  1. I don't understand how to get a BSN...

    RNDreamer replied to ZionsWrath's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look around at 4 year colleges in your area for BSN pograms. Also, search for your state board of nursing and see if they have nursing schools listed on their site. My state BON site does....

  2. Nurses...Miserable?

    RNDreamer replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :yeahthat: Of all the nurses I know (family and friends), only ONE (one of my aunts)has told me that they don't like their job, and tried to discourage me from pursuing nursing. The rest like being...

  3. CNA training

    RNDreamer replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my class, we practiced on each other, then went to the nursing home. I believe in NY, you need something like 30 hours of internship in order to be qualified to take the exam. I remember when you...

  4. Statistics prerequisite

    RNDreamer replied to CAguyinMO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :yeahthat: I took Stats during the summer (6 week) session. We were lucky because there were only 6 or 7 of us, so we had the professor's undivided attention and he had time to explain things that we...

    RNDreamer replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

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

    I guess I'll be the first to say that my General Biology couses were the HARDEST pre-reqs so far. Both professors gave very difficult exams, and both classes had us panicking every time exam time...

  9. Private Scholarships forms in NY

    RNDreamer replied to 1lollipop's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you need to apply for fin aid if applying for a private scholarship, unless the scholarship specifies it. Same for a private loan, unless they specify it. For gov't aid, yes. Even...

  15. Help

    RNDreamer replied to Oldtonursing's topic in New York Nursing

    Give it time. It's only been a month. I don't think you should accept a job on a unit that you don't feel comfortable working on. A friend of mine (past graduate of LIU, by the way) waited a month...

    RNDreamer replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RNDreamer replied to KPolk RN2B's topic in General Students

    RNDreamer replied to KPolk RN2B's topic in General Students
