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

    guiltysins replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    I didn't wait to get the booklist from my school. I just went to the school and got it myself, they had it on the wall so I just grabbed it up. I've been registered since March so I already know my...

  2. How did you memorize path of bloodflow in the heart?

    guiltysins replied to mysticpenguin's topic in General Students

    For me I just kept looking at it and practicing it. I found it easier to remember the main ones first R & L veins, R & L arteries and then I just went from

  3. 1st year ADN vs 2nd year ADN

    guiltysins replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    I'm not in an ADN program but from my friends the second year dealt with more medical interventions and more complicated cases. So let's say that you weren't allowed to pass meds in 1st year, for most...

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

    guiltysins replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    I honestly don't get why CSI doesn't have a four year program. I mean they have the ADN and then the RN-BSN, isn't that technically the whole thing right there? All they'd have to do is combine it...

  5. Will working as a CNA during nursing school help me get a job?

    guiltysins replied to mysticpenguin's topic in General Students

    It depends on your luck. Yes CNA work is a health related job but you're not working as a nurse. Of course any experience is good experience but there aren't any guarantees. Your best bet is if you're...

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

    guiltysins replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Beth Isreal is actually one of the most popular nursing schools in the city. They've had an ADN program for years and I'm assuming that's why they haven't changed it yet. It'd probably cost too much...

  7. What should I do?

    guiltysins replied to Punkabof's topic in New York Nursing

    Can you take any of those classes over? LIU-Brooklyn requires your science gpa to be a 2.75 and your overall gpa to be a 2.75 to be accepted into their nursing program, but they also require all the...

  8. Please list hospitals in queens/long island area that have NICU

    guiltysins replied to ERsn's topic in New York Nursing

  9. Your desired specialty

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

    I'm actually surprised by all the interest in L&D. I'm the only one that I know who seems to want to do that, and I'm definetely the only one who wants to do postpartum. For those interested in...

  10. HESI A2 Vocabulary

    guiltysins replied to Angel1990's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I honestly didn't look at anything. I don't think you can study for it. For me the questions I didn't know were just things I would have ever known. Vocab was my lowest score but I

  11. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    guiltysins replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes every class listed that doesn't have NUR in front of it needs to be completed before you start the professional phase lol. No

  12. If BSN is preferred in NYC, Why Have ADN Programs?

    guiltysins replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    It's kind of like asking why there are a lot of associate degree programs for things you can't do anything with. What can you do with an associate's in psychology? You can barely do anything with a...

  13. Your desired specialty

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

    I'm interested in Labor and Delivery but not for the cute babies. I specifically want to do Mother-Baby/Postpartum because I like that its geared towards education and teaching the parents about their...

  14. How many classes do you take at a time?

    guiltysins replied to mamacashew's topic in General Students

    First semester is 5 classes (3 are a full semester long, 2 are 7 weeks long), second and third semester is 4 classes and the fourth semester is 3 classes all at full semester

  15. BMCC Spring 2011 hopefuls?

    guiltysins replied to ddeguzman2's topic in New York Nursing

    I believe they require the NLN PAX

  16. Is NYU's nursing program even good?

    guiltysins replied to kraam's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU is not a bad school, however just because it has a reputation doesn't mean it is better than other nursing programs in NYC. I wouldn't say it's overcrowded but they have large nursing classes,...

  17. New Grad, needs help getting a job at NY presbyterian!!! help

    guiltysins replied to Sweetiie17's topic in New York Nursing

    My father also works at NYP and he stated that as of the new year they stopped hiring ADN's, even though it still says BSN preferred, they actually aren't hiring ADN

  18. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    guiltysins replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    Research cannot prepare you for the real thing. You can research how tough nursing schools are, how much work the program is but until you're in there dong the work yourself, you're really only going...

  19. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    guiltysins replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    28 is a lot of money? You can make that as an ultrasound tech, I live in NYC of course...LOL But seriously, if you haven't killed anyone or gone around telling your patients "I'm only here for the...

  20. Associates vs. Bachelors

    guiltysins replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depends on the area you are in. In my area most of the BSN programs are easier to get into, have no waiting lists and the hospitals prefer them. Some of the hospital externships will only take...

  21. How long does it take for a new RN program to be accredited?

    guiltysins replied to diskogurl's topic in General Students

    Definetely consider if you want to go on and be an NP, because a lot of programs will only take CCNE or NLNAC accredited degrees. Also check at the hospitals in your area, some in my area want...

  22. Number of classes?

    guiltysins replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    I would say try and drop down to five. I took A&P and Micro and had no problems at all so I personally don't think it matters which two but I think with a one year old it might be an

  23. Certfd Med Asst vs Certfd Nursing Asst

    guiltysins replied to Live4Medicine's topic in General Students

    Agree with the first person. Most people who become CMA's usually don't want to go further in careers, rather than CNA which is seen as the stepping stone to nursing. CMA's typically only work in...

  24. Need a hospital position so I can to nursing school this fall, can anyone help ?!?!

    guiltysins replied to 8PM%W's topic in New York Nursing

    Really? I've spoken to a few hospitals who say they won't hire a CNA that isn't from an accredited program. I've seen positions as patient care tech's or patient care associates which is basically the...

  25. moving to nyc.. nursing homes? bk hopspitals?

    guiltysins replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    The hospital job market in all boroughs of NYC is pretty bad right now. I don't know much about the workload at a nursing home but I know the pay is usually a couple dollars less than a hospital, so...
