   Hi up_a_hill! During orientation it was mentioned for accelerated student the cut off for this past incoming class was a 3.7, and for generic students a 3.5. I don't think they really put much emphasis on your previous degree gpa. Now i only applied ...

   toya932 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took micro a year ago and I absolutely loved it-- especially lab!!!! It's very interesting and that made it really easy for me, because I payed attention in class. Good luck with all the classes you are taking!

3. Dosage question

   toya932 replied to laurie121's topic in General Students

   Hello. For questions like these use this formula: Ml/minutes x drip factor. Since the first problem states 1 hour that is 60 minutes. So you would set up as so: 125 ml/ 60 minutes x drip factor which was provided. Good luck!

4. Is it a MUST to be able to drive once you start nursing school?

   toya932 replied to futurenursekl's topic in General Students

   As the others mentioned, it depends where you live. I live in New York and we have public transportation, so I just use that. The public transportation is very unreliable sometimes, but I do not have money to buy a car right now. Gas is really expens...

8. Hunter Bellevue School Of Nursing? Other Nursing Schools in NYC?

   toya932 replied to mondalroman's topic in New York

   Hello. Now I did not apply to Hunter's program, but I did apply to Lehman, since both are in the CUNy system I assume they have pretty similar processes. Now you say you are entering freshman year this fall, if this is true, you will not finish all p...

9. Backpack, watch for nursing program?

   toya932 replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Students

   Also IMO, getting a really expensive watch during nursing school is not wise. You want a watch that if it got damaged from some bodily fluid or was scratched you'll be able to shrug it off and get a new one. But that's just what I think! :)

10. Backpack, watch for nursing program?

    toya932 replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what a sweeping secondhand watch is, but I believe the nursemates watch has a ticking second hand. But I highly recommend it, when I received it though, it did not work, so I payed about 5 dollars and got a new battery, and that did the ...

    toya932 replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Students

    Hi! If your school requires you to brings your textbook you need a regular book bag. Rolling kind? Eh not a fan lol. In terms of a watch, I am not sure if you are a woman or guy(sorry no offense). But I got the nursemates basic dial watch on amazon. ...

13. Opinion on your uniforms?

    toya932 replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I think our uniforms are okay... for tall people that is lol. It's a royal blue zip top from Dove Apparel, and white pants from anywhere. The top is so uncomfortable, very itchy and heavy, I was sweating within five minutes. I like how it fits me tho...

    toya932 replied to toya932's topic in New York

    Hey! I went today to get my packet and permission. I arrived around 8:45 am and left around 1. It took so long because we had to wait for advisors to arrive, in order to get permission. I believe permission for new nursing students ends when the offi...
