Applying and licensure
Admission is moderately selective, with about 60% of applicants admitted overall, so a solid academic record helps. Nursing programs usually add their own steps, such as prerequisite science courses, an entrance exam, a minimum GPA, and a limited number of seats, so contact the nursing department about current requirements. Our guide on how to get into nursing school walks through the typical process. Licensure runs through the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions, and graduates sit for the NCLEX. Confirm that the specific program holds ACEN or CCNE accreditation and is approved by the state before you enroll. Compare other schools on our nursing schools in New York page.
