Does the school need to be in NY? I am also in Western New York and have been looking for online NP programs, and after viewing a great deal of the comments here, I looked into Frontier Nursing in Kentucky. This is a completely online program, and, as the following link will show, is an approved program for NY State. According to the Frontier Website, you will only have to go to Kentucky twice during the program, and you will set up your own clinicals locally here in Western New York. I have provided both links for you to look at, and I hope you find what you are looking for!

Graduated in December, Took NCLEX April 9th (Holy Thursday), Received license April 15th, Graduation Ceremony May 17th (yes, a Sunday) and I start my new job on May 18th! :grad:

FLASHBACKS! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

You have that right. You have lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the term of your schooling, you should continue to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches until you actually have that license in your hand! The way the economy is today, I would not want to have extra marks on my credit because I had the "I want it all, and I want it all right now" attitude.:selfbonk: Best of luck to everyone

My school already makes passing the ATI-predictor worth 7% of our overall grade along with a paper pencil ATI test worth 3% of our overall grade. I took the predictor and scored a 70. I am scheduled to take my NCLEX in January. So I hope the prediction is correct. Wish me luck!

Perfect time to institute sensitivity training.

:no:Makes you want to never go!

On our first clinical experience, we had a student who had never been around patients before entering school. She was given her assignment and she walked into the room with confidence. She then came back out, her face was as white as a sheet and we asked her what was wrong. She stated that there was BM all over the place and she didn't know what to do! She then proceeded to the bathroom and vomited all over the bathroom!

While working in a nursing home, the LPN, who was the med nurse, told me that she had a dream about Ativan pills chasing her down the hallways!

I would feel more comfortable having my loved-one in my home, with the help of a private nurse.

My pin is made of stainless steel with red and gold inlay. I wish we had caps, even if it is only for graduation, and pictures afterwards. I walk in the halls of my area hospitals and see pictures of graduating nurses from years ago versus those of recent graduates. When I look at the older pictures I know that they graduated from nursing school. When I look at the recent ones and I cannot tell the difference from high school graduation. I tried to set up a petition for a cap at graduation and for class pictures, no-one wanted to sign it.
