  2. Florida Nurses, please give it to me straight!

    CariocaRN posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm from NY and I'm considering a move to SW Florida (Ft. Myers, Lee County area). I have a BSN but no experience at all other than clinicals. I am triligual if that makes a difference....

  3. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

    CariocaRN posted a topic in General Students

    Being a nurse has been my dream for years. I put my heart into this from day one. I went to clinicals even when I was 9 months pregnant, had my daughter and came back 5 days later to finish the...

  4. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

    CariocaRN replied to CariocaRN's topic in General Students

    I know it has not been easy for anybody. I have a good friend who failed 4th semester twice and she got kicked out literally days before pinning. It was heartbreaking. City Tech is not unorganized in...

  5. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

    CariocaRN replied to CariocaRN's topic in General Students

    Hi! Yes, I appealed through City Tech. Their appeal process takes forever. I was counting myself out, so I had taken the test to get into a LPN program and everything. The waiting was killing me! The...

    OmedRN, I wasn't able to send you a private message here, but I just emailed

  7. Did u guys study the day before your boards?

    CariocaRN replied to joyarenas's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the test on a thursday and the last day I studied was the previous sunday. Still passed after 76 questions. All the topics you are focusing on and scared about might not even be on the test....

  8. School starts tomorrow!

    CariocaRN replied to ctasy's topic in General Students

    Content wise, first semester is really not bad. They will try to get you acclimated to the program and intimidate you/ scare the beejesus out of you. Don't take it personal, that is normal. We all...

  9. Pearson Vue Trick Works!!!

    CariocaRN replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It works for NY State too. Got the good pop-up and then 2 days later paid the $8 to confirm. Yup, RN!!!!

  10. Has anybody here who was a mostly B student in school pass NCLEX the first time?

    CariocaRN replied to student_nurse123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    C student here!! I passed on my 1st try, computer shut off after 76 questions. I only did Kaplan questions and reviewd a couple points. I was also very anxious and expecting the worst but I did it. If...

  11. Double major? Or not....

    CariocaRN replied to amjam's topic in General Students

    I think you will have your hands full with nursing. Once your start nursing school, you can (and should) spend your summers doings nursing externships to gain experience and build your resume. Those...

  12. How do you guys take notes

    CariocaRN replied to nickster10's topic in General Students

    Ask your professor if he/she allows you to record the lecture. About half of them are totally okay with it. That helped me the most. Then you can go home and listen to the audio again and again, or...

  13. One more day till NCLEX! ahhh

    CariocaRN replied to panpan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sending love, prayers and good vibes your way, guys!!! Stay positive, stay calm!! You've done your work and it will pay off!!! You all will be joining the new club...The new RNs of summer...

  14. Passed NCLEX 1st try, 75 questions. How?

    CariocaRN replied to CarmelValley's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Awesome!! :yeah: I also passed after only 75 questions and I have to agree. I was in a panic, but believe me, if you graduated from a good school you will be pleasant surprised with the NCLEX. You...

  15. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey dingdong, I think you can just retake Math 1275. You will probably get an A the second time around since you already took the class, as opposed to Math 1375 which can be harder. I don't think...

  16. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, you can apply before you have your license but you can only take the classes that do not require clinicals (a couple nursing classes in the bachelors program are theory only, no clinicals. You...

  17. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Congrats!!!! I just graduated and Im going back to City Tech for my BSN. Some of the professors who worked there for decades are retiring so the program is changing fast. I wish you the best of...

  18. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Your best bet is to call the nursing dept. and make an appointment so one of the faculty members can take a look at your transcript. If I remember correctly A&P2 and Microbiology are NOT...

  19. Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    CariocaRN replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm finishing up my ASN @ City Tech and you are absolutely right. I've seen so many great students who were kicked out. It's very sad. It's like a boot camp. They only want the best of the best...

  20. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    I took Microbiology in the summer. Yes, it's very fast paced, at the end of every week you will have an exam. To be honest, summer classes are not the best way to retain any information. It's an...

  21. I need legal advice please, dropped from program

    CariocaRN replied to NvRGvUp's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know about a legal case, but can you appeal?? Maybe if you submit a letter from your doctor stating that you were injured and a personal letter pleading your case and explaining everything in...

  22. My first clinical ever is next week..

    CariocaRN replied to courtney.2009's topic in General Nursing

    Review the skills you are expected to perform. YouTube has great little tutorials. I also wrote a step-by-step on my notepad with everything I had to do once I was on the floor. Like for example "1)...

  23. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Do not take the prereqs with the nursing classes!!!! That would be like shooting yourself on the foot! You are allowed to take 2 nursing classes per semester. That's 2x a week in school for lecture...

  24. Students with young kids...how are you handling it?

    CariocaRN replied to brittanywatson's topic in General Students

    I got pregnant while in nursing school. My daughter is now 3 and I'm about to graduate. It's been a daily struggle. I felt a lot of guilt. Guilty if I wasn't spending enough time with her, guilty if I...

  25. medical assistant

    CariocaRN replied to sabita143's topic in General Students

    I totally agree. Some of the medical assistant schools out there claim that you will be earning college credits, but those are very hard to transfer if you decide to go to a "real" school later on. It...
