  2. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    If you want to know the good news, here it is. Since it's accelerated and state funded, you can get your nursing license in a relatively short time with relatively little debt. Although it's not a top...

  7. Chemistry Question

    JeanettePNP replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the other posters said, don't start memorizing anything until you start class and you know what your instructor is focusing on. But you should get straight what is a mole and what is avogadro's...

    JeanettePNP replied to strenght1981's topic in New York Nursing

    I had to buy the lab book; that is specifically for medgar. But the special chem book is just an abridged version of the regular textbook. Look up the title and the author's name, and order the...

    JeanettePNP replied to strenght1981's topic in New York Nursing

    It's on Bedford, a little storefront across the main building. Although I'd recommend shopping online for your textbooks before paying the bookstore

  10. 700 pages of reading, per week, for one class

    JeanettePNP replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I don't understand how any one class can have 700 pages per week. How many weeks is the class? Let's say the average textbook is 1200 pages--is this a two week class? Do you have 4 textbooks for the...

  12. anyone going to Medgar this spring?

    JeanettePNP replied to omoolu's topic in New York Nursing

    I chose not to because I have kids and didn't want to be away from home too many days a week (I was taking online classes at the same time). A lot of my classmates were taking 2-3 pre-reqs at the same...

  13. anyone going to Medgar this spring?

    JeanettePNP replied to omoolu's topic in New York Nursing

    For Downstate you need to take the NET. I found it to be a very simple test. It's basic arithmetic, grammar and reading

  14. CLEP Natural Sciences & Humanities

    JeanettePNP replied to R0xyg4l's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I CLEPd humanities and A&I literature. The problem was that my school considered the humanities credits to overlap with other credits so they only awarded me 2 credits for the test. Find out...

    JeanettePNP replied to omoolu's topic in New York Nursing

    lipeach--I PM'd you. I did not take the nursing exam because I had no intention of attending the nursing program at Medgar--I just took science pre-reqs there. As far as my transfer experince to...

  16. OB/GYN or a CNM?? HELP!!

    JeanettePNP replied to OBluv19's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Personally if I were going the MD route it wouldn't be for OB/GYN... it's one of the worst specialties to be in, due to the high malpractice. I woudln't want some lawyer to be able to come after me...

  17. oh so now we PAY to do residency to get a job?!?! seriously?

    JeanettePNP replied to bymysoultosqueezeRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  20. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    JeanettePNP replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I only know that for my last homebirth, my CNM (private practice) charged insurance $9,500 and was reimbursed $4000. She probably does about 5 births a month, so do the math. Her overhead is low...

    JeanettePNP replied to Mmae's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is not as bad as other people are making out. Yes, you do need to be organized and manage your time well, but it's doable. As far as your GPA, I need to echo what others have said--even...

    JeanettePNP replied to kdrose01's topic in New York Nursing

    That reminds me of the time I thought of applying to Hunter... I called to get some kind of idea of what days/times their clinicals were. I was told that there would be NO accommodation of anyone's...

  25. Help! Can't afford NYU, so need to apply elsewhere.

    JeanettePNP replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    If you want to try for Downstate, see if you can CLEP some of the pre-reqs. They will accept CLEP for just about everything except the science pre-reqs. All you need to do is read a textbook or two...
