, many of our professors are doctorate level RN's. I don't think they would be teaching at a school that wasn't worthy of their time.

JMHO

BSNin2008

I am so happy you replied. I am waiting on my acceptance letter from Adelphi and was suprised to hear the negative remark. My husband and I are transferring to NY this summer and know nothing about the area. I have researched several schools and Adelphi was my top choice because it has the reputation of a top nursing school and gives a variety of class scheduling times which help when you have kids. I have done so much research and that comment really floored me. Glad to hear from a student that knows!!
