1. The CUNY Nursing School Survey

   sadstudent replied to drizzle's topic in New York

   BMCC sucked. All the professors arrived late, let you leave early and you basically teach yourself everything while they suply the rumor mill - look for something better!

2. how can i keep from vomiting?

   sadstudent posted a topic in New Nurse

   i used to have the strongest stomach!! Really. I never gagged in school during clinicals and i cleaned up alot of body fluids!! however... now that i'm a GN and on the floor... I find myself gagging often. not at the smells, because i don't breath...

   sadstudent replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a new GN and last week (my third on the floor under a preceptor) I had a pt who was incredibly ill. No one was listed and when a friend (who is taking care of him completely) came to find out what was going on he was completely shunned and basic...

   i wear white pants to work every single day... and i say: wear white underwear that cover your whole darn fanny!! that way everyone can see exactly what shape it is! I'm too busy to care about my underwear at work. my biggest challenge is getting ...

5. Electrolytes

   sadstudent replied to inkbh's topic in NCLEX

   I just spent the last day or so going over this more. As I was looking at it i noticedsimple stuff, like how hypernatremia and hyperkalemia both work with the words hyper and hypo. Clarification: when the electrolyte is high, the body does things ...

6. Electrolytes

   sadstudent replied to inkbh's topic in NCLEX

   I have found that it is impossible to memorize ALL of the effects of an electrolyte imbalance, so I focus on the major ones.... that way I don't get completely overwhelmed.

7. Where should I start?

   sadstudent replied to nurse_shane's topic in Cardiac

   I'm a new grad taking boards on March 10th. I was just offered a job on a cardiac tele floor with an amazing group of nurses, great pay and at an impressive hospital and don't want it. Am I crazy? I want a med-surg unit so that I have a broad rang...

8. Advice on NYC Hospitals

   sadstudent posted a topic in New York

   I'm a new grad searching for advice on hospitals in NYC. If anyone could let me know their experience in hospitals in NYC I would really appreciate it as there are sooo many and they are very different in their staffing, funds and attitude. Thanks!

   Ari- are you working presently? I' sending out applications and wondering about hospitals in NYC - went to BMCC and so only have the clinical experiences. Chosing a hospital is a really tough decision for me thanks

10. So I got accepted into BMCC's EVENING Nursing Program

    sadstudent replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    Wow - i remember that moment sooo well. I was in the West Village and I jumped up and down and called everyone I knew. I just graduated from BMCC and though i do not have much positive to say about the professors, if I got through it so too can you....

11. How to handle offers?

    sadstudent replied to intothemoon's topic in Career Support

    I'm having a similar problem. I'm a GN (three weeks ago!) and am looking in NYC. There are a ton of hospitals here and there are major differences in not only commute time but whether the hospital has the supplies you need to do the job, serious fluc...

12. CUNY School - BMCC

    sadstudent replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York

    honestly it's not about how hard the program is. The content all makes sense as long as the power points are actually legible (most are incomplete sentances and even some wrong info). I have a ton of support from other students and have study group...

13. CUNY School - BMCC

    sadstudent replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York

    Just in case anyone reads this very old link - I'm in the nursing program at BMCC and am disgusted with it. I never feel like I am being taught, just read to word-for-word from power points. Most of the professors are angry and annoyed, tired and d...

    sadstudent replied to sadstudent's topic in California

    I'm very sorry, but I have no idea what PM means. Basically, med/surg to start and then ER. My future interests are 1. disaster relief and 2. preventative health.
