I'm 2 years into my first nursing job. I work on an acute psych unit. I love working with the patients and the doctors. Working with the other nurses is another story. Most are bitter, passive aggressive and the unhappiest bunch of people I have ever...

It is definitely performance anxiety for me more then the out of controlness of the situation. My fear is to mess up in front of a crowd of people. I also have a fear of hitting the person's sciatic nerve. I sometimes have a problem spotting the land...

Interestingly, it wasn't the patients, doctors or general staff that made my first year as a nurse (in psych) complete hell, it was some of the other nurses! Here are some suggestions (other than all the good stuff already recommended above): - See i...

what were your percentiles?

Uhm, she knows I don't work there nor am I making the decision. Maybe that was too obvious for you.

LOL!!! You did better or the same as 99% of the people who took it (probably about 20,000 people or so). You aced it, you're in. Relax! Congratulations!!!!

Are you absolutely sure the percentiles aren't listed? My composite was 147 and my percentiles were: verbal - 99; Math - 87; Science 97. My GPA was about a 3.3 (I have a BA). According the the NLN, most composite scores are between 50 - 150, so you ...

i'm in the middle of my first semester of nursing school. i don't know how to tell you how grateful i am for what you've done for me. your patience, kindness, sharing your expertise, not showing that i've probably thrown off your day, seeing the conn...

Sannart, Loba is probably correct. I would hope they look at the entire picture. A 4.00 certainly says a lot more about your abilities and dedication then one test. If you don't get in, which I doubt, make a fuss.

I got 147 composite

anyone know when the acceptance letters for fall 2009 will be going out?

Sci 25 isn't bad at all, especially after A&P I & II. The professor is fantastic...one of the best I've ever had (I have a BA already, so I've seen my share of the good and bad.) With your engineering background, it should be a breeze for you...

Hi I'm in the same program. Speak with George Nicolades (not sure if I have the right spelling) in the Allied Health office M401. He's a good guy, a real student advocate and has been a great source of information and assitance. From what he told me ...

Hi Sergei I'm not sure where you live. I'm in the pre-clinical nursing program at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. There are more than a few Russian immigrants in my classes, and they are doing well from what I can tell. Check out the King...

I am a 48 yr old man who left Wall Street (I also managed a call center a few years back) in August 08 to study nursing. It's a little complicated how I came to the decision, but part of it had to do with caring for a family member with Alzheimer's o...

Just finished A&P II. In many ways it was even more fascinating than A&P I. However, make sure you understand fluid balance homeostasis, electrolytes, acids/bases, and hormones before you begin (or soon after starting). If you don't, you'll ...

Finished A&P II yesterday. In many ways even more fascinating than A&P I. Some advice.... Get the following stuff down before you start: acids/bases, ions, fluids/electrolytes homeostasis, and all the hormones. You'll need to understand these...

So was mine.

Just finished Bio 11. The professors are fantastic! If you want to learn, they'll help you in anyway they can. The students are another story. More than a few should have been dismissed from the class within the first four weeks...they didn't have ei...

Hi I had a very similar situation in August. I don't want to go into details here. It turned out well, but I STRONGLY recommend that you speak to an advisor (George is fantastic) and get written confirmation that the withdrawal will not be held again...

Thank you for taking care of them. What comes next doesn't denigrate their service. It is a call to action for Americans to be conscious of the power we have and to NEVER allow our children to be expended needlessly. Imagine if the majority of us saw...
