  1. RN or RT

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

    RT is actually my backup if I don't get into the nursing program at my school because it's a little less competitive so I will not be shooting you

  2. How far are you willing to commute to work

    guiltysins replied to starbucksnurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't mind long commute if they are a straight ride also depending on the kind of shift you've got. If you're working the night shift I don't think a 1 or 2 hour straight commute would be bad but if...

  3. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

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

    I went straight for my BSN, here are the reasons why: 1. I was straight out of high school when I started so I wasn't in a rush to work. I live from home so I don't have to pay any bills and my...

  4. scared of nursing

    guiltysins replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    Remember you don't have to work in a hospital. My friend is a medical assistant and you couldn't pay her to work in a hospital. There's doctor's offices and clinics which are a little less

  5. I dont like it

    guiltysins replied to megpie83's topic in General Students

    You should definetely finish and maybe it's not nursing you don't like, but the environment? My friend is a med assistant and she has been one for about two years and will never work in a hospital. So...

  6. ADN or BSN??

    guiltysins replied to Sings&Shoots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on where you live. In NYC, the only place you can work with a diploma is a nursing home, you can't even get into a hospital. They're considered lower than CNA's. So it depends on where you...

  7. ? about prerequisites

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

    Every school requires you to complete pre-reqs. Pre-reqs are how you get into the program, if not they would have nothing to base your application on. Pre-reqs include the science classes that prepare...

  8. dissecting cats

    guiltysins replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was lucky, we're not dissecting the cat in our class. Our professor is just going to show us a dissected one already to save us some

  9. Math is killing me!

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

    I say the same thing about statistics. I'll stand there while a patient is crashing and say "I know the probability that you'll survive through

  10. What classes are you taking Spring 2010?

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

    I'm taking Physiology, Developmental Psych II, Organic Chem and Sociology. Then I'm done with my

  11. Applying directly to a Nursing program in NYC?

    guiltysins replied to Scrub2Nurse's topic in New York Nursing

    As the person above listed, only private schools usually allow you direct entry into a nursing program, but that's only if you've completed all of their pre-reqs. For example, if for your degree you...

  12. Evening/Weekend Nursing Classes

    guiltysins replied to Princesskinany's topic in New York Nursing

    Queensborough Community College is the only other CUNY school I'm aware of that has an evening

  13. worried about my microbiogy grade.please help!! I got a B.

    guiltysins replied to snowybee's topic in New York Nursing

    It's only one B, I wouldn't worry about it especially with your A&P grades. Just make sure you stay on top of chem getting a B or higher and you'll be just

  14. CUNY Nusing: Will they look @ my old GPA?

    guiltysins replied to Princesskinany's topic in New York Nursing

    Just so you know, you can't not transfer over credits. It doesn't work that way. You're a transfer student if you went to another college and you have no choice in what grades and classes come or not....

  15. Do Grades Matter? What Kind of Grades Did You Get?

    guiltysins replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Well first of all every school has a different requirement. My school's requirement is that every nursing course has to be passed with a C+ regardless of what your gpa is. For me, I think it comes...

  16. How important is having WORK/VOLUNTEER Experience on your application?

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

    The best time I've learned to do work or volunteer in a hospital is during the summer. Most hospital have some kind of summer program that are aimed towards medical field students and I find it a lot...

  17. ADN or BSN??

    guiltysins replied to Sings&Shoots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually they are not the same paycheck in some areas. In NYC a BSN pays more (not by too much!) at some of the hospitals, so it depends on the area. ADN programs from what I've seen are much more...

  18. Are you allowed to take some nursing courses before applying?

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

    At my school those are all nursing courses, we have the basic A&P, micro, stats, chem but there are no classes like that at all for pre-nursing students. Those are all apart of the professional...

  19. Med Terminology Book

    guiltysins posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay so we're not required to take a medical terminology class for my nursing program, they don't even have a class for it. So I was thinking of maybe buying a book just to have for myself that I can...

  20. Wearing scrubs to clinicals...

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Students

    So I know this is kind of a random thought but of course like all nursing students, you have to have scrubs in the hospital. Now when I'm out I see a lot of people who wear them to the hospital. Am I...

  21. Getting a C in Biology course, should I retake or move on move forward?

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

    I got a C in general bio I and I let it go. I got a C+ in general bio II and I also let that go because I had about five more science classes to go. I got an A- in Inorganic Chem and I'm on my way to...

  22. New RN Graduates

    guiltysins replied to P.Clement's topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately a BS in another field doesn't hold any weight. They only look at the nursing degree so an ASN is just an ASN

  23. Wearing scrubs to clinicals...

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I guess it makes sense because everyone does kind of walk into the hospital from off the street. I guess my thing is just that it's white. I live in NYC which doesn't have the cleanest public...

  24. Getting into a nursing program! need help :(

    guiltysins replied to SMC6787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Chemistry classes are General Chem/Inorganic and then Organic/Biochemistry, so you might need one more chem class and that's it. Unlike other programs a 2.75 isn't just the what they put on the...

  25. NYC area BSN Programs: Everything you ever wanted to know

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    A lot of my friends have actually been failing the exam, especially the vocab part. You have a chance of taking it twice. They say you need a minimum of 75 on each part but if you get a 70+ they will...
