I was just looking for info on losing immunity and found this thread!! I recently did a pre-pregnancy work-up and tested negative for varciella, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but I am working on getting pregnant with my second baby. I find ...

Thank you for this thread! This is exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of right now... I go back to the summer semester of my 15-month program next week and needed a reminder of how grateful i am to be there for so many reasons. It is, how...

I think you'll get the same response from everyone, which is: Buy one anyway!! I guess maybe they didn't put it on your list because it is not "officially" a book you need for nursing school, but it will be very helpful to you to learn and also how t...

I was scared to death of the math!! but it really wasn't that bad once I got over the anxiety of it. I don't think you need to repeat a whole college math course to manage it. You obviously have done well in math in the past, so I wouldn't worry too...

I am Swedish too, but have lived in the US for a while now. Good luck to you all! It is very ironic that fixing machines is more valued that healing people... Sweden is such a great country in SO many ways, but not when it comes to appreciating the ...

I could have written that! I am also on a two-week break between spring and summer semesters. half way through a 15-month program. Today was my first full day off after the semester from hell, and all I have done is sleep and sit on the couch feeling...

Hi, Sounds like you're not very happy right now. I feel for you.. I don't know how old you are, but gathering from the details in your post you are relatively young. It took me until I was like 32 to realize what I wanted to do with my life and I am...

Oh, geez I just bought this brick of a book yesterday for this coming semester for $100+........this does not sound encouraging..( I don't think I have seen a bigger, heavier textbook in my life) thanks for the warning

Hi, As I understand it, the programs are designed so that you will get the BSN along the way before you begin the true masters courses. I have a friend who attended the Columbia direct entry program and she even took some time to work/get experience ...

That is so exciting!! I will be in your shoes exactly 1 year from now!! You just took your last final and I am taking my first final tomorrow morning ( first nursing school final that is...). So technically I should NOT be browsing allnurses right no...

Hi, I am attending NYU right now, just finishing up my very first semester and don't really have time to "waste" , projects and finals are looming, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in: To be hosest, my first degree's GPA wasn't all thet great, a...

Hi One little thing to think about if you want to work at NYU is--try to live somewhere near the 6 train ( the green line local), or the 4 or 5 (express) has an easy transfer across the platforms. so you don't have waste too much time waiting to tran...

I am far from an authority on the topic, (still in NS), but from what I hear 60,000 sounds low. From what I understand, new grads here get about 68-72,000 starting salary.... I could be wrong.

I would highly recommend learning some medical terminology and abbreviation. I just started in September and that really help me not to panic when the prof's throw out CVA, DVT, AVD, etc !! You can get a Medical terminology book at Barnes & Noble...

Don't know about their NCLEX rates, but the last time I heard NYC Tech is not an accredited Nursing program, I could totally be wrong about that, but I just thought I'd mention it so you can check it out. It may have changed since then. They are all ...

My first clinical site (LTC) has 1 armband with different colored dots indicating DNR, diabetes, "wanderer" etc. (aswell as in the chart) . Seams to be working well. Didn't have to sign any HIPAA forms before though.. I think that system is working w...

This is not good news for me.. I had counted on actually loosing weight when I start working by all the moving around all the time.!!!! I began putting on the pounds when I started doing my prereqs and I assume there will be a few more as a go throu...

It sound like you feel a little better already!! Just a quick thought: you mentioned church committments. I am sure that the people at you church will understand if you let them go until you have more time. I understand that it is diffuclut to let go...

I just turned 35 this month, just finished my last prereq this summer and I start an accelerated program in a couple of weeks!! Orientation is on Monday...getting seriously nervous as we "speak"...

I just found out that the very book you are talking about is required for my program!! I start NS in a couple of weeks, but I bought that book months ago after reading several post on what would be worth studying ahead of time. (that doesn't mean I...

I haven't got a clue what you should do, but you clearly, definitly need some help --you are clearly overwhelmed!!! One way to possibly ease your load is to get a math tutor for your twins??? that seems like the ""easiest" solution"".....money is ob...

I feel your pain!!! I just added up all the prices of the books on the list and it came to almost $800, but I am hoping not all of them are required....HOW am I going to carry all those books home I wonder??? But I'll wait a few more days to go to ...

Wait a minute... do you mean the hospital or the school?? If it is the school on 6th Ave around 17th street you would go the same route but get off the L at 6th ave....but you probably mean the hospital...

Or maybe, instead of taking the 2/3 to 14th st, you can take either the A, C or E train from Penn station to 14th street (@ 8th ave) and then the transfer will be much shorter to the L train. From the L you can get off at Union Square or continue to ...

You have a lot of responses already telling you that it is NOT too late, and I agree. I have a good friend from my prereq's who is 40 and just started a PA program. I used to feel overwhelmed myself about the amount of time this was going to take and...
