I have been at my first nursing job as a staff RN for a year and a half now. I was on med/surg for a year and then on the telemetry unit for the last 6 months. Yesterday I was contacted by a nurse recruiter to interview for an acute dialysis unit p...

Very stressed. I wasn't pursuing dialysis, the opportunity just presented itself. While it would definitely be a better position (at a better hospital, my current hospital is small, really being hit by poor HCAHPS) I was already almost laid off once ...

I'll be starting my new job (first nursing) in a hospital on a med surg floor as well, I would also love to see examples of peoples brain sheets. I always thought about creating something like that during my preceptor but I wasn't sure if it was all...

I am also interested in applying out of state. I am from NY and it is almost impossible to find a job if you're mother is not the head of human resources. I was thinking of looking into PA, FL, NJ. Did anyone mention in their cover letters that the...

Hi Everyone, I am a new graduate nurse just passed my boards in August on Long Island in New York. I have been desperately applying to hospitals, SNF's doctors offices for 3-4 months now and not a single call back or interview. I am thinking of ap...

Yes anyone have the password or willing to share or something! I have been searching for about 3 months for a job no luck This would definitely help! Thanksss

Hello everyone, this question isn't necessarily for me but for my friend. We both applied to similar schools. I received an email from NYIT saying they would waive the $50 fee to apply but I didn't want to go there because it was for a Bachelors so...

Hey everyone I received my acceptance letter yesterday for Farmingdales Nursing Program for the Fall 2009 semester :). I created this thread for other people who are accepted to also post so we can get to know each other before starting in August!!!...

hey kelly11101, when i applied to NCC i believe my gpa was around a 3.7-8 the grades i received were a&p1 - B+, a&p2 - A, psy - A, mat - B+, for the core classes and A's in electives i took. i was rejected for the spring 08 semester. i had t...

That is really awesome that you accelerated like that good for you! Being that I haven't even started any nursing classes yet I don't want to get ahead of myself looking to go faster haha. I was going to take Micro in the summer but I want to remai...

Ohh you are doing an accelerated thats cool, do you already have an Associates LINurseDream? I have my Associates from NCC but I am just going for another Associates at Farmingdale this Fall. I feel like I've already wasted so much time (not really...

haha yeah I love cats, everyone teases me saying I am like an old cat lady!

Thanks for the help ccjus!!

I applied in early January and JUST found out. SCCC didn't even require a test so I don't know what really takes them so long.

Hey guys got my acceptance letter today for SCCC as well. However, I don't think I am attending. I am still having a toss up between NCC and Farmingdale. Farmingdale I am all registered for and done, NCC the orientation is May 18th. But SCCC is a...

Apag, Hmm... I really don't know about that and now that has me thinking. I already have an Associates degree, and last semester when I was taking my pre-reqs I was non-matriculated because A) I wasn't accepted into the nursing program yet and B) th...

Thanks Neeniebean, Who needs the Farmingdale staff when we have you!

APAG, If you register as a "non-matriculated" student you do not get any financial aid. Non matriculated means you do not have a major. I would suggest if Farmingdale has a major that you could be in while taking your pre-reqs such as a liberal art...

I'm still waiting for my letter from SCCC but I was accepted to Farmingdale and NCC and I'm probably going to go to Farmingdale. Congrats!!!!

Hi Cee Cee, I am not sure I am following your question but I took A&P1 during the summer, a 5 week course from July 7th to August 7th last year so I'll just tell you my experience. The way the course was for me was a 2 hour lecture from 8-10 and...

Ohh changing in the car that will be fun lol. Neeniebean, for the first few weeks that we are NOT in the hospital, are we supposed to wear the uniforms then? And do we just wear regular clothes to the other nursing classes? I feel so weird wearing...

Hah thanks NYTeach. I just feel like I don't know so much about whats going on. Like bella was telling me we don't wear our uniforms on campus, two of my days I go straight from the hospital to class with not much time inbetween... am I allowed to ...

KL2010, I took the test on 2/28 for Farmingdale and was accepted. I basically read the Macdonald book front to back and highlighted a lot of the science part. I took all the practice tests. I am not the greatest math student so I thought that wou...

thanks radmom, I am doing the day program. At this point I am leaning towards Farmingdale. However, I missed the orientation for Farmingdale because of a death in the family I feel so out of the loops. I still have so many questions even after goi...

So is it basically a sure thing at this stage? What do you wear to this thing lol? Could you tell me which hospitals NCC uses. I live in Eastern Nassau County so I am not sure if its better to just stay with Farmingdale but the schedules are bette...
