   acr2001 replied to acr2001's topic in New York

   Yep, now they won't even let you in the door without one. No longer a rumor. Memo came down last week. Hospital employees who were in nursing school as of Dec 31st last year are grandfathered in though for Associates degree, but must still of course ...

2. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

   Very interesting stuff! Especially this bit! Med dose calc is a 1 credit course now, full semester (but so drawn out!) and we still use that textbook textbook. CSI is mentioned in it and all of the sample MARs in it are from SIUH with the logo remo...

   Bingo. If there were a prize, you'd win! Seems like this is going to put CSI between a rock and a hard place. Hopefully they finally come to their senses and open a straight-through BSN program. Personally, I plan to become a CRNA so I will be gettin...

5. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

   acr2001 replied to acr2001's topic in New York

   For anyone in a similar situation - I confirmed that this is a new directive from NSLIJ to all of their hospitals. No more ADN nurses unless they graduated before January 23rd 2013 PERIOD. Even if you are an internal employee trying to transfer in. I...

   acr2001 replied to acr2001's topic in New York

   I'm afraid you have your facts confused.You are referring to their BSN in 5 rule. They still hire ADN nurses under that rule if they sign the BSN in 5 agreement. And yes, generally all of their postings have said BSN required for a year now. LIJ hosp...

7. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

   acr2001 posted a topic in New York

   Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor? I have been told by 2 separate hospital employees that NSLIJ just passed down a policy that NO associate degree nurses who have graduated after January 23rd 2013 are to be hired. Basically a complete BAN on ADN ...

8. Undergrad Grades - Poor transcript from previous (Before RN) degree

   acr2001 replied to acr2001's topic in SRNA

   Thanks for the help all, I really appreciate it. I haven't received less than a B+ yet in any nursing classes / pre-reqs / sciences. However, during that Business degree I did get a WU (withdrew unofficially - which averages in as an F). I also got 2...

9. Undergrad Grades - Poor transcript from previous (Before RN) degree

   acr2001 posted a topic in SRNA

   Hoping you guys can offer some advice. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management in 2010 with a GPA of 3.1. I was a fairly terrible student, didn't care too much for my grades, and dropped about 7 classes over the 4.5 years. It's ...
