1. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

   HALL-2010 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

   I've been in healthcare for 10 years and an RN for 4 months. The tone of your recent post was honest and not hostile. The posts of the first 7 or 9 pages were hostile towards students. The idea of having to teach was "not my job." Are there other fac...

2. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

   HALL-2010 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

   So, if life kicks you in the butt, there will be casualties in the work place? It is the real world and in the real world, people in the caring business should try to care. If that includes knowing that you are having a crummy day or a crummy life, s...

3. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

   HALL-2010 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

   "Sarcasm" "It's not that complicated." "Naive" "Melodramatic and silly" The above comments reinforce the negative attitudes that are pervasive in the profession and that we should want to move away from embodying. I love reading the posts on AN becau...

4. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

   HALL-2010 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

   Wow...there is so much anger on this thread. During my first job in retail clothing, I learned a valuable lesson. "Everyone has bad days, drama, etc. Life happens...but, when you walk through those doors" and the manager pointed at the store entranc...

   @Toya932 - Thank you! @elchavito and @Toya932 - I'm getting nervous too...I'm debating whether or not to apply to LIU.

7. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

   HALL-2010 replied to toya932's topic in New York

   I too applied for Fall 2013 entry. My gpa is a 3.79 and I scored a 95 on the HESI. When I spoke to the director, Dr. ****, she told me that they solely focus on your prereqs and your HESI score. They don't look at work experience nor your undergradua...

8. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

   HALL-2010 replied to ARickli's topic in New York

   I called today. The woman that answered told me "around mid-february." According to the boards last year, they were notified February 7th but they were given hint by the admissions office that they MAY have a decision by the end of the week. She gave...

9. Lehman College Nursing Program

   HALL-2010 replied to radioed's topic in New York

   I applied to Lehman because since I already have a degree, I really only want to take what I need for nursing. I know someone in the nursing program at Hunter and she had to take music, english, history and a number of courses that they felt would ma...

10. Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

    HALL-2010 replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I graduated in the early 90's. Recently, I needed my HS transcript and when they sent it to me, I realized that they did poor data entry. Some state exams don't show. Some grades are inaccurate. I guess they figured no one will ever notice...who know...

11. Any programs without pre-reqs? (other than Yale)

    HALL-2010 replied to Digthis1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Also, keep in mind that Gen Chem for nurses is easier than Gen Chem for Science students. Many years ago, I thought I wanted to be a physician and started the pre-med route. I took Gen Chem 1 for science majors and got a C. I changed my mind and grad...

    I work across the street from the School of Nursing. It takes all of my willpower to not walk in and ask if they'll please tell me.

    HALL-2010 replied to ARickli's topic in New York

    I'm planning to apply for the 2013 class. I'm nervous and am taking a leap of faith. My undergraduate gpa is laughable. I wasn't a dedicated student when I graduated 16 years ago. I am doing very well in my prereqs. I am missing two more prereqs and ...
