  1. What is the job market like for Nursing right now?

    guiltysins replied to wally12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well here in NYC, there's only about a $1500 difference in pay between ADN and BSN Nurses, however BSN is the "preferred" degree among a lot of hospitals and some externships are now requiring that...

  2. Seeking advice second career

    guiltysins replied to dimechic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There really isn't many downsides to getting an Associates but it depends on the area. Some will prefer Bachelor's but honestly if an associates is the only possible way you could do it then I would...

  3. Failed Nursing. LPN or keep trying to get back into RN?

    guiltysins replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    I would suggest the LPN because for a lot of schools, its not the GPA they are really looking at but the fact that you failed out so they may not accept you whether your GPA is high or not. I don't...

  4. Starting Nursing Classes in Summer/Fall 2010: All Programs

    guiltysins posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I know that most of us are going to different schools but I figured it would be kinda cool to start one of these threads specific to people that are doing programs in NY. This has been done in other...

  5. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    guiltysins replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    Not for a undergrad they don't, they only offer Master's degrees and

  6. just finished my first quarter :(

    guiltysins replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Do you know why you got a C? Were your grades on the verge of a C or were they much higher and it seems like it just jumped down a grade or so? Either way I would discuss it with the professor so you...

  7. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    guiltysins replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    I chose a private college for the reasons already listed. It is about 26K a year and about 18 of that is covered in financial aid, the "free" kind, the school has been very generous with my financial...

  8. Phillips Beth Israel Applicants

    guiltysins replied to starlette926's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm still spying on you guys lol and I don't think any nursing program allows sneakers. They have to be white nurse shoes lol. That's what my school says and we can't even wear crocs so kind of tennis...

  9. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    guiltysins replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't go to Pace but for most nursing programs in general, one you are kicked out/dismissed from a program they will not even allow you to reapply for the nursing program and you will find...

  10. New York-Presbyterian Colombia Hospital

    guiltysins replied to Nurse McDreamy's topic in New York Nursing

    My dad works at NY Presbyterian-Columbia, has for 14 years. He's not a nurse so I don't know much about them but the salary for nurses is around 73-74K a year and they are apart of a union. There are...

  11. No jobs for new graduates ? Do you regret going to Nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in New York Nursing

    I haven't graduated yet but even if the market is rebounded by then I will just try hard to find a job in it. I don't think there is any career personally that guarantees jobs anymore and even though...

  12. Mount Sinai, New Grads

    guiltysins replied to CharmedJ7's topic in New York Nursing

    I think it's a little weird that they wouldn't have a spot on the application for volunteer experience since most resumes include that. I'm not a new grad but when I do I won't have anything to put on...

  13. I'll be you in a year!

    guiltysins replied to Lovelymo79's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agreed with the person above do you know if the fact that you are in a Diploma program is effecting your chances at getting nursing externships? A lot of the nurse externships here in New York only...

  14. My school's program was written by a monkey

    guiltysins replied to simplebliss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you don't have to take chemistry but need a college chemistry for micro? Hah that is brilliant! They might as well make chemistry a freakin requirement, they aren't saving you

  15. ADN or BSN

    guiltysins replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for the BSN if you're not in a need to get out and work ASAP. Everyone wants to finish school as soon as they can but some people really need to work. If you're one of those people who won't suffer...

  16. For Profit Colleges?

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    There are a few threads in the NY section about the Monroe College LPN program From what I can see it's not that easy to get into as you have to take two exams, of course this was last year so things...

  17. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    guiltysins replied to European's topic in General Students

    Thank you carolinapooh! Going back to the original post though. For me, the process of getting accepted seems more stressful and difficult than pre-nursing and nursing LOL! But I didn't find pre-reqs...

  18. Pre-requisites for A&P and Microbiology?

    guiltysins replied to AlexS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to brush up on some human biology if its possible. Maybe get something like a for-dummies book so you're not going in completely unprepared. Some people might say you should take a...

  19. what was your gpa when you applied?

    guiltysins replied to mik510's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Overall: 3.6 (before my spring grades, now it's a 3.55) Pre-reqs: 3.7 However my school only focuses on the overall so the 3.6 is what got counted. I get accepted before my spring grades were in....

  20. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

    guiltysins replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like good ole notebook with colorful pens. If I need to study for an exam then sometimes I will type up my notes into a study sheet but I really need them written. For one no way in heck I feel like...

  21. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    guiltysins replied to European's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse yet so I can really only go off of other things I've heard and read on this board but a lot of nurses actually don't think the pay is decent for the amount of work they do. What...

  22. Have anyone ever attended two colleges at once?

    guiltysins replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    You can take a course at a different college while attending another but you cannot be matriculated at two colleges (enrolled in a degree program). However you would still need to make sure the school...

  23. What is a hat party and how do I get more information?

    guiltysins replied to samyaira's topic in General Students

    I don't know what a hat party is, but if it is what you said then it is different from a pinning ceremony. For one, at most pinning ceremonies now a days you don't wear scrubs and I don't think anyone...

  24. How often do you get drug tested?

    guiltysins replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    There was another post about this around the board somewhere else so I don't think its fair to assume someone is asking just to try and get around them. They might be asking because their program...

  25. What is the job market like for Nursing right now?

    guiltysins replied to wally12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it's a good thing I'm not going into this profession for the job security. Jobs are tough but honestly, it would cost me more money to get a degree in something else which I'd probably have to go...
