1. Need help with job offers!

   mandilee428 replied to boushie87's topic in Career Support

   I know this thread is old, but how did the oral surgeon's office work out? Are you still there and if you are do you like it? I would've gone w/the OS instead of LTC too. LTC experience will usually not get your foot in the door at a hospital and ...

2. Dealing with "haters"...

   mandilee428 replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

   I agree 100%. My older sister is a 2nd yr nursing student and I am starting nursing school this fall. She has told our mother that I have "no idea" what I'm getting into going to nursing school and that she doesn't see how I could possibly make it ...

3. Scrubs!!

   mandilee428 replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

   Those look great! I wish my school's looked like that- we are head to toe in hunter green and I feel like I look like a custodian lol.

4. Acceptance letter into the nursing program

   mandilee428 replied to vega26's topic in General Students

   At 26 years old you have plenty of life in you still :) I just got accepted to a program for Fall 2013 and I'm so excited! I first applied back when I was 20 and was not accepted and I've been working towards this on and off ever since. I'm 32 now...

5. As a nursing student I'm afraid of _____. (fill in the blank)

   mandilee428 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   Being overwhelmed, failing, paying for it, not being able to find a job afterwards

   It's for SUNY Adirondack- good luck @ Ellis; my sister goes there (evening/wkend program) and she loves it :)

7. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

   mandilee428 replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got my acceptance letter!! One important thing: originally I was rejected by this school. I couldn't understand why because I met the minimum requirements and then some. So I sent them a letter pointing out what their requirements are versus wha...

   Me too :DDDDDD I'm going to the group session on 4/1- perhaps we'll be able to put names to faces then. Congrats and good luck! Here's to a crazy two years we're about to embark on

   Cayuga also has a Pre-Nursing program which I'm pretty sure you can do it all online

    mandilee428 replied to missrosy's topic in New York

    I have also done classes through Cayuga CCC and I have really liked them. I've always been a non-matriculated student and registering has always been easy and hassel-free, they don't charge you to send your transcripts anywhere, and a transcript req...

11. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York

    Day or evening program? Do you have a degree already? I applied for the day program I have a BS in counseling, at first I thought that would give me an advantage but from what I hear it's pretty common for people to apply there who are just like me...

12. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York

    I think mine went pretty well. She said that I have a pretty good chance, we'll just see if I survive the final selection. She said since I'm not taking any classes @ ACC right now I'll probably hear in a couple weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed. ...

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York

    So how'd it go?

14. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York

    Ugh! I hope it's not as bad as I imagine it being. I'm not always so crazy about being interviewed, but at least we're 2/3 of the way to being accepted :) My sister told me that she heard some rumor about the program having a 5 year waiting list? ...

15. LPN or RN- Need Advise Please!!!

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's too bad that LPN's are being phased out of the hospitals. I think it's because hospitals can hire techs for less money and they don't have to deal w/unions, but it's a shame
