  3. VERY UPSET!! Are all programs like this??

    guiltysins replied to CaringKate's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not in my professional phase of nursing so I can't tell you if all schools do it. But the fact that more than half of the nursing class has to repeat a semester sounds pretty

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

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

    I'm officially starting Fall as well. Just got my HESI results so I'm good to go. Here's my schedule: Total 16 credits Nursing Foundations: 9-11:50AM (7 weeks) Mon & Wed Nursing Foundations Lab:...

  7. NYC average RN Salary

    guiltysins replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    I definetely agree that it's not the right pay for the kind of job but to say that it's not enough to live in NYC is just inaccurate. Nurses everywhere are underpaid but I think 70K is fine for the...

  8. ++Should I transfer from La Guardia Community College!?!?

    guiltysins replied to European's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If you know you're going to be on a waiting list I say go for the Bachelor's. By the time you get off the waiting list you could be almost done. Depending on how many pre-reqs you have (since...

  11. Would love to start working in L&D or mother/baby

    guiltysins replied to whit2980's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's depressing to have experience but then be told it's not the right kind of experience. In my area new grads can be hired into mother/baby and sometimes in L&D (a little less common though)....

    guiltysins replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

  13. does this bother anyone else?

    guiltysins replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is anything wrong with asking someone what kind of questions or even asking for an example of the kind of question that might be asked. Can it really ever be considered cheating? I...

  14. How many times can your heart break in one week? (sorry, very long!)

    guiltysins replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    The one about the two kids in peds made me angry. Even if both of them couldn't stay, at least one of them I think would have been able to stay, even if it were just for the day or just for the night,...

  15. Jobs during Nursing school/ How do you afford this??

    guiltysins replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Students

    I start nursing school this fall and don't plan to work. I'd have trouble working anyway because financial aid literally has me in a choke hold. They are paying entirely for my school and the only...

    guiltysins replied to SAHMStudent's topic in Pediatric

    A lot of people in my school actually disliked peds for the fact that they had to see sick children. LOL foaming at the mouth, that's how it usually is. People are itching to get in but once they have...

  19. Curious high school student

    guiltysins replied to chaquana's topic in General Nursing

    Though I don't go to this school pre-reqs simply mean "classes you have to take before something else". So for example in High School you can't take Spanish II until you've taken Spanish I, things...

  22. Not sure hospital is right for me. HELP! Curious about jobs outside the hospital

    guiltysins replied to knufflebunny's topic in General Nursing

    Getting into the NICU is not impossible, sometimes they do take new grads. You shouldn't base your like or dislike for the hospital on the med/surg. Mostly no one likes med/surg LOL. Go through your...

    guiltysins replied to MidniteLaborRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good Luck! You keep coming back so it seems like something you really want to do, even if the high intensity and patient/nurse ratio seem to scare you. I was thinking about possibly doing L&D...
