I als work nights extremely difficult at times but I love my night staff we all get along and I know that's hard to come by. I would never switch to days. Anyway I do have a nine year and when I work I send her to my mother in law because my fiance...

Im happy for you NYDreamer and thats all that counts. Congrats to us BklynMamaRN 07. Wishing you all the best in your Nursing Career

Like an earlier post stated it all boils down to personal opinion. I agree they had their issues in the past. I dont know exactly what it was because I have heard so many things flying around. LIU has revamped their whole nursing program and no li...

My school does the same thing. Hesi is the final exam for all the main classes Med-surg, L&D/Peds. We also had to take it for advance Med-Surg. Yes it was worth 30% of the grade but if we passed the class although we failed the Hesi we would n...

I just graduated from LIU and I have no idea what you are talking about. I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I have to disagree. I absolutely loved the professors they were nurturing and offered much guidance. I was not an A stud...

Hello Im 28 years old and I also have a child and just graduated with my BSN in May. I hardly work because nursing school was so difficult and I also had to take care of my daughter. I can say those was the most difficult days of my life. There w...

I agree with FutureRN19. I do not believe there is a way for them to find out if you passed or failed but Im pretty sure there is not. From what I understand you can take that exam plenty of times and no one would ever know as far as hospitals or co...

Congratulations to your son, I also just found out I passed last week. 85 questions so extemely happy

Im so glad many of ous can relate to one another. I have been there with my fair share of cut-off notices, reposition threats and it is miserable. I think it was by Gods grace alone that we were able to get through nursing school with all the stress ...

I notice that most hospitals have a waiting list for an apartment. Does anyone know how ong the list is generally and how long one would have to wait. Wow 8 months is awhile JennaRN1006. Hang in there Im sure it will come through. Also do the hospita...

Thanks Mllogy for the encouragement. I had a interview with NYP-Columbia the Nurse Manager stated she was interested in me but she needed me to have a license first. What I have notice about MSKCC is that they usually pull there new grads from the ...

I knew that MSKCC was a great hospital but I surely did not know that they offered subsidize housing. Wow that is great and I cant believe they pay half of the cost. I know NYU also offers housing at a reduce rate but they definitely dont pay half. ...

JennaRN1006 I have just pm you. Im also glad everything worked out for you I hope I am as lucky as you.

Does anyone know if they hire graduate nurses without having taking there NCLEX. I guess the term is hiring with a permit. I graduate in may would love to work there but I need to start right away I need money really bad at this point. Also if t...

Thanx so much gt4everpn for this info. I have been looking for open houses for the past month since graduating. I will be attending this open house. I just wanted to know if anyone has any info about this hospital as far atmosphere? pay? orientati...

Just graduated on May 10, 2007 from LIU Brooklyn Campus.:balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: . So happy and excited and also relieved. Have not even picked up the nclex review books yet. Hopeful to start Kaplan nex week

well the big day has finally arrived!!!! Graduation is May 10, 2007. I have definitely struggled. I didnt know how I would pay rent, car note or College but its over. So excited to go from making about 8,000 to 72,000 (live in NY). Im glad I read...

Thanks Moonberry, I will apply as soon as possible r u considering working there if they hire u. I love the area and its really convient for me although people have informed me be prepared to work nights there as a new grad

Hello Gerry, do u know how much new grads are making now at St.lukes R I am considering working there. Also do they allow students to work off of a permit until they take NCLEX, I really like that they have a nursing union.

Hey, there is a Georgia thread just like this one. There is tons of info up there, I am also considering ATL but I will be graduating in May. The salary is not great but I guess everything is relative. I heard from the thread peidmont hospital wa...

Im sorry your right. Have u ever heard of a bridge program for LPN's usually they are for nurses. I know an LPN that attends LIU and she has been an LPN for at least 15 years. You may have to start from the beginning.

Try LIU the brooklyn campus. They have an bridge program, there admission process is not difficult by no means. They are just a little to expensive but hopefully Ill be out of there by May, 2007

not at all in fact some areas are very up and coming. I can say try to stay away from east new york and certain parts of bedford stuyvesant but all and all brooklyn is nice to live. The prices are increasing though I guess everyone has found out th...

:spin: Hi Everyone, IM not from GA but I cant wait to move there after I finish my MA but Im still trying to get through my BSN first, Ill be graduating in May finally:balloons: . Im not sure what I should pursue CNS or NP. I just NP will have ...
