1. RN to Rad Tech options

   Doofy posted a topic in Career Support

   I did a search, and saw a few threads on Rad Techs that went back to school to become an RN. Maybe I am using the wrong search words, but I was wondering if anyone went from RN to Rad Tech. I'm currently a Nursing student. I can't really see myse...

2. NYU or Stony Brook's Accelerated Program?

   Doofy replied to Brooklyn84's topic in New York

   Stern School of business is rather well known if you are going for a MBA. Any major outside of business and finance, there's no leg up when applying for a job. Go for SBU. Maybe you can look around to see what is their percentage of passing the N...

3. Private student loans

   Doofy replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York

   I quit my job to take a shot at this too. I've got 1 Federal Direct loan for cc tuition I've got a 2nd FDL to pay for my food And I've got a Home Equity loan to pay my mortgage. With a mortgage, my debt is piling up faster than if I had gone to a p...

   Our female classmates are required to tie their hair upwards. No ponytails.

5. Any internship available?????

   Doofy replied to doggybour's topic in New York

   externships usually require at least 1 semester medsurg clinical experience in school. If you are not in any nursing programs yet, your best bet is to do some volunteer work for your local hospital.

6. Does anyone know?

   Doofy replied to doggybour's topic in New York

   I don't think anyone was "lecturing" on grammar. The poster didn't get many responses. Two of the major reasons is because the question being asked is repetitive and can be answered using a simple search of the forum and reading through some of the...

   Doofy replied to kkaatt's topic in New York

   You're allowed to take the nclex on a tourist visa? I have classmates on a student visa that are afraid they can't register for the nclex after classes are done.

   Doofy replied to NewYorkRN2B's topic in New York

   When I went to Niagara Falls last summer, they checked my passport when entering the US. They didn't check anything when I was going to Canada.

9. CUNY 2007 Fall Nursing students...Help!!! ANY1

   Doofy replied to soon2bnycmhnp's topic in New York

   If you are applying to a community college for pre clinicals, I doubt it would be too late. QCC was still accepting new students upto 1 week before classes start. I think the only requirement for a CC is a GED. Once you get in, do well on your pre...

10. How much do NY nurses make?

    Doofy replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York

    Unfortunately, nyc real estate isn't going to be doubling again any time soon. :) An 800sq/ft apt in a decent area in Queens will cost you anywhere from 250K for a coop to 400+K for a nice condo. Even with a nice down, that should be over 3K of ho...

11. nursing school Pre-Reqs???

    Doofy replied to lullaby's topic in New York

    Due to the limited seats to Nursing programs at CUNYs, most schools that offer the major will not have easy prereqs. It's the easiest way of weeding out students. You should look into CUNY's that don't have nursing majors. I know Queens College has A...

12. Advice on Applying to Nursing Programs in NY

    Doofy replied to chikichiki17's topic in New York

    Schools have been accepting apps for Fall '07 since Oct/Nov. When you mention BA program, do you mean a BSN program? If so, I think its actually easier to get into a BSN program at a private school than any ADN program in NYC. Too much competition...

    Just attended orientation. So not everyone showed about. But there is a min of 10 in our class of 60.

14. ASN vs. BSN

    Doofy replied to Jennyfur1234's topic in New York

    I've heard of a few hospitals (mostly in the city) that require a BSN. But I heard that in different threads on this forum. Not first hand experience. If you have to work, than the ADN is probably your best bet. What's another year of loans. ...

15. Anyone starting pre-clinical @ QCC in January?

    Doofy replied to NurseChapel's topic in New York

    Sorry, I have no experience with this professor. Never really heard of any of my current classmates taking him either. The only required book is the Holes Textbook. The Study Guide and Cliff Notes is optional. There's also a picture Atlas that is...
