Got my acceptance letter for Fall 2010 today. Not sure if I will attend, it all depends on how my other applications go. Anyone else receive a letter, or testing for this program?

Amch pays the least out of area hospitals as far as I am aware, there are some CNAs at other facilities making what a newer RN at amch is making.

While purchasing a car last year the salesman asked me what I did, I told him I was a nurse. He asked me if I was a "Real Nurse" (RN) or a "Pretend Nurse" (PN), he found his joke hilarious. This is why hes a car salesman.

So I took the NCLEX-PN at 5pm this evening, well, actually I began a little before 5. I minimized the clock on the screen and wasn't really paying attention the the # of questions, I believe my exam shut off between 85-87 because the last # I remembe...

Meant to post this earlier but I've been so busy... I PASSED! I checked my "quick results" Saturday evening when I got home from being out all day. The PVT works! Thank you everyone

When I mailed my application to NY in June they required a passport sized photo be attached to the application. There was a box for it at the top right corner. I mailed my application to Albany on June 9th, paid my Pearson Vue fee on June 28th and re...

Lol yeah trust me we all have! I have all the books/workbooks in mint condition if you're interested

No, the uniform company comes to the school in October and we had to buy the entire uniform from them. I believe it cost me about $65 for a top, bottom, and apron. The uniform is not scrubs so it is obvious if you're wearing regular scrubs.

Hello, I just graduated the full time program in June. The uniforms are nothing short of awful. They are white pants and a white zip up top with a navy blue smock that has the school patch on it. The uniform is not scrub material, it's kind of scratc...

I sent my application to Albany on May 26th, however the head of my school didn't send the list of approved graduates to Albany until June 10th. I registered with Pearson Vue on June 28th and had my ATT the morning of June 30th.

I would have loved it if my nursing school gave us 2 uniforms for free and a break after every 50 minutes. sheesh..

THIS. The waiting lists for nursing programs in my area (NY Metro) can be years long. I chose to go the LPN route first so that I could bridge into an RN or BSN program more easily. I take offense when you say things about not wanting your mother to ...

You haven't told ME anything. There has been more then "some meetings and comments" made about this bill but I'm not on this board to argue. I was simply stating that if RNs from a non-accredited school wish to go on and obtain their BSN (which is go...

Just so you know, a bill was passed that says all nurses need to get their BSN in a certain amount of time after receiving their RN. Many nurses (such as the mother who received her schooling out of the US) have been grandfathered under this bill so ...

I'm almost finished with lpn school, they offer a week of tests in June for challenge exams. You can test out of 6 nursing classes total. They tell you not to expect to pas these exams but I think they're just trying to deter you. After you pass the ...

St Pauls loves to ride on the old St Vincents coat tails and claim that they are the same school, therefore have achieved the same things. This is completely false. They BOUGHT St Vincents when St Vincents went bankrupt. St Vincents was a wonderful s...

The uniforms are terrible. They're not normal scrubs, there's white pants and a white zip up top with a collar. Then there's a blue smock/apron you have to wear and its awful. Clinicals are at a county run nursing home, Good Samaritan hospital, Helen...

June if all goes as planned lol

The full time program is very fast paced. We have 2 exams a week and are usually very far ahead in lecture material before we take an exam. For example, yesterday we took an exam on material we learned a few weeks ago because our instructors have bee...

The male receptionist, is he at the Queens location? I have been dealing with the Staten Island location and the girl who answers the phone is just plain rude.

Okay, I originally contacted St Pauls in Fall 2009, was told application packets for Fall 2010 would be available around the holidays and I would be contacted. I called them again at the end of January, was told I would be contacted. Didn't hear from...

I had been waiting to get a seat in this program since the Fall 2007 semester. They kept changing the selection process from a waiting list, to a lottery, to pools of lotteries, etc. Last spring they finally changed it to an entrance exam (PAX-RN), ...

Hi! Just wondering if anyone here is an LPN and if St Pauls allowed you to challenge out of some courses or if you had to start from scratch. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I'm actually currently enrolled in LPN school and am graduating in June so I'm not too worried about the information not being fresh in my brain. I'm hoping to not have to take any time off from school and bridge right away,...

Hi! I know back when St Pauls was St Vincents they allowed LPNs to challenge certain sequences of the program. I'm wondering if anyone knows if St Pauls also allows this? Their website leaves a lot, if not all, questions unanswered. I know they're n...
