So far, I'm applying to two nursing schools (Philips Beth Israel SoN, and Long Island College Hospital SoN) which require the same admission essay. I was wondering if anyone had some pointers on how to write a really good essay. Thanks in advance! :)...

Orientation is two days long; they introduce the professors, talk about the school, school policies, safety issues, fire issues, peer-advisers, they answer any questions you might have, and this is also the time where they assign you lockers and mail...

You only wear the scrubs for clinicals and you only wear the lab coat for nursing lab. You can wear street clothes in all your other classes. However, if you are running late to class from clinical (if you have a class after clinical), you are free t...

By any chance did they send anything about the drug testing and the background check? Thanks. Thank you everyone for helping me out with all the emails. Look forward to meeting you this year!!

Sorry to post twice in a row. A lot of the three year students who are moving up to traditional are not getting these emails (uniforms, booklist, etc), I'll talk to Ms. * when she gets back (on Aug. 2). Keep me updated you guys, my worst fear is that...

Thanks for replying! I talked with other students who are in the three year program and are now starting clinical, and they haven't received any word on the health assessment or booklist. Do you mind sharing the health assessment information and the ...

Hey, I'm student at PBISN returning this year (completed first year of three years). I haven't received an email about the health assessment. I would also like to know if anyone got a book list or has that not been given yet? Thanks :)

I took the NLN last year and am currently a student at Phillips Beth Israel. I scored a 152 composite and a 99 percentile overall. I saw this thread and wanted to share what worked for me because it might help you as well. To help me study for the vo...

Backtonursing09 They have the book used on amazon for 11.49 (used) Review guide for RN pre entrance exam by Mary E Mc Donald

Hello Back2Nursing 09, I hope you do well on the NLN and get into PBI for 2010. (If you do, we'll probably take nursing courses together since I am in the three year program.) A great way to raise your score overall is the Pre-RN Entrance Examination...

I have a palm centro phone but I didn't think they would allow it (although you can turn off the phone service without turning off the actual phone) so I purchased a Palm M515 specifically for class. :)

Hey guys, just checking up. I'll be going to the Online Registration Orientation at 3:00 to 4:30. My name is Lorraine R. :)

Hey, Liz, how much was the deposit if you don't mind me asking? I was one of the people who called to see if I was accepted and didn't get my packet yet (I was in the second batch, last name begins with R). Thanks a bunch.

Congrats Jenny!!!!!!!

If you look at collegeboard.com for Phillips Beth Israel, it said last year there was 285 students, so there's probably different seating numbers for each program. http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?match=true&collegeI...

(Sorry for posting twice) Just read and saw that NurseRica got accepted as well! So, congratulations to both Liz and Nurse Rica!! :)

@Dani; after they receive your application and NLN scores, they will call you in for an interview. Based on the application, grades, NLN scores, and interview, the committee will meet to determine whether they will accept you. Also, forgot to congrat...

I called the admissions office and was told I got full acceptance!

@liz; I'm not too sure what that has to do with me. I'm not going to drop my plans and dreams because others are trying to patch up their poor career choice in an economic meltdown. I know this comes off as mean, and I'm sorry.

I know that nursing school is a challenge, and will definitely be much harder than high school and traditional college, but I am willing to take the risk because I believe that I might be able to do it. My mother has a co-worker who recently graduate...

On their website, they show the curriculum for two-year students who haven't taken the liberal arts courses so it seems that it is possible. Also, it is about 4 to 5 courses a semester which is about average in a normal college. I'm collecting up re...

I applied for the two year program, but the person who interviewed me said that she was going to strongly recommend me for the three year option because I'm young and I don't have any liberal arts courses. So I'm afraid that I'll be accepted, but in...

I got a high score on my NLN; 99 percentile and 152 composite. About the interview; I don't know, maybe I expected too much because people told me what great experiences they had. I felt I was underestimated, possibly because I'm only 17. I thought m...

I had my interview back in the middle of April. It didn't go as smooth as I had wished it to be, and I am still awaiting some sort of notice from them.

Did anyone else take the TEAS exam at Long Island College Hospital School of Nursing on March 6th? They said that I would have my results on Monday, at noon. So far, I haven't received my scores and was wondering if maybe someone else had already? Th...
