Again you can have all that and be a terrible teacher. I’m not discounting education, it’s important but you can have all the education in the world and be a terrible teacher. Nursing is actually one of the professions where there is HUGE variability. All MSNs aren’t equal. All BSNs aren’t equal. I personally know nurses who have graduated from accredited online (not for profit) MSN programs who I would not trust with my own family members.

Why were you horrified? An ADN with 15+ years of experience might be able to teach circles around MSN teacher? The letters after your name don’t make you good at your job.

Don’t do a program for CNA in NY most hospitals will hire you as a “CNA” position without the Cert and train you. It will undoubtedly help you become a better nurse. Just being in the environment seeing how things work helped me tremendously when I got my first RN position. You can also mentally apply the nursing theory your learned from class. You see the meds hanging, you get report from the nurse, you see the patient and you can get a great real life clinical experience of what it is like dealing with this patients while not having the full RN responsibility right away. there are many hospitals what hire Nurse assistant/CNA as perdeim, I would suggest starting there as you can basically work “at will”. Basically most hospitals train their assistants to the same level as CNA (some more with covid swabbing and blood draws). Don’t work as a assistant at a nursing home or rehab completely different. the hospital I work in has 12 hour shifts and pays 20-23 an hour +4$ differential for new assistants full time is 3 days a week.

checked the dosage and calcs nursing class for summer, looks like it is only available as an online course.

got the email today, got in! Congrats to everyone else who got in as well. Looks like ill be taking dosage calcs this summer, rather cram it in now so I can focus on the Other stuff during the fall.

still haven't heard anything. Its acceptance only sent via email or do they also send it via traditional mail?

Just took the TEAS for WCC got a 93%, used the ati book, momentrix and listened to the momentrix videos while i worked out. What helped me the most was taking as many tests as possible 2 weeks leading to the exam.especially the ATI A/B ones, really got a feel for how they asked questions. the proctor told us that you will not be informed of anything until may 1st. Do you have to apply after they tell you if you qualified or is taking the test and going through that entire process basically the application
