Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

yes the program is still four semsters for me(2yrs) without the breaks its more like 14 months lol.. yes i came in with nothing, first semester i took five classes 18creds it is doable but harder. basically it will be your whole life, inclass 4-5 days. the first semester you will have fundamentals and you will go to clinicals at either mary immaculate in queens or st johns once a week. ontop of that,dsage calc class 1hr and your theraputic interactions class 3hours. you will have to take A&P I and psch I . next semester you will take med/surg I wich has two clinical days per week plus your human growth and A&P II.
LUCKLY, I work three 12 hour shifts at mount sinai friday,saturday and sunday overnight so the only days that are stresful are monday morningsand friday evenings( no sleep )
it will be the hardest thing you have ever done, BUT IT IS DO-ABLE!
keep the questions coming i dont mind....

FUNDAMENTALS: the first half you are in class and skills lab with the whole class. towards the the last seven weeks the class is broken into ABCD groups and you clinically rotate with your group on the day you would normally have skills, either tues or thurs. youll prob here from them a week before you start,lol..for me, i heard and then had orientation and first day of classes all in the same week...uniforms you have to purchase. the school will tell you were to getem( theres only one store they are overpriced, and the uniforms are horrid colors) white bottoms blue pinstripe tops..uglier for the ladies heheheh..
