  1. First time looking into nursing

    guiltysins replied to cbhanna21's topic in New York Nursing

    A BSN is not a licence, that just stands for a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing which you get to be an RN. You can also become an RN with a ADN (Associate's Degree in Nursing). LPN is a different type of...

  2. Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing

    guiltysins replied to emmafox13's topic in New York Nursing

    Volunteering and resume won't help you for Hunter as they don't even look at those type of things. They strictly go by grades and your grade on the entrance exam. So just push hard for all A's and you...

  3. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    guiltysins replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    It just doesn't make sense lol, same with physical therapy. If it were really that crucial then they wouldn't allow said 4 year degree to be in ANYTHING. I think if anything it should be like you said...

  4. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    guiltysins replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    Exactly, changing it to four years for people just entering I think is fair and come up with something for people who have already graduated. Maybe a combination of education and work experience as a...

  5. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    guiltysins replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    I just love these kind of threads lol, it gets me excited for the fall! Here's my first semester of my BSN program starting Sept 7th: Nursing Fundamentals Nursing Fundamentals Lab Nursing I:...

  6. What date do you start Nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    September 7th and I can't wait. I feel like vacation has been too long! I got out of school May 4th. I spent most of my summer just doing the required stuff, background check, drug test, going to the...

  7. from associates to bachelor degree

    guiltysins replied to qtpie87's topic in New York Nursing

    That's great and it probably will be good for you. If you don't have a problem finding work you can always do the RN-BSN or even if you do get a job you can also do this online because you've done...

  8. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    guiltysins replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    I feel like at some points it's a double standard. People want the profession to be taken seriously and yet complain when they have to get more education. People associate the difficulty of a job with...

  9. from associates to bachelor degree

    guiltysins replied to qtpie87's topic in New York Nursing

    Just rumors, it won't happen, but more hospitals prefer a bachelor's degree. Not all hospitals but a lot of the big ones. Some people can't afford a bachelor's and some don't want to spend that much...

  10. NYC job market for new grads in 2 years?

    guiltysins replied to gtshin30303's topic in New York Nursing

    Which one do you want to do. Nursing isn't something you can go into for the job anymore, moreso if it's something you really want to be. If you are fine with doing either one and you know there is...

  11. OK, ummm............well...........

    guiltysins replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    That was the funniest thing I've read all day. Thank you LOL. And LOL to the Freud comment! He would agree that this patient obviously never reached his milestone in the anal stage of psychosexual...

  12. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Students

    I'm starting the professional phase of my nursing program in September and it seems like having a parrot on your shoulder to hear people say "you should have been a CNA first". I'm not offended by...

  13. Help in deciding what specialty

    guiltysins replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    Well you said you liked L&D but it was just slow. I wouldn't completely shut the door on L&D just yet, perhaps you will get a job in a hospital that will have more births and things will be...

  14. Gift for summer externship preceptor?

    guiltysins replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    I would definetely go with a thank you card and some kind of gift card. I've found out you can't go wrong with

  15. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    My state, New York does not allow you to become a certified CNA after your first semester of nursing school. And I wasn't aware that nursing homes would train you for free. Is this everywhere? I'm not...

  16. Do NY Nursing Schools (ADN/BSN) Help You Find Jobs?

    guiltysins replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I think one of the reasons for all the jumping around is since it is with HHC, city hospitals, they want the students to do at least some coursework in a city run college or at least that's what it...

  17. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    guiltysins replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    I have no idea, I would imagine but it's going to be difficult because our professor for skills lab isn't the same professor we have for lecture. And we're not a program where everyone is scheduled...

  18. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    guiltysins replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    I want to do Postpartum/Mother-Baby, maybe L&D and antepartum eventually but I definetely wouldn't want that to be my first job. I'm also thinking of Pediatrics Med/Surg or Peds rehab or rehab in...

  19. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    guiltysins replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    My first day of school is actually on the day I have skills lab so I'm wondering how that is going to work since I won't have lecture for it until the day after LOL. It's a six hour class so I don't...

  20. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    guiltysins replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I wasn't told this because some people just can't make this happen. Yes I would have loved to be a CNA but I don't have CNA course money unfortunately. I wish it came with part of the nursing programs...

  21. Orientation date

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

    Is the school really going to lose its accredidation or is a here-say and gossip? That's a big difference and you don't want to base your decision on rumors. There are a lot of nursing programs that...

  22. What should I do?

    guiltysins replied to Punkabof's topic in New York Nursing

    LIU's tuition is frightening LOL. I think retaking orgo would be good and you might wanna tretake Anatomy 1. I don't know much about CNR but there's a whole thread on here....

  23. Do NY Nursing Schools (ADN/BSN) Help You Find Jobs?

    guiltysins replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    From what I understand that is exactly what the LIU program is. They do all of their clinicals at Kings County and I'm not sure if the lecture classes are held at our campus or at kings county but I...

  24. Clinicals?

    guiltysins replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    It varies by program. Like others said in the first semester we have skills lab for the first 7 weeks and clinical in place for the last 7 but that is only for the first semester. For the 2nd, 3rd and...

  25. Nursing and Money Makin'

    guiltysins replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    Actually I have seen people that expect to get rich in nursing and it's rather sad. I live in NYC and the average starting salary is about 75K about $37 an hour. A lot of people think that is living...
