  1. First week of school! :-)

    guiltysins replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I have orientation tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous. I'm taking five classes this semester (required sequence for our program). My first day of class is on Tuesday and it's my nursing lab class. I...

  2. First week of school! :-)

    guiltysins replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    Hahah man that is crazy. Small world eh? I don't start until another week (Sept 7th) and I'm freaking out but so excited to get into

  3. ((help help nursing confusion))

    guiltysins replied to barbiie27's topic in New York Nursing

    The associate's is only faster depending on the school that you choose to go to. Some schools have waiting lists and take 3 to 4 years before you get accepted in the program. The bachelor's does take...

  4. What other careers did you consider?

    guiltysins replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I considered every closely relatable health profession. Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Respiratory Therapist. I was pretty much sold on nursing but I wanted to keep...

  5. Well, No Nursing for Me

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    To the OP, based on your last response it seems like you don't have a problem with the exam, moreso that you don't feel you should take an exam that is cumulative. How can you be so sure no other...

  6. No phones at clinical

    guiltysins replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Our program requires us to have some kind of PDA for clinicals, so I guess they must be giving us a crutch. We have to buy the skyskape program because we don't have books specifically for clinicals....

  7. Help help urgent decision making

    guiltysins replied to Tonya7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definetely pick out some schools first. Most schools vary in the classes they want. My BSN program had pre-req classes that a lot of people didn't need like 2 philosophy classes, 4 english classes, a...

  8. They bumped up our minimum passing grade point average...

    guiltysins replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    77 or C+ but we get exit hesi's every semester and passing is an 800 or you go into remediation, regardless of if you pass all

  9. Few jobs for new grads? Help!

    guiltysins replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Where there's a will there's a way. It's true a lot of new grads can't find jobs but some actually do, some get lucky and some are really liked. Don't be scared out of something you want because you...

  11. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    guiltysins replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Well I agree if you could go the cheap route then go the cheap route but waiting two years at least with still no real guarantee would kind of suck wouldn't it? All the cc's in my area are too...

    guiltysins replied to emmafox13's topic in New York Nursing

  13. RNs, does your salary let you live cormfortably?

    guiltysins replied to JonB04's topic in General Nursing

    Most salaries in NYC are around 70-74K a year not including night diff, if you work nights you could make around 80 and this is as a new grad. Some hospitals add on 1,000 a year for every year of...

  14. What is the true future of Nursing 2010 and Beyond?

    guiltysins replied to divagirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm still a student but there is a number of reasons why people get the degrees they get. Some people get Associates because they are cheaper and you can start work faster. Some people do get...

  15. Biting your tongue when it comes to visitors!!

    guiltysins replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in my mom's room plenty of times when she was in the hospital. I was usually pretty quiet and when th nurse or doctor came to speak to her or something, I moved out of the way, no one...

    guiltysins replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Definetely have a little fun, if you feel guilty about it then you can try to incorporate it. Some of the girls from my school go out with eachother one night out of the week and they do talk about...

  17. Well, No Nursing for Me

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    This doesn't really make much sense to me, but maybe I'm misreading it. Nurses are meant to catch doctor mistakes, that doesn't mean the doctor has to like or appreciate it. Most doctors don't like it...

  18. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    guiltysins replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    I'm only starting my nursing program in Sept but I can already tell that my Spring semester will be issues. It has to do with what others mentioned with clinical times. Our OB clinical is only listed...

    guiltysins replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

  20. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    guiltysins replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Yes most NYC nursing programs do not do clinicals at nursing homes. Our first clinical is in geriatrics but it's in a hospital. We don't go into the hospital until the end of October. Orientation for...

  22. HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    guiltysins replied to angeloa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me majority of the vocab from the book wasn't on my exam. There were a few of the basic medical ones but there were a number of A&P questions. Also they weren't phrased like they are in the...

  23. Hunter College Adult NP Program

    guiltysins replied to NYCRN6's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter College has a great nursing reputation in the city. The tuition is cheap because it's a state school, while Columbia is a private university. However due to the cheaper tuition, the admission...
