  1. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

    ExpatHopeful replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really wish NYU would e-mail out decisions. The wait is killing me!! My two and half months of patience cracked on Monday and I called admissions and was told all the letters for transfer students...

  2. Pace - accelerated BSN

    ExpatHopeful replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Sounds like we are totally in the same boat with school. I think your plan sounds good. I heard that you can apply to Pace early and that they will let you know before june/july - sort of a rolling...

  3. Nursing with a Latex Allergy

    ExpatHopeful replied to Homesteader2B's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the legalities of this issue are, although I am sure there must be employment and health regulations about it, but I do know that one of the catherization labs at my hospital went...

  4. Pace - accelerated BSN

    ExpatHopeful replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Strange.... maybe it was clear in my email to her that I was only interested in the NYC program and it is only that one where the CDP without prereqs program has been cancelled?? Were you clear that...

  5. Pace - accelerated BSN

    ExpatHopeful replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, I was going to apply to it this year, but received this email from Pace a month ago: "Thank you for your email. I do want to let you know that as of Friday January 30, 2009 the Leinhard School of...

  6. Disappointing Undergrad Grades

    ExpatHopeful replied to Anikka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Anikka, I have a very similar story as you and I don't think either of us should be embarrassed or ashamed! I should have finished my first BA in 2001, but suffered from depression halfway...

  7. Number of Accredited Nursing Schools?

    ExpatHopeful replied to searay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for clearing that up acshartman. Guess I got the national/regional accreditation a little confused with the NLNAC/CCNE one as far as funding and loans goes. Also your point about transferring...

  8. Number of Accredited Nursing Schools?

    ExpatHopeful replied to searay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't given this a whole lot of thought or research, but it could be that it is either very difficult to get NLNAC certification or that it's expensive to get. Being certified means that an...

  9. NYU accelerated nursing students/applicants

    ExpatHopeful replied to astrmi's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Esuh, I am applying too and I answered the last short answer with sort of a summary of my essay, but more focus on why NYU just to try and vary it a little. Also, in the student bulletin on NYU's...

  10. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    ExpatHopeful replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    what email from angela?? I think at that meeting i had she said over 1000 on verbal/math and a 4 or above on writing. That's a fine score and I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you have...

  11. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    ExpatHopeful replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    like sprinklez said - 2 pages in fluid essay form The admissions officer did say though that if it was a couple of sentences over 2 pages that it was not a big deal. However, if it was getting to 2...

  12. Lab draws after IV start

    ExpatHopeful replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our labs recently sent around posters listing the draw order which is what subtle and babs0512 listed. Also they reminded us that all sample tubes need to be inverted several times immediately after...

  13. Do you draw blood of peripheral IVs?

    ExpatHopeful replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    In our hospital we are only allowed to draw blood from a peripheral IV when it is first put in. Once it is in all bloods must come from a separate stick or from a central line (if available). I was...

  14. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    ExpatHopeful replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi All, Just got back from my visit to New Haven and my info session at YSN. In short, I was impressed with YSN but disappointed in New Haven. YSN seems like a really intimate program where the...

  15. NYU Recommendation Letters

    ExpatHopeful replied to ExpatHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was to an Amy Knowles, who is listed on their website as the contact for the office of admissions. She responded very quickly, but only to pass my question along to the Assistant Director of...

  16. NYU Recommendation Letters

    ExpatHopeful replied to ExpatHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks guys, Someone from admissions at NYU finally emailed me back about two weeks later with the answer, which was what missathena said. I had already had to mail them out by then, but whatever.....

  17. Getting some experience

    ExpatHopeful replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think any of those jobs would be a big plus on your resume as they will indicate that you have committed yourself to nursing by already beginning to switch careers and that you have had experience...

  18. General Nursing Question!!!

    ExpatHopeful replied to Tigger2142's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although Ed4LiFe had a lot of good advice to give, I would not recommend doing the above. If your nursing program ever found out that you had lied (yes, lied) by not submitting all of your transcripts...

  19. W's on your transcript..opinions please

    ExpatHopeful replied to hushpupgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have four Ws on mine and am not really concerned at all about them because it was a long time ago and they weren't in biology or anything. Like AtomicWoman I changed majors and I also took a year...

  20. is this common?

    ExpatHopeful replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a CNA on a med-surg ward and I would never say that. In my area the roles overlap but are very different. In fact I would say the opposite, that I want to be a nurse so that I can learn how to do...

  21. Perception of CNM's?

    ExpatHopeful replied to CNM2B's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I admit that before I was interested in nursing as a career I was really hazy on where a CNM was on the continuum of OB/GYNS, lay midwives, doulas etc. I couldn't have told you who they were certified...

  22. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    ExpatHopeful replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome Cindy! Glad to meet another applicant! I too hope we can all meet up at that interview potluck dinner in January. What specialty track are you going for then? I am on a bit of high right now...

  23. Can the teacher fail all of us???

    ExpatHopeful replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you got a 92 and the average was 67 then you're doing pretty well. Now that you know the instructor is prone to try to mislead you, you can watch out for it next time and study not just what she...

  24. Women's Health Nurse Practitioner

    ExpatHopeful replied to Snappz11's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey Snappz11, I'm not a WHNP (although I hope to be) but I worked with some for a year at an outpatient reproductive health clinic. The NPs I worked with were full time or part time and worked 9-5 or...

  25. Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

    ExpatHopeful replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the encouragement - I need it! Glad you found the advice helpful too. I work at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. It's the major hospital in town. Unfortunately I don't get to do...
