  1. NYU College of Nursing as a Transfer

    guiltysins replied to emmafox13's topic in New York Nursing

    I can't tell you much but my friend transferred in to NYU for her last two years of nursing from another school and the only pre-reqs she had to take at NYU was the ones that she didn't take before...

  2. What are the requirements?

    guiltysins replied to megan3485's topic in New York Nursing

    To be accepted into the introductory term all you need is a high school diploma, the admission exam and the pre-req to A&P which is a general bio course, you can do this at City Tech or a...

  3. do you care about your patients?

    guiltysins replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think most patients would think that their nurses are suppose to care about them after they leave the hospital or for the rest of their lives. A lot of patients don't feel like the nurses care...

  4. Help va Rn looking to move to NY!

    guiltysins replied to MsbossyRN's topic in New York Nursing

    Agreed, maybe in upstate New York things aren't as bad off but in the city? They're just bleh, in every single job pretty much. Also, a lot of large scale hospitals have started with their...

  5. Mount Sinai inquiries

    guiltysins replied to NewyorkerRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree but those nursing postings have been up for so long it's hard to tell how old they even are. If you'll notice there are 279 of them. I think at one point they were considering new grads for...

  6. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    guiltysins replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I use to think the only thing I could see myself doing is PP. For some reason the unit just clicked for me and I've done a lot of research about it. I'm not done with school yet but I am keeping my...

  7. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    guiltysins replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    One of my good friends is a CMA and she identifies herself as a certified medical assistant. She said she would never identify herself as a nurse because she's not and she has no reason to. She went...

  8. average GPA from good school, or high GPA from bad school

    guiltysins replied to mkhoaja's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on what you consider a bad school. Just because standards are a little lower doesn't make the school a bad program. Most employers don't go through the trouble of researching...

  9. Did you got placed into your preferred field of nursing right after graduation?

    guiltysins replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Nursing

    For some it's all about luck. Peds is VERY difficult because everyone seems to want it. Maternity it depends on the area with that too. L&D is almost impossible in some places, my friend wanted...

  10. pre reqs difficulty

    guiltysins replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Certain pre-reqs I was good at, I didn't have to study as much, like psychology and math but on of things that usually helps is flashcards. It can be tiresome reading a huge paragraph but if you sum...

  11. Conversation starter...what are your nursing career goals?

    guiltysins replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Students

    Right now I want to graduate and get my BSN (2012). I want to work on the Mother-Baby Unit (aka postpartum unit) and after two years or so I'd like to get certified in maternal-newborn nursing. I...

  12. SENIOR year of nursing

    guiltysins replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I'm not but I just wanted to say congrats to the both of you for making it almost to the end, though I have no doubt you guys will make it all the

  13. Whine alert! OB/Peds

    guiltysins replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken either of these but I'm looking forward to both when I get them. What appeals to me as the pediatric nurse and the nicu nurse said is that it's more focused on family care and not just...

  14. Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    guiltysins replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    No problem! Make sure you keep us

  15. When are you no longer a new grad?

    guiltysins replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on how you want to evaluate it. If a student graduates in 2009 and they still haven't worked, a recruiter doesn't consider them a new grad in 2010 and new grad programs don't consider them...

  16. I called in today, no I mean ..I called Out! / huh??

    guiltysins replied to cecilsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard "calling-out" and to me they both make sense. Yes you are "calling-in" to work but you are calling to "call-out" of work. Get it? You're calling to say you're going to be OUT of work for...

  17. NCLEX passage rate--why not include 2nd try passers?

    guiltysins replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to me personally a 2nd time passer indicates that they student needed more time to educate themselves and that the school must not have done a great job, I think a 2nd time passer looks good...

  18. What would you spend more money on?

    guiltysins replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    I think I would go with the shoes. My stetho will be a Littman one but not one of the high priced heavy duty one. However I already plan to spend at least 40-60 bucks on my nursing shoes because I...

  19. Nursing school orientation -- Fall 2010

    guiltysins replied to ARnursingstudent's topic in General Students

    My orientation isn't till Sept 1st but its at noon so I don't think it'll be longer than 3 or 4 hours. We did our own schedules and everyone has different classes at different times, not to mention...

  20. is there a problem with men going into nursing.

    guiltysins replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly think it's sad that it happens and it's a stereotype. My male friends in the nursing program have had no problems so far but a few did run into problems with husbands in the OB clinical...

  21. why do people do this?

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

    At least your non-nursing friends realize it's hard! Mine say "why do you want to wipe butts" or "ohh going to the hospital sounds like so much fun!" or "nurses can specialize, doesn't the doc just...

  22. I'm a current college student, and I would really love some advice from a nurse

    guiltysins replied to borinick1492's topic in Nursing Career

    How do you know they haven't already explored those other options. Not to mention programs like Pharmacy and Physical Therapy are not in abundance and require 6 year programs for work and are more...

  23. Patient falls scare me to death

    guiltysins replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Your classmate was right, patients fall all the time, but that doesn't mean they should! LOL I mean to me that's like telling someone they are afraid their patient will die that "patients die all the...

  24. Be Aware: Don't Go into Nursing

    guiltysins replied to work&play's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was clear said person wasn't in nursing when they mentioned something about hand holding for a year before they are safe. HAHAHA aside from new grad programs, who actually gets orientation and a...

  25. Why did you choose to go into nursing?

    guiltysins replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My story is similar to most, I wanted to do healthcare or something along with healthcare, mainly helping children. Nursing wasn't my only interest, I was comparing it to Ultrasound tech, Physician...
