  1. LOW GPA ABSN Program NY

    Try TCI in queens, or AMG in Brooklyn. I’m sure there’s others but I’m not familiar with them. It’s about 13 months long. Feel free to message me if you have any questions ?
  2. LOW GPA ABSN Program NY

    My story is almost identical to yours. Also NY is extremely competitive even for an associates. What I did was I went back to school for LPN. If you can pass a basic math/reading/science test, you’re in. Now I’m going to be starting an LPN-RN bridge ...
  3. So I will be done with my LPN program at the end of April and my graduation should be in May. Financially, I'm pretty much in a situation where I need to have some kind of money rolling in by May or the beginning of June and I was wondering how long ...
  4. LPN program in NY

    I too have a bachelor's in psychology and I am nearing the end of my LPN program. While I do agree with the comment above that there are cheaper and quicker routes to take if you simply need to start making money ASAP, LPN positions are here to stay....
  5. Dealing with Pets

    Hey guys! So I'm in school to be an LPN and the end goal is to be a CRNA. In the meantime, I wanted to do Home Health Nursing when I graduate LPN school all the way up until I get my BSN. I'd rather do that than to work at an ECF with a 40:1 ratio. H...
  6. *HELP* leaving my 4 year to attend a 2 year?

    I was in a very similar situation. I too am from NYC and went to UB. UB is extremely competitive and the CUNYs in NYC are just as competitive, if not more because it’s cheaper than private schools. I think if your grades are at leastttt a 3.4, you’l...
  7. LPN Student

    I have 3 more classes left in my LPN program so I can offer some advice. It definitely gets harder as you move along. What I would say is to become one with your ATI books. Also go on the ATI website and take at least 1 adaptive quiz everyday. You ca...
  8. You are supposed to assess bp and hr prior to giving a beta blocker for a baseline. However what's most important is the vital signs during the peak level. If the bpm is lower than 50 you hold. A baseline is still important so I'm a bit shocked that ...
  9. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

    So I'm currently in LPN school but my end goal is to be a CRNA. I was just doing some research on CRNA schools in the Tri-State Area. I was looking at the admission requirements for Columbia University and I see that it says you only need an Associat...
  10. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

    wow thanks so much!
  11. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

    ..yeah..long story short, life happened. But my GPA now is pretty strong. Nothing I can do about the past.
  12. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

    I don't think you're being pessimistic. I appreciate your honest opinion because it's more or less what I was thinking anyway. And I believe you when you say CRNA school is extremely competitive. Even the ABSN program is competitive..especially in NY...
  13. Where Can I Work?

    So I'm about 4 months into my LPN program in NY. Before starting, I was lucky enough to get money from my father that just wanted me to focus on school and not work. However, I'm going to need to have some sort of job by November or December because ...
  14. Obnoxious Classmate

    So I just started my program a little over 2 months ago and I’ve been oh so blessed to be seated next to someone that continuously asks me to repeat what the professor just said during the lectures and as I tell her, I miss out on the new things the ...
  15. Laptop vs IPad for note taking

    I prefer an iPad. I retain information better by writing as opposed to typing on a laptop. It’s all about finding your learning style, what works , what doesn’t etc
  16. Obnoxious Classmate

    We were assigned seats from day 1 so if I were to just all of a sudden take someone else’s seat at this point, it would look a little suspect. I think I’m going to take your advice about telling her to record the lectures. Thank you!
  17. Obnoxious Classmate

    One of the girls in my class is going through that and the person she picks up comes up with every excuse as to why she can’t contribute to gas. Good thing you got out of that
  18. PAX Vocabulary

    Hey guys! I made the decision to go to nursing school (ABSN) after seeing how nice and caring the nurses were to my mom when she was diagnosed with a serious illness a few months ago. I really appreciated that and I decided to pursue this career beca...
