1. Lost varicella immunity?

   Agenyc replied to SkiMama's topic in General Nursing

   I was just looking for info on losing immunity and found this thread!! I recently did a pre-pregnancy work-up and tested negative for varciella, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but I am working on getting pregnant with my second baby. I find ...

2. My Next Life Starts tomorrow.....

   Agenyc replied to SusanKathleen, RN's topic in General Students

   Thank you for this thread! This is exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of right now... I go back to the summer semester of my 15-month program next week and needed a reminder of how grateful i am to be there for so many reasons. It is, how...

3. NCLEX book not on book list

   Agenyc replied to kat von b's topic in General Students

   I think you'll get the same response from everyone, which is: Buy one anyway!! I guess maybe they didn't put it on your list because it is not "officially" a book you need for nursing school, but it will be very helpful to you to learn and also how t...

4. Best Math to Retake

   Agenyc replied to howsoon's topic in Student Assist

   I was scared to death of the math!! but it really wasn't that bad once I got over the anxiety of it. I don't think you need to repeat a whole college math course to manage it. You obviously have done well in math in the past, so I wouldn't worry too...

5. Swedish nurses on strike!

   Agenyc replied to vss04's topic in General Nursing

   I am Swedish too, but have lived in the US for a while now. Good luck to you all! It is very ironic that fixing machines is more valued that healing people... Sweden is such a great country in SO many ways, but not when it comes to appreciating the ...

6. Forgot how to be "normal"

   Agenyc replied to Wondergirl0905's topic in Student Assist

   I could have written that! I am also on a two-week break between spring and summer semesters. half way through a 15-month program. Today was my first full day off after the semester from hell, and all I have done is sleep and sit on the couch feeling...

7. 1 year in and I want out

   Agenyc replied to BloomGirl's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, Sounds like you're not very happy right now. I feel for you.. I don't know how old you are, but gathering from the details in your post you are relatively young. It took me until I was like 32 to realize what I wanted to do with my life and I am...

8. What is the BEST Medical/Surgical Textbook?

   Agenyc replied to 4rom2bRN's topic in Student Assist

   Oh, geez I just bought this brick of a book yesterday for this coming semester for $100+........this does not sound encouraging..( I don't think I have seen a bigger, heavier textbook in my life) thanks for the warning

9. Combined BSN/MSN programs or Master's entry programs in nursing??

   Agenyc replied to Cheezy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi, As I understand it, the programs are designed so that you will get the BSN along the way before you begin the true masters courses. I have a friend who attended the Columbia direct entry program and she even took some time to work/get experience ...

10. Last final - holy crap!

    Agenyc replied to Nursey Face's topic in General Nursing

    That is so exciting!! I will be in your shoes exactly 1 year from now!! You just took your last final and I am taking my first final tomorrow morning ( first nursing school final that is...). So technically I should NOT be browsing allnurses right no...

    Agenyc replied to lilkaymin's topic in New York

    Hi, I am attending NYU right now, just finishing up my very first semester and don't really have time to "waste" , projects and finals are looming, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in: To be hosest, my first degree's GPA wasn't all thet great, a...

12. New Grads in New york.....

    Agenyc replied to doggybour's topic in New York

    Hi One little thing to think about if you want to work at NYU is--try to live somewhere near the 6 train ( the green line local), or the 4 or 5 (express) has an easy transfer across the platforms. so you don't have waste too much time waiting to tran...

13. LA or NYC

    Agenyc replied to dmaster's topic in New York

    I am far from an authority on the topic, (still in NS), but from what I hear 60,000 sounds low. From what I understand, new grads here get about 68-72,000 starting salary.... I could be wrong.

14. What to brush up on before nursing school?

    Agenyc replied to Liz520's topic in General Students

    I would highly recommend learning some medical terminology and abbreviation. I just started in September and that really help me not to panic when the prof's throw out CVA, DVT, AVD, etc !! You can get a Medical terminology book at Barnes & Noble...

15. question about 3 NY nursing schools

    Agenyc replied to peterperrett's topic in New York

    Don't know about their NCLEX rates, but the last time I heard NYC Tech is not an accredited Nursing program, I could totally be wrong about that, but I just thought I'd mention it so you can check it out. It may have changed since then. They are all ...
