    Plain Vanilla replied to Lovelite66's topic in Psychiatric

    This seems to be the case with my buddy. She started out in med surg and is now working in psych and loves it more than she did med

  2. What do graduate nurses know about Psychiatric Nursing?

    Plain Vanilla replied to Lovelite66's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm so glad I found your post! I'm a relatively new nurse thinking about working in a psych unit. What is your day to day routine like, if there is such a thing? Compared to other areas like med surg,...

  3. RN relocating to NYC

    Plain Vanilla posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello all, I'm an RN that has about a year of experience in LTC and am looking to move back home to NYC. I'm currently enrolled in an RN-BSN program. I'm aware of the tough job market there, however I...

  4. RN relocating to NYC

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! Did you start out in acute care? That seems to be the situation with some of my friends currently working in NYC. First it took most of them at least a year to find a job in an...

  5. New Grad that took time off for baby

    Plain Vanilla replied to alainaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took a year off doing other stuff after I graduated nursing school and passing the NCLEX and managed to find a job right away (not a hospital). I was up front with the interviewer and told them why...

  6. New York Career Medical Training Center of Queens?

    Plain Vanilla posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Has anyone taken a CNA course at this school? I've seen it mentioned on this site a few times when I searched the name, but I found a really negative response when searching for the address on google:...

  7. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello, I'm currently majoring in nursing at LaGuardia Community College. It is my first semester and I am aware that it is highly competitive. I am getting an A in all of my classes, but I may be...

  8. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I have been thinking about it some more and I figure that when it comes down to the human biology and physiology classes, they will all be somewhat severe regardless of the professor. The one trend I...

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey all, I have not checked this website in some time and I just wanted to say that I need to check it more often! I will PM you guys my

  10. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Honest, I'm sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I was very caught up with midterms and now finals. I don't have the fall schedules, but you are able to register online by logging into CUNY...

  11. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you're right, although I called Queensboro C.C. and they said they are still doing candidacy on a semester basis. I think the schools are getting too crowded or something, because I learned...

  12. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Queensboro Community College should have it as well as BMCC and I think there is one called Hostos in the Bronx. If you're already registered at LaGuardia, then you should give it a shot. I'm not sure...

  13. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hello Honest, Sorry it has been a while. I just finished midterms. To tell you the truth, I am not sure what they would do. Usually when credits transfer, the grades do not. They may not have the...

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    LPNs still have to take Human Biology II. Although it's not a key course (yet...the nursing program has been thinking about making SCB204 a key course probably for RNs, but I don't think they did that...

  15. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I just checked the website to take microbiology over the summer and they do offer the MAT106 summer course. There are not a lot of seats filled yet.If you take Psychology 101, I recommend Dr. *****...

  16. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hello Honest, I myself am not in the RN program (hopefully yet). Pretty much the best way to get into the program is to have a good GPA. If they set their LPN standards to 3.4 GPA, try to get a 3.6...

  17. LaGuardia student, LPN advice needed

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Hello Honest, As far as I know, LPNs need three key courses that they need to do well in. They are human biology I, English 101, and Psychology 101. Since you have a bachelors, they will...

  18. New York Career Medical Training Center of Queens?

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you, I found out more about it and just like you said, it is disorganized. I saw a lot of good comments on the site about Manhattan Institute, however, and applied to that school

  19. Physiology before microbiology?

    Plain Vanilla posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, My class registration started today (oddly enough) and I am currently in anatomy and physiology I. I need to take microbiology, but when I selected it for my spring schedule, I was told by the...

  20. Physiology before microbiology?

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks again; just tried to get permission to take micro during the spring, but they said no. Ahh well, I'll pick up the book ahead of time and start to read it before I take it in the

  21. Physiology before microbiology?

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, thanks everyone! I'll talk to a counselor on Monday to see if I can get permission...if I still won't be able to, I'll just take it in the summer if it's

  22. I want to be a nurse but is nursing really that horrible??

    Plain Vanilla replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student and I am worried about that too. A few days ago I went to a nursing seminar at my school and they were pretty informative. The best piece of advice they had given was that "if...

  23. RN to BSN program around NYC

    Plain Vanilla replied to blabberbrain's topic in New York Nursing

    Hmm, yeah I did too just a few minutes ago and they don't seem to either. I could have sworn I have read that Pace had one. If you happen to go to Rutgers-Newark, don't let the Newark part scare you...

  24. RN to BSN program around NYC

    Plain Vanilla replied to blabberbrain's topic in New York Nursing

    Pace University seems to have a pretty good reputation for that, esp. if you got an ASN from Beth Israel, I think. NYU is really nice too, but it is expensive. If you had to choose between Rutgers and...

    Plain Vanilla replied to Plain Vanilla's topic in New York Nursing

    Wow, thank you guys very much! I agree, I'm sure there is nothing wrong with being an LPN. If anything, I will get some great experience. In that case, I will just go straight for the RN and worry...
