  1. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Plain Vanilla, Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I haven't been back to this side of the forums in a while. To answer your question, yes I am a spring '08 graduate of LaGcc; the program is...

  2. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with the poster above me, one A- should not stop you from getting into the program. I graduated from the RN program in the spring and I had an A- in both A&Ps (I took the second one with...

  3. Wasting Narcotics

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Gabe's GirlLVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have never been in your position (thank the Lord), and maybe I don't have room to talk because I have not worked as a nurse yet, but I wouldn't do that either. I applaud you for standing your...

  5. Question about Open Houses

    twinmommaRN08 replied to jmCARing4u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ten or eleven sounds good--not too early, not too late. Good luck!! I have an open house to attend in about a week, so post back and tell me how it goes (I'm assuming that you are attending one...

  6. Question about Open Houses

    twinmommaRN08 replied to jmCARing4u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would think that meant that you can come anytime between 9am and 4pm. However, I would not recommend showing up at 3:50pm thinking you are going to be taken seriously. If you don't have another job...

    twinmommaRN08 replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks Allimariee for the information. SNCH is not on a hiring freeze like Nassau University Medical Center, you just have to be persistent to land an interview. I hear great things about how...

  8. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    twinmommaRN08 replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    I guess no one knows Sue. . .let's see if I have any luck. Anyone know the starting salary at South Nassau Communities Hospital? I read the other postings, but it just says low. . .how low is

  9. New RN needs career advice...:(

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Sieren's topic in General Nursing

    The OP came on this board looking for advice, not someone telling her she should be "grateful that [she] has a job" and that she needs to "learn how to be tough and roll with the punches." Are these...

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Eccentric's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey hey hey now Cherry. As helpful as you have been to me, I can't have you implying that KBCC will have the highest passing rate this year. lol LaGcc had a 97% passing rate in 2007, the highest in...

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i'll respect my elders. . .have fun!

  13. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    it seems that you cannot validate your concerns for the "poor patients" being cared for by a rn that took multiple attempts to pass the nclex. i asked the same question that the op asked and you still...

  14. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you really want to know? lmao; you are too funny. :chuckle i took the exam once. it stopped at 75 questions in a little under 60 minutes, and yes i passed! any other questions? are you going to...

  15. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Really? That's the norm? A bunch of primates who are licensed by BONs, clueless, with patients' lives in their hands? lol. I doubt it. You're average, certifications, etc. are not of interest in this...

  16. Sept 19,2008 NCLEX RN test takers!

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Sweet Jelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Leam09. I can't imagine being in either of your shoes; I would be a nervous wreck! 48 hours of waiting was torture and I don't know what I would do if I had to wait a month. You are both in my...

  17. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you're comment is rude; i don't even find it constructive at all. see what you forget is that the nurse who passed on the "ninth try" still has rn after his/her name just like you do. they have to go...

  18. Sept 19,2008 NCLEX RN test takers!

    twinmommaRN08 replied to Sweet Jelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX-RN on Sept. 19th and found out that I passed (yay!) on the 21st because I live in a quick results state. What's the average wait time where you are? I'll be praying for you and I hope...

  19. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

    twinmommaRN08 replied to chachou22's topic in New York Nursing

    I took it on Williams street last Friday (9/19) and found out I passed on Sunday (9/21). I'm a RN! Thanks for the prayers though. The site was up to standards and I was seated and testing within 20...

  21. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course, most people's test scores reflect their knowledge/ability; but, there is a big difference between someone who does poorly on tests because they don't have the required nursing knowledge...

  22. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It can also be said that someone who is willing to fight that hard to reach their goals will be willing to fight that hard, if not harder for their patients. People tend to appreciate what they work...

  23. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    twinmommaRN08 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If someone's desire to become a nurse is so strong that they are willing to spend years trying to pass the NCLEX and take it nth times, then they should be able to take it as many times as the rules...

  24. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

    twinmommaRN08 replied to chachou22's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey chachou, How is your semester going so far? I promised I would come back and tell you what happened when I took my NCLEX, so here goes: 75 questions, 60 minutes, and 48 hours wait to find out...

    twinmommaRN08 replied to lukesmama's topic in General Students

    lol. Thank God my school didn't require us to get tested on bed baths because I would fail! I figured that the more practice I got once I started working, the better I would get. OP: Does your school...
