    Problem is, I've heard from 3 reliable sources that the Pharm exam they give at Columbia Pres (Uptown) is completely different from the one they give at Cornell Pres (Downtown). I mean, we are...

  14. Cornell Presbyterian Pharmacology Exam

    OR, What book did they recommend for study? Also, all they did was recommend a book for study? Did they not even provide you with an outline or study sheet to breakdown the meds? While we all know...

    You know, I was thinking about this thread today while at work. Two of your Cardiologists have come over to NYU Hospital, one a female and the other a male. Are they abandoning ship before it sinks?...
  21. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    That's pathetic. So what's with all the talk of them being a Park Avenue hospital with all the luxuries of a top private institution?
  22. Any veterans who took nursing 112 at BMCC care to chime in and recommend what is the best way to study for the exams that will be administered? I heard that critical thinking is crucial, but can...
