   esculenta replied to steven007's topic in General Nursing

   Interesting article! So glad to see a student defending a strong science background. I'm pre-nursing and can't wait for Microbiology and A&P this fall. I'm wondering about your statement Who is it that students think put pressure on them thi...

   esculenta replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York

   Futrldnrse, Did you go to OCC? I'm in the Syracuse area also and haven't started school yet but still quite curious about hiring conditions in this area (getting ahead of myself). Great to hear that the hospitals let you work before graduation! Wh...

3. " Self directed" nursing program..???

   esculenta replied to DahliaDaisy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   DahliaDaisy, did you end up enrolling for OCC's Nursing program? It sounds really competitive.. less than 40 students per class, plus a limited number of LPN-->RN spots. I applied for this fall, but an Admissions rep told me most first time appli...

7. New grad wanting to work in women's health

   esculenta replied to etat45's topic in Career Support

   I'd be interested in responses to this as well.. I am going to nursing school in the fall, so it will be a while before I can actually pursue these positions. One place to try (if you want to work in a clinic, at least to start) might be Planned Pa...

8. How I Studied for the TEAS

   esculenta replied to on eagles wings's topic in TEAS

   I took the TEAS last week.. I've been out of school for a little while so it was kind of fun to brush up on the math and science. One resource I used for practice questions that I didn't see on your list was: Test Prep Review I also used a library c...
