  1. Preceptorships?

    guiltysins posted a topic in New York Nursing

    So I know all NY nursing programs are different so everyone might have a different answer but how exactly do preceptorships work? I know they're usually in the last semester of senior year but does...

  2. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming they aren't, I mean maybe the intensity took them by surprise but I've been on this forum for a year reading about other programs so none of these things take me by surprise. I'm just...

  3. Curious..What classes were in everyone's first semester?

  4. Best Facility to Work in New York for New Grads

    guiltysins replied to simplyashley21's topic in New York Nursing

    Definetely agreeing with what the top two said. However though, if the economy does get better and employment is not such a scarce thing and they lift the hiring freeze, then aim for the teaching...

  5. Did you focus on one school or did u apply to many different programs?

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

    For me I always had a good list of three or four. First I had them chosen for what type of degree. For me I really wanted to do a BSN and any ADN programs were kind of a back up. Pre-reqs were the...

  6. When paying back loans for getting BSN degree

    guiltysins replied to Regisp's topic in General Students

    After graduation for my BSN I will owe about 30K which is considered nothing to most of my classmates. My tuition for four years at my private university is about 100K and that's without living on...

  7. First semester of nursing

    guiltysins replied to babe48076's topic in General Students

    My first semester is in September but everyone's program is different. Look over the courses you registered for. My first semester consists of Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, medical calculations and...

  8. Everyone Starting Nursing Courses Fall 2010

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

    They are the same thing just cover the material differently A&P I/II teach Anatomy and Physiology together. In my school we had Human Anatomy and Human Physiology. They just take the Anatomy parts...

  9. What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    guiltysins replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    I'm not in the program yet but my school also requires drug screening and a background check. I'm kind of hoping it's just a pee test. And I believe that it has to be repeated every semester so I will...

  10. Please COMMENT ...IDK what to do

    guiltysins replied to RENEfromLA's topic in General Students

    I was sort of in the same situation you were. The students from my program said the school was horrible, wouldn't wish it on anyone and such. I even considered not going but then they had stellar...

  11. Undecided

    guiltysins replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    I would aslo say go for it. Reasons why: 1. You don't have anything to lose as you're still in a nursing program for your RN. 2. If you do pass you can get a job and get some experience so when you...

  12. "A" is for Anatomy!!

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

    I'm on the same boat as you. I'm kinda nervous because the Physio professor I have doesn't really have the best review from some of her students. Also my physiology class doesn't have a lab attached...

  13. "A" is for Anatomy!!

    guiltysins posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my grades today and while I got an A in all of my classes, I was really just waiting to see what my Anatomy grade was going to be which was an A. I really had no idea what to do when I saw...

  14. "A" is for Anatomy!!

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

    Alot of studying. I found that the lab exams were much easier than the lecture exams. So if you do happen to get a low grade on one of those exams, make sure to make it up with the lab portion. All of...

  15. Where to start

    guiltysins replied to NC2NYRN's topic in New York Nursing

    manhattan hospitals are easiest to get to from path and they will be easiest to locate on the subway. new york presbyterian by far is the best hospital in the state...

  16. Need some questions answered please!

    guiltysins posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just have a few questions when it comes to OB nursing since there's so many different titles. Ultimately I know I want to do something in the field of OB-GYN. My question is that I know there are...

  17. HELP!!! Nursing schools

  18. Where to start

    guiltysins replied to NC2NYRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you would have much more luck applying directly to the hospitals. Are you in the city or

  19. Experienced Nurses' Attitude Toward New Grad Nurses and Students

    guiltysins replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    I understand what you're saying llg but you have to admit it's a little unfair. It's not the student's fault that they get dumped on the nurses. They pay the school to be trained and educated, so to...

  20. My school uses this textbook for AP1?

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

    I didn't use a textbook at all for A&P. The class had one but we didn't need it because our prof gave very specific notes. It's hard to say what you need and what will work. It depends on how well...

  21. What to do, What to do??

    guiltysins replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be fooled by that 2.5. It's the minimum but for most programs especially community college that is not the case. The community colleges around me say that a 2.75 is the minimum and yet for the...

  22. Please share your experiences! And what type of program should I apply/aim for?

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

    I'd say the accelerated bachelor's would probably be the best idea and even try to look at some accelerated BSN/MSN degrees. These can usually be completed in about 3 years. Some schools don't look at...

  23. Everyone Starting Nursing Courses Fall 2010

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

    My school doesn't have a seperate application for nursing. So when I applied to the school in general, I got in as a pre-nursing student and when you finish all the pre-reqs, you automatically begin...

  24. Do classes only begin in the fall???

    guiltysins replied to ler0719's topic in New York Nursing

    Some schools start in the spring but majority of them only start in the fall you have to do a little fishing around. As far as Farmingdale, I think all of there nursing programs are fall

  25. RN or RT

    guiltysins replied to kltt86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how it is, I went back and forth between RN, RT and Speech Pathology for a long time. Trying to decide whether the specialization was good or bad. The pay wasn't a thing for me since they all...
