   Another good book that we use is Calculate with Confidence by Gray Morris. It shows you different methods of the calculations and you can choose which one you are more comfortable with and it gives SO many practice problems. Good Luck!

2. Curious of other schools' policies about MED MATH EXAMS at the start of each semester

   gtd529 replied to hamburgers911's topic in New York

   In my program, we take them at the end of every semester (right before finals) and we are also given 2 chances to get a 95% or better. If you do not pass the test on the second try, you get kicked out of the program completely. So honestly, the fac...

   You just wear your scrubs to lab and clinical. They go over all of it with you during orientation. If you go on to Pace's book store website, you can get all the ISBNs for the books you need. Get them online because it will save you a lot of money (...

   Washcaps, I wouldn't give up on an accelerated program all together. There are numerous ABSN programs around both NYC and Westchester. My advice to you is do your research. Nursing school is hard no matter how you do it. Keep at the pre-reqs beca...

   gtd529 replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York

   All I can say is good luck everyone. .38 of a point below the required grade gets you kicked out. Don't bother appealing because even when numerous staff members agree that you have a basis for an appeal, you will get denied. So you get sent to th...
