1. Hudson Valley Community College--Has anyone gone there???

   bratt8781 replied to carrie42's topic in New York

   I recommend that you go to Samaritan. I am an HVCC student right now and I will most likely be applying somewhere else. Most of the instructors are indifferent...they do not care if you do well and they aren't helpful. There isn't enough lab time ...

2. Hudson Valley Community College--Has anyone gone there???

   bratt8781 replied to carrie42's topic in New York

   I am currently a student at HVCC, and many of us are not happy with the 'training' we are receiving. The skill exams are very difficult because we a re expected to learn most of them by reading and watching the dumb videos. There isn't enough lab t...

3. nursing clothes, t-shirts,pants, etc

   bratt8781 replied to JavaMama98's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I am a nursing student and I also think a lot of the clothes and things are cute. I will probably get some, but there is another reply that brings up a good point. I know that I also would not want to be bothered most of the time by people who want...

   bratt8781 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York

   The HVCC program is extremely competitive, and also has a long waiting list. I just applied for transfer into the Nursing Department (I am currently in Individual Studies). I was told that I may be able to start Nursing I in the fall of 2011, 2010 ...

8. What are YOU taking Fall semester?

   bratt8781 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will be a part-time student due to the fact that I have 2 young daughters. I don't want to overload! I will be taking Algebra and Biology in the fall and my last pre-req (chemistry) in the spring! Hopefully the wait list at my school is les than...

9. Are we all old???

   bratt8781 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi everyone, I am 25. I am thrilled that I will be with more mature women and maybe some men too. I am comforted to know that I won't be stuck with all fresh-out-of-high-school 18 year old kids! I have been out of High School 10 years now...wow! A...

11. Is it too late for me?

    bratt8781 replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

    Also like you, I am 25 and will not graduate until I am 29. What is most comforting to me is that nursing schools have an average age of students in their thirties. I am so glad that I won't be the only one that is not straight out of high school! Go...

12. I Feel Like A Dummie

    bratt8781 replied to calcap34's topic in General Nursing

    I also have some people in my life who are not positive and supportive of me going to school for RN. I refuse to let that hold me back and in fact use that as my motivation to prove them all wrong. It is just a matter of ignorance and possibly even...

13. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    I really appreciate everyone's advice, thank you!

14. "It shouldn't be that hard to be a nurse"

    bratt8781 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I agree, it is very sad and disappointing. I am on a wait list to get into the nursing program at my school. This profession is in serious need, and it isn't the lack of students but yet the lack of schools, teachers, etc.
