1. SUNY DELHI RN Program Fall 2012

   lorba replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in New York

   I am applying for the fall as well. I originally applied for this spring, but took too long to send in the required documents, and received notification that the spring semester is now full, so I rolled my application over to the fall. I'm currently...

2. Got 75 questions, 1/3ed of them SATA

   lorba replied to BulldogMom's topic in NCLEX

   I took mine on Wednesday. Got 75 questions and I felt like it was mostly SATA. I had pretty much the same pattern. I was freaking out through the whole test. Went home and tried the "trick", got the good pop up, and found out yesterday that I pas...

   lorba replied to sunkissedmspriss's topic in NCLEX

   Hi all - I was wondering if anyone knows if the Saunders Q&A book has different questions than the Saunders Comprehensive Review. I have the 3rd edition of Saunders Comprehensive review and am wondering if I should get the Q&A book for more...

4. NY nursing students can't start IV's?

   lorba replied to hamburgers911's topic in New York

   I'm in Brooklyn, NY, and we will not be starting IV's either. I've been told by friends who graduated that it is something that you learn on the job once hired. I plan on taking a phlebotomy course anyway, just so I don't feel completely lost when ...

   lorba replied to Yazmin07's topic in New York

   You could probably get a copy from A-108 if you need it again. I didn't need to provide anything to the clinical agencies. I think some of the other hospitals from future courses may require it. You should keep a copy of the actual physical paperw...

   lorba replied to Yazmin07's topic in New York

   I don't think any of them are really very far from the school. I guess it depends on where you live. I got lucky because I only lived a couple of minutes away from Shorefront. As far as supplies go, you'll definitely need a stethoscope, blood pre...

   lorba replied to Yazmin07's topic in New York

   I did my first semester clinical at Shorefront Geriatric Center on Surf Avenue in Coney Island. I know some of the other ones they go to are Menorah which is right by the school, another one right next door to Shorefront, and I think there is one on...

    lorba replied to Yazmin07's topic in New York

    I took the dosage calculations class at Kingsborough last fall online and it was really easy!! You have to show up in person I think three times to take exams. I ended up with an A in the class. P.S. Congrats on getting accepted into the program!

    I'm supposed to be studying for my last lecture exam tomorrow, but I'm on here to see if anything interesting is going on. How funny that the first post I see is exactly what I'm doing!! Good luck to everybody who is studying for finals!

12. Winter session

    lorba replied to elleNY's topic in New York

    I know that Kingsborough Community College offers Microbiology in the winter session, and I'm pretty sure the other courses that you listed are also offered. I think it may be hard to get a seat in the microbiology class as they tend to fill up very...

13. kind of nervous

    lorba replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    I know exactly how you feel!! We are doing our clinicals at a nursing home for the first semester. We don't actually start until October 6, but that's all I can think about. I worry that I won't be able to hear the blood pressure, or feel the puls...

14. Made it through the first week of nursing school

    lorba replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Well done! 36 out of 40 is an awesome grade! That's how they will be doing the tests at my school too. My classes don't start for another two weeks and I can't wait!

15. taking out a loan for school am I wrong

    lorba replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    I take out loans, but it's not enough for me to live off of. I also babysit on the days that I do not have class and am looking for something on the weekend so I can supplement all of this and get by. I am single and have no support from anyone, so...
