  2. List of Nurse Recruiters in all 50 states

    Thank you so much for posting! I'm going to share this with my
  3. I wouldn't recommend taking any science classes online because most programs require labs and online labs aren't really a substitute. I took other pre-reqs online (like English, Statistics and...
  4. taking CA NCLEX, is it harder?

    I don't think such a magic point really exists though, because we all have strengths and weaknesses in different areas. So, if my weakness is in Pharm, I might be getting some easy questions wrong,...
  5. Black male nurses

    There was one black male student in my class of 60. In every clinical rotation though I encountered at least 1 or 2 black males on
  6. Futile care

    I think people need to have a better understanding of what the dying process looks like. They need to know that medical science can only do so much to keep nature at bay. Once a person is actually...
  7. I wouldn't call posts from last year's class "really old and outdated." How much do you think they changed in 12
  8. Where are the "normal" births?

    Can you give more information about the demographics of the birthing population? Are they young/teenaged moms? How educated are they about pregnancy, labor and delivery? How prepared are they for...
  9. Nursing student freeze?

    Being that many hospitals now have hiring freezes and new grad freezes, maybe schools should also have student freezes. Like, freeze enrollment for a semester or two. Then when the job market picks...
  10. Why are there no new grad jobs?

    There isn't really any magic ticket that will guarantee you a job. Your best bet is to find work in a hospital now, as a CNA or tech. This way you'll get patient care experience, know hospital...
  11. Nursing student freeze?

    That's very interesting. Although, they're probably not suspending the program itself. They just have a huge backlog of applicants. Also, to do nursing in Hunter you first have to enroll as an...
  12. Working "below your license"

    It does depend on the state and facility. Many places will not allow you to work below your license for liability reasons. Basically, if something goes wrong and you have the knowledge and...
  13. when do you take the NCLEX?

    It took 3 weeks from graduation until I got the ATT. As soon as I got it I went to the Pearsonvue website and scheduled the NCLEX for the earliest possible appointment--which was the next day. I just...
  14. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    It took me 4 years to get my BSN, pre-reqs + accelerated nursing program. Fall 2006: English I Cell Biology Political Science (not a requirement for nursing, but requirement for general bachelor's)...
  15. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    Can you post the list of required courses? No way should it take 3 years just to do pre-reqs. It took me 4 semesters to complete pre-reqs, only because I had to take them in
  16. not looking "put together"

    I thought the same of one of the patients when I was doing psych rotation. She was beautiful and always looked well-dressed and put together... but borderline with multiple suicide
  17. nursing shortage?

    And now there's no shortage of new grads willing to do even that to get experience... but hospitals in their wisdom have decided that hiring new grads isn't worth their bother. They think in 10 years...
  18. From the pre-nursing board there were a number of us waiting to hear from Downstate, and by now quite a few have been accepted! So please, introduce yourselves here in the Nursing Student forum, and...

    Took the test Tuesday, got the good popup, still waiting for my license to show up on the BON. Why is New York State so
  20. NY Nclex passers

    What does the license look like? Is it like a driver's
  21. What exactly is the complaint? That nurse shootings don't make the news? That nurses get attacked all the time and nobody cares? How frequently are there nurse shootings in relation to doctor...
  22. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    I found A&P I to be easier than A&P II. The first half of the semester was a review of basic chemistry and cell biology--which were both prereqs to A&P, so I don't know why they were even...
  23. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Yeah, I also got lots of those "which one needs follow up"? The strange thing is that there were so many that I just blindly guessed, but still the computer shut off at 75 and I got the good popup. I...
  24. IME the more abrasive nurses are the ones who don't advance. And gripe and complain why they're not
  25. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    If it makes you feel better, some people get the full spread not because of how they're doing but just because of some random experimental bs. By the way I think 2.5 hours to answer 265 questions is...
