New nurse 3months off orientation here! I made similar mistake with a pt whom we were keeping intentionally permissive hypertension due to ischemic stroke. Order was to hold all BP meds for SBP under 140 but i gave it when sbp was 131 and caught my o...

You have to pay $200 to register for NCLEX first, but even after paying, you still cannot view future testing dates unless you receive ATT (authorization to test) from the board of nursing (of the state in which you apply to be licensed). Board of nu...

I’m sorry to hear this. Did you do quick results to verify PVT? Sometimes pvt can be wrong. Also, did you use other study materials besides UWorld? UW is good but I feel like some other prep materials in addition to UW can be helpful to build strong ...

Can’t comment on Hurst as I didn’t use it. My school used ATI but I also purchased UWorld. I highly recommend U World-I did about 1700 questions out of a little over 2000 they offer along with self assessment test. I also did over 2000 Qs on ATI whil...

Congratulations!!! I took mine on 3/8 and just found out through quick results this morning that I passed too. I completely agree with you. Mine was cut off at 75 questions and I felt pretty bad afterwards. I got exactly 27 SATA questions (I counted)...

I'm not sure I agree with this. I'm in 2017-18 cohort right now finishing up spring semester. From what I see among our classmates, they take experience into consideration a lot more than you think. I personally didn't have good gpa from my first sch...

I had to say something when i saw your question. I was in exact same situation as you when I was applying for Absn programs. I will be starting Amherst's ABSN next month. UMass Amherst is talking about min 3.0 in prereq courses, not your old BA gpa ...

I could not agree with retiredmednurse more. It seems like what you need to do first is to make sure this field is right for you before investing so much time and more loan towards a career that you may end up hating since nursing is definitely not f...

Not yet. I will have to send deposit to other school that has 5/1 deadline but I'm still hoping to hear back from NYU. Good luck everyone!

RyanK94 thanks for that info! I am going to call the school again maybe today or today..give them some time to sort out mails. I was told they still haven't received one of my transcripts that I requested to be sent twice and my 2nd LOR when I called...

I am with you Blackberrymousse, I submitted my app more than 6wks ago and they still say one of my transcripts& LoR haven't arrived yet.. I don't know what to do. I didn't have to do any of this with U Mass amherst and I just got acceptance lette...

Not yet! I applied before priority deadline and I called teice to check on my app status. They keep saying they haven't received 1 transcript from one of my schools...and I requested that to be sent twice! And one of two recommendations sent they hav...

blackberrymousse, I actually didn't look much into the quality of programs I applied to because I seriously doubted my chances of getting accepted anywhere due to my low undergrad gpa although I managed to get 4.0 on all prereqs so I was basically ju...

I know I couldn't believe it either. I still wonder if I did the math wrong but I googled and on some post from 2011 the price was only slightly lower than that. I will have to confirm with school to be sure. I applied to Pace ABSN also and I think t...

Frankie28, very impressive! Congrats on you acceptances. Those are amazing schools Blackberrymousse, I've heard good things about UMass Amherst program also and with their tuition being so affordable, it's a no brainer to go there if moving across th...

Blackberrymousse, how funny we both got into umass amherst and waiting for nyu! I really hope I hear good news from nyu soon because even though they are soooo much more expensive, I do live few blocks from them and moving all the way to MA away from...

I also say definitely apply! I don't know if this helps but when I was applying for U Mass Amherst ABSN program, deadline was 1/15 and I mailed my application and recommendation letters (they only accepted paper application) on 1/12 and I was living...

hi blackberrymousse I called (212) 998-4500 today to check on my application status. My undergrad transcript is under my maiden name and they didn't have that on file with my application because of different last name so good thing I called! Also, I ...

Ah ok thanks for your comment! I won't worry about getting more recs now then :)

I sent in 2 recommendation letters from work. NYU website says '1 - 2 professional or academic letters of recommendation are recommended, but not required.' but I believe these will weigh more than I imagine so I am working on getting 1 or 2 more fro...

Thank you for your input!

oh and I have no idea how I will pay for the school..probably just mostly private loans. I just want to get accepted before I start to worry about this!

I just submitted application. My undergrad gpa is pretty bad so that worries me a lot (2.92) but all my prereqs are 4.0(chem, A&P1,2, Microbio, Lifespan& nutrition), except for Stat which I need to take in summer. I had 2 recommendations from...

I just got an email with acceptance news!

I just got accepted!! I've been on allnurses for a while but just now joined as a member. I am currently living in Europe (short term move) and moving back to the US in a month. I am so excited as I have really bad undergrad gpa and so didn't think I...
