  1. Am I still a nurse?

    I have done a considerable amount of substituting in schools this past year. School nursing IS nursing. When there is an emergency to handle, can you call a resident, respiratory or your manager? Nope....it's you and you alone. Only a NURSE could...
  2. I got accepted to nassau community college!

    Natingale, Many thanks for your calm and no nonsense factual replies all the time! I won't hesitate to contact you for your much appreciated help - although I can't be sure I'll be calm, and I know I probably won't be factual!:) Enjoy your weekend, ...
  3. I got accepted to nassau community college!

    Natingale, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I can't believe you posted your congrats to me - earlier today, I was thinking of how I owed YOU a note of thanks for all of your past encouragement. I had heard a lot of negatives from sooo many peopl...
  4. I got accepted to nassau community college!

    Karenanda, Congrats to you as well. I've heard that the interview process isn't a big deal, but don't quote me on that:) I should be able to get more info from some of the people I work with that have gone thru it, and I'll pass it along. I'm exci...
  5. Hi all, Today I got my acceptance letter for NCC's nursing program. I'm sooo happy, excited and, of course, a little nervous, but I've waited 1/2 lifetime for this opportunity. Thanks to everyone that gave me encouragement and support along the way...
  6. Nassau Community College

    Karenanda, Congrats with your knock-out GPA! They didn't give specifics at the meeting as to what classes needed to be done prior to acceptance except of course for the obvious ones (math, eng, A&P1, etc). I don't know what you would call them,...
  7. Nassau Community College

    Hi Suzi4, Thanks for joining to chat with me! Waiting and applying is such a tough process and its nicer to have people to talk with that are going thru the same nerve wracking experience! You have a terrific GPA as well, and I wish you lots of lu...
  8. Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    I'm with you. I have 2 children at home and there is NO WAY I'm bringing anything home to them that I have the power to control. Shame on the nurses being so careless. I work the night shift -- yes, there are times I am soooo tired I don't want to...
  9. Nassau Community College Nursing Program

    Allimarie, I know this is an old post, but you mentioned classmates with 3.6ish GPA's. Were these GPA's accepted for the September or January class at NCC? I just applied for January. Thanks!
  10. can you become CNA after 1st semester clinicals?

    Hi, I got my CNA during my pre-reqs. I called 2 local hospitals and asked for the hiring criteria for CNA's (or PCA's). Both hospitals said that you had to have either your state issued CNA or have completed a semester of clinicals. To be honest, ...
  11. Nassau Community College

    Hi, all, I applied to Nassau Community College today for the Spring 2010 semester. I understand that the Spring class is much smaller than the Fall semester. Would anyone mind sharing -- I applied with a 3.75 and all pre-reqs done. Anyone out ther...
  12. More CNA woes.

    Johnsboo, Wow! You said it all! THANKS!
  13. More CNA woes.

    Hi, As a new CNA (but also a nursing student), I am floored by the attitude of the CNA's where I work. My impression has always been that the CNA's are there for patient care AND to ASSIST the RN's. It seems like the RN's tip toe around the CNA's(?)...
  14. I'm 39 and want to become a nurse.

    Go for it! I'm 46 (female, though) and went back to school to start pre-reqs when my youngest son started kindergarten. Prior to my children, I worked in NYC for many years as an "executive assistant" and also at one point a "legal secretary". Got...
  15. Nassau Community College?

    Natingale, thanks for the quick response, I pm'd you.
