1. RN to BSN at Excelsior

   AgataRN replied to marysmom1216's topic in Excelsior

   I just started the program and I received plenty of financial aid. Whatever else they don't give you a grant for, you may be eligible for a govt subsidized loan (very low interest rate that does not accrue while you are taking atleast half time[6] cr...

2. job fair

   AgataRN replied to guitarhero's topic in New York

   I went. It was a waste of time. I'm a new grad, so you can imagine how that was. One of the recruiters, upon seeing that I graduated in June, had the nerve to ask what have I been doing all these months. Huh? How about studying for (and taking) the N...

4. salary for adn straight out of school

   AgataRN replied to Quindalle's topic in New York

   New grad ADNs are having a very hard time finding work nowadays. I'm one of them. All I see is minimum experience of so and so years required. It's pretty frustrating. This is the wrong time to graduate from nursing school. Check out this sticky thr...

5. Eww white uniforms??

   AgataRN replied to jla623's topic in General Students

   We have to wear white scrubs, but over that this U-G-L-Y dark blue apron/smock that makes you think the last thing we are is nurses. In one of the hospitals I did my clinicals in, the RNs all have to wear white scrubs only. I don't mind, it's actuall...

6. No more AWFUL uniform!

   AgataRN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

   I was thinking that too - unfortunately in my clinical site, the RNs are wearing all-white, lol. Hopefully I'll be able to escape that once I graduate. We (students) wear all-white with those ugly navy blue "aprons". They are horrid, we look like pre...

7. Pregnancies & Nursing School

   AgataRN replied to rockmysocks's topic in General Students

   In my school the professors support anybody's decision to have a baby during nursing school, and will work with them so they will be able to stay in the program. In fact, on our last day of lecture we had a small baby shower in class for a student wh...

9. skills videos

   AgataRN replied to GratefulHeart's topic in General Students

   A classmate of mine told me about this one site. It has 80 skills videos. I haven't looked too deeply into it yet, but it sounds good. http://deptets.fvtc.edu/nursing/ Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

    No he did not just waste half of our lecture time arguing with the class that a high pH means acidic....

11. Stethoscope troubles...

    AgataRN replied to ErinRena's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have a Littman Leightweight II SE. It's very light and I can hear pretty well with it. I'm very satisfied with it (I'm just finishing up fundamentals). It's about 40-50$, depends where you buy it. A few other students in my class use that one too.

12. Most RN's first borns?

    AgataRN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    2nd born with an alcoholic father. The 1st born, my sister, is too selfish to be a nurse.

13. What nursing school did or are you attending?

    AgataRN replied to Ari RN's topic in New York

    Hey guys, I'm new here. I'm currently attending LaGuardia Community College, but I'm just taking basic courses for now. I'm wondering, what's a good RN to BSN program anywhere but Manhattan and Staten Island? Is it worth getting an associates and lat...
