  1. Has anyone heard of this?

    guiltysins replied to Dynas12180's topic in General Students

    Sounds fishy to me, if they wanted you to do A&P there they shouldn't have accepted the transfer credit and make you retake the class. If however this is set tuition meanng it says $2500 per...

  2. Required School Vaccination Mix-up

    guiltysins replied to Roberta88's topic in General Students

    The school might find it weird to have two doctors stamp the same medical form so I don't think that will work. Your school cannot blame you for the doctor's mistake so I'm sure you'll be

  3. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    guiltysins replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    3 years but that's only because my school required that pre-reqs and core classes be done before nursing (like history, philosophy, english lit) so basically it was about 22 classes in 6 semesters (25...

  4. Finding NS Graduation Rates

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    It will depend on your state. My state's nursing board only lists NCLEX pass rates and nothing more. You might have to ask the school directly what their graduation rate

  5. Should I get an internship? Help!

    guiltysins replied to sik0123's topic in General Students

    Usually you can't get hired as a nurse intern or extern until you have done a semester or two in the nursing program. They aren't going to let you shadow a nurse before then. Also it depends on how...

  6. Do I automatically get a CNA after first year in nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to onlyjesus22's topic in General Students

    In New York you can't become a CNA without going through a specific CNA program, they don't count the one year of RN school anymore. CNA's in our area are also required to have phlebotomy and EKG...

  7. NICU Nurse?

    guiltysins replied to Tricia76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually some nurses do get accepted into NICU as a new graduate (at least in my area) without any training. After you graduate apply for the NICU jobs, one thing you'll definetely need is your NRP...

  8. RN Clinical Help

    guiltysins replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are clinicals and internships considered the same thing or are they seperate? Clinicals are attached to the class so you're doing them for a grade and some of them are 12 hours but clinicals are only...

  9. What can I doI dont get into Nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to Antonyco50's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. 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

    I can't help much but I did want to point out that New York State has made it a law that you cannot become a CNA or LPN through semesters in RN school, they don't allow this anymore. You can only sit...

  12. Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    guiltysins replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have to think about it like this. In most of the business careers, you don't start at the top, you have to work your way up and in nursing, you can start with a good salary. For example, I have...

    guiltysins replied to TREC96's topic in New York Nursing

  14. dear patients, please quit saying that to me

    guiltysins replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure I'll get the same comments because I'm short, my hands are small and I will actually be pretty young. My friends always poked fun at how short I was and always wanted to compare hands....

  16. Generally, are there more R.N. shifts available for night or day shift?

    guiltysins replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the offerings I have seen in my area are for night positions. I agree I also want to do nights so I would have no problem taking that shift out of school. It just seems like it takes up less...

  17. Stats with first semester NS?

    guiltysins replied to MelanyJ's topic in General Students

    It really depends on how good you are in Math. I took stats with Anatomy, Developmental Psych and Micro which I know aren't the same as taking it with nursing classes but I found Stats to be easy for...

    guiltysins replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand some of the people on this board sometimes. I don't even get while some of them come on here. Anyway PatMac it sounds really cool and I wish they did things like that around here. I...

  19. Nursing Program at Hunter College NLN Score

    guiltysins replied to annag425's topic in New York Nursing

    CUNY has such high standards for one reason and one reason only, Nursing is a HOT profession at the moment and compared with ALL current NYC nursing programs, they have hundreds and thousands of...

  20. What do you need to become a L&D nurse?

    guiltysins replied to mollyj91's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually you don't need a BSN to specialize in L&D all you need is an RN degree (BSN or ADN) and some luck to land a job in L&D. Sometimes you will be able to get this as a new grad, but...

    Wooo I can see why you were asking, I just searched that entire site and I couldn't find crap lol. And it seems like their site's search doesn't work cause I tried that. I don't know if you got your...

  22. Is it okay to be in the same nursing class as a relative?

    guiltysins replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    A couple of years ago there was a mother/daughter duo that graduated my nursing school at the same time. They were spotlighted at graduation and on the school's website because everyone just thought...

  23. Proprietary schools???

    guiltysins replied to Michi561's topic in General Students

    As long as the college is accredited by the the same accrediting body that accredits all the other schools then I think you will probably be okay. There are some schools that are for-profits that are...

  24. Not going to nursing school

    guiltysins replied to weirhead69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with what people have said, but there's a difference between wanting to be compensated for your hard work and seeing nothing but dollar signs. If you remember those selfish teachers if you had...

  25. Advice for Returning to BSN Program After a Break

    guiltysins replied to Guest413699's topic in General Nursing

    Look at your old books if you still have them. Get a NCLEX book and start doing questions from whatever courses you took in your first semester to see if you can recall most of the
