  1. Overweight Nurse?

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

    I also have PCOS, I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago. For the past 2-3 months I've also had a lot of problems with water retention so that's not helping either. I definetely want to lose some weight...

  2. Nursing School Jitters

    guiltysins replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    I start Sept 7th and I'm excited and scared. Our nursing class is starting with 160 this semester and I do know a few of my classmates but a lot of my friends are doing part-time which is three...

  3. Well this sucks..

    guiltysins replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    I actually know how you feel, I had a situation like this with my school. I was listed as a probationary nursing student because in my program all pre-nursing students are listed as that and you have...

  4. Do you consider yourself a "highly sensitive person" ?

    guiltysins replied to Gentle Giant's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with weezie. I don't know for sure I would call myself high sensitive, I think I might just be get overemotional. The kind that will cry from seeing other people cry in a sad situation but I...

  5. nicu volunteer and future adn rn..... problem?

    guiltysins replied to ERsn's topic in New York Nursing

    It depends on the hospital, not specifically the NICU. Some hospitals prefer BSN's regardless of the department. I have seen some hospitals that will consider you if you are at least a year into your...

  6. Everyone Starting Nursing Courses Fall 2010

    guiltysins posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it's a little early to be starting this thread since most people have just applied and all but I've been waiting to start this FOREVER. On tuesday I register for my last four pre-reqs. It took...

  7. What is the difference between these 3 courses?

    guiltysins replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Actually the times of courses can vary. I just did my BLS course and it was 4 hours (we weren't even there the entire 4 hours either) so they all don't have to be a 6 hour course. Some have 8 hour...

  8. Should you buy new or used books for your program?

    guiltysins replied to TurtleLittle's topic in General Students

    All the books I need are packages and when I look at the used on amazong or half they always say they don't have the cd or study guide ect so I just buy new copies. I am still getting them online...

  9. Is there volunteer work for pre-nursing students?

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

    This could vary with the area but hospitals around me usually require you to be 21 if you're going to be working with children or

  10. What did i get myself into?!?

    guiltysins replied to cresendez2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually it depends on the school and your professor. Because I found A&P I e to be interesting, it took some time but I only had this class once a week so maybe that's why it wasn't that time...

  11. Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing - just how good is it?

    guiltysins replied to curiousstudent5's topic in New York Nursing

    Being a NY resident doesn't matter, we don't get any preferences trust me. If you're doing a nurse practitioner program in NY then most nursing programs have a pretty good reputation. The name isn't...

  12. BSN Required?

    guiltysins replied to latebloomer74's topic in Pediatric

    Depends on your area. in NYC the children's hospitals prefer and usually only hired BSN

    guiltysins replied to starlette926's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually most don't mind that it's from the Red Cross but that one is usually more expensive and then it only lasts a

  14. Florida, New York, New Jersey, California, Nevada

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

    Hunter doesn't want you to retake pre-reqs and even if you do they will only accept your first grade I think. I go to LIU-Brooklyn and they aren't strict, however pre-reqs are considered nursing...

  15. Should I forget about nursing?

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

    Well if you have not taken any nursing pre-reqs then you don't have a dilemma. You would have to transfer before you do nursing pre-reqs. Your GPA doesn't follow you, do your nursing pre-reqs at the...

  16. Can you take labs separately?

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

    You would have to bring it up with the specific schools you are looking to take it at and see if they would let you take the lab without the class but I've never heard of that happening, I've heard of...

  17. You've been accepted...sike!

    guiltysins replied to jmmarie's topic in General Students

    I get what you're trying to say. Why let you be a pre-nursing student if you can't apply to their program. Maybe it seems silly but you more likely met the requirements to be a pre-nursing major....

  18. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    guiltysins replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    Wow my schedule is similar to yours and I have 5 classes and you just have one! They are working your butt off

  19. How do nurse clinical usually work?

    guiltysins replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    If you're going into a hospital as a student after only being in those classes for 6 weeks, you're not going to know what every drug does to every part of the body just yet. You might get a patient...

  20. First time looking into nursing

    guiltysins replied to cbhanna21's topic in New York Nursing

    They're not as difficult as the MCATs, I only took the HESI A2 and I thought it was very easy, it's nothing specific to nursing on it as with the other tests. The math and reading comp were pretty SAT...

  21. What do you have each semester in Nursing School?

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

    You only listed the classes with clinicals so I'm just going to list those but I do have other classes besides these. 1st Semester: Fundamentals 2nd: Psych, OB 3rd: Med-Surg I, Peds,...

  22. Do NYC community college RN programs really take over 2 years??

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

    Technically you're already taking more than 2 years because you have a year of pre-reqs and nursing is 2 years. But yes, a lot of the community colleges here in the city have waiting lists because of...

  23. How do nurse clinical usually work?

    guiltysins replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I think that is what might confuse you. Unlike med students and EMT's you don't just help a patient, then move onto another patient. I use to think nursing was like that. When you're a nurse, you are...

  24. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    guiltysins replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    I don't have a choice in my schedule. 1st semester is 5 classes, no excuses and seeing as over 100 students with this same scedule graduate from my nursing program every year and we have the highest...

  25. Required Supplies for Nursing Program

    guiltysins replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Check with your program, does your school have any specific requirements? I know for my program we have to by a specific kit with a lot of stuff in it. One of my friends ordered a kit that they...
