1. expired CNA certificate in NY

   1lollipop posted a topic in New York

   My CNA nursing certificate is going to expire at the end of this month. I know I have to retake the written exam if I don't find a job, but will I also have to re-take the skills part as well (performing a skill on a volunteer in front of a proctor)...

2. failed ns...now what?? need advice

   1lollipop posted a topic in New York

   I failed nursing school (got 2 C-'s in OB and pharm) from a BSN program. I hate the idea of having to give up. If I could start over, I would take fewer classes at a time...Is there any other school(s) in NYC or LI or anywhere that would consider m...

3. Salary for school nurses in NYC?

   1lollipop posted a topic in School

   What is the salary for a full-time public school nurse by the NYC Board of Ed and/or a school nurse working in a college in NYC? I hear the colleges pay their school nurses more, but I'm curious. I couldn't find the salary info anywhere, not even o...

4. Questions about Adelphi

   1lollipop replied to NurseDreamerNYC's topic in New York

   I'm an Adelphi nursing student now. To answer your questions since I came in as a transfer myself, if you don't have a prior associates degree in nursing, they will not accept more than 2 nursing classes taken elsewhere. Not sure about pharmacology...

6. Anyone attending Adelphi University???

   1lollipop replied to BunnyRN's topic in New York

   There are no pre-req's required in order to get accepted into Adelphi's nursing program. If you choose to take them early, you can't go wrong by taking Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2, microbiology, nutrition, and general chemistry 1 & 2. Ju...

7. without an RN licence what else can i do in nursing field until i get my licence?

   1lollipop replied to GN-nurse09's topic in New York

   If you can afford to just concentrate on passing your NCLEX, that would be best. Otherwise, I don't see why it'd be tougher to find a job as a nurse tech. You could always say that u plan to work f/t as a nurse at the place once you get licensed. ...

8. Any advice on becoming a nurse?

   1lollipop replied to mumsy's topic in New York

   I'm not a parent, but I am a f/t nursing student. I had a previous BA in English when I applied to nursing school and had to quit my job as a substitute teacher b/c I was so overwhelmed by all the reading (esp. chemistry) after I was accepted into n...

9. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

   1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

   Thanks to all for your replies! I'm in an RN program, but I often wish I applied to a LPN program instead! It's going to take me 3 yrs to complete my BSN (even though I have a BA already in English!) It's ridiculous how long it takes to complete t...

10. Anyone attending Adelphi? LI or Manhttan

    1lollipop replied to IWillBANurse's topic in New York

    I'm attending Adelphi & taking CHE 109. It's a very tough class, tougher than general chemistry. Unless you're strong in math and/or chemistry, it won't be easy at all. I study more for that than my other classes, incl. nursing classes (which ...

11. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York

    I'm curious about this because my friend told me (her mother is a nurse). She said that NY will soon require LPN's to get their RN licenses, and do away with LPN programs altogether. Could this be true? I was going to do the LPN program, but I did...

12. Has any nursing student successfully switched nursing programs?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

    Thanks for your reply. What school would that be?

13. Has any nursing student successfully switched nursing programs?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York

    Is there any school (preferably in NY) that accepts prior nursing credits (some or all of them) even if the candidate does not hold any type of nursing license already? I know LPNs have no trouble transferring nursing credits, but many schools for so...

14. Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    1lollipop replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York

    I don't know anything about St. Vincent's, but what I do know is that it's very hard (if not impossible) to transfer nursing credits later on unless they are non-nursing pre-req's such as chemistry, statistics, etc. It's not just that school, it's a...

15. NEW and Need advice! QCC/BMCC/Adelphi/Pace

    1lollipop replied to VEVargas81's topic in New York

    I'm at Adelphi now (class of 2012), and I was in a similar situation as you. There are so many added fees and other loops I have to jump through at this school. There are several pre-reqs also before reaching clinicals. The school has a decent rep...
