  1. Is there a Registered Dietitian program for RN's?

    Tanguera posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am currently working on a BSN and am interested in learning more about nutrition. I have a few questions, and I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks! Does anyone know if there are programs out...

  2. ANCC FNP exam: My experience

    Tanguera replied to GoodNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took the ANCC FNP boards a couple of days after my last post and passed! I found this site helpful for info before I took the boards so I figured I’d post my experience as well. This post became a...

  3. ANCC FNP exam: My experience

    Tanguera replied to GoodNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations to those of you who already passed! I am wondering what scores you got on the Exam Edge Familynpprep.com tests. I am wondering if the scores on there are indicative of how well one...

    Tanguera replied to cougdogrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi Hephzy and all of you other FNP-BCers!! Thanks all for your input with the boards. Reading through these posts have been helpful. I am scheduled to take the boards for FNP ANCC soon and I did...

  5. Practice Quiz or Test for Health Assessment?

    Tanguera posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has any "Health Assessment" multiple choice practice tests. I am doing well in the class as far as the physical examination goes, but the written multiple choice tests...

  6. Columbia or Yale?

    Tanguera replied to babycatcher12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi BabyCatcher, I'm actually curious to know how things worked out with your part-time master's at Columbia. I am particularly interested in learning how you handled going to school part-time and...

  7. Columbia ETP vs. master's

    Tanguera replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, for ETP you don't need to have any experience since the students already have a non-nursing Bachelor's degree and have only taken BSN prerequisites; but they don't even have the RN license. It...

  8. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, it's tough to know what their process is like. I was wondering whether they might have made offers to their top 10 and are giving those ten people maybe a week or so to decide, then after a...

  9. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm tempted to call and see if they've made any decisions, but the thing is, I already called last week to follow up on the matter and they said they were still interviewing candidates. I already got...

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know when we're supposed to hear back but hopefully

  11. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They asked some very common interview questions: about previous work experience, how did you transition into nursing, why HSS, where do you see yourself in 5 years, things like that. It isn't always...

  12. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks Horseshoe, Yeah, I had my interview already and it wasn't too bad. I usually am very relaxed at interviews, and I have a lot of experience with public speaking, so I wasn't too nervous....

  13. ADVICE NEEDED- Hospital for Special Surgery Interview

    Tanguera replied to NurseJackieO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NurseJackieO, I have an interview coming up there also. Did you have your panel interview at HSS? What does that mean even? Who is on the panel besides the nurse recruiter? It sounds intimidating! I...

  14. NYU, SUNY Downstate

    Tanguera replied to kdrose01's topic in New York Nursing

    So I was going to bring up this topic (gender/race/ethnicity/nationality/) before, but since it is a touchy issue, I didn't think I wanted to touch it until someone asked outright. So, thanks for...

  15. Paying for a Residency Program

    Tanguera replied to hiddencatRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow yeah that is new to me. I know that in other countries, like the Philippines, those programs are popular where the students will pay the hospital for experience so that they could perhaps get...

  16. Home Care for new grad?

    Tanguera replied to Aleirax's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm in the same boat as you are. I just wonder whether a NJ state license is going to be of help. I talked to people who said it is also very hard now to get a job in NJ. I don't want to have to move,...

  17. New Grad RN - employment options???

    Tanguera replied to KK1017's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I graduated three months ago and passed the NCLEX. I haven't looked that hard for jobs but my classmates who also graduated with me have been looking. I dont' think anyone has a nursing job yet. I...

    Tanguera replied to iluvoctober's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    iluvoctober, I am curious to know why you are considering applying to Downstate? I wrote many posts in other threads about Downstate and my terrible experience there. There are numerous others who...

  19. NYU Accelerated BSN Spring 2011 Applicants

    Tanguera replied to gatorrach's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't go to Downstate because it is cheap. It is very difficult to get in because it is so cheap. The students are generally very motivated and willing to learn, but the administration is so...

  20. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    Tanguera replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    I, too, am very curious to know how Downstate class of 2011 is doing so far since they just finished their first summer session. I've spoken to many students from the Class of 2011 and they've had...

    Tanguera replied to AussieRNinHI's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Tanguera replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Artistmom, So sorry I haven't written earlier. I've been behind with e-mails and I was out of town for almost two weeks. I did have plenty of issues with the program when I began and I still am...

  24. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    Tanguera replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    About placing out of classes. You can place out of pathophysiology if you take it beforehand which I woudl highly highly recomment if you can do it since the course is a 5 week course and is...

  25. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    Tanguera replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    I've done enough bashing of Downstate on this site and while I hate to spread negativity, I also want to inform those who are considering coming to this program about its weaknesses. I was in the same...
