City tech nursing Fall 2016

Published

Hi guys, I applied for the nursing program at City tech for the Fall 2016 semester. Did anyone recieve their results yet?

Woww, This program is getting crazy competitive. Also, its funny how they wanna weigh it b/w the Teas & GPA b/c u just have to aim as high as you can on both regardless. Don't give up on your dream of becoming a nurse! I would try to take classes to boost my GPA. Like A&P 2 & Mat 1375 (Pass w/ A's) You already have a great teas score it's good for a yr. I barely passed mine w/ a 72 u smart :-)
Thanks Bae, ill try again next term

Yea mat 1375 (Pre-calc) isn't bad, just all graphs and your calculator. Just stay on track cause it's easy to get lost in that class. Best of luck!

Does anyone know what to do for the HIPAA, OSHA, infection control and the child abuse mandatory reporting?

Hey prospective nursing students, I was accepted for the Spring 2016 entering class and just finished my first semester. If anyone needs answers to what needs to be done prior to school starting, leave your questions here and I will try to answer as many of them as I can. @Jyrne, for the HIPPA, OSHA, Infection Control, and Child Abuse Mandatory Reporting sections of your certifiedprofile account you must create an account on the MEDCOM website provided to you in your acceptance letter and watch the videos with the corresponding titles to the requirement on certified profile. Please keep in mind that many of the required videos have multiple parts and you must watch all required parts. Once a video is done, there are roughly 10 to 20 questions that will be given as a quiz on the video material. If you pass the quiz, you will be able to print a certificate with your name on it proving that you passed. Those certificates must be uploaded to certifiedprofile as part of the clearance. Other medcom videos will be required followed by more quizzes, however, specifically which videos are required will be discussed during your first five weeks of skills training at NYCCT. If anyone has any more questions please don't hesitate to post.

P.S. If you're smart, one of the questions will be which hospitals are good for first semester students :dead:

Does anyone know if we have to wear our uniforms on the first day of clinicals? And where do we go on the first day of clinicals? To the hospital or to city tech?

First semester is supposed to be easy, but if you going into it with that mind set you will be in deep water. Improve your studying technique as you attend each class and always ask questions. One of your greatest resource is your classmates. They come from all walks of like and some even have medical backgrounds. Make friends. As for the first day of clinicals, if your uniform came in time you can wear it to clinical. If it did not arrive on time, the professors allow a grace period up to around three weeks for you to have your full uniform. This includes the scrubs, stethoscope, and white nursing shoes. Your first five weeks will be spent at city tech in their simulation labs so report to the school. Continue to post questions and I will try to get to them all.

@askmeanything, is it necessary to have all certifications up and complete by the first day of lab or first day of clinical?
