   Phillips Beth Israel School of nursing??

   nurse2btracy replied to nancyctman's topic in New York

   I have not heard back from beth israel regarding being readmitted for the fall 2009 semester. Honestly, while I would be thrilled if they accepted me as a readmit I do not know how I would handle it financially.

   nurse2btracy replied to nancyctman's topic in New York

   While I do not have her personal email address. If you go to their website and click on contact us there is a spot to send an email. From my experience, Ms. Gallo is the one answering these emails and has always gotten back to me with 1 or 2 days. ...

   Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   nurse2btracy replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   Does anybody know if they stopped doing weight loss surgeries at the hospital? My surgeon left a couple of years ago and is now at Beth Israel. Maybe he saw the writing on the wall.

   Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   nurse2btracy replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   OMG - I am not a nurse but have had surgery there and spent alot of time there in early 2002. If this rumor is true, I am so sorry for anybody who is currently working there. I find it so hard to believe that such a big hospital can just shut down. ...

   nurse2btracy replied to CP1983's topic in New York

   1. I was originally admitted for the Fall 2007 semester but I withdrew because I felt that it may not be for me (and I was starting to doubt my abilities because I was listening to certain family members who felt that I could not be a nurse) but now...

   The Patient I Failed

   nurse2btracy replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Relations

   YOU did not fail this patient, her DAUGHTER/CHILD did. My father passed away in June from cancer and had a DNR. He was in so much pain at the end and it would have been inhumane to fight the DNR. Her child was SELFISH. While you feel you failed t...

    Tracey, please give us an update on this thread since it is over a year old. If you haven't gotten into a RN program, I would advice a LPN program so more doors can open for you! In 2007 I was accepted into the Philips Beth Israel School of Nursing. ...

    Can nursing be begun as a career at night?

    nurse2btracy replied to howardrgreenberg's topic in General Students

    I think that most nursing schools offer a night program. Once you finish pre-reqs I am positive that you could find a nursing school that offers courses at night. Good luck...

    Hospice nursing

    nurse2btracy replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Hospice

    I would prefer to work at an inpatient facility rather than in-house hospice. My father was in an inpatient facility and everyone was wonderful.

    My father was diagnosed in April with lung CA with mets to the bone. By the end of May he started to complain of the pain (I think that the pain was present for quite some time but never complained (which was very rare for him)). He went into the h...

    nurse2btracy posted a topic in Hospice

    I started NS last year but dropped out because I was not sure it was for me. Immediately after dropping out I realized that I may have jumped the gun. I always planned on going back after I finished up by bachelor's in sociology. Recently, my fathe...

    Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I will continue to take pre-reqs and apply starting next year. The nurses my father encountered were so great and caring and with a little confidence in my abilities and alot of hard work I know that I can be...
