  1. congrats keanni! (and all others) feel free to pm me if you have questions. I just have psych nursing and then an externship this summer so I am feeling way more relaxed than in the
  2. I was in the same boat as you, I really have no idea about financial aid since I am a second degree student and my husband and I made too much (not for NYC lol) the year before I started school for me...
  3. Hey, I am a student at PBISN with Mystyqx. The way it works is you take 100 and 101 in the fall, 102 in the spring and 103 in the summer (summer semester ends the first week of June this year). If...
  4. Am I Just a Cynic or Is nursing a poor career?

    ugh. last post. before i am misunderstood, when I said "there are bad nurses" I meant that BabyRN2Be's nurse may have been mean and grumpy and bad. I absolutely did not mean at all that anyone on...
  5. Am I Just a Cynic or Is nursing a poor career?

    I said I wasn't going to do this, especially since I know you don't want advice on what to do, more validation of your feelings etc, but I can't help it... I was just reading on the CNS board about...
  6. Am I Just a Cynic or Is nursing a poor career?

    I would have to reiterate the "grass is not always greener" comment. I am coming to nursing to help people and to feel that after a day of putting up with bs, at least I have done some good in the...
  7. Difficulty

    I also know of a few couples who tried for a few years and then got pregnant as soon as they left the city and started relaxing. One went on vacation, one was on a book tour, one moved. I guess that...
  8. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but I finally have one, no, two. When you have more than a 'moderate' amount of alcohol and you find yourself secretly guilty, feeling the need to apologize.... to your...
  9. I am not actually a citizen yet so I can't vote, but I do enjoy watching the state of the Union address (partially just to hear the president misspeak or catch some aging senator sleeping). I was...
  10. Nurses at the State of the Union Address

    I guess I didn't want to go there in my initial post, but I definitely agree with you bluesnurse and dream'n. Absolutely everything about the address is carefully planned and in some way...
  11. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    Hey, so I stopped by the financial aid office on wednesday and they had just completed the packages that day. I picked mine up but hopefully if they are mailed you will get them soon! I am a little...
  12. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    I'm in the ATOP program. I figured if I don't have the financial aid info by wednesday when we go in to try on uniforms I can ask then. Does anyone know if we need white shoes? Also, can they be the...
  13. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    Hey all, Has anyone received anything from the financial aid office? I called a while back and they said we should get it by the end of last week. I've never dealt with loans or aid in the states so...
  14. Pre-reqs in NYC?? Where are you taking them?

    I also took my pre reqs last semester at BMCC. The ratings for the professors I took were all over the map but I was happy with each of them in the end (I worked hard and got straight A's, so I am...
  15. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    A friend of mine who just finished her first year at pbison said that they used to let you take some classes at other schools (that is why she was in A&P II at BMCC) but that last semester they...
  16. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    Yup, WP is my prof as well! maybe I'll get some tips from you! My interviewer suggested I clep intro to psych so I know that one is okay. They probably accept intro to sociology as well (but of...
  17. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    Yay, congrats! I hope everyone else hears today. On my day there was a hiccup in my yahoo mail and the email they sent at 10am didn't show up in my inbox until 5pm. I was a wreck! I am going to clep...
  18. It would be nice to try on a few different pairs of nursing shoes before I drop all that cash... Are there any nursing/medical supply stores in the 5 boroughs?
  19. thanks!
  20. I got in:)

    Congrats! Call your school financial aid office (or maybe the department even has one?) and see if they can healp you. At least it might ease your mind a
  21. Hello, I have a question about the rules in New York. On the Board website it only mentions NPs. I had originally planned (long term) to do a dual degree MSn-FNP/MPH (Columbia) but recently saw a...
  22. Just tell me flat out if I am out of luck :)

    I had a 3.0 in my previous bachelors but worse that that my first time at college and I got nursing school in NYC (Beth Israel). I did have really good NLN scores. You haven't said where you are so...
  23. Anyone know of any NON-DENOMINATIONAL organizations?

    Once I have a few years under my belt I definitely plan to volunteer overseas. My cousin has been working with Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders almost continuously for 5 years....
  24. Beth Israel School of Nursing

    I agree with Mystiqx, but I would add that you can apply before you actually take the NLN. Make sure you give yourself ample time to study, it is high school math/english/chem/bio/physics, but if...

    Congrats everyone! At PBISON it does seem that if you get an interview you are basically in. And they are so nice at the interview! So by my count we have Shmitty3, Mystiqx, NursetobeTracy,...
