CSI goes onto a Bachelor's too you know.

Don't even bother applying to CSI, you'll never get in. Best one in my opinion.

Whoa, I guess I'll be working at methodist!

Come to CSI!

CSI now has a 4 year program and even offers a masters.

I need it by September 15th.

Yes, it was made clear to me when I went up to visit the campus and met with my advisor. But before that, I didn't know about clinicals. I don't have my first clinical until August 30th.

From what I hear it depends on the hospital. And by state law they have to provide you with a break.

Salary here is very good. With a 2 year degree, I can make about 60k a year right after graduation.

Hunter isn't a bad choice either.

Downstate is def. the best way to go!

Thank you!

I heard that Staten Island University Hospital has tuition reimbursement as well. But I've also heard that nurses may get anywhere from 6-12 patients.

Why don't you move to some place like Staten Island? Apartments are cheap here, and the crime really isn't horrible at all. We have 3 bridges connecting to Jersey, one connecting to Brooklyn. We even have a ferry that can take you to Manhattan and loads of buses and a train to take you to that ferry. You can always park your car here, parking spaces are abundant. There are many catholic/private schools out here, and the public schools are up to par with the rest of the city. Groceries will never cost you that much, we have a lot of nice places like Pathmark/ShopRite, even Costco.

Thank you, this is a tremendous amount of help!

Well that $1300 is for the whole year. None of it is coming out of my pocket, all financial aid. I don't have to pay it back until graduation. And thats the cost of all books new, I'm hoping to get used and knock the price down to around 950.

Wow, I wish I could rent. $1300 here.

Currently, my school only has a AAS program. But they are implementing a 4 year degree, and I have heard it's through distance learning. Do you guys reccommend this? How does it work? Can I have a job and do this at the same time? Do employers look down upon online/distance learning degrees as opposed to actual degrees from campuses? Does it say you achieved the degree through distance learning on the actual degree?

Chemistry isn't even in my RN curriculum!!!

LOL! I know that's what I have to do. I'm in nursing school right now. But you don't have to have any special qualifications, classes, or certifications?

i figured we could carpool but the problem is that how are we supposed to know who is at what facility? all the girls will be scrambling around finding someone and i fear i will be left to fend for myself

clinicals aren't on campus. it's the responsibility of the student to get transportation from the campus at 7am to the hospital we'll be working at.

If you live somewhere in the city, you can get anywhere in the city within an hour. So you should check schools in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and the Bronx.

Thanks for letting me know. I have heard that the professors are very harsh on the students.

How do you get into this kind of nursing? This is something I would hope to fufill.
