    Lenox Hill Hosp

    I did my senior practicum there and honestly, both of my preceptors said to NOT apply there until I gain some experience. Their new grad training program is all of 2 weeks. And believe me, your...
  3. I'm sorry, I don't even know what that is. I didn't have to do that. PM me if you have anymore questions about Adelphi, I'll be happy to answer what I
  4. If a few of nurses wanted to get together and start a union in a "right to work" state, how would they go about it? I know it's possible. Any information would be

    I'm curious about something

    Thank you, appreciate your information:) Never thought to contact the CNA about unionizing outside of

    I'm curious about something

    psychrn03, thank you. I am thinking more along the lines of getting a union up and running in a state that has no voice. Unlike my state, California. That information you've provided is important....

    about CO nursing

    I wonder if I can help you from over here? I mean, I have enough time on my hands to do it right now. Do you know where we would start? I know a handful of nurses over in Colorado Springs and I...

    about CO nursing

    This is why I would never come home to stay and work. I told my parents if anything happened to one of them, the other will come here to live. If I could, I would be the nurse to stand up and start...

    Advice for NCLEX

    Bottom line is if you do 3000 NCLEX questions either in a book or on CD (recommend, since the exam is computerized), you will do enough to understand the strategy and the rationale and you will pass...
  10. Yes, I had an associates and also another bachelor's. I don't remember that. But, it makes
  11. Eh.. Not bad. I didn't have to work through nursing school. So for me, it was easy. Some of my best friends through school worked and they all graduated with high marks. It's didn't find it to be...
  12. I don't know how good of an RN I am. I've only been working less than 6 months. I'm very green. Anyhow, thank you and you're
  13. I know they were re-vamping the prerequisites and the program requirements which was going to take effect AFTER I graduated which was this past May. I had everything done. I had my chemistry...

    New Grads in New york.....

    I lived in Astoria and in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Personally, I paid more money in Brooklyn than I did in Astoria and I had a nicer place. Astoria is a very Greek neighborhood with amazing food. But,...

    Help with the Accelerated BSN! Many thanks

    Adelphi University has an accelerated nursing program and it runs you 15months. I did the program and
  16. It IS 15 months! That other number you're getting is the complete without your prerequisites finished. I graduated from Adelphi's ASAP program and it is 15 months:) Good
  17. I wouldn't say you need to go to the city for experience. I had a GREAT experience and I LOVED it, at: The hospice Inn at Huntington on LI. It's not like every hospice experience though. It was...
  18. I see. Thanks for the
  19. That's interesting. That's not what I've been told. I've been told it's criteria for a hospital to become magnet.
  20. The nursing shortage Is real. But, what about the hospitals who are applying for magnet status? In order to do that, one of the criteria is that all of their working RN's, must hold a BSN. Or...

    Adelphi University A.S.S program?

    Just to clarify things here...I graduated from Adelphi and there is NO ADN program. They have the bridge program, but they are a university, not a community college or hospital. If you go to their...
  22. You're going to miss the spring deadline. It's November 1 for spring and March 1 for fall. Although Adelphi operates on a "rolling admission" status, these dates above are their deadlines for...
  23. I think you'll be fine. Do well on the NET and you should be fine. I know they've changed their prerequisites for the program. At least they were in the process of doing so a year ago. You might...

    New Grads in New york.....

    You make more if you are paid per hour. You can times your hourly by 52 weeks. Salary is
  25. UKstudent is correct. You only have to wait for 45 days and to get yourself trained in another position in a hospital is NOT going to benefit you in any way. They're going to know you failed the...
