  1. Clueless and Excited!

    guiltysins replied to countrygirl1987's topic in General Students

    Grants and Loans, that's pretty much the reason I'm able to go to school. Unfortunately the downside of that is that I can hardly work even during the summer months because if I make enough money to...

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

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you, even though the LIU discussion a few posts down gives a whole different view on what they think LIU is. I'm not going to call them liars because maybe they have gone through hell but...

  3. Nursing School Question- Entry Level, BSN, MSN

    guiltysins replied to jas_tea's topic in General Students

    I agree with the first response. If Master's is a no go then an accelerated BSN would be best. At most it's usually 15-18 months (some including the science pre-reqs). You don't need any health care...

  4. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    guiltysins replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    For me it's not about the calling, I don't have a calling to be a nurse. I just always wanted to work in a medical field and nursing interested me most. What gets me is nursing is kind of a weird...

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

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry for the double posting but I didn't want to make that message scroll forever. I also attended Lehman College for a year before transferring out. I haven't heard too many good things about Lehman...

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

    guiltysins replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Long Island University (current student): Tuition varies by the amount of credits you take. The more credits you take the higher the tuition but it's between 22k-30k. There are some good professors...

  7. Last year of pre-reqs, anyone else getting anxious.

    guiltysins posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my last year of pre-reqs and I'm so anxious to get it done and over with. I think part of the reason I'm feeling like this is because this year I'm taking all the big nursing pre-reqs like...

  8. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    guiltysins replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on you and whether you feel that you'll be able to fully concentrate with your laptop in front of you. Would you be distracted and start surfing the net ect. Also how well your...

  9. HESI A2 Nursing Entrance Exam study helps online FREE

    guiltysins replied to bmr7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! I don't take the test until Jan or Feb but I need to brush up on my

  10. how do you find attrition rates for schools?

    guiltysins replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here are the NCLEX pass rates from 2002-2007

  11. how long did it take you, to finish up all pre-req?

    guiltysins replied to Mommy Of Two 87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, our school requires all general ed to be done anyway but my first nursing semester is 5 classes and 15 credits, I couldn't imagine taking something like an english class or whatever with all...

  12. Ok now I KNOW I've lost my mind :)

    guiltysins replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL the first step to recovery, is admitting you have a problem

  13. how long did it take you, to finish up all pre-req?

    guiltysins replied to Mommy Of Two 87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me 3 years. It could have been two if I would have done summer. Though I did transfer schools so that set me back about 3 classes. Plus my school requires all college requirements, not just...

  14. Do you have any other options?

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

    If not nursing then I would have done another healthcare related field. I was leaning towards physician assistant or respiratory therapist. I know some people would say if you don't get in keep...

  15. Ok now I KNOW I've lost my mind :)

    guiltysins replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that's a bad thing. I only applied to four nursing programs and two were schools I really didn't want to go to so technically I only applied to two. Thankfully I got into one but after I...

  16. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

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

    It definetely makes sense. I know what it's like having an advisor like that. They told me that when I met with my advisor the first semester to take a planned out mini-schedule so they could see what...

  17. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

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

    I understand that you need money for books and I'm guessing the check you're talking about is because your amount exceeds the cost of tuition, I was in the same situation but technically they are not...

  18. There are still a lot of good people in this world

    guiltysins replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's great to hear things like that. I actually shared my chem book for the whole semester with the person that sat next to me. The first day she asked but after that I just kept doing it without her...

  19. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    guiltysins replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose the school that I go to because it was close to where I lived, I've heard some good things about the program and out of the schools in my area, it was easier to get into than a few of the...

  20. Pre Reqs - How to fit them all in?

    guiltysins replied to SarahNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Pre-reqs are a pain aren't they. I can't say anything about NYU's program but for my four year program the pre-reqs, especially the science ones, actually made it more than 4 years. You could either...

  21. Hospitals in Brooklyn

    guiltysins replied to Lilia7's topic in New York Nursing

    List of Brooklyn Hospitals: Brooklyn Hospital Brookdale Hospital Maimonides Medical Center Downstate Medical Center Long Island College Hospital My friend got a job at Methodist last year after doing...

  22. Question about CUNY schools

    guiltysins replied to pigmachine's topic in New York Nursing

    I know how you guys feel, for me it just wasn't worth it. I went to Lehman College for a year and it was just ridiculous. First I had to take a block schedule (premade schedule for you) and I couldn't...

  23. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

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

    When I first started college I had a 2.2, I had failed statistics. I transferred to a new college and the classes did come with me, but not the grades. Any grades that were lower than a C didn't...

  25. Are NCLEX passing rates misleading??

    guiltysins replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Students

    i do and it annoys the crap out of me how they're like "i'm gonna switch to nursing cause i don't wanna take the pcat or i don't wanna take organic chem or it's easy there's no competition" so when...
