Hello, I posted a question on the Nursing Programs Discussion board about NYIT but have not had any responses. If any current students or graduates could share any information regarding NYIT's BSN program, I would be very grateful! I'm concerned th...

Misery loves company.....I could've started this post, too! 44 y/o single mom---2nd clinical semester---and I've been SO close to quitting, too. It's not the school work, I can handle that just fine - clinicals are killing me, though....I just can'...

Hey everyone - yes, the acceptance method at NCC is a mystery. It took me 2x before I got in and I had a 4.0...and a ton of credits under my belt as well. Perhaps someone on this board will have a different opinion, but I personally think that those...

I "got it" - but not everyone, apparently! I'm sure I will be whining (internally) in a few weeks when I'm cracking the books instead of kicking back and sipping a glass of "whine" like I am right now......

I read this thread with a very tongue-in-cheak mentality....I didn't think anyone was trying to be rude, really. We all have our stories and have worked hard to get where we are. I think everyone should lighten up and give themselves and each other...

Leonard appointed to nursing board TARRYTOWN -- Margaret Leonard, senior vice president of clinical services at Hudson Health Plan, has been appointed to a five-year term on the New York State Board of Nursing. The board oversees registered nurses, n...

" I want a job that will stimulate and challenge me, a job where I make a difference everyday, I want to feel needed, and be dedicated to what a do because I'm doing something important. " Sorry, premedwoahs........but this sounds like "wanting to he...

Hi Suzi -I know, we start before our kids do The summer is going way too fast.... but I am excited about getting started! I look forward to meeting you on the 26th at orientation!

Hi Kuklara - I'm G3. Yes, I'm excited - but trying to enjoy time with my kids before September comes around! I have my books, but haven't really started reading yet (I got them a lot cheaper on line, too).... I ordered my uniform today.....and I h...

Glen Cove is a TERRIFIC hospital - I am Mondays as well. What is your section #?

I'm at Glen Cove, too - I'm very happy. What day are you there?

I'd call first just to make sure. The shelves for Nursing (and in general, really)were pretty bare - they don't appear to be stocked for fall classes yet. I will probably purchase mine on line, which can be cheaper sometime, too.

It took about 2 hours and then another hour and a half standing on line at the registrar. Questions were about stress management. Essay was about how you cope in difficult situations. Also had to define 5 words and use them in a sentence. Nothing...

Then Stony Brook must be in trouble with only a 91% in 2009 if this is true. Colombia had a 91.5 and NYU had a 88.5 - these are terrible? The very few schools with a 97+ pass rate are much smaller than the 100's of students that these ones graduate....

Grindin - are you currently a student in the NCC Nursing Program?

Sorry Suzi - Don't give up, though! I didn't get in the first time around, either -Also, I know that they sometimes call people back who got initially got rejected if they don't fill up all the spots they have. That happened to a friend of mine - s...

I'm sure you're referring to the Brooklyn campus....would you happen to know if there are any plans to offer an accelerated program at their Brookville (Long Island) campus/ C.W. Post?

Did you apply to Molloy? You'd have no worries there -

I know from experience that you're not going to get much information about the NYIT Nursing program in this forum...you'll have to do your research for yourself. Hope this link helps - http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/nurseprogs-nclexrn2008-12.htm...

Congratulations to you as well, SPB! I applied to NYIT as well, but decided to cross it off my list for a number of reasons - the biggest being the program's lack of accreditation by the NLNAC or the CCNE. I contacted an administrator at the school t...

Definitely go for it! I did it last year - put forth my best effort and ended up with an A. If you devote the necessary time to it, those 5 weeks will fly by before you know it! I'm sure you won't regret it if you take it, especially since you're ...

THANKS SO MUCH!

Sorry, Suzi - I had a busy weekend and just saw your post now. Yes, I never expected that a few grades from when I was 19 would come back to bite me! Even though I ended up graduating with a very respectable GPA, my grades in Statictics & Intro...

Oh, I see - you're interview is a different day.... I'll be sure to fill you in what I can. Dogmom67, I actually took A&P II last summer at Nassau - and I found it to be just fine. Almost easier, I thought, than A&P I was during the full s...
