    AccelCNL replied to need2chill's topic in New York Nursing

    If you want to you can still apply there ...the NCLEX score just did not sit well with me. I am applying to LIU-Brooklyn, College of Mt. St. Vincent, College of New Rochelle for the Fall 2010...

    NYIT Nursing Students/Grads?

    AccelCNL replied to need2chill's topic in New York Nursing

    Transfer or not to transfer?

    AccelCNL replied to arterym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't like loans either but I am in the SEEK program at Lehman. If I get into LIU I will be alble to enter their HEOP program. Those program tend to be a little bit more generous with financial aid....

    Transfer or not to transfer?

    AccelCNL replied to arterym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am assuming that you mean the NLN exam not the NCLEX. I also attend Lehman ( just finished doing some reading for APII). If I were you I would apply to other places just to have backup plans....

    Low GPA

    AccelCNL replied to laurenbeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you should try out of state schools. There are plenty of programs over here in NY ( well at the private schools) that focus mainly on the sciences and you GPA would be

    ADN vs BSN

    AccelCNL replied to Lynell81's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends. I know in the area I live (NYC) many hospitals prefer the BSN prepared nurse. In fact there are a few that only hire BSN prepared nurses for new grad positions. However, there are...

    Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

    AccelCNL replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am . I ha planned on going to an ABSN program next year after graduation but there is the possibility I can get into a program this fall-- and still get financial aid because I won't have a BA yet....

    NY & NJ to become BSN only?

    AccelCNL replied to guiltysins's topic in New York Nursing

    This idea had been said a million times in year past however now would really be the worst time to do it. Most people used the hospitals tuition remission as the board to go back to school. With the...

    With all these nursing students, do you see the job market drying up?

    AccelCNL replied to Faro's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There really is a nursing shortage.....sadly it only exists on paper. It is hospitals that are not hiring. Overtime and higher patient-to nurse ratio (depending on the unit) are seen as a fix......

    Are Accelerated BSN programs too fast to be successful

    AccelCNL replied to bethca's topic in General Students

    AccelCNL replied to ChineseLantern's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Westchester and I have heard not to great things about Pace. However, I think that program with HHC was only funded for three years and I am not sure if they are still doing it. UPENN has a...

    What are my chances?

    AccelCNL replied to raverm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the programs you are trying to enter. The admissions game is a funny business. There are some programs that are not as competitive as others. Do you have any place in

    AccelCNL replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    To answer the above quote the issue is that no one is hiring. Concerning my new grad friends ( a few who came from NYU, one from UPENN, and some from College of Mt. St. Vincent) where you get hired...

    AccelCNL replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    To be honest with you I have friends right now with an NYU BSN degree looking for a new grad nurse job a year after graduation. A name does not always equate with a job. I am presently a student at...

    LIU is a two year program but ....as long as you have a 2.75 in your sciences and you overall GPA they will accept you. It is real expensive hence it is a last option. I am a student presently at...
