  1. Parents at Orientation

    guiltysins replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    I thought nursing orientation was only for students. I have never heard of a parent going before and why would they? I mean usually a student is a junior or sophomore at least before they have nursing...

  2. Need a Nursing School Review Thread!!!

    guiltysins replied to carrie42's topic in General Students

    I also agree that I don't think it's a good idea. A lot of students become very angry with their nursing programs and while sometimes they aren't the best, they make the students that are already...

  3. GPA

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

    Having a science or liberal arts degree doesn't really make a difference. The only difference is that a science degree applicant has probably knocked out a few pre-reqs where a liberal arts one...

  4. Beth Israel Nursing School NYC

    guiltysins replied to Shana J's topic in New York Nursing

    I've been following this board for a while and I'm not going to either but I do know some people in both and I figured I'd reply. PBISN definetely has the better reputation of the two but I think you...

  5. Anyone took Philosophy- intro to Ethics???

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

    I took Philosophy and ethics. It wasn't exactly hard to me, I had to take two classes of it and got A's in both. The main focus of the class is of course what is morally right and what is morally...

  6. Suny Downstate RN to BSN Program

    guiltysins replied to CherryERRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you have to take the nursing mobility exam. It counts as 27 credits toward the degree. All your pre-reqs must be done before starting the program....

  7. Those of you who understand chemistry well

    guiltysins replied to ccjus123's topic in New York Nursing

    I think that they might be the same thing, you'd have to check into that though. I took General Chemistry for Health Science majors which was a lot different from the other General Chemistry class. I...

  8. Necessities for Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to ashlee0511's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate when schools wait till the last minute for that kind of stuff. They will probably send it to you, if not you might have to wait until orientation. Either way though, the common things that I...

  9. Please tell me if this schedule is too much

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

    I think it's a good schedule. Especially if you can get out of working and fully dedicated to your classes. I've got class from 12-5:00 on Tue & Thurs and then Friday from 9-2, which I consider a...

  10. Do you think I'm gonna have a hard time this fall with these classes?

    guiltysins replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you can handle the schedule then you shouldn't be too bad. Just know you'll have a lot of time to dedicate to the classes. It's funny, for everyone doing nursing pre-reqs I find that we all...

  11. Necessities for Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to ashlee0511's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's kinda hard because usually the school gives you a folder or something listing the specific materials that they want you to get since every school

  12. Books you'd recommend for NCLEX-RN practice questions?

    guiltysins replied to jo716's topic in First Year After Licensure

    People have also been passing around this website on this board for awhile as well for review.

  13. Keeping Yourself Motivated...

    guiltysins replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a lot of work but the work reminds me of the fact that I am doing something important. I know a lot of people say that nursing isn't a big deal but nursing school is about the most important...

  14. Am I too old??

    guiltysins replied to kimbo11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, I don't think you're ever too old to go back to school. If it's something you really want to accomplish then there's no reason not to. You can become a nurse and at least get about 10-15...

  15. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    guiltysins replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I agree but according to the OP he says he can make 125K in nursing where he is. I think I need to move

  16. BSN "Specializing in an area"

    guiltysins replied to twinjeep97's topic in General Students

    You can only become specialized in an area after you get a Master's Degree or some kind of certification within that area. There are no BSN degrees that offer a specialization, they just teach you...

  17. AA in THEATRE... I want my BSN!

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

    Oh well then it shouldn't take you too long to do the required sciences. When you go to a new university they only use your GPA as an entrance so they will count as the university requirements but...

  18. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

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

    All but about 6 or 7 people in my chem class was nursing majors. I wasn't surprised because this is a chem class specifically for health professions. When I took general bio there were only about...

  19. Suggestions appreciated :)

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

    I don't think you'll find many CNA opportunities in hospitals in NYC and if you did they definetely would not be in the fields you listed. Most jobs are nursing homes or homecare. I think CNA is the...

  20. Working With An AA Degree While In RN-BSN Program??

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

    It's very possible. In fact you might want to do your RN-BSN bridge online so you'll have more of a free schedule to work. Anytype of nursing experience helps, including internships as long as you get...

  21. AA in THEATRE... I want my BSN!

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

    The school won't care about your old GPA once you are in for pre-nursing. It won't extend your program for your BSN, you'll be like a student who hasn't gone to college at all so it would take you the...

  22. What's a good reason to quit nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to none the wiser's topic in General Students

    You are not the first person to not like geriatrics. In fact most nursing students say that is the last place they want to work. That's not a bad thing. I would say try to make it through the semester...

  23. What should I do about schooling???

    guiltysins replied to Nutmeg524's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is nothing wrong with doing diploma and then finishing your BSN bridge online. Though there are plenty of schools besides UofP. It's really the only way to get out of school quickly and start...

  24. What should I choose as a major?

    guiltysins replied to ReeSeS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well if you want to work with children you'd have to do pediatrics and then work your way into oncology. I think that would be easier than doing it reverse. If you want to work with newborns you would...

  25. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    guiltysins replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

    I have to wear white too and I actually never thought about any of this. I think the uniforms we have to wear aren't something you can see through. How crazy is it that they want us to wear white in a...
