   LaCana replied to lyttlemomma's topic in Psychiatric

   I got my RN license last year and my first (and only job so far) was at a psych unit, similar to your position. I had different advices when I was a new grad, the most common one being, "if you start in psych you'll be in psych forever." I find it ...

   I agree with EachTeach...her words are so true... come to this school if you think you won't get in into CUNY's or your gpa is horrible, or you are missing pre-req for a BSN (my case)...sometimes I wish I took one more year to apply to BSN programs....

   my gpa was really high... but don't worry about gpa, it should be around 3.0, worry about doing really well on the exam. I think they sell TEAS practice books... but you can use any other nursing exam books because the TEAS doesn't have a science se...

   I think the entrance exam is what counts the most. People might say they look at everything...but that's not really true. They really go by the exam number. I got in the high 90's and that's all they talked about. Plus the test is really easy, it...

    LaCana replied to rp23's topic in Career Support

    Why did LICHSON switch from NLN to TEAS exam? is it because their accreditation expired? When I went to the school i saw the accreditation award on the wall that said NLN Accreditation from 2004 to 2008... Anyone know?

12. Has anyone recieved a phone call for an interview from lichson

    LaCana replied to Diana sg's topic in New York

    It's two pages, one to congratulate and one to send the deposit. The school seems a little pricey~ For those still waiting: i had my interview a little late, but i think because of my high test score I received the letter, therefore I think t...

    LaCana replied to Diana sg's topic in New York

    I went on an interview... it was very laid-back... but at the end they wanted me to write in a piece of paper why they should take me. She told me to make it short so i wrote really little. I don't know if that was the right thing to do. My teas s...
