2. Canadian nursing grad thinking of heading to NY

   talldollNYC replied to Near Done Nurse's topic in New York

   Working conditions, orientation programs, tuition reimbursement, etc. varies. What area do you want to work in? Where do you want to live? Some hospitals list training and benefits plans on their websites. Do a google search on "NY hospitals" and...

3. Canadian nursing grad thinking of heading to NY

   talldollNYC replied to Near Done Nurse's topic in New York

   I moved to New York five years ago - from Minnesota. It was a bit of a culture shock for me, but I love it. Have you lived in a big city before? If so, you'll have no problem. The cost of living is high, but salaries are high too. New grads start...

4. Advice: Take a class or read the...Made Incredibly Easy Series?

   talldollNYC replied to careerdejour's topic in General Students

   Is it possible for you to audit classes? If you learn best in a classroom situation, I'd reccommend it. I, personally, don't get much done unless someone else is setting the deadlines I was a little worried about my math skills, so before taking ...

   Heehee! I love snow! I'm in New York city. The first flakes just started to fall here. We're supposed to get 6 inches! Break out the sleds!!! -t

7. Feeling like a number

   talldollNYC replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

   So, it seems like there are three main issues... 1) The teacher's response to your paper. IMO, it sucks that they did not take the time to write a personal note. However, to directly comment on any intimate details that you revealed could be seen ...

8. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

   talldollNYC replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

   So, basically what SmilingBlueEyes said! :)

9. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

   talldollNYC replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmm. IMHO, this is a strange sort of question. I'm just going into nursing now (yeay, second career!) and have spent a good deal of time working in the corporate and theatre world. To ask "Are Doctors better than Nurses?" seems as odd to me as as...

10. Freak Accident! (sorry kinda long)

    talldollNYC replied to TheMagicCookie's topic in General Nursing

    We're studying Clostridium in Microbiology right now. It's an anaerobic bacteria - notoriously difficult to grow in the lab, which might be why your cultures didn't show anything. Clostridium is a particularly nasty family of bacteria. C. perfinge...

11. Stop the Madness!!

    talldollNYC replied to huggietoes's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds rough. I'm sorry. It always sucks to be in the middle of immature antagonistic behavior. Don't know if it makes you feel any better, but situations like that occur everywhere, not just in nursing. While I'm in school (for my BSN), I'm w...

12. Nlnac = Ccne?

    talldollNYC replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That is a great idea, to check on masters programs to get an idea of what they reccommend. I know that the Pace program is accredited by the State of New York - it's even listed on the New York State Department of Education website. http:/...

13. Nlnac = Ccne?

    talldollNYC posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in accelerated BSN program at a school that is accredited by the CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) but not the NLNAC (The National League for Nursing Acrediting Commision). Does this matter? What does this mean? Does it have an...

15. newbie wants to be a nurse anesthetist

    talldollNYC replied to peas's topic in CRNA

    There are schools which offer direct entry CRNA degrees. Columbia University, in NY, offers a direct entry CRNA program. It takes at least three years to complete the program. The prereq's are as follows (to the best of my knowledge): Anatomy/Physi...
