    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    You are 100% right here, gail. Because of what is going on in business and finance, there are more and more people looking to leave those careers and go into nursing, which is much more stable....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mzattitude's topic in General Students

    If you (the student) decides to give a med without me (the instructor) present, and it is wrong (which has happened to me more than once, not a wrong med, but gave meds without me), guess who is...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mzattitude's topic in General Students

    First, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I have to say, as an instructor, when i see any student going through a family crisis, it inevitably affects their performance, either in theory or...

    Need your advice!! Pursing 2nd degree in Nursing

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to kimmonixnurse2be's topic in New York Nursing

    Welcome. Fortunately, you are wrong about what the AD programs look at. The more pre-reqs you have, the better off you are (especially if they are high grades). You need A&P 1 and 2 and Micro,...

    letting students out early

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is never my intention to make the students stay beyond the time scheduled, and I have no problem leaving early if everyone is done. I don't believe in forcung them to stay until 2:00 on the dot....

    Had to leave a nursing program will I get into another

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to BettyBluedalle's topic in New York Nursing

    I am assuming that you mean getting into another program at a later time, right? As long as you have not failed a nursing course, or have been dismissed from the program, you should be able to get...

    What to wear to clinical?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I used to wear business casual with a lab coat. But then I got very warm with the lab coat over it, and if I needed to get 'down and dirty', I'd take off the coat, and was left in regular clothes!!...

    Nursing School: Self-Taught?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    Here comes the post no one wants to read :) Yes, this is generally the way nursing school works. The student prepares for the lecture by reading the material. Then the Professor highlights the...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to tashaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Tasha, If I were you, being that you have no college credits or experience, I would start with the basics. I know they are not eh fun and exciting classes, but they are required classes for ANY...

    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    The faculty (which is also the admissions committee) is off all summer, so basically the admission process was at a standstill (other than testing). Mrs Soto cannot answer specific questions about...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    You could challenge out the first semester as an LPN. You need to take an exam for Nursing 101 and drug calculations. If you pass them both, there is only a 2 crdedit course you need to take in the...

    What's the easiest RN-BSN & MSN program in New York City

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to LisaTheNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I kind of thought the same thing too, but I do get it. And everyone who posted is right, it is nowhere near the workload of the ADN. It is fluff (and that's exactly what I tell my ADN students, but...

    Childens Hosptials in NYC that hire without BSN

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MzTayTay's topic in New York Nursing

    You're all right on the ADN/BSN thing. Some do specify that they require, some specify that they prefer. With the demand not so huge anymore, they can be picky and pick only BSN nurses (as new grads...

    Saint Vincent School of Nursing In Staten Island

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mrc0703's topic in New York Nursing

    Any school will help you find a job as much as they can. But if you're asking whether there is job placement, the answer is no. They are not affiliated with any institutions that guarantee jobs....

    Questions Concerning EpiPens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to cnolan's topic in Camp

    I don't know if it differs from state to state, but I know we are required to have one on site. One year, I was fortunate enough to be there when the state camp inspector came, and that was one of...

    Passing Meds

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to psalm51's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I did that a few times this past semester. It actually worked out very well. One saw things that other didn't and vice-versa. The "med nurse" would prepare his/her meds, then inevitably be waiting...

    Question about Pre-Reqs

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 987!'s topic in New York Nursing

    It depends on the school. Most of them are looking to fill seats for the upcoming semester, to start the nursing courses. They may let you defer a semester, but all schools have different

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    While I understand you have an 8 month old to support, you need to slow down your train of thought here. You are only 21 yrs old. Have you taken any pre-req's yet? If not, start them, slowly, and...

    Do not rush this, there is no reason to. You are only 23. You have plenty of time. And you have 2 kids who need you. There is a reason people are telling you it is the hardest thing you will ever...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to momtojosh's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, do you have documentation that supports this? My students find inconsistancies and problems with care all the time. IMO, that makes them astute students, not targets. Is there any chance...
