  1. Days for New Grads

    Lilluv117 replied to hpcat's topic in New York Nursing

    My cousin started at St. Francis Hospital in Long Island as a new grad last summer (summer 2006) and she started with a day position. She graduated from Adelphi in May '06. I think it is possible. :)...

  2. Job Placement....

    Lilluv117 replied to doggybour's topic in New York Nursing

    You can be a PCA (Patient Care Assistant) or a PCT (Patient Care Technician)... Some hospitals call them nurse extenders (St. Francis Hosp. in Roslyn, NY), and you could also do CNA (certified nurse...

  3. Anyone know what an LPN's salary on Long Island Is?

    Lilluv117 replied to Mydream72's topic in New York Nursing

    I think LPN's make around $20/hr in NY - not 100% sure though - but most hospitals aren't using LPNs anymore in Long Island... they have been phasing them out. They're using RNs and CNAs now. LPNs...

    Lilluv117 replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, I'm sorry if I offended you. I am simply stating an opinion, which is what a public forum is for... And I can agree to disagree. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion as me and not...

  7. Returning B.S. Graduated -Conflicted on whether to get RN A.A.S or BSN

    Lilluv117 replied to Chrissy12's topic in New York Nursing

    I would recommend going for your ASN if money is an issue (I too cannot afford $60K in tuition and I have no desire to have to pay a rediculous amount in loans after I get my degree). Most hospitals...

  8. Anyone attend LIU, Adelphi,Molloy or NYU's Nursing program?

    Lilluv117 replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in New York Nursing

    I went to LIU (the Brooklyn Campus) and I was in the nursing program and it was horrible! It has one of the worst track records for nurses passing the NCLEX and one of the professors there warned me...

  10. Did anyone attend the RN program at NCCC?

    Lilluv117 replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    Being that I'm not interested in working in NYC, I don't have much info on this. I'm from the Queens area and I will be looking to work either in Queens or Nassau County, LI. But just to answer your...

  11. Did anyone attend the RN program at NCCC?

    Lilluv117 replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    Nobody said she wouldn't continue her education. I personally am offended by your posts. I am currently attending Nassau Community College for my nursing degree and I can tell you that the nurses...

  12. Scared To Start Nursing School

    Lilluv117 replied to Mustang Sally's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Like a lot of others said, it will be hard and will become your life for the duration of the program but it is do-able. It is not impossible if you really dedicate yourself. Nursing school is like...

  13. SUNY Farmingdale

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    I knew it had to be a rumor... It sounded too far out there. LOL We are at the hospital for 12 hours total on our clinical days... 5pm-11pm... But we do pre and post conference so we usually end up on...

  14. Math

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, and the course I'd recommend for the nursing program is NOT statistics but a good algebra course instead (some schools require statistics but it doesn't make sense to me when calculation of dosage...

  15. Math

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To add to what kinntj said, you should try and get the math now because when you get into the nursing program there is a lot of math when it comes to the medications and I have seen people get kicked...

  16. SUNY Farmingdale

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi! I am attending NCC and it is beyond HARD!!! I had a horrible professor for fundamentals and thank God that I have a GREAT professor for Med Surg right now. I heard that the other programs in the...

  17. Math

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tracy, I think you should definitely take a math course and try to get an A because that is probably what is holding you back from getting into the program. I'm not sure how it works but try to find...

    Lilluv117 replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    It's the same... It's not harder to get a job with an AAS... And starting salary is around $65K with an AAS... it's about $1500 more with a BSN - The difference is when you want to get a job in a...

  21. Who is applying for the Spring 2007 semester?

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey nursetracy... sorry to hear about getting rejected. It's ok though, it's a tough program to get into. My advice is to finish up ALL the non nursing courses you're going to need because once you...

  22. RN Evening Program in NYC

    Lilluv117 replied to Carmelsyn's topic in New York Nursing

    I know LIU in Bklyn has an evening program but it's not very good... I actually went there and transferred out because it sucked. Now I'm at Nassau Community College's evening program. They have an...

  23. Wait list at Nassau Community

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    That's strange because I remember in the Nursing Information Session they said that you could call and find out what number you are in line for the wait list. Maybe you could try calling another...

  24. Wait list at Nassau Community

    Lilluv117 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    The nursing staff told us at the orientation that if you call them they will tell you what place you are on the wait list. Give it a try. Call the nursing office.

    Lilluv117 replied to Lilluv117's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Syin, They spoke about the preps course at registration. They said it was for minority students to help them succeed in the nursing program but I think anyone can attend if you want to. So far...
