Hi all, I'm currently working full time as a RN, but completed my masters (FNP) in summer 2016. Graduation coincided with the birth of my first child, so the idea of switching jobs at that point was not something I was thinking about. I generall...

I'm starting full time with clinicals at LIU in the fall and need to finish one pre-req beforehand. It just needs to be a 4 credit, basic chemistry course. Ideally I'd like to avoid a) taking it at LIU where it would be too expensive for a summer cou...

I agree. As someone who will be soon seeking a new grad job, I'm perfectly content with starting at 70k. Everyone has a different lifestyle, but I disagree that earning 70k a year is "barely doable" in NYC. If you're looking to support a family or ar...

Hi. I'm a student in the accelerated program now. I think you have a good shot. You have good grades in your other classes so I wouldn't worry TOO MUCH about one C - esp if you have strong reccomendations and a decent essay.

I purchased all of my books either brand new or "like new" from Amazon and for me it was a little over $100 less than if you were to just buy them all through the NYU bookstore.

SUNY Downstate is definitely harder to get into than NYU. SUNY had like 400 applications this past year for 50 spots I heard. It was also my first choice because it was accelerated and really inexpensive, but I didn't get in. I did get into NYU and a...

I have a certified private loan and was asking for about 10 grand more than I actually needed to cover the remainder of tuition & fees and was worried they would deny it, but they didn't. Most schools understand you will have living expenses that...

I went to my general physician who has to fill out my school paperwork. He gave me the order to get the blood titers at a lab.

You have to have the titers done first and then that'll determine if you need boosters. I had titers done for MMR, Hep B and Varicella and they determined I had no immunity to varicella and about 95% immunity to Hep B so I'm getting a booster for tha...

I've moved within NYC 3 times since I've been here and each time I haven't been able to find apartments until the month before I planned on moving - that's generally how things on Craigslist work. So if you're looking for a place for September 1st, t...

Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. I definitely felt that way too before I started getting the paperwork taken care of. First off, the doctor doesn't need to fill out 10 pages worth of information, it's really only like 3 of those pages (or 4 ...

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed? Like thinking that they won't get everything they need done in time? I'm pretty nuts about getting stuff done asap, so the fact that I can't even register until my deposit is in is killing me. I can't give it to the...

Update! I called Financial Aid and spoke to a really nice guy and explained my situation. He said he would get back to me later today with the information I needed, and he did! So it's official, I'm going to NYU! The ID number they put on all of my m...

Hi guys! I found out I got in to NYU's 15 month program today. I wasn't expecting it and have already put some money into another school that I was planning on going to in the fall (probably still am - LIU). I pretty much have to decide by tomorrow w...

Thats funny you say that because when I was in the office registering, girls kept coming by and asking the advisor what the hell was going on with WebCT, because they weren't able to register and were getting nervous. I was lucky enough to get my sch...

Can I ask you guys where some of your clinicals have been so far? Have you been in manhattan, or do you know of students ahead of you that have clinicals in manhattan? Are the assignments randomly chosen for a student?

On my letter it said May 1st.

This is ridiculous. I really have no choice, it's either I go to LIU this fall or nowhere at all, and I'm so incredibly sick of waiting to start school. How is the curriculum different from last year? The website has had the same curriculum posted fo...

I'm not in a master's program, so I may not be 100% right about this, but I'm thinking the teachers you spoke with got their master's part time, which is why it took 3-4 years. A lot of RN's go on to get their masters while the hospital they work at ...

Hmmm..the clinical/class learning confusion is scary because it's nothing you can personally do to fix it. The idea of clinicals make me nervous in general, as I'm sure they can with all new students. When I registered recently, I registered for eve...

Is it specifically that you don't think the professors are helpful to you? Do you feel you're not learning what you need to be a successful nurse? I'm just trying to get a sense of what's making everyone so miserable beyond the fact that there's a sh...

Okay you've officially scared the hell out of me. I'm already registered for my nursing courses for fall '09. I have a previous BA from a college with a sub par administration, so in that sense, I'm sure to be on top/borderline annoying about getting...

I actually thought they followed up better than other schools I dealt with. Whenever I've had to e-mail admissions they've gotten back to me within 48 hours. SUNY Downstate was a complete disaster, and NYU answered an e-mail of mine literally 3 month...

You have to score a cumalitive of atleast 75% between over four sections: Reading Comp, Grammar, Math and Vocab. You're also tested on A&P, Chemistry and Biology. They see those scores too, but they aren't factored in. After taking the test you c...

I sent in my admission deposit last week, so i'm officially going to LIU! I got rejected from SUNY Downstate and after doing a cost analysis of LIU and NYU (it seems to be about a $13,500 differential roughly) I picked LIU. I know its longer, but at ...
