  1. It's actually NOT so bad!

    guiltysins replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    I'm only finished wth my first week and I'm not saying that it's easy but I mean I'm not in a fetal position crying my eyes out. With the exception of fundamentals, all of my other nursing courses are...

  2. Medgar Evers RN-BSN, fraud?

    guiltysins replied to grateful2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Well I don't think Medgar Evers needs an agreement with a CUNY Associate degree program because they have their own 2 year associate degree program. It might be one of those things where the program...

  3. Finding the right path

    guiltysins replied to coastiewife's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to depend on your area. Where I live a BSN is becoming preferred but if you can get a job with your associate's I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you plan on going into psych nursing or...

  4. what is the requirement to transfer to the nursing program of hunter or binghamton

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

    Well I can only tell you about Hunter. First their GPA is about 3.5 and higher for a cut off. Secondly you can't transfer directly into their nursing program, you have to be a student in their school...

  5. what if trying your hardest isin't good enough?

    guiltysins replied to nikisashabell's topic in General Students

    I'm a little of the opposite, I'm a good test taker but I'm absolutely paranoid about failing clinicals, which I know most students probably feel. Just hang in there and try to find a method that...

  6. Can a shy student become an effective nurse?

    guiltysins replied to sunshine5889's topic in General Students

    I'm shy as well and today was my first day of class. We were in skills lab and we were using the pulse oximeter on one another and I'm fine with talking to people I don't know but when I professor was...

    guiltysins replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Okay so I had my first day of nursing school was today! Finally! The only class I had today was my nursing fundamentals skills lab. I wasn't sure what we were going to do because none of us have had...

  8. My friends won't be in my study group!

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm definetely going to take a more aggressive approach and not let people borrow my notes when they could and should have taken their own. The last straw for me was last semester in physiology when...

  9. usually, how long into the program do clinicals start?

    guiltysins replied to uglybetty1's topic in General Students

    For mine, the clinical replaces the skills lab. So we have lecture and skills lab for 7 weeks, that class ends and then we have lecture and clinical for the last seven weeks, we actually have them...

  10. Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

    guiltysins replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I don't understand it. People in my program are already making plans for their NP's and stuff and we haven't even started yet! And everyone's always saying, look at master's. I feel like the only one...

  11. usually, how long into the program do clinicals start?

    guiltysins replied to uglybetty1's topic in General Students

    BSN program we start after 7 weeks. However when a program starts clinical doesn't matter as much as how many hours you spend in

  12. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    guiltysins replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    In NYC new grads at the big hospitals make about 37-39 bucks an hour with an extra 2.00 in night diff. These hospitals are looking towards the BSN preferred routes however and with most BSN programs...

  13. My friends won't be in my study group!

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the answers and I know my personality probably has a lot to do with it. I'm not a partier so I really won't have to worry about that kind of thing. As far as condemning them too quick? I...

  14. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    guiltysins replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    My program starts clinicals in October, the first seven weeks are skill labs. We don't do med-surg until our third semester however, this semester is

  15. My friends won't be in my study group!

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Thanks and I will. I mean I know it's labor day weekend but you have 6 days to do all of these assignments, none of which they started. They kept telling me at orientation how they hadn't even opened...

  16. It's actually NOT so bad!

    guiltysins replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    Agreed, I mean how many "I'm doing great!" posts do you actually see around

  17. Microbiology problem, 3 credit course OK!?

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

    My school's micro class was only three credits and yes, it did have an attached lab. Most schools are really anal when it comes to that sort of thing so it really depends on what the program feels....

  18. Index cards, how do you make them work for you

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

    I've never been good with handwritten flash cards, but I did find some of the one's that I found online that have the quizzes to be more helpful for certain things, so if anything I will just make...

  19. It's actually NOT so bad!

    guiltysins replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    I think sometimes people forget how far a positive attitude can go. Even when things are downright hard that doesn't mean you have to go out in the backyard and start digging a grave for yourself....

  20. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    guiltysins replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    It's cool! I still laugh when I see my school's commercial because it's SO awfully cheesy, like those videos they show students at orientation. Oh I really hate those though that are all the same "Hi...

  21. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    guiltysins replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    Well...my private university has a TV commercial and we have the highest NCLEX rate in the state for BSN programs. So do not throw everyone into the same category. Some real universities do have tv...

  24. Forget 2nd degree BSN, Go Straight to MSN Nursing? Advice needed

  25. Admissions and Pregnancy

    guiltysins replied to Frozen08's topic in General Students

    They usually don't really consider it a liability from what I've seen. One of my friends was 6 months pregnant when she started. They'll want information like how far along she is so they can figure...
