  1. I need help with cuny nursing program

    Private schools will run you a little more money but there are no waiting lists typically and they will usually also accept lower GPA's. Don't put your faith into the CUNY system for nursing, the competition is ridiculous and not worth the stress.
  2. long island university nursing school

    Once you finish the pre-reqs as long as you have a B- in all of them then yes the HESI is the only thing that determines it. You need a 75 (in every section and overall) to pass. I didn't live on campus but a few of my friends did. You won't be a fre...
  3. long island university nursing school

    KEEP ON TOP OF THEM is my biggest advice. Call every month and make sure they do it. If you got in the first time, you'll get in again (there's really no waiting list for the program). How disorganized were they? Well let's put it this way. I was tak...
  4. Think I have a shot at an ICU job coming out of my program?

    I think that you may have a chance of getting an ER job just because of the EMS experience which will set you apart from the new grads without that kind of experience.
  5. Should men be school nurses? Have you ever heard of any?

    Me personally I don't see how a male school nurse would be any different from a male doctor or a male nurse in a hospital? If there were issues with comfort all you'd have to do is ask if there were some arrangement where a female staff member could ...
  6. SUNY Empire State College BSN

    I don't have a problem with online programs, I plan on doing my Master's in education through a distance learning program. The thing is that with nursing I find it a little difficult. If it's for nurses who are already RN's then that's not too bad, b...
  7. Need advice on internship vs summer ob/peds

    I'd say do the internship, it'll look great on a resume when you're competing with all the new grads and you maybe even get offered a job for after you graduate. I think it's better just for getting a job after graduation. Med-surg isn't even easy to...
  8. applying in nyc

    It's becoming more and more of a reality. They prefer BSN or BSN enrolled nurses and usually the ones getting jobs now with associate degrees are ones with contacts in the hospitals or experience. Hospitals starting salary range from $65,000-$75,000 ...
  9. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    You would need to call the nursing dept but usually they have tests 3-4 times a month on Friday's and Saturday's. You have to register in person for the exam along with a $30 money order/check. You can only take it twice and only once in a semester. ...
  10. I recently left LIU's nursing program along with a few others. I was leaving nursing all together so it wasn't the school but I think I along with a few other people would have chosen other schools over LIU. For one LIU's tuition has gotten very pric...
  11. Do You Regret Nursing School?

    Wow LOL I don't think many people noticed this post was started over 6 years ago!
  12. Nursing is still a good degree to get but I think everyone puts down the other very crucial health professions that usually don't get as much coverage like nursing such as Speech-Language Pathology, Respiratory Therapist and Occupational Therapy. The...
  13. A question about college and RNs who got their GED.

    It depends on how much work you got done with your GED. For me it wasn't a difference at all but that is because I had three years of english, three years of math, two years of science and history from HS. I pretty much had most of my classes for my ...
  14. Postpartum nursing vs Mother-Baby nursing.....

    I don't think it matters, as long as you have experience within one of those sections I think you will be fine. Try and see if you can eventually get a chance to float to the nurser every now and then.
  15. Baths and other stuff.

    I don't think anyone looks foward to wiping butts lol. I just wanted to say that it also depends on the area of nursing you do. If you're in a place like L&D, Psych, Peds you might see less bed baths taking place but regardless you'll have to do ...
