I too am sorry to hear this nurse acted in such a manner. Don't let her attitude get you down. We were all new at some point and we are all still learning. Perhaps once you find the answer, you can educate her. Was the Amio connected with an in-line...

Hello all! For those of you that accepted offers at NYP are you at Cornell or Columbia? And how is orientation going? I am starting next month in the CCU at Cornell and am curious about orientation.

Just as an FYI, a Muslim would never say this. Muslims believe in and revere Jesus and his teachings. In caring for others of different religious views, especially in hospice, it is important for us as nurses to be culturally sensitive, which means b...

I agree with Jadelpn here. But I can't help but wonder if there was some sort of misunderstanding on the nurse's part; did he think Carol was talking about him and not the patient? It sounds like perhaps the nurse missed the prior convo, that you and...
For those such as Mosalynn, who didn't wear the hijab until the job was secured, how did you go about doing so? Did you show up on your first day with it on or did you talk to management about your plans to wear it?

What did the recruiter tell you at the end of the interview in terms of the next steps? Did you move on to interview with the the manager, director, etc of the unit of interest? Perhaps you can call at the beginning of the business day or call the ma...

The website has the clinical affiliations listed. You can find the list at http://www.cnr.edu/NursingSchool/ClinicalAffiliations. The clinical sites are at great facilities, BUT you could be placed anywhere in NYC, Westchester county, Long Island, ...

Hi Trouble, I think they changed the admissions process after I started at the school and I am not sure what they are asking for these days. You should be able to take those prereqs at a local community college or perhaps look into Excelsior online c...

I am currently a student at CNR (2nd degree) with B+ gpa. I would only recommend the school to my worst enemy. The only good things at the school are 1) aesthetically pleasing campus and 2) the clinical affiliations are at the area's top medical ce...

Hey Pyeung2, As far as I know, IT students can register for summer courses. I am currently taking a few as we speak. Whatever you've charted with Ms. G is not set in stone. I think when I met with her, she did the same with me and I just took it u...

Hi Pyeung2, While you only posed this question to Goldruss...I thought I'd add my 2 cents just in case you find it helpful too. 209/209L: You definitely need the Fundamentals of Nursing book. I'd skip on the APA books, unless you are totally unfamili...

It went well...GPA is around 3.4. Can't give you the exact GPA because of course there was a mix up with one of my grades and I haven't received the corrected grade as of yet.

The problem with the lack of organization is widespread with administration...from the registrar to financial aid to some of the professors. Mind you...my first degree was from a very, very large research university, so I may have been spoiled by th...

Parking is really not an issue. I commute from NJ and have never had an issue with not being able to find parking. There is a big lot behind the gym, that is never full. I have actually never had to park over there though.

BB, Make sure to follow up with them to ensure they have received all of your materials. I previously posted that I do not find the courses to be very difficult, but it depends on your background. I am scientifically and mathematically inclined, hav...

The costs of textbooks depend on what courses you are taking. If you go to efollet.com, look up the school and you can type in your courses to get the name and cost of the text books you will need. The bookstore prices are really high, so you may b...
