    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to bananamommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm an instructor, and I love to hear about how 'unfair' NCLEX is. Why? Because the little man behind the computer is not 'out to get you' like we are :chuckle. It is what it is, and there's...

    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to rsantos718's topic in New York Nursing

    Trust me, they are. Mine transferred (went to both schools), so have many students before and after me. They wouldn't be in business if this were the case. And no reputable school would be able to...

    Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Nursing - Queens

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to rsantos718's topic in New York Nursing

    The school is not accredited by the NLN, which really doesn't mean much of anything. All credits are transferable to almost any program for BS and MS. Many of their graduates have gone on to receive...

    Saint Vincent School of Nursing In Staten Island

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mrc0703's topic in New York Nursing

    I am very familiar with the school, and I am not sure what this 'affiliation' with those schools are, if any. I know they have an affiliation with St Francis, but that will soon change, as they will...

    Nursing Seats open

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to tabrown1's topic in New York Nursing

    I have worked in a few hospitals, and taught in a few schools in the queens/LI area, but of course, my opinion is just that...my opinion. Molloy is a very good school, IMO. I completed my BSN...

    Fast RN to BSN program.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to tabrown1's topic in New York Nursing

    Wow, you want it all don't you :chuckle Seriously, unless you have all your other classes (your liberal arts, history, chem, art, music and all that), you will not get away that cheap or that quick....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseSoonToBe's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi I worked at SCH for a few years. The salary is good, comparable to the others in the area, not sure what the exact # is (IMO a thousand more or less is not gong to make a difference). The...

    what makes nursing courses challenging?

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

    As a general rule, yes . Although they are different in their delivery, they are similar in their difficulty. With both types of classes, you need to know, memorize AND understand what you are...

    Instructors: do you ever get used to being the enemy?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been teaching for three years now. I love my job. From the time I was in my ADN program, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I attribute this to a couple of the instructors I had. They...

    Instructors: do you ever get used to being the enemy?

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

    Thanks elk for the reply. I think it speaks volumes that only one person replied to my thread. After reading pages of instructor bashing threads here, I guess (at least here and in NS) we are the...

    A letter to my clinical instructor..

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mlisk589's topic in General Students

    I think your letter was very well thought out. It sounds like you recognize your weaknesses, and know the areas in which you need to improve on. I do not know your clinical instructor (at least I...

    Not Working During Nursing School ok??

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

    I think it's okay to not work during school. It actually gives you the opportunity to do a summer externship. There are many students who cannot do them, because they already have full time job, that...

    Are You Being Bullied in the Classroom

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Jayfa's topic in General Students

    I recently found out that someone in of my classes is being bullied. I was waiting for it to come up in clinical, and it did. No one seems to know who the victim is, and no one seems to see it...

    50 out of 100 Nursing students failed program

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Exactly. Where do we draw the line? First its one point, then it's two and so on. If she failed by one point (if that is even true, you can't believe everything you hear, people never want to admit...

    No Longer a Student :(

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to student1000's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    This is very true, and I think we need to realize this. that maybe, this was in the best interest of the student, not necessarily the instructors being

    No Longer a Student :(

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to student1000's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm guessing this was more than just an isolated incident. I think you need to explore exactly what was happening, why you were so emotional in school. What exactly was going on? Also, is this the...

    how long should you practice as a nurse before becoming a teacher?

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

    I would agree that a good rule of thumb would be about 5 yrs, at the very least. I have been a nurse for 13 yrs, and sometimes I feel like it's not enough. It also depends on what and where you plan...

    Beyond Lecture

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ceecel.dee's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    One thing that does work (provided the students come prepared for lecture) is breaking them up into groups and giving them case studies or scenarios. Give them a situation and they come up with the...

    Feeling lost during clinicals

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in General Students

    Okay, I'll try to give you some insight from my perspective. basically, what I tell my students when they feel the same way (yes, you're not the only one who feels that way). There seems to be no way...

    Passing Meds

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

    You raise an excellent point. I have been told my other educators that the maximum is 10 students per instructor. This is not our school's rule, not sure if it is the state BON. But I have taught...

    Do as I say, not as they do

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'd just like to hear how other educators handle this. When you instruct a student to do something a certain way, and the staff nurse comes along and does it another way, or even worse, the wrong...

    MSN without BSN

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

    Try SUNY at Stonybrook (NY). They have an online MSN program, and I am pretty sure they will consider a non-nursing BS (I know they did a few years ago). Last I knew, their online MSN programs were...

    Hate nursing school, please help

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Higgs747's topic in General Students

    Good for you. After looking back at your original post, it sounds like this is more of the path you should be taking, like the nursing model wasn't for you. Sorry to see you go, but you gotta do...
