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

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

    LIU Brooklyn Campus. The requirements are a 2.75 overall gpa and a 2.75 science GPA and at least a 75 on the HESI Entrance exam. I think also Molloy and Adelphi will take you if you can somehow bring...

  2. Is this True?

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

    This is not true in New York State. If you look at the NYS nursing license requirements for LPN it says you must have be a graduate of an approved program. http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursing.htm Not...

  3. Opinion: Your thoughts on the BEST BSN program out there?

    guiltysins replied to calliern3711's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's pretty hard to give an opinion on what the best BSN program would be. Some people can think there program is the best while others may have never even heard of the school before. Besides...

  4. New York Presbyterian

    guiltysins replied to RNFromNY's topic in New York Nursing

    My dad works at NYP: Columbia Presbyterian and he said he heard that people with a BSN or enrolled in a BSN program were "preferred". I'm not positive of how accurate this is but it isn't the first...

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

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

    My school also only looks specifically at grades and the entrance exam. There's no interview, no personal statement, nothing. They don't even really acknowledge resume's or anything. However, I still...

  6. Help! Paying For NS?

    guiltysins replied to FazzDazzle's topic in General Students

    One of the things that helped me was that my mom didn't qualify for the parent's plus loan, so my school actually gave me the unsubsidized loan that Independents get, along with the Subsidized loan...

  7. How much is too much for student loans?

    guiltysins replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Students

    When I graduate I will have about 28-30K in debt for my BSN but I'm not really all that worried about it. All of my loans are federal loans which give you a six month waiting period after you graduate...

  8. Young Nursing Students

    guiltysins replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    I start next Fall and I'm 20 so I'll be about 22 when I graduate with my BSN. I'm not the youngest though but I think my program is half and half. Some are over 30 and a lot of us are in the 20-25...

  9. Health Science Class

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

    That sounds like a class in my nursing program called Med Calculations. From what I'm told it focuses on conversions and drug dosaging. Ounces to pounds, liters to Milliliters. I don't think you'll...

  10. how many classmates dropped in your first semester?

    guiltysins replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    Though I'm not in the program, I hear about 1/4 or so usually drop out/kicked out/failed in the first semester from my friends. I wouldn't say the first semester of nursing is easy because every...

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

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Okay then you'll only need that class and you can take your HESI anytime within the Spring Semester. It's best to get it out of the way by Jan or Feb. They don't count the science portions and you...

  12. 1st year nusing student - what exactly is clinicals

    guiltysins replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    Jesus christ you guys are freaking me out now

  13. Do you REALLY learn in on-line classes?

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

    I'm not taking online classes but my sister is and for some classes it's pretty simple for her, but classes such as English and Psych are extremely long because papers are due every two weeks. Not...

  14. NLN/HESI A2 Exam

    guiltysins replied to miche22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have to take all parts of the HESI? My school only requires the Math, English, Grammar and Vocab. The math in the guide is the SAME math on the test but focus more on conversions then the...

  15. Good study guides for HESI A2

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

    I have to take those four parts only

  16. Good study guides for HESI A2

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

    I have this book and people said it didn't help on the vocab part. I thought the test in the back seemed pretty good, but I haven't taken the test yet so I'm not completely

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

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    You'll have to take the entrance exam first which is given about three times a month. Then you register for classes. You have to do ALL pre-reqs and general education requirements (About 22 classes if...

    As far as tution: Fall and Spring Semesters are: $18,293.00 each Summer is: $13,000 The 18 month program is two springs, one fall and one summer, so total tution for the entire program is...

  19. Pre-Nursing students what has been

    guiltysins replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree micro lab is the best but I enjoy Anatomy lab as well, it's very interesting. Micro is crazy though, especially after you see your grown cultures from swabbing things like the desk, your...

  20. Micro after Bio or after Chem?

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

    I think it depends on the way it's taught at every college. Last semester I had Bio and Chem and I took micro this semester. Nothing from either class has helped me much in the subject, but it might...

  21. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    guiltysins replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I'm nervous about it to. I don't take it till Jan but my friends who took it this semester have been flunking the vocabulary section left and right (you need a 75% or higher in each section and they...

  22. Pre-Nursing students what has been

    guiltysins replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Human Anatomy for sure, I still have to take Intro to Organic/Biochemistry and I'm sure that will be a hell of a class but Anatomy for right now. Micro is really easy for me but I think it's because...

  23. ASN or BSN when trying to ultimately get MSN to be CRNA

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

    I say apply for both, then that way if you do get into the ASN, you can always apply to an accelerated BSN/MSN program later on which is usually only 18 months or less so you're not really taking up...

  24. Hey PreReq-ers, how is Fall Semester going so far?

    guiltysins replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right now all of my classes are doing fine. I'm pulling A's in all of them (Micro, Stats and Development Psych) except for Anatomy which is somewhere between a B+ and an A-. I failed the first test...

  25. Were you CPR certified before you applied?

    guiltysins replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CPR licensing from what I know is required by all schools before clinical courses AT LEAST. Mine require it before you can take any nursing
