  1. RN to Rad Tech options

    Doofy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I did a search, and saw a few threads on Rad Techs that went back to school to become an RN. Maybe I am using the wrong search words, but I was wondering if anyone went from RN to Rad Tech. I'm...

  2. NYU or Stony Brook's Accelerated Program?

    Doofy replied to Brooklyn84's topic in New York Nursing

    Stern School of business is rather well known if you are going for a MBA. Any major outside of business and finance, there's no leg up when applying for a job. Go for SBU. Maybe you can look...

  5. Any internship available?????

    Doofy replied to doggybour's topic in New York Nursing

    externships usually require at least 1 semester medsurg clinical experience in school. If you are not in any nursing programs yet, your best bet is to do some volunteer work for your local

  6. Does anyone know?

    Doofy replied to doggybour's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think anyone was "lecturing" on grammar. The poster didn't get many responses. Two of the major reasons is because the question being asked is repetitive and can be answered using a simple...

  7. NY nursing 101

    Doofy replied to kkaatt's topic in New York Nursing

    You're allowed to take the nclex on a tourist visa? I have classmates on a student visa that are afraid they can't register for the nclex after classes are

  8. U.S. Citizen staying in Canada and working in Buffalo?

    Doofy replied to NewYorkRN2B's topic in New York Nursing

    When I went to Niagara Falls last summer, they checked my passport when entering the US. They didn't check anything when I was going to

  9. CUNY 2007 Fall Nursing students...Help!!! ANY1

    Doofy replied to soon2bnycmhnp's topic in New York Nursing

    If you are applying to a community college for pre clinicals, I doubt it would be too late. QCC was still accepting new students upto 1 week before classes start. I think the only requirement for a...

  10. How much do NY nurses make?

    Doofy replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately, nyc real estate isn't going to be doubling again any time soon. :) An 800sq/ft apt in a decent area in Queens will cost you anywhere from 250K for a coop to 400+K for a nice condo....

  11. nursing school Pre-Reqs???

    Doofy replied to lullaby's topic in New York Nursing

    Due to the limited seats to Nursing programs at CUNYs, most schools that offer the major will not have easy prereqs. It's the easiest way of weeding out students. You should look into CUNY's that...

  12. Advice on Applying to Nursing Programs in NY

    Doofy replied to chikichiki17's topic in New York Nursing

    Schools have been accepting apps for Fall '07 since Oct/Nov. When you mention BA program, do you mean a BSN program? If so, I think its actually easier to get into a BSN program at a private school...

  13. How many guys in your class?

    Doofy replied to Scrubz's topic in Male Nursing Students

  14. ASN vs. BSN

    Doofy replied to Jennyfur1234's topic in New York Nursing

    I've heard of a few hospitals (mostly in the city) that require a BSN. But I heard that in different threads on this forum. Not first hand experience. If you have to work, than the ADN is probably...

  15. Anyone starting pre-clinical @ QCC in January?

    Doofy replied to NurseChapel's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry, I have no experience with this professor. Never really heard of any of my current classmates taking him either. The only required book is the Holes Textbook. The Study Guide and Cliff Notes...

  16. Anybody from Laguardia college..

    Doofy replied to Roxy625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm assuming you are talking about LaGuardia cc. Basically, all CUNY's get a LOT of applicants into their clinical program every year. So don't slack

  17. Lpn or 2 year rn

    Doofy replied to nystu's topic in New York Nursing

    I think it's different for each school. For QCC, it'll take you at least 1 year if starting from scratch. There are ADN programs that start on clinical right away. Like SVCMC-Queens I

  18. Lpn or 2 year rn

    Doofy replied to nystu's topic in New York Nursing

    If you already know your end goal is to be an rn than whichever is quickest for you. If that fails, than go for your backup plan. I went for a rn program at my local

  19. Anyone starting pre-clinical @ QCC in January?

    Doofy replied to NurseChapel's topic in New York Nursing

    congrats. I just went to take a look to see who your professor would be, but it doesn't say. Also looks like the lab class is full already. Assuming I'm looking at the right course code. 2177. An...

  20. Empire State, Medgar Evers, Suny Downstate

    Doofy replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter is required to accept A&P credit from any CUNY. CUNY policy. But one course of Anatomy + a separate course of Physiology, will not be accepted by most (maybe all) nursing programs in lieu...

  21. I can't be a nurse?

    Doofy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finally finished my prereqs and got accepted to the clinical portion. I was reading through the requirements before I can start, and one of them is the Hep B vaccine. And in bold prints, it states...

  22. Empire State, Medgar Evers, Suny Downstate

    Doofy replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    By finishing a Bachelors in another subject, you qualify for accelrated BSN programs. It makes a lot of sense for people with a lot of college credits. Downstate is a very good school that is...

  23. I can't be a nurse?

    Doofy replied to Doofy's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like such an idiot. I was sweating over this for a few days. And everything you guys said was true. There is a declination form available and I could pay to run a titer. And it is the...

  24. RN Evening Program in NYC

    Doofy replied to Carmelsyn's topic in New York Nursing

    QCC's evening nursing program only starts in the Fall. And they require you to finish all your science prereqs (not just A&P1) before starting the program. Something to keep in mind because you...

  25. Anyone starting pre-clinical @ QCC in January?

    Doofy replied to NurseChapel's topic in New York Nursing

    As of right now, all A&P1 classes are full. You can check their availability online. I was in the same boat as all of you this past Jan. But I kept on checking for open seats (3 times a day),...
