    i'm sure some may not agree with me, but hear me out. we have a pregnant nurse on our floor. it's an oncology unit- full of pts that need chemo. many of the others have some kind of infection...

    Feeling down and losing hope.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to sayang87's topic in New York Nursing

    I feel your pain because I was there as a new grad, many years ago. It was such a devastating experience. I really felt like a failure, since I could not get a job anywhere. I ended up getting a...

    Future of Associate programs and RN to BSN programs

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RB2000's topic in General Students

    The 'push' to phase out AD programs has existed for over 40 years now. Many feel the entry level for RN education should be at the BS level. The powers that be still promise that this will happen....

    PhD in Education?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to HottyToddyRebels's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Getting the experience is the easy part: you have a job in education already, your foot is in the door. Don't be in such a hurry to climb up the ladder; it's not all it's cracked up to be. Nor may...

    failed ns...now what?? need advice

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

    As others have posted here, it is going to be a tough sell. With schools being so competitive (public as well as private), they can pick and choose the best of the best. If a school goes strictly...

    I failed Med Surg

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that you did not pass your course. But I have to say, it is a rare circumstance (online, or in person) where the student owns up to it, and does not blame it on everyone else or everything...

    Should i quit?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Lsugal731's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    taking a semester off to get your life in order is not 'giving up'. Part of going to school as an adult is knowing when to say "I can't do this right now'. No one wants to freely admit that, but...

    Associates degree

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    Very true. These things are usually cyclical. When I started nursing school there was a shortage, when I graduated, I could not find a job. What did I do? I took what I could get (home care, which...

    need info about clinicals in CUNY

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to astudent_'s topic in General Students

    You also need to get into the program!! Just having all your pre-reqs done does not guarantee admittance. The CUNY schools are extremely competitive; depending on who else is applying at your time,...

    Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    This is exactly what I was thiking. Their curriculum may be designed in such a way that it satisfies the PN requirements within the RN program. While at work yesterday, we had this exact...

    Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    Using a new test every semester is not only extremely pain-staking for all professors involved, but it also gives us absolutley no way to consistantly evaluate students' performance over time. Test...

    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    Supersage- in response to your concerns: Not having NLN accreditation has no bearing on your ability to practice outside of NY. You have to apply for reciprocity, whether the school you graduated...

    Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    I concur with NY teach. And I believe she meant going into an LPN program, not attempting to sit for the PN boards with what she has (BTW, you can't do that at any point in an RN program anymore in...

    Are you a "Professor", or a "Mrs."?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I was just talking to a new colleague of mine (who is my friend as well). She will be starting at my school this semester, and has worked in a state university in the past. We got on the subject of...

    Dear Nurse, What would you like to see from us Student Nurses????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MCNS2B's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great thread. I'll reiterate a few things that were already mentioned. eagerness/willingness to learn: loitering around the nurses station (or the area that you have your conference in)...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks for your replies. I actually am not 100% sure of the exact despcrition, but I do know that all my colleagues fit the same description (with differences in being full time, part time and...

    Grading students by other means (not just exam grades)

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Is there anyone out there who uses any other means of grading in addition to exams, quizzes, midterms and final exams? We are looking to implement additional means to weigh into the final grade for...

    Grading students by other means (not just exam grades)

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you for all of your ideas. Unfortunately, the powers that be (becasue of influence of other facutly members) are still not buying into the idea of grading by any other means except...

    NYU vs. Adelphi

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to hawks126's topic in New York Nursing

    I cannot confirm or deny the second part of that statement, but I do know that the pendulum swings with stuff like that. Schools have reputations within the hospitals, and it does depend on how they...

    Has any nursing student successfully switched nursing programs?

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

    It all depends on how your old school's curriculum complares with the new school. Nursing 101 is generally the same across the board. After 101, it becomes very complicated. Some schools offer Peds...

    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    There seems to be a very big misconception, among students (or potential students) about NLN accreditation, and what it really means. If a school is not NLN accredited, it does not mean your credits...

    My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I totally see your point. I, personally, would not look at it as "making a name" for yourself, but I guess my nose would be a little out of joint if you came to me and told me "I...

    Have you taken all of your pre-requisites? If you have, there's probably not much you can do to increase your chances at NCC. Just try again, as your chances of getting in are directly related to...
