NurseDreamerNYC

I have been under consideration for over a week as well for a few positions. I hope to get a call soon *crosses fingers*...I've become extremely discouraged with the job market in NYC and hoping my luck turns around

Hello Katpil. Getting a D in any course is considered failing by nursing school standards. Nursing schools require that you have at least a C or C+ in nursing pre-reqs before you can even be considered for admission. When I went to BMCC, I had to re-...

Thank you for your response! Do you have a BSN? I will continue trying. I am re-vamping my resume and hopefully that will help. :)

Hey everyone. I just wanted to ask you all that are going through the process of trying to get into the residency program, do you have a BSN or ADN? Also, what was the interview process like? I work at another hospital very close to Lennox Hill, and ...

With the way the field of nursing is changing, the higher the education, the better. They are beginning to phase ADNs out everywhere, especially in the hospitals with Magnet status and great reputations, which are the exact facilities that everyone w...

I checked and its no longer there But thank you for your response! :)

The RN who told you this most likely entered into the profession when the job market is not like it is now, and perhaps she feels like she is in the position to look down upon CNAs for whatever reason; however, she is misinformed and wrong. I can tel...

Yes this is correct. I am in the same boat. I passed my boards in November 2012, and have been unable to obtain employment since then. The only way to get into most NYC hospitals is to enter in their new grad program, however, space is very limited a...

Hello all. I'm just curious if any of you applied to Westchester Medical Center as new grads? I have applied there non-stop and have not been contacted. I did my Pediatrics clinical rotation there and one of my preceptors works there as a NP, but sti...

Hello teddygraham. I know you posted this a while ago, but I was just wondering how you applied for the residency? When I go to the website, I don't see anything posted. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello lullaby. I am sorry I didn't reply sooner. I just saw this now. Shortly after I posted this, I finally got the panel interview that I had been waiting for a year to get at the hospital I work for. Unfortunately, I was not selected. I am crushe...

Hello all. I am looking to vent, for advice, guidance, etc. I graduated from an ADN program in NYC in January 2012. It just so happened that I found out I was pregnant with my first child at the same time I graduated. So I decided to take a year off ...

I'm just curious, are you a new grad?

i did not end up going to adelphi. after long consideration i realized that it was not realistic to go to adelphi and work full-time. i ended up applying to dorothea hopfer in mount vernon and i was accepted. i'm finishing up my first semester there ...

I plan on going to Mercy College or College of New Rochelle for my BSN after I graduate from Hopfer. Hopfer has articulation agreements with these 2 schools and several others. It is an easy transition especially if you go to a school that Hopfer has...

We were recently assured by the dean that they will not be closing. I was told that even if Mount Vernon Hospital shuts down, Hopfer is a separate entity through Sound Shore and it will not affect us. It wasn't really that competitive. As long as you...

No problem! I know how much guidance I needed when I was first getting started so I try to do the same for others. This is my first semester at Hopfer so I won't be done until December of 2011. It's a long journey but well worth it. Good luck!

It's a good idea to enroll in hostos. You should go to whichever school is most convenient for you because it doesn't really matter where you take your pre-reqs. Clep is an exam that you can take for a course and if you pass it you receive the credit...

You could also speak with Sandra Farrior. She is extremely helpful and is the "go to" person for any and every question you have about the program. Most of the people in my class went to CUNY schools because they are cheaper and did their pre-reqs be...

Hopfer is a good school. The professors are great so far and they seem to genuinely care about the students. I did all of my pre-reqs before I started at BMCC. I am in the evening program and we had to take all of our pre-reqs before entering the pro...

Wow I am seriously stressed now. Our class for this semester is full and I see on the website that they are still accepting applicants for the day and evening semesters. This is terrible. Thanks for the heads up.

I just started my first semester at Hopfer and I can tell you that the program is very intense. I was also accepted into BMCC with a 3.77 gpa but I wasn't called until 2 days before I was going to start at Hopfer, so I declined my seat. I am now regr...

Hello everyone! I am planning on applying to Adelphi as a transfer student but before I submit my application I would like to find out some information from current students. I completed a lot of pre-reqs at BMCC but I was wondering if Adelphi will ...

Hi gaileyt, I am going to be applying to Cochran (getting together my application to submit today). I was told over the phone this morning that they accept until 10/30 so I'm rushing to get it done. I was just wondering if you could give me some info...

Hi Melody, Thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately I have not made it into the Nursing program at BMCC so I have not been able to get my associate's degree. I applied to the program last semester and I will apply this semester but Mr. Sierra ...
