  1. NYU GPA and Pre-reqs?

    guiltysins replied to kraam's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU doesn't have any pre-reqs that need to be completed before applying. Meaning when you apply you do all the pre-reqs before you move onto the professional phase until you have completed them all....

  2. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    guiltysins replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    My first semester books will be about 600, I shopped around online and didn't get too many deals because my school bookstore sells things like the textbook+skills video+ study guide together as one...

  3. why not pharm?

    guiltysins replied to Thangbom321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the pre-nursing forum for students that are taking pre-reqs and a lot of people don't have to take pharmacology as a pre-req so there isn't going to be many in this section. If you check the...

  4. How difficult did you find pharmacology?

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

    Quick question, did you guys buy pharm flash cards or was it simpler to just make your

  5. Transfer Student to UPenn, NYU?

    guiltysins replied to RN4008's topic in General Students

    You'd definetely get into NYU, they have a very good nursing program, but you need all of the pre-reqs first so make sure you look and have all of their pre-reqs. One of the main reasons people decide...

  6. Paying for Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to GaLara's topic in General Students

    My financial aid package includes the two direct student loans, sub and unsubsidized. That covers my insanely high tuition pretty well. However there are one or two semester where I might have to pay...

  7. Scary job market for Nursing school grads...What health related careers are in demand

    guiltysins replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    If you're looking to get an associated degree then the other fields that I've seen jobs for recently that only require a 2yr degree is radiology/ultasound tech, respiratory therapy and radiation...

  8. Radiation Therapist and NYM center for allied health education. HELP

    guiltysins replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Good luck, that's a great field to go into. I read your other posts and about what you're going through so I think it's great you had this as a backup plan. =) I know Methodist is expensive like crazy...

  9. Radiation Therapist and NYM center for allied health education. HELP

    guiltysins replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    First of all AART and JRCERT are not schools, they certify the Radiology/Radiation programs and they are the people who will certify you if you pass the licensing exam at the end of your program. To...

  10. Not Another Looking for Job Thread

    guiltysins replied to eddie_D's topic in New York Nursing

    I've been hearing Texas a lot but your best bet would be to do a google search and find some of the hospitals that have new grad programs, that seems to be the best way into a hospital. However, you...

  11. Is Phlebotomy taught in Nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to amanda1266's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about blood but we do IV lines. We might learn it at the same time but there isn't a seperate course for it that would make us certified phlebotomists. Some of my friends did get...

  12. Is anyone squeemish?

    guiltysins replied to CNAkt's topic in General Students

    I don't think there is anyone who can sit there and not be bothered by incredibly smelly poop LOL. Poop doesn't bother me too much but if it has a really strong and strange odor my eyes will water...

  13. What to expect first semester/first year of nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Our first semester is Intro to Nursing w/lab, Geriatrics w/clinical, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology and Dosaging Math. It would depend on what kind of clinical you have but for the most part if you're...

  14. Avoiding Med-Surg Class?

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken it yet but from what I see it's difficult because it's a very broad subject that contains a little of everything. Labor and Delivery, is pretty much just that. While everyone is...

  15. Lenox Hill Staffing Up?

    guiltysins replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    Agreed, those are the same job postings that have been there for months. A lot of hospitals don't update their job listings. You have to call to see if they are hiring for those that don't list dates...

  16. Is Nursing Right For ME?

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

    I'd also like to see how you're doing as well. I believe I'm a little ADD as well. I haven't been diagnosed but I space out sometimes, I always fidget, have a hard time sitting physically still and I...

  17. University dropping class

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

    My school does this all the time, mostly if the class is half empty and they can see that everyone else can fit into the other open class, they'll do it. It definetely

  18. Avoiding Med-Surg Class?

    guiltysins replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

  19. Accerlated BSN and sleep?

    guiltysins replied to Rmedin19's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only concerning thing is that you've gone times without sleeping BEFORE even being in a nursing program. What was your other degree, because if it was something that you would consider...

  20. Had multiple PPD's can this be harmful?

    guiltysins replied to dblpn's topic in General Nursing

    I was always told at the doctor that when I get a PPD I have to go back and have it read in 2-3 days but if I don't go back to have it read in that time-frame I have to have it done again so I guess...

  21. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    guiltysins replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I barely type out net language aside from the usual LOL because there's no point in typing that out, but the other shortcuts (R u there?) that crap annoys me to no end. I've been teased about how I...

  22. Is anyone squeemish?

    guiltysins replied to CNAkt's topic in General Students

    The only thing that makes me really squeemish is watching certain surgeries, which is definetely why an OR job won't be for me lol but it's worse for some than others. Like I can watch a c-section...

  23. On vacation..can't stop studying!

    guiltysins replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

  24. Nursing prereq grade requirements

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

    I lucked out with my program. You need a minimum of a 3.0 and you really do get accepted with a 3.0. My gpa was a 3.6 just because I didn't want to settle for having the minimum. Admissions are...

  25. 85% > required in A&P for RN school

    guiltysins replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agreed with the others until you said they gave you credit for nursing courses. They can trust those but not
