  1. What makes a shoe a "nurse's shoe"?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Students

    My supplies list for school says I need a pair of white nurse's shoes. What makes a shoe a "nurse's shoe"? Anything white? White and sturdy? White and comfortable? Any particular brands? I don't like...

  2. How long are you clinical days?

    JeanettePNP replied to JHansen's topic in General Students

    I'm starting an accelerated BSN program in the summer. My first clinical is in L&D and it will be Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00-3:20. I don't know yet what I will be doing when I get

  3. Anyone volunteer at a hospital?

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

  5. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me Downstate was an easy decision. It's right in my neighborhood and the tuition is affordable. It has a solid reputation and grads should not have a hard time finding jobs. I don't know if...

  6. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So do you know some of the names of the books we'll be using? I'd prefer to shop around online and see if I can get them for a cheaper price. Did you buy any of your supplies? What color is the...

    JeanettePNP replied to 12345nurse54321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm also accepted in SUNY-Downstate! I checked the AHA website recommended by the school, and found a list of BLS courses in my area. There actually is one offered through Kings County, right...

  9. What makes a shoe a "nurse's shoe"?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I think my best bet is to go to a store that has a selection and try them on. I have a cheap pair of white sneakers from Payless--the label says they're leather but my feet always get sweaty in them....

  11. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did anyone do their shopping yet at the campus bookstore? I made an appointment for my physical and I think when I go to drop off my health forms I'll go to the store and buy everything on the list. I...

  12. Please tell me Pre-Reqs go quickly......

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

    It took me 2.5 years to get through pre-reqs. I only took one science class a semester to make it easier on my family. I was finally accepted into a nursing program for the summer. Yes, in retrospect...

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I do have kids. Six of them!!! The summer session does seem to be a killer. The good news though is that once you pass that it should be downhill coasting the rest of the way. My plan so far is...

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

    I'm in!! I was accepted into SUNY-Downstate for Summer '09. It seems so strange that I'm a real live nursing student now. It took me forever to get through pre-reqs because I wanted to take things...

  16. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    JeanettePNP replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  17. CLEP exam for Psychology...did anyone take it?

    JeanettePNP replied to k-t-did's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I CLEP'd a few pre-reqs--Anthropology and Sociology, and one English requirement. I didn't think about them being scored as C's (even though I scored well above passing). I don't think my school cares...

    JeanettePNP replied to k-t-did's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Given credit for A&P II , should I take the class????

    JeanettePNP replied to rntobe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am feeling a spark of hope... Someone from the school called me today and asked me to email them my fall grade report, since it wasn't included in the transcript. I guess that means that they're at...

  21. Pre-Nursing hospital jobs?

    JeanettePNP replied to bluechick112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work as a patient care volunteer. I help the patient care technician in washing and caring for patients. I go once a week. It doesn't answer your question about how to get a paying hospital job, but...
