  2. Taking pre-requisite classes vs CLEP test

    JeanettePNP replied to Copperismydog's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, the tests are multiple choice, except for English which requires a writing sample, I think. I found the sociology CLEP to be extremely easy. I read one Cliff-notes type sociology text and passed...

  3. Taking pre-requisite classes vs CLEP test

    JeanettePNP replied to Copperismydog's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I CLEP'd Sociology and History of Art (well, that's not a CLEP, it's DANTES). For me that was fine as I only wanted to knock the requirement out of the way and had no burning desire to delve further...

    JeanettePNP replied to truenurse's topic in New York Nursing

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the heads-up, Layna. I kinda suspected that there wasn't anything they could do for me that I couldn't do for myself (I dont' put much stock in these city agencies) but thought it might be...

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, I was at the job fair. Those lines were insane! I only wish the media was there to cover this fair so we can finally put to rest the myth about the nursing shortage. Seeing is believing, and...

    JeanettePNP replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What help do you need? It sounds like you passed. Also, even if the state is slow to post your license # (NY was ridiculously slow too) you should get a letter in the mail within 3-4 days telling you...

  16. Career future for the home health nurse

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Home Health

    Hi, I'm a new nurse looking into home care opportunities, only because that's the only thing in my area that's rolling out the red carpet for new grads. I never really thought of home care as an area...

  18. To volunteer or not ?

    JeanettePNP replied to hpfulRN-NJ's topic in New York Nursing

    Volunteering definitely can't hurt... however, don't look at it as a ticket to a definite job in the future. It's a good thing to do but don't pin a lot of hopes on getting hired in that particular...

  19. NYU, SUNY Downstate

    JeanettePNP replied to kdrose01's topic in New York Nursing

    The problem is not so much knowing what to study for exams. It's that test questions can be very ambiguous and not very well-written. There could be strong rationales for one of two choices and it's...

    How do you address a cover letter if you're applying to an online job posting and don't know the name of the recruiter? The listing of recruiters that someone posted was VERY helpful but only covers a...

    JeanettePNP replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    I think the client's comfort should come before the nurse's, and the light shoudlnt' have to stay on all night for the nurse's benefit. But wasn't there a room (or hallway) where you could sit? Or did...
