  1. Are NCLEX passing rates misleading??

    guiltysins replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Students

    I agree, retention rates are important but you'll notice that most schools that have over 100 nursing students usually only wind up with 60 graduating. My school accepts about 130 every semester and...

  2. NYC Hospital Shifts

    guiltysins replied to ccjus123's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure if you'll find any non 12 hour shifts in NY. The only hospital I know fo for sure is Brooklyn Hospital, my friend works there and they only have 7am-7pm/7pm-7am, 8am-8pm/8pm-8am when she...

  3. Do having A&P first help with Microbiology?

    guiltysins posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been reading some posts and a lot of people said that having A&P helped with micro but our school doesn't require that Micro be taken after Anatomy and Physiology. My school also breaks these...

  4. How hard is the Hesi admission assessment test?

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

    I heard it was pretty simple but that might be because my school doesn't require any of the science portions so it's basically just english and math. What school do you go to, they usually say which...

  5. In need of guidance.

    guiltysins replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    Where you go to school doesn't really matter when it comes nursing, that's the great thing about it. Unless you don't learn enough to pass the NCLEX or it's not accredidated but if you have no problem...

  6. I want to move to NYC after I graduate

    guiltysins replied to myrose's topic in New York Nursing

    They are not telling her not to move into New York City, what they are saying is for someone whose never lived in the city before, Manhattan probably wouldn't be the best place to try and start off...

  7. Do BSN/MSN combined accelerated programs allow you to postpone the MSN part?

    guiltysins replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Pace does consider their program optional so you don't have to go directly into it if you don't desire to. Columbia however I think you might have to go straight through with them. I'm not positive...

  8. Do BSN/MSN combined accelerated programs allow you to postpone the MSN part?

    guiltysins replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Wouldn't doing that kinda be the same thing as getting a BSN first from a traditional program and then working and going to a MSN. I think the point of the program is for it to be finished all at...

  9. So tired of pre-req classes!

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

    Hahahahaha oh my god these assignments. Yes they really make me hate pre-reqs and my college makes you do all college core requirements before you can do nursing programs so along with the nursing...

  10. Do having A&P first help with Microbiology?

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

    I have the time to put in it as I don't have any other commitments. I took Chem and Bio together this semester and didn't really have any problems. Of course I'd love if I didn't have to take my last...

  11. OB, Peds, and Psych Clinical Rotations

    guiltysins replied to luvbug080688's topic in General Students

    This is the way that my school breaks down clinical rotations in two years for the BSN program. Semester 1: Fundamentals (Half the semester, first half is spent in the lab) Semester 2: OB/Gender for...

  12. How hard is Microbiology?

    guiltysins replied to Sophia Petrillo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what I'm worrying as well. I'm taking microbio along with Anatomy. I don't have any other choice, I have to take it with either Anatomy or Physiology. So will the class be harder for someone...

  13. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    guiltysins replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you're doing so well in your classes then why are you concerning yourself with the fact that other students are worried and studying and/or talking about school all the time. I'm not trying to be...

  14. Nursing school Experience

    guiltysins replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    You don't have to forget all your friends, the little bit of social life you will have though will be consumed around nursing. Your friends will more than likely only be your fellow nursing...

  15. Shout out if your happy with a "C"

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

    The hardest part for me was the laboratory exams. Identifying things under the microscope and on the models. I was awful at

  16. What's your long term goal?

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

    Oh and I also think that I'd like to teach nursing somewhere down the line but not for about five or six years after I get my

  17. Shout out if your happy with a "C"

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

    I got a C in one of my general bio classes and it looks like I might be getting a C+ in my second general bio class. I've got A's in every other class that I've taken including algebra and chem. I...

  18. working part-time during nursing school

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

    Most nursing students are strongly advised to not work during their schooling. Are you doing pre-reqs or the actual nursing classes? Best bet would be a hospital job obviously and some hospitals have...

  19. CUNY Hunter or Lehman Admission question....

    guiltysins replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    I wouldn't recommend Lehman College. I transferred from their last year because their administration is very sloppy, a lot of the students are still on the high school mentality and their nursing...

  20. UIC--Cost of Attendance

    guiltysins replied to shahrukh's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel, it really didn't dawn on me how expensive the school I go to was when I first applied and got accepted but you'd be surprised at the financial aid that the schools give you and I...

  21. Just wanted to introduce myself!

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

    Welcome Shawna, I'll be finishing up my pre-reqs and starting the actual nursing portion as well in FALL

  22. What's your long term goal?

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

    Right now I'm in the last year of pre-reqs for my BSN program. So right now I just want to make it to the nursing classes, make it through them lol. Then work for three or four years before going back...

  23. Registered for Pre-Reqs

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

    You should be excited. I'm in my last year of pre-reqs but I'm taking the "nursing required" courses this year as opposed to the classes that are just the college requirements for everyone and I'm so...

  24. Class Schedules

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

    There's no specific way to tell how long your day will be. It depends on how long the classes are and how many days a week you schedule for yourself. Some classes aren't so bad to take back to back...

  25. Associates or BSN???

    guiltysins replied to chichi9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to get your Master's, you should go straight to your bachelor's because if you do Associate's first, you'd still have to go an extra two years for your bachelor's. Where if you get into an...
