  1. How many students does NYU bsn program accept? and is it hard to get into?

    guiltysins replied to KBOSTON's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU accepts a large number of students. I think over 100, like most of the private schools. I think your GPA would have to be at least something like a

  2. Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    guiltysins replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    To the two people that mentioned LPN and nursing grades of C or higher, the problem is not necessarily her transcript, it's the fact that she was dismissed from a nursing

  3. Dear future nursing students,

    guiltysins replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    Well I fall into one category which is the non-working one. I'm sorry if you have to work through nursing school but I'm fortunate enough to not. Sounds like a typical case of jealousy to me and...

  4. Please tell me your typical week in nursing school....

    guiltysins replied to Addy3's topic in General Students

    In my instance, the classes are pretty much always at the same times each year so I had an idea of what I wanted. Some schools have the schedule of nursing classes viewable on their website, of course...

  5. How many consecutive 12-hour shifts do you consider safe?

    guiltysins replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've seen, there's a difference it seems between people who work days and people who work nights. My dad works IT at a hospital nights and he does 3 12's and 1 4hr shift all back to back, he...

  6. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    guiltysins replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    For me personally, I don't have a problem with networking, but you can't network before you even start volunteering. If she had done this a month, maybe two months in, then sure, but not on the first...

  7. Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    guiltysins replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    You can't apply to college as a freshman. It is just simply impossible. If you went to a trade school (ie: Lincoln Tech or something like that), then yes you can but for one, you wouldn't be able to...

  8. Please tell me your typical week in nursing school....

    guiltysins replied to Addy3's topic in General Students

    I'm going to start my 2 years of actually nursing classes in fall. Took three years to get all the pre-reqs done. Mon: Nursing Fundamentals from 9-12 (1st 7 weeks of semester), Geriatric Nursing from...

  9. I pay for these classes and these people won't shut up

    guiltysins replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was a whole table of girls who wouldn't stop talking, cheated off eachother ect. I was paying about $3500 for my anatomy class. I never said anything to them, they weren't worth the trouble and...

  10. A little help, how competitive are.....

    guiltysins replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful, if you are getting 60 credits without an actual associate's degree there is no guarantee all of your pre-reqs and what not will transfer. You also have to make sure the school doesn't...

  11. Need few suggestions on what to do before I start my Nursing program?

    guiltysins replied to MSHAH647's topic in General Nursing

    Check to see if your school has a book list for the program, they should by now and you can either order your books early and look over them. Or you can start reviewing some medical

  12. What are you taking your first semester Summer/Fall 10

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Students

    For those of us who have been accepted and have registered or are going to register for classes, I thought it'd be interesting to see what we're all taking the first semester in your program. I'm in a...

  14. Trying to make a decision! LPN? RN?

    guiltysins replied to TMS1980's topic in General Students

    Agree with the person above. It depends on where you live and what you want to be doing. Where I am LPN's don't usually get hired in hospitals and make about $10 or less than RN's

  15. HESI test questions help for nursing acceptance in program

    guiltysins replied to CrazyforBenLinus's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    People in my program found it difficult and a lot of them have been failing the 75% that is required. For math, I didn't find any of it difficult. There is a computer calculator which works fine and...

  16. HESI

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

    Most programs have a policy for retaking the exam. For my school it was you can only take it once a semester, so if you didn't pass you had to wait for the next semester to take it again. Well...

  17. I wanted to know the salary of LPN before taxes in New York?

    guiltysins replied to RngirlBsn2021's topic in New York Nursing

    You definetely won't make 80, that is an RN salary in NYC. You can make about 40K as a LPN, remember of course this is before taxes so you won't bring home nearly as much with the taxes in

  18. I am excited and terrified at the same time.

    guiltysins replied to tdom7444's topic in General Students

    I'm starting in the Fall and I'm in the same position. I'm so excited and so ready to go but it's scary. I feel like I'm going to forget stuff because it's so much information. Don't even get me...

  19. I Want To Quit

    guiltysins replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    You might want to look into a BS in Health Care Administration if there are any schools in the area with this kind of major. My school has a lot of health profession programs. They have a BS in Health...

  20. What are you taking your first semester Summer/Fall 10

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Wow a C is an 80??? Our policy is a C+ which is around a 75. You have to retake the class and get a B = 80 or higher if you repeat a course. I wish I could lighten my load but our program doesn't...

  21. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

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

    LOL same here, I already picked out my classes so I'm really starting to go crazy! I had an early registration date (because I have over 60 credits) so I got to pick from all the classes. The only...

  22. HESI

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

    Be sure to also look at some basic medical terminology and practice conversion problems. You also might want to look at some SAT grammar as well. In the HESI book, pay attention to the vocab they give...

  23. OBs doing unnecessary C-Sections and inductions

    guiltysins replied to a_wallace4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's crazy, one of the women at my sister's job had her c-section date picked out, and she was only 3 months pregnant! There was a story on the news about two months ago about this and how it's really...

  24. I got fired.

    guiltysins replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    If they didn't think you were a right fit for the floor and shoudl have been on another one first then why did they hire you in the first place? It's a shame to hear you got fired. Don't feel bad...

  25. NYC Nursing and Student Debt!

    guiltysins replied to handsomelatin8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could try going to a public college in NYC. It's cheap but very competitive. While the private schools are more expensive but you have a better chance of getting into one of their nursing program....
