  1. Potential fallout of refusing additional pts

    Wsmith16 replied to PurrRN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that the answer to the OP's question is that there is nothing we can do about it. If we say no, than that is abandonment. Unbelievable. I guess the only thing we can do is try Leslie's...

  2. Fundamentals V/S Med-Surg

    Wsmith16 replied to KPolk RN2B's topic in General Students

    I really don't know how to put it into words. Med-Surg is a whole different ballgame. Fundamentals was way easier the concepts are easier to grasp. The things we learned in fundamentals we can say...

  3. To NCC students: microbiology or medical microbiology?

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

    I took Microbiology and it was transferrable too many schools. Most schools want Microbiolgy--they hardly request medical micro. Best bet is too call the

  12. Private nursing schools NYC area

    Wsmith16 replied to Lurdes777's topic in New York Nursing

    Private schools cost more than CUNY/SUNY but they take more applicants then Suny/Cuny. SUNY/CUNY schools take less applicants and are way cheaper. Both of these private & public will have no...

  14. to second degree nursing students/applicants

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

    Each school has diff requirements. You'll have to ask the school itself which pre-reqs they desire. Generally whatever pre-reqs they requested those are the ones they accept. Best bet is to call the...

  15. Should I take Pre-Req when they are not required?

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

    I would at the very least take AP 1 & 2. THese cedits are easily transferrable & it will lighten your case load once you are in the program, allowing you to focus on teh nursing

  16. St. Vincent Catholic Medical Center advice??

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

  17. ways to save time & money on nursing programs?

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

    Your best bet is to take AP1, AP2 micro, dev psychology (bsn), nutrition (bsn), statistics (bsn). I found that those were the classes that will transfer to ADN & BSN programs. If you finish AP 1...

  19. science prerequisites

    Wsmith16 replied to Koofster's topic in New York Nursing

    Most schools have this rule, since alot can change in 7yrs. I know current nurses who are in the field now & are retaking AP for their BSN. If you took it 20 yrs ago there are some things that may...

  20. BSN preferred?

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

    You can still get a job as an ADN student. BSN preferred means just that. If you are still feeling uneasy go on a hospital website and check their employment section. Most hospitals require that you...

  21. Questions about Pre-Requisites

    Wsmith16 replied to pigmachine's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi pigmachine, Your best bet is to take your prereqs at a community college it's way cheaper and most schools offer weekend/day/evening classes. Do nursing schools care more about GPA or the...

  22. Is it true fail two classes and you`re out!

    Wsmith16 replied to sar4tee's topic in General Students

    My school is the same --you fail two classes and you are out. But I think that's pretty reasonable. It's better than failing one class & your out. Plus I'd think that if you you failed one class...

  23. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    Wsmith16 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is an all new low. Even if this were "experimental" as CIGNA calls it. Isn't it worth it to possibly save a life. Shouldn't all measures be taken? I wonder if the folks who denied the liver...

    Wsmith16 replied to digestthis's topic in New York Nursing

  25. Associates or Bachelors?

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

    The BSN schools do not ask for higher gpa's. In my area it's tougher to get into an ADN program then it is a BSN program because the ADN Is cheaper. They both require high gpa's. You asked: " Why...
