I am applying for the fall as well. I originally applied for this spring, but took too long to send in the required documents, and received notification that the spring semester is now full, so I rolled my application over to the fall. I'm currently...

I took mine on Wednesday. Got 75 questions and I felt like it was mostly SATA. I had pretty much the same pattern. I was freaking out through the whole test. Went home and tried the "trick", got the good pop up, and found out yesterday that I pas...

Hi all - I was wondering if anyone knows if the Saunders Q&A book has different questions than the Saunders Comprehensive Review. I have the 3rd edition of Saunders Comprehensive review and am wondering if I should get the Q&A book for more...

I'm in Brooklyn, NY, and we will not be starting IV's either. I've been told by friends who graduated that it is something that you learn on the job once hired. I plan on taking a phlebotomy course anyway, just so I don't feel completely lost when ...

Nursing li means that you are in the nursing program! I'm about to start my last semester of nursing at KBCC next month. Congrats!

You could probably get a copy from A-108 if you need it again. I didn't need to provide anything to the clinical agencies. I think some of the other hospitals from future courses may require it. You should keep a copy of the actual physical paperw...

Ideal is on Flatbush Avenue and Avenue K in Brooklyn.

I don't think any of them are really very far from the school. I guess it depends on where you live. I got lucky because I only lived a couple of minutes away from Shorefront. As far as supplies go, you'll definitely need a stethoscope, blood pre...

I did my first semester clinical at Shorefront Geriatric Center on Surf Avenue in Coney Island. I know some of the other ones they go to are Menorah which is right by the school, another one right next door to Shorefront, and I think there is one on...

I took the dosage calculations class at Kingsborough last fall online and it was really easy!! You have to show up in person I think three times to take exams. I ended up with an A in the class. P.S. Congrats on getting accepted into the program!

I'm supposed to be studying for my last lecture exam tomorrow, but I'm on here to see if anything interesting is going on. How funny that the first post I see is exactly what I'm doing!! Good luck to everybody who is studying for finals!

I know that Kingsborough Community College offers Microbiology in the winter session, and I'm pretty sure the other courses that you listed are also offered. I think it may be hard to get a seat in the microbiology class as they tend to fill up very...

I know exactly how you feel!! We are doing our clinicals at a nursing home for the first semester. We don't actually start until October 6, but that's all I can think about. I worry that I won't be able to hear the blood pressure, or feel the puls...

Well done! 36 out of 40 is an awesome grade! That's how they will be doing the tests at my school too. My classes don't start for another two weeks and I can't wait!

I take out loans, but it's not enough for me to live off of. I also babysit on the days that I do not have class and am looking for something on the weekend so I can supplement all of this and get by. I am single and have no support from anyone, so...

Just curious what type of healthcare facility all the new nursing students will be doing clinicals at. My school will be sending us to a nursing home for the first semester, and then for the remainder we will do it at a hospital.

I received my acceptance letter in June, which told us the August orientation date. I found out at orientation what my schedule would be like which included clinical day as well.

My orientation is next week and my classes don't start until September 10th, so I have a little more time to get myself together. I'm so excited and can't wait for orientation to meet my fellow nursing students! I got all my books from Amazon. I'm...

I start in September!! I'm so looking forward to it!!! Congrats to everyone else!!

Adorable!!

I would get the review guide - I think it's by Mary McDonald. I studied that guide and took all of the practice questions in it for months. When it came time for the exam, I was well prepared and scored high. You will see a lot of questions on the...

Congratulations!!!

How long does all that yummy food stay warm in the thermos? I'm starting clinicals this fall and have to really save money and want to eat healthy too. Your ideas and snacks sound wonderful. Especially the beans!!

Study the review book as much as possible and take the practice exams. Anything that you get wrong you can go back and study. The book is extremely helpful and you will see a lot of the material that's in the book on the exam. Good luck!

I think that's a good idea. I'm going to do the same, but I'm just going to confirm with the nursing dept. to make sure that the syllabus is accurate and up to date. I'm going there on Monday to drop off the forms so I'll ask them then.
