2. kaplan readiness test

   emmie1024 replied to JM RN's topic in NCLEX

   Good luck!! I take my test 2/24, but I haven't taken Qtrainer 6 or 7 yet. My instructor said to take the last QTrainer like 4 days before the actual NCLEX and if you score below a 62% then you should push back test. Is that the best way to do it? Or ...

3. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

   emmie1024 replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Hunt

   I had a Panel interview there on Jan 17th as well for the In-Patient Residency program. I too thought it was interesting to interview with other candidates in the room, especially since it was only a half hour time slot! I haven't heard back, but the...

4. How long does it typically take to get a NYS RN license by endorsement?

   emmie1024 replied to maryguy's topic in New York

   Cjthegreat, it only took 4 days for NY to endorse the license!? Is that typically of NY? I'm debating about whether or not to take my boards in NJ or NY state first. I live on the border and I hear NJ takes a lot longer to endorse licenses than NY so...

5. Dad's Final Gift

   emmie1024 replied to CalNevaMimi's topic in General Nursing

   Your post really touched a personal note with me. I lost my father very unexpectedly during my finals week of my first semester of nursing school. He had undergone surgery at one of NYC's top hospitals and was recovering on a cardiac step-down unit. ...

   emmie1024 replied to oldfashionedlove's topic in New Jersey

   Oh that would be great if it were free... being that these PDA's are going to cost a couple hundred. I saw one on ebay too... so hopefully I'll get that one so i dont have to buy it new. I've only been to the campus once (for info night in march) and...

   emmie1024 replied to oldfashionedlove's topic in New Jersey

   That's a really great idea to get one off Ebay! i am going to start looking. We probably have to buy the specific software they want us to use too. I think I am going to wait until orientation to buy the books as well. Do you live near campus? I live...

   Hello! I've been accepted to UMDNJ for the FALL 09 program as well. I'm looking forward to orientation. Where did you get information on what type of PDA we need to buy? I would like to start buying books, uniform, etc while I am still working and ha...

   Hi rgirl! Can you please share your NJCU experience with me? I've been accepted there for the accelerated BSN program and one other program in NY. I am really torn and I'm not sure which is a better program. Was 12 months too crammed? Did you feel li...

    emmie1024 replied to joanne82's topic in New Jersey

    Hello... I was accepted to NJCU as well for fall 09. Can anyone tell me more about this program? How many people are in the class? Is 12 months enough time to prepare you well for the NCLEX exam? How are clinicals run? Any information would be extrem...

    emmie1024 replied to donnasRN's topic in New York

    I know the commute would be unbearable if we got out of class at rush hour...so that is why i am hoping the class schedule is how she described it to me! That is a big factor in my decision, as I really do not want to dorm up there. My rent right now...

    emmie1024 replied to donnasRN's topic in New York

    I know... it doesn't seem that bad... but I'm worried if the schedule is more like 8-5pm, it'll prob take me close to 2 hours to get home and over the bridge! I could have sworn she said the schedule was like 8am-2 most days, but don't hold me too it...

    emmie1024 replied to donnasRN's topic in New York

    Thank you! Yes... I would be commuting from New Jersey. It would take me about 45 min but that is not including traffic over the bridge, etc. I don't think I would want to live on campus or in westchester. I really enjoyed meeting with Dr. Apold too,...

    Sounds good! I have to get my deposit in today... I am still applying to NJCU and UMDNJ (apps are due May1st), because I live in New Jersey and it would be a lot closer to my house. But I was REALLY impressed with Concordia and I thought the campus a...

    Hello.... I too was just accepted to Concordia's accelerated program for the Fall of 09. Did you get your packet in the mail? I received a phone call, but I'm still waiting to get everything back. Did you apply anywhere else?
