  1. nurses with no RN license practicing as a nurse?!

    BSNin2008 replied to inschool4ever's topic in General Nursing

    I was working a job, not in the medical field, and a co-worker of mine said he had a second job as a home health nurse. I asked if he was an RN as I was going to nursing school, and he said yes. He...

    BSNin2008 replied to angelina02_21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Angelina, first off...... CONGRATS!!!! You must be sooo relieved! I am very happy for you. My test is July 28 and I just finished Kaplan July 1. My test grades aren't great either..... from 58-68%....

  3. I got the job!

    BSNin2008 replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a great job.

  4. Should there be a 'White Nurses Association'?

    BSNin2008 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think any organization based on race, gender, ethnicity, etc, is devisive. Period. I think since we all live in America we should just be American. JMHO.

  5. In the middle of OR orientation:still confused

    BSNin2008 replied to dexter99's topic in General Nursing

    Also, you might want to talk to your nurse manager, educator, or preceptor. They might have some good advice on how to make the transition easier. And, by keeping them in the loop, if you finally do...

  6. St. Francis Long Island

    BSNin2008 replied to BSNin2008's topic in New York Nursing

    I did work at LIJ as a tech and the RN's on my unit always had 8 patients. If a nurse called in sick, they would have even more if coverage couldn't be found. I saw the night nurses sometimes have 10...

    BSNin2008 replied to walktheline's topic in Operating Room

    I just graduated last week..... and I am ecstatic to say I was hired before graduation into an OR residency program here in the NYC area. I am soooo excited to start and still in disbelief a bit...

  8. Nursing Seats open

    BSNin2008 replied to tabrown1's topic in New York Nursing

    One thing to keep in mind as well is that because community colleges are so much cheaper and you still become an RN, the competition is VERY tough. I was at Queensborough Community College and the GPA...

    BSNin2008 replied to pnkdmnd's topic in New York Nursing

    MT3 You're very welcome. I was accepted at both Molloy and Adelphi. I chose Adelphi, not really for any particular reason, I think both schools are good nursing schools. No matter what college you go...

  10. Which has a better bsn program Adelphi or Pace University PLease Help

    BSNin2008 replied to pnkdmnd's topic in New York Nursing

    I currently attend Adelphi and am a bit insulted that someone called it a "career" college. I am graduating in May with a Bachelor's of Science in nursing. You cannot get a BS at a "career" college....

  11. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    BSNin2008 replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    That is a great tool but I'm not sure it is totally accurate. I am graduating next May from a BSN program here in NY and from what everyone tells me at the different hospitals I've been doing...

    BSNin2008 replied to Jegra's topic in General Students

    To get into the accelerated program at Adelphi you need to have ALL other classes completed, except for the actual nursing classes. This would include all liberal arts and electives, A&P I and...

    Hi Jen, I'm not sure about NYU's program but I am in the accelerated program at Adelphi. (Long Island). I'm finishing in May 2008. It is very intense, this semester even more so than last. This...
