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 currently a Nursing student. I can't really see myse...

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 around to see what is their percentage of passing the N...

I quit my job to take a shot at this too. I've got 1 Federal Direct loan for cc tuition I've got a 2nd FDL to pay for my food And I've got a Home Equity loan to pay my mortgage. With a mortgage, my debt is piling up faster than if I had gone to a p...

Our female classmates are required to tie their hair upwards. No ponytails.

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 hospital.

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 search of the forum and reading through some of the...

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 done.

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 Canada.

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 CC is a GED. Once you get in, do well on your pre...

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. Even with a nice down, that should be over 3K of ho...

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 don't have nursing majors. I know Queens College has A...

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 than any ADN program in NYC. Too much competition...

Just attended orientation. So not everyone showed about. But there is a min of 10 in our class of 60.

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 your best bet. What's another year of loans. ...

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 is optional. There's also a picture Atlas that is...

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 off.

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 think.

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 cc.

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 A/A- in ap1 is pretty important. Are you taking a...

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 of 2 A&P courses. Looks like you already got...

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 that all requirements must be completed. I've bee...

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 difficult to get into. I'm not sure a degree from an onl...

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 Health Center that needs to give the ok. Thanks. W...

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 could be stuck with a semester taking a 1 credit ...

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), and got one on the sunday before classes started. ...
