  1. SUNY-Downstate summer '09--Introduce yourselves please!

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    HI! Thanks for introducing yourself. All I have to go on is that June 1 is orientation. The acceptance package came with a curriculum and a tentative summer schedule, with the dates and times for...

  2. Annoyed!....When did accelerated BSN programs come about?

    JeanettePNP replied to JMP2004's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think that's a very weak argument. Not all bachelor's degrees are created the same... Just because you had what it takes to earn a bachelor's in psych or in art history or computer science, it does...

  3. Annoyed!....When did accelerated BSN programs come about?

    JeanettePNP replied to JMP2004's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My accelerated BSN program is 60 credits not including pre-reqs, and is completed in 15 months. Most ADN programs are also 60 credits and DO include pre-reqs like English, Psych, Math, Chem and...

  4. Hospital Volunteer Interview?

    JeanettePNP replied to freesia29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess every hospital is different, but when I did volunteering I could pick my own hours. I did have to commit to work a full shift though (six hours). I got a lunch break in between too. Officially...

  5. What is the name of the college you will be attending?

  6. How long are we expected to have this "hiring freez for new grads"?

    JeanettePNP replied to nina9's topic in General Students

    Really? There are jobs in Detroit? That area has been hardest hit by the recession.My parents live in Detroit and I grew up there, and I've always toyed with the idea of moving back there because...

  8. Anything negative to say about nursing?

    JeanettePNP replied to sarahlpnwannabe's topic in General Nursing

    I've been on this board for quite a while (3 years), from when I first started thinking about nursing. I've seen a wide range of comments and opinions here about nursing. Many people are happy with...

  9. Failed the NCLEX-RN with 75 Qs (and I feel ridiculously stupid)

    JeanettePNP replied to skim410's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All I can say is that your post is well written and you sound like an intelligent person to me. So you didn't fail because you are dumb. Some people are better at taking standardized tests than...

  10. For all pre-nursing students

    JeanettePNP replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is something I don't understand: there are threads and threads talking about the impaction in nursing schools, that there is a limit to how many students a school can accept and train. So how can...

  11. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    JeanettePNP replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I'm quite impressed with how you handled it. You had many excuses available to you not to get involved (I'm only a student; not my patient; her RN doesn't care so why should I) but you put the patient...

  12. For all pre-nursing students

    JeanettePNP replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am preparing to begin an accelerated BSN program in the summer. It took me 2.5 years to get to this point; I'm not backing down now!!! I am prepared to do what it takes to go through the program and...

  13. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

    JeanettePNP replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Funny you should mention pre-med students, because I took some pre-reqs together with the pre-med students and I led the class. Med school wasn't the right choice for me for a whole host of reasons,...

  15. How hard is Microbiology?

    JeanettePNP replied to Sophia Petrillo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like the instructors who demand a lot and expect high standards from their students. The professors who are easy on you and accept shoddy work are doing you no favors in the long run. My micro lab...

  16. SOS---911---HELP!! I'm not passing A&P II

    JeanettePNP replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest starting a new

  17. How hard is Microbiology?

    JeanettePNP replied to Sophia Petrillo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a lot to remember. There are the viruses, bacteria, protozoa and other parasites, the properties of each, the types of diseases they cause and how they're treated. Some basics of infection...

  18. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

    JeanettePNP replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    It doesn't bother me in the least. People are challenged by different things... I'm not in nursing just so other people can acknowledge what a hard training program I went through. If they don't get...

  21. Any good news from new grads in NYC?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies! I'd be happy to work in a Brooklyn hospital. I think an RN/BSN is a worthwhile degree to have because it opens up a lot of different doors. I suppose for now all I can do...

  22. New York City NYC CUNY Nursing School

    JeanettePNP replied to emily_manyin's topic in New York Nursing

    I am going to SUNY-Downstate. I took my science pre-reqs at Medgar Evers. The advantage of CUNY/SUNY is that you pay state tuition rates. And I think it's GOOD that the CUNY nursing schools weed out...

  23. Obstetrics-gynecology as first clinical?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Students

    My first clinical is in obstetrics-gynecology. I found that a little odd--isn't the first clinical usually in LTC? Doesn't obstetrics-gynecology require more advanced skills than a first semester...

  24. Anyone volunteer at a hospital?

    JeanettePNP replied to markuskristian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CNA course is 8 weeks, full days, and you have to pay for it too. I'm glad the hospital I volunteered in allowed me to do patient care by assisting a PCT, because I got excellent preparation for...

  25. Obstetrics-gynecology as first clinical?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Actually, having given birth to 6 children I'm glad we're starting in OB-GYN because this is an area I know something
