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)...
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...
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...

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...
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...

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. ...
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...

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...

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 ...
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...
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...

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...

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...
