1. I need help with cuny nursing program

   guiltysins replied to sagaji's topic in New York Nursing

   Private schools will run you a little more money but there are no waiting lists typically and they will usually also accept lower GPA's. Don't put your faith into the CUNY system for nursing, the...

2. long island university nursing school

   guiltysins replied to cookie91's topic in New York Nursing

   Once you finish the pre-reqs as long as you have a B- in all of them then yes the HESI is the only thing that determines it. You need a 75 (in every section and overall) to pass. I didn't live on...

3. long island university nursing school

   guiltysins replied to cookie91's topic in New York Nursing

   KEEP ON TOP OF THEM is my biggest advice. Call every month and make sure they do it. If you got in the first time, you'll get in again (there's really no waiting list for the program). How...

4. Think I have a shot at an ICU job coming out of my program?

   guiltysins replied to NursingStudentEMT's topic in New York Nursing

   I think that you may have a chance of getting an ER job just because of the EMS experience which will set you apart from the new grads without that kind of

5. Should men be school nurses? Have you ever heard of any?

   guiltysins replied to ImThatGuy's topic in School

   Me personally I don't see how a male school nurse would be any different from a male doctor or a male nurse in a hospital? If there were issues with comfort all you'd have to do is ask if there were...

   I don't have a problem with online programs, I plan on doing my Master's in education through a distance learning program. The thing is that with nursing I find it a little difficult. If it's for...

7. Need advice on internship vs summer ob/peds

   guiltysins replied to shadowness's topic in New York Nursing

   I'd say do the internship, it'll look great on a resume when you're competing with all the new grads and you maybe even get offered a job for after you graduate. I think it's better just for getting a...

   It's becoming more and more of a reality. They prefer BSN or BSN enrolled nurses and usually the ones getting jobs now with associate degrees are ones with contacts in the hospitals or experience....

9. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

   guiltysins replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York Nursing

   You would need to call the nursing dept but usually they have tests 3-4 times a month on Friday's and Saturday's. You have to register in person for the exam along with a $30 money order/check. You...

    guiltysins replied to StephRN2be's topic in New York Nursing

12. The imporrtance of having a degree in this economy especially In Nursing !!

    guiltysins replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    Nursing is still a good degree to get but I think everyone puts down the other very crucial health professions that usually don't get as much coverage like nursing such as Speech-Language Pathology,...

13. A question about college and RNs who got their GED.

    guiltysins replied to LeeyuhRae's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on how much work you got done with your GED. For me it wasn't a difference at all but that is because I had three years of english, three years of math, two years of science and history...

14. Postpartum nursing vs Mother-Baby nursing.....

    guiltysins replied to Queen2u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think it matters, as long as you have experience within one of those sections I think you will be fine. Try and see if you can eventually get a chance to float to the nurser every now and...

    guiltysins replied to N2NRSING's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone looks foward to wiping butts lol. I just wanted to say that it also depends on the area of nursing you do. If you're in a place like L&D, Psych, Peds you might see less bed...
