Hello everyone, Has anyone been accepted to Cochran Nursing School? I'll be in the evening program, then I'll apply for the accerated part of it in the summer. I'm coming from queens to go to Yonkers. Whewww! I got in just in time because next yea...

I was calling York college to ask for info on there RN to BSN program. However to my surprise, on there phone message, they said that they're going to open a new program for those who want to become a nurse. It didn't say if it was a ADN or BSN prog...

I just want to pass

I spoke with the admissions adviser yesterday at my school. She said they have plenty of seats open for January. Its also 1st come 1st serve. If you recieve a C or lower in A&P, you can take Excelsior challenge test, any passing grade and they wi...

After reading all these high GPA, I don't know how I made it in the accelerated program. My school is a 2 yr ADN, however if you apply and get selected for the summer, you'll finish in 16 months. I got chosen. I only had a 3.0, 24 student was selecte...

When I called the school, the recording mention that its not accepting application at this time, the 1st semester starts in Sept.09. Remember one thing about CUNY schools, you must go there a semester before you enter the nursing program.

I have a few friends who went to NASNA meeting. There were many Representative from different hospitals. Talking about networking, although they haven't finish yet, they'll remember you. That is what happen at the meetings last summer. Some of them g...

i'm happy that you went to school when it wasn't so difficult. now all cuny nursing programs are difficult to get in. suddenly in the past 3 to 4 yrs nursing school became difficult to get in. everyone is changing careers. now cuny schools is one of ...

For there RN to BSN, there is no waiting list. However for there traditional BSN, its not competive yet because hardly anyone is aware of it. The cuny school Hunter, everyone knows about it and its difficult to get in. So if anyone wants to try to ge...

Do you know the requirements? Or where did you get your info, I was wondering do they have a brocher or something

No worries, when I was going to school the next day, a fellow student who ride with me to clinicals also read my post. They explain to me what union hospital mean, in other words she was laughing the entire trip to clinicals that day. I'm happy I ma...

I'm doing my Clinical there now during the summer, I think the environment is awesome. But my clinical is in Pediatric right now, and I haven't been on a Med Surge floor. If the pay was higher and it was in NYC I most definitely would have apply to g...

There is about 8 or 9 cuny schools that don't require Biology to take A&P. Some of them may require one Chemistry course but you need that anyway. The only thing the Biology help you with if your applying to a PA program.

Wow, where is Union Hospital, I'll gradatuate this December. $69k sounds good to me.

If anyone say nursing school is not challenging and its easy, I don't believe them. In my class and if not other nursing school, at least half the students have Bach and Master degrees non medical fields. Most if not all those students are struggling...

I attend Cochran school of nursing in Yonkers, If all goes well. I'll be finish in Dec.08

Are any of you EC grades are going to do your BSN through EC? I'm thinking that is one of the best ways to go.

I think with the RN to BSN its not that competitive to get in. Only the traditional program you need a extremely high GPA. I'm also concern about clinical days and how many days you have to go to school for the RN to BSN. I was thinking about Excelsi...

I heard the same thing that Wsmith16 mention. You also have to weigh everything out. Aldephi is a BSN, but its for 2 1/2 yrs. The other is a ADN but only 2 yrs. I'm only going to be in school for 16 months to get a ADN, I already feel that I can't go...

whoofers, Although you believe they won't change the law to allow more nursing schools. You also mention that you'll look like not a team player for not working overtime. To me as long as they can't fire me, myself and other nurses can't do it everyt...

I go to a different school but they usually place you on the days they want you to have. However I ask if I could go on another day with another group and they were going to allow it. Maybe they'll do the same for you.

Wow, thats great, I used to work at a job when the employer can mandate you to work extra hours. I didn't enjoy it at all. Maybe this can spin off to solve other nursing issues. Since they can't mandate us and they need more nurses. Maybe they'll loo...

If you know any students who is ahead of you, ask them. They'll tell you if its do able about having another job. Example, at my school, the 1st semester you can survive with a job. Every student told me during the 2nd semester(medsurge), not to work...

I agree, I wouldn't take any job that is demanding, I found out the hard way and my grades suffered in Med Surge. I made adjustments and I pass. I study a University in LI. The security guard there have a desk, nobody disturbs him for 8 hrs. No nois...

I see there are many women nurses feel this subject isn't a big deal. Well, I'm a nursing student in NYC, I'm currently taking Maternity this summer. So far, I been kick out, or ask not to come in because I'm a Male nursing student. So far i haven't ...
