Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 83% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. 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.
