  1. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    guiltysins replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Bumping this back up to the top since it was such a GREAT thread to read. I'll be adding mine on Sept 7th, which is actually my first nursing lab so I'm sure it'll be very

  2. I go to ITT-Tech...

    guiltysins replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    The trade/tech schools have always been under controversy. If you feel like you are getting an adequate education and have checked things out with the hospitals making them aware you are NOT in an...

  3. Nervous about starting school.

    guiltysins replied to justchill's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone above, everyone is nervous. I've never had a job in my life, so nursing school is the first real hands-on experience at anything I'm going to be doing and I'm petrified. I also...

  4. HESI A2 Entrance Exam Questions

    guiltysins replied to TXRN2B13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes you will still have medical vocab. my school has the same requirements as yours. There were a lot of questions on fractions on the exam I took, there were only about two to three conversion...

  5. Is it possible to earn BSN in 3 years?

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

    It's not even so much about stacking up on courses, but all of the nursing courses follow a sequence, so for example let's say in Fall you are doing all NUR 100 courses, there might only be four...

  6. Ever dream about school?

    guiltysins replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I start in the fall as well and I had one about clinicals. I'm trying to start an IV or something and suddenly the patient just dies, like without me barely touching him! So I freak out and my other...

  7. NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    guiltysins replied to ChristinaG123's topic in General Students

    My school actually has the highest pass rate in the state LOL and it's nowhere near prestigious, in fact it's been dogged on this site a few times. Anyway though, no one else mentioned which you did...

  8. Graduate Nurse starting salary? All feedbacks welcome!

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

  9. First Job

    guiltysins replied to PediLove2147's topic in Pediatric

    I know everyone says Med-surg is where you should start but pediatrics and psych are the only two where I don't see that as necessary. Adult disease aren't the same as child diseases so the only thing...

  10. NYU vs. Hunter

    guiltysins replied to lara177's topic in New York Nursing

    Graduating from NYU won't really give you a leg up from other graduates. My school has the highest pass rate of BSN programs in the state and it's not really prestigous. If you plan on doing your...

  11. Are Doctor's offices hiring more Nurses than hospitals in NY ?

    guiltysins replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in New York Nursing

    There are jobs, they are going to be hard to come by but who knows. The job market might take a swing upward in two years (at least that's what I'm hoping). You justt gotta keep your head up and hope...

  12. Can a PNP work in a hospital setting?

    guiltysins replied to caseyspen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Definetely the children's hospital, but I think it would help if you get certified as an Acute Care PNP and not just a Primary Care PNP, I was actually just looking into this myself but ultimately...

  13. What speciality of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are allowed to perform Abortions?

    guiltysins replied to Samian Q's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's possible that all NP's might be able to do it, but I think a Women's Health NP would be the best fit for

  14. Celebrate Your Fall 2010 Acceptances Here!!!

    guiltysins replied to starmickey03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance for my BSN program back in the beginning of April, I was just trying to survive the rest of this semester which is why I didn't see this earlier LOL. But now that I know I...

  15. Playing Basketball at College while Studying to be a Nurse, Good or Bad Idea?

    guiltysins replied to iwanttobeanurse33's topic in General Students

    Clinicals are sort of like hospital internships, for 1-2 days a week and can be anywhere from 6 to 12 hours in a day depending on what school you go to. They're based on what you learn in the attached...

    guiltysins replied to ChristinaG123's topic in General Students

    Be advised that the Hillman Scholarship award may effect your eligibility for other financial aid. Also for all not planning to live on campus I would advise you to come to the city first before...

  17. Are for-profit nursing schools(U of Phoenix, Chamberlain)good or bad?

    guiltysins replied to CNL2B's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Though not all school have clinicals set up or contracts with hospitals, especially if you're doing MSN programs, usually they want you to find your own preceptor but in any case they do...

  18. Are all L&D/Post-Partum units like this?

    guiltysins replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not all hospitals are like that. Unfortunately you got the unlucky pick of having two bad ones, sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with both. Maybe you can consider a birthing center or a...

  19. Attn: All liu-brooklyn bsn students and recent grads

    guiltysins replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    If you get accepted and pass the HESI then from what I know you are guaranteed a seat for Fall 2010. There are still a lot of opening in the nursing courses because people are not passing the HESI...

  20. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    guiltysins replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York Nursing

    Good luck, also make sure that you study and take the HESI early, a lot of people put it off till last minute or didn't study and did poorly and had to wait an extra semester or go

  21. NYU Accel. BSN Fall 2010

    guiltysins replied to McSweetiepie's topic in New York Nursing

    Congrats to all of you guys. My friend is still weighing the options, she got into the tradition program as a transfer and her acceptance to our current school is pending her HESI results. The cost is...

    guiltysins replied to Vitamin Sea's topic in New York Nursing

    Their pass rate on the NCLEX for the Queens location is 91.5% and the pass rate for Staten Island is 84.6%. For some reason the NYS website hasn't changed the name of the program

    guiltysins replied to starlette926's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey guys, I've just been following your posts and I feel for all of you. I don't go to this school but I start my nursing program in the Fall as well so I'm pulling for all of you guys. If I had to...

  24. Corning community college - no wait list, got in with a 3.4

    guiltysins replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually don't let the graduation rate fool you. I go to a four year university that has a very rigorous nursing program but easy acceptance. About 120-150 start and only about 80-90 really graduate....

  25. NYU Accel. BSN Fall 2010

    guiltysins replied to McSweetiepie's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure if NYU sends out acceptance letters for all of their programs at the same time but my friend just received her acceptance letter on Saturday for the traditional BSN program so I'm...
