Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing

Please regulate the library temperature , it is so hot I can’t even focus in there. This heron going on since last year.

Very tough nursing school to get into and even tougher to complete. It is the flagship program of CUNY and is equivalent to UPenn, NYU and the best of them. When you graduate, you are a nurse!

Can't speak for the college as I'm not a student there, just a summer resident while interning in the city. Couldn't believe how cheap it was to stay here in a decent location in Manhattan. Now I know. The dorm facilities are awful. First of all, all the water fountains were broken for the first six weeks of my ten week stay (during the summer, when it's 90+ degrees and there's no A/C), and the WiFi, that you pay $40 extra for, is useless in most places in the building. Today I found a large, living cockroach in the shower with me because the bathroom facilities haven't been cleaned in so long that there is actual mold accumulating across the floors and shower curtains. Add that to the rat traps which have been surreptitiously placed all over the third floor and you have a suggestion of th

So much for “more nurses needed” in todays society. The painstaking and mentally exhausting process of simply just wanting to get into the program was enough to deter me from the entire program in general. 100 seats available made to a pool of applicants with the same entry-exam score and GPA (I heard just over 700 applicants). This isn’t premed or CRNA school. This isn’t even a physician assistant program. To enforce exhaustive and cumbersome requirements for a NURSING program in the name of prestige, including having students take a organic chemistry course to weed them out in their second semester, is awful and unnecessary. The nursing advisors are virtually obsolete and are hard to reach, although I was able to get into contact with one who was sweet and actually cared (props to you!)

This nursing school is absolutely ridiculous. Forget the school and poor quality of the building itself, the requirements to just get accepted is absolutely ridiculous.
