    Wsmith16 replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, BSN! I am not so worried about the federal loan it's the darn private loans I've been reading horror stories on the net. Thanks, for the realistic view about the PRN jobs, it's not easy...

  5. TOURO College Nursing Program

    Wsmith16 replied to Triple A's's topic in New York Nursing

    I went to their open house a year and a half ago. It's a brand new nursing program & they only take a handful of students & they said they decide whether you are ready to take the NCLEX after...

  6. Molloy Accelerated Program Experiences

    Wsmith16 replied to ifoundnemo's topic in New York Nursing

    I personally didnt go there but know of someone who recently graduated. He basically told me their program is not really accelerated it can take up to two yrs or more to graduate. It's a tough school...

    Wsmith16 replied to Wsmith16's topic in New York Nursing

    Keep us posted. One of the main reasons I chose Cochran was because they offered an accelerated program which luckily I got into so I will be done with my RN degree within a yr and a half. (Keeping my...

  8. No consideration for gay patients

    Wsmith16 replied to eric2123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm gonna have to agree with Hopeful2009. Blacks, latino's, asians, gays/lesbians, overweight folks, skinny folks...everyone has issues. We can't make "special considerations" for every group. What...

  10. Dorothea Hopfer nursing school

    Wsmith16 replied to Wsmith16's topic in New York Nursing

    I choose Cochran because it had a better program due to its reputation in Westchester. Cochran is good but it's tough. Especailly Med-Surg. I really beieve that I will pass the NCLEX once I'm done....

    Wsmith16 replied to Wsmith16's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Tameika, I took the NET exam and I scored in 90th percentile. I didn't find the test questions to be difficult, it was the lack of time that was a problem. You have to rush through it. I chose to...

  13. Deciding between ASN or BSN

    Wsmith16 replied to Backflip's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a current ADN student with a bachelor's in a completely other field. I'd go with the BSN, since it's not such a huge difference in price. And you most likely will not go back to school...

    Wsmith16 replied to Natingale's topic in New York Nursing

    It's the toughest thing I have ever had to do. The first semester was a joke compared to this semester--Med Surg. Schedule is jam packed, always studying.There's tons of info to learn in a very short...

  17. what makes nursing courses challenging?

    Wsmith16 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Honestly you do not want a C in AP 1. A C + is transferrable for Molooy & Adelphi but they won't take a C. Aim at the very least for a C + with AP 1 then you will have to get an A or B in AP 2....

  18. what makes nursing courses challenging?

    Wsmith16 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    AP1 is a TOUGH course. I found it to be the toughest, especially when it came to memorizing the names of all the bones. Add to the fact that I had the worse professor at NCC. When the semester was...

  19. Desperate for A LPN or RN program

    Wsmith16 replied to lpnserria's topic in New York Nursing

    My gpa was a 2.3 for my BA & I am in nursing school as I type. Your best bet is too finish all your prereqs & get good grades on them which is what I did then apply to a school. I applied to a...

    Wsmith16 replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AP 1 killed med. I ended with a C plus. I would then put chem a close second. I just hated that

  24. Not Working During Nursing School ok??

    Wsmith16 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    I wouldn't worry too much. NS actually encourages their students to not work. I think employers are more intresred in you sucessfully passing teh NCLEX than whether or not you worked in NS. Good LUck...

  25. go to nursing school or not?

    Wsmith16 replied to jen1000's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should go into the nursing field if you have all these reservations. Just getting through nursing school is tough, you have to be completely dedicated to it 100% in order to do it....
