1. Timing on advancing to NP role

   Riles241 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi all, I'm currently working full time as a RN, but completed my masters (FNP) in summer 2016. Graduation coincided with the birth of my first child, so the idea of switching jobs at that point was not something I was thinking about. I generall...

2. NYC average RN Salary

   Riles241 replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York

   I agree. As someone who will be soon seeking a new grad job, I'm perfectly content with starting at 70k. Everyone has a different lifestyle, but I disagree that earning 70k a year is "barely doable" in NYC. If you're looking to support a family or ar...

3. NYU accelerated nursing students/applicants

   Riles241 replied to astrmi's topic in New York

   Hi. I'm a student in the accelerated program now. I think you have a good shot. You have good grades in your other classes so I wouldn't worry TOO MUCH about one C - esp if you have strong reccomendations and a decent essay.

4. NYU 15 Month Accelerated BSN - Please share your experience

   Riles241 replied to jistravel's topic in New York

   I purchased all of my books either brand new or "like new" from Amazon and for me it was a little over $100 less than if you were to just buy them all through the NYU bookstore.

5. NYC area BSN Programs: Everything you ever wanted to know

   Riles241 replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York

   SUNY Downstate is definitely harder to get into than NYU. SUNY had like 400 applications this past year for 50 spots I heard. It was also my first choice because it was accelerated and really inexpensive, but I didn't get in. I did get into NYU and a...

6. Need a non-certified private loan ASAP

   Riles241 replied to OneDayAttaTime's topic in General Students

   I have a certified private loan and was asking for about 10 grand more than I actually needed to cover the remainder of tuition & fees and was worried they would deny it, but they didn't. Most schools understand you will have living expenses that...

7. Question about titers and shots

   Riles241 replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

   I went to my general physician who has to fill out my school paperwork. He gave me the order to get the blood titers at a lab.

8. Question about titers and shots

   Riles241 replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

   You have to have the titers done first and then that'll determine if you need boosters. I had titers done for MMR, Hep B and Varicella and they determined I had no immunity to varicella and about 95% immunity to Hep B so I'm getting a booster for tha...

9. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

   Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've moved within NYC 3 times since I've been here and each time I haven't been able to find apartments until the month before I planned on moving - that's generally how things on Craigslist work. So if you're looking for a place for September 1st, t...

10. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

    Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. I definitely felt that way too before I started getting the paperwork taken care of. First off, the doctor doesn't need to fill out 10 pages worth of information, it's really only like 3 of those pages (or 4 ...

11. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

    Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Does anyone else feel overwhelmed? Like thinking that they won't get everything they need done in time? I'm pretty nuts about getting stuff done asap, so the fact that I can't even register until my deposit is in is killing me. I can't give it to the...

12. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

    Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Update! I called Financial Aid and spoke to a really nice guy and explained my situation. He said he would get back to me later today with the information I needed, and he did! So it's official, I'm going to NYU! The ID number they put on all of my m...

13. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

    Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi guys! I found out I got in to NYU's 15 month program today. I wasn't expecting it and have already put some money into another school that I was planning on going to in the fall (probably still am - LIU). I pretty much have to decide by tomorrow w...

14. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    Riles241 replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York

    Thats funny you say that because when I was in the office registering, girls kept coming by and asking the advisor what the hell was going on with WebCT, because they weren't able to register and were getting nervous. I was lucky enough to get my sch...

15. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    Riles241 replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York

    Can I ask you guys where some of your clinicals have been so far? Have you been in manhattan, or do you know of students ahead of you that have clinicals in manhattan? Are the assignments randomly chosen for a student?
