   JentheHen replied to JentheHen's topic in Psychiatric

   Thanks for these replies. Yes, morecoffeepls, the camera thing crossed a line for me and I mentioned it to the nurse manager, who shrugged it off. Unfortunately bad patient care is often shrugged off as staffing is such a problem. (Why do people who ...

   I am so grateful for these great responses--thanks to everyone. Mommycakers, I envy the support you enjoy. It sounds like the hospital where I did my psych rotation in nsg school--enough staff, excellent management, a collaborative environment. My c...

   JentheHen replied to JentheHen's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you for responding, gnursjr2. That's what I'm trying to do, but the judging and scrutiny (exactly right!) makes me nervous and anxious and just compounds my feelings of incompetence. I need to get a grip and think positive and thought posting w...

   JentheHen posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Hi. I graduated last May and was thrilled to find a job a year after graduation at a big city hospital (I wanted to work at a public hospital, not private) in a psych unit. My preceptor was wonderful, my orientation was 3 months and seemed extremely ...

5. Need some help: NYU spring 2012 application

   JentheHen replied to dangerkader08's topic in New York

   I graduated from NYU's accelerated degree program and found it to be an infuriating place. I know there are problems in all programs, but I felt for such a hefty price tag, it was ridiculous that lab supplies would often run out, Simulation Man rarel...

6. OB Rotations

   JentheHen replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

   I loved my OB rotation. We were at Maimonides in Brooklyn, which has a huge number of vaginal births going on all the time due to the largely Orthodox Jewish/Hasidic population (most of my classmates were lucky to see one C-section). We rotated throu...

7. NYU Clincals

   JentheHen replied to noviciate's topic in New York

   Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I'm pretty sure you have to be a fulltime student at NYU to take a clinical as you first have to be accepted into the undergraduate division and have all your pre-reqs tranferred. You should call the College of N...

   JentheHen replied to noviciate's topic in New York

   Yes, NYU accepts students for the Spring semester, which begins after MLK day. I think the deadline is November 1st or so. Your first clinical course will be Fundamentals of Nursing. This is an intensive program, and unless you have an extremely fle...

   I appreciate all of these replies. Thanks, I feel better.

10. Hipaa test

    JentheHen posted a topic in HIPAA

    Our clinical placement director just sent us a last minute email saying that in order to participate in clinicals, we need to take a hipaa test. Deadline is Tuesday. Is this something I should/can study for? Any help/guidance/advice is greatly appr...

    JentheHen replied to lilkaymin's topic in New York

    That's interesting, kaymin. Can you tell me more about the clinical situation--what's involved in registration, how many hours a week, etc. Where will you be working? I talked to a student starting in January who is worried that she won't get enou...

    JentheHen replied to lilkaymin's topic in New York

    NYSBNHopeful, we were asked to respond within three weeks of the acceptance letter's date. To register, you'll need a current BLS (basic life support) for Healthcare Providers, a recent history/physical, and blood tests to prove MMR, chicken pox, an...

    JentheHen replied to lilkaymin's topic in New York

    Congratulations to you as well, Suzy, and best of luck with the scholarships/grants/aid. Your prior hospital experience is a huge plus, I'd imagine. I will be relying on my savings and loans--pretty stressful! My BA in English is from Barnard and I'v...

    JentheHen replied to lilkaymin's topic in New York

    Hello...I've been lurking for a few months and this is my first post ever. I received my acceptance letter to NYU's 15 month program starting in January about a week ago, and have been going nuts trying to get all the proper bloodwork, immunizations ...
