Hello I'm a new grad as well moved to Florida due to losing my home in NY to hurricane sandy and I have been having a hard time finding a job here on the west coast. As soon as I applied to certain hospitals they send me an email back right away I don't qualify. It's so frustrating!!!! This is ridiculous!!! They all ask for experience as an RN but no one wants to give it to you! I have had one interview but when I called to follow up (4 times) after the fourth time they gave me the excuse that they didn't have any preceptors. -_-smh What does that mean? That all your nurses that work there are not experienced!!! Sorry venting :/ Good luck to you! Hopefully you have a better experience than I'm having!

I would just finish out and get your associates. Like you said you can work while getting your BSN. I am doing the same. After I get my associates I'm signing up with Lamar university online and there clinical is you working, you can get your BSN in 13 weeks. Good luck on whatever you choose.

I am in my last semester of school and I use ATI, I know about saunders, but what is Hurst. Please if you can tell me where I can find this. Thank you Olivera

If you do write about that please post so we can read I know it would be a great learning experience:D

It is all up to you and your study habits. Everyone studies differently. I find my iPhone helps out a lot with meds and medical terms. Once you start you will find the best way for you. Advise from me don't stress, don't leave things for last minute and breathe. Good luck!

Sorry to tell you the truth I love my children and I don't see them as pets. What I do see is me making an easier life for them when I'm done with nursing school. The best thing about it is that all my children sit with me and study as well ( the older ones), and the younger ones try to read even if they don't even know the letters. So it's not treating our children like pets but only making a better life for them. Oh, by the way I have six children so I do deserve some help from family which I hardly get. My best help is my husband, my 16year old son and 17 year old daughter. Point being, when and if you need the help ask for it. You are not hurting anyone but yourself when you don't finish what you have started.

Suffolk County Community College Nursing program has it as a recommended link on their website Awsome site I have learned a lot and met very good people.

Sorry I don't agree with AyvasMom. Last year I started my pregnancy in the Spring semester and had my baby in the Fall semester. Classes where Monday, Wednesday. I was taking Micro in the fall went to the hospital on Sept. 15th which was a Tuesday, missed Wednesday class and went right back to class the following Monday. My boy was only a week old. if you talk to your professors they will help you and make it work so you don't miss your final. Oh, by the way I also had class on Sunday, which luckly the professor took off that Sunday. Not to mention I have five other kids. So if I can do it, (have a baby and take care of five others and still make it to school) anyone can do it. Just a word of advise, pace yourself, and definetly have family and your better half take up alot of the household chores including taking care of the newborn. Good Luck! Congrats on baby, they are such a joy. (when they are not crying) LOL:D

I am using ATI is required by my school. I also have found helpful because I have an iPhone and they also have an app. that has all test questions. Pretty cool:smokin:

It's true that you would save money, but what if you get a low grade on the CLEP and have to take the class now, tey still look at your CLEP score. I believe that is why they don't recommend it, because it won't look good when you apply. If you feel confident enough why not take it, all they can tell you is they don't recommend it but it is still your choice if you want to take them. More power to you! I know I wouldn't even try, it is easy to get an A in class their is room to improve your grade throughout the semester, but with CLEP the grade you get you have to live with. Good Luck!

Monters, I believe that they except Clep from ENG 101 and PSY 101, I don't know about MAT007 and I defenitly do know not CHEM100 You can call admissions and they can send you some info 631-451-4000 hope this helps Good Luck!

Sorry Islandgurlie that I have not answered been busy yes all A's except for ENG 101 got a B+, BIO 244 I took after I applied and I got a B in that one. RpmSteve no you don't need Micro to apply but if your grades are low in your other classes this will help you get in easier if you have it before you get into nursing. And taking a Nursing class with Micro is very hard that's why they recommend that you take Micro before Nursing. Congrats on your acceptance. Isn't it exciting

Is that your last pre req? And are you taking it at suffolk? If it is last pre req than what are you waiting for apply. If you are taking it in suffolk just go fill out change of emphasis at admissions. GOOD LUCK!

If you are not attending Suffolk and have all your pre-reqs then all you have to do is apply online and state your major but if don't have pre-reqs than you have to apply to Liberal Arts Science
