    1lollipop posted a topic in School

    What is the salary for a full-time public school nurse by the NYC Board of Ed and/or a school nurse working in a college in NYC? I hear the colleges pay their school nurses more, but I'm curious. I...

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I failed nursing school (got 2 C-'s in OB and pharm) from a BSN program. I hate the idea of having to give up. If I could start over, I would take fewer classes at a time...Is there any other...

  4. Is working as a CNA/Nurse Tech risky to my future nursing license?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm a f/t new nursing student. If I work as a CNA or nurse tech, would I be risking my future career prospects as a nurse? I heard that CNA's & nurse techs need liability insurance, so I would...

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

  6. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm curious about this because my friend told me (her mother is a nurse). She said that NY will soon require LPN's to get their RN licenses, and do away with LPN programs altogether. Could this be...

  7. Questions about Adelphi

    1lollipop replied to NurseDreamerNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm an Adelphi nursing student now. To answer your questions since I came in as a transfer myself, if you don't have a prior associates degree in nursing, they will not accept more than 2 nursing...

  9. Anyone attending Adelphi University???

    1lollipop replied to BunnyRN's topic in New York Nursing

    There are no pre-req's required in order to get accepted into Adelphi's nursing program. If you choose to take them early, you can't go wrong by taking Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2,...

  10. without an RN licence what else can i do in nursing field until i get my licence?

    1lollipop replied to GN-nurse09's topic in New York Nursing

    If you can afford to just concentrate on passing your NCLEX, that would be best. Otherwise, I don't see why it'd be tougher to find a job as a nurse tech. You could always say that u plan to work...

  11. Any advice on becoming a nurse?

    1lollipop replied to mumsy's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not a parent, but I am a f/t nursing student. I had a previous BA in English when I applied to nursing school and had to quit my job as a substitute teacher b/c I was so overwhelmed by all the...

  12. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks to all for your replies! I'm in an RN program, but I often wish I applied to a LPN program instead! It's going to take me 3 yrs to complete my BSN (even though I have a BA already in...

  13. Anyone attending Adelphi? LI or Manhttan

    1lollipop replied to IWillBANurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm attending Adelphi & taking CHE 109. It's a very tough class, tougher than general chemistry. Unless you're strong in math and/or chemistry, it won't be easy at all. I study more for that...

  14. hawthorne--opinion?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I just watched the show "Hawthorne" on the TNT channel. It's a new drama about nurses. I liked it... It seems to be a realistic portrayl of what nurses do. I'm glad there's finally a show about...

  15. I applied to 2 colleges, and not sure where else to apply....

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Please name some 2- or 4- year colleges (preferably in Long Island, Queens, or Brooklyn) that don't require the pre-requisites to be completed by the application deadline (I am applying as a transfer...

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Is there any school (preferably in NY) that accepts prior nursing credits (some or all of them) even if the candidate does not hold any type of nursing license already? I know LPNs have no trouble...

  18. Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    1lollipop replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know anything about St. Vincent's, but what I do know is that it's very hard (if not impossible) to transfer nursing credits later on unless they are non-nursing pre-req's such as chemistry,...

  19. NEW and Need advice! QCC/BMCC/Adelphi/Pace

    1lollipop replied to VEVargas81's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm at Adelphi now (class of 2012), and I was in a similar situation as you. There are so many added fees and other loops I have to jump through at this school. There are several pre-reqs also...

  20. Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    1lollipop replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    I inquired about the spring. It's tempting to go there since they offer an ASN, but I worry that they're not accredited. What if I decide to transfer to a BSN program later, and they don't take me...

  21. Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    1lollipop replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    I live on Long Island, and it's easier to navigate with a car. Public transportation on the Island is not as easy and convenient as it is in the city. You may get lucky and get clinicals near you in...

  23. hawthorne--opinion?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Wow that seems gross. That nurse ("Nurse Jackie") could be sued for sexual harassment if she did it in real life, very unprofessional. From reading that, it doesn't sound like a realistic portrayl...

  24. hawthorne--opinion?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't have Showtime, but the commercials for Nurse Jackie look weird. The show is weird b/c they seem to focus on her drug addiction to draw viewers in. I like the compassion that's portrayed in...

    I've applied for CNA and PCA positions in Nassau, but I have no relevant work experience so far. I plan to work p/t while attending nursing school f/t. When I get hired and start for the first time,...
