YAY Kuklara!!!!!!!! You have been working so hard to get in for so long and you did it! So happy for you. You will be happy at Nassau dont worry. Must have felt good to order that uniform. Good for you! Good luck, the stress of getting in is over, bu...

I dont see that statement in any of these studies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Cmon!!! What statistics? Can you show us some statistics that show a BSN nurse gives better care and lowers the death rate rather than ADN nurse???? Thats a pretty bold statement that Id like to see you back up.

Yes on itouch for clinical, yes on labtop, they give a booklist at orientation, we uses the lippencott Nurses drug handbook which I love. Suddenly you get the "BIG PICTURE" when everything comes together in clinicals by your second semester. I love n...

Its difficult, stressful, and takes over your life....but we all knew this when we applied for nursing school. The amount I learned in the first semester is wonderful!!! By the time it was over I was able to perform procedures I never thought I could...

Im in my second semester at Farmingdale. It is a great nursing school, I dont know where you got your information from!!!!!!!! They only take the best of the best, so bashing it bc u didnt get in to discourage those who did is tasteless!

It may be because you are suppose to us a 1ml Syringe. With 1Ml Syringe you round to the nearest hundreth. With a 3ML Syringe you round to nearest 10th. For example if the number was .847 and u are using a 1ml syringe, it would round to .85 bc the 1 ...

Cmon people!!! Pass rates are BS! We all take the same exam! I am a Farmingdale student, and let me tell you .....THEY WILL NOT BABY YOU!!! They do no stop people from taking the Nclex LIKE NASSAU!!!! You are responsible for your education just as mo...

APAG, yes you can. I have a BS in Elementary Education, and as long as you are matriculated you can get a loan. Im not to sure about the actual pell grants and things like that, but unsubsadized and subsadized loans are available. You can go online n...

You know my input on the BS passing rate. Just very misleading! I hate that passing rate Bologna!!!

Thats so true about students!! I got so much incorrect info from people trying to get into the program with me. Even though I knew the truth, they insisted that what they were saying was true. I was just like oh, ok! BS like you cant repeat classes t...

OMG thats awesome!!!!! I wouldnt know what to do either. Just remember with the passing rates, a lot of schools give pre nclex to students to determine who is aloud to take them. If they dont do well they are prevented from taking them. This makes th...

no they didnt say, but I think they will still be accepting more. Not all people accepted decide to attend b/c they apply to other colleges. 1 of my friends at the orientation didnt get her letter yet. She only knew she was accepted b/c she went to t...

I ordered a few books from amazon. Oldcat reminded me that u cant return them to the book store if u buy them this way oops! I did however get $210 worth of books for $107 including shiping.

Thats so funny! Ive heard a lot of Nurses becoming teachers too. I guess both careers similar in stress, and paperwork (dealing with people too). I have to say, becoming a teacher taught me how to learn, if you can understand that. Ive become an exce...

Hey Teach! Are u a teacher changing careers as well? Oldcat, Ill bring my folder to CPR tomorrow to show u the book list and stuff. 5 books for 108 whoa!!! I priced them at the bookstore b4 I left. If they are all new, it comes to about under $400 (n...

Hey kwitty congrats!!!! What great news! Will you be going day or night program?

Thank you so much for all the info Neeniebean. I already have my (hopeful) schedule for the next year written out in my notebook. Ill be running to the secratary too being I have 3 kids under 5 and really need to do the night thing. I have a great su...

NEENIEBEAN! Is there a high demand for the late clinics (530-Midnight)? I see there are only 10 spots and I really need to go that time. Is registration at the orientation first come first serve or a lottery?

oooh Ill meet ya there lol!!!!!

OLDCAT! The last CPR course given is this month at the American Heart Association. They dont have another until after September. Its given in Copaigue. Go to this site to check I think its or www.longislandCPR.com or www.americanheartassociation.org...

OLDCATLADY.. when you log on to your student account from Farmingale, what program does it say your in. Mine still reads Health Sciences, Nursing.....not just Nursing.

It seems most full time students take Micro in the second semester of Nursing (according to the course description chart I saw online). First semester is 108 concepts I and 100 (and ENG 102+child development which you probably have already). Second s...

The proctor at the exam on March 25th said that they make final decisions after Easter.

Dont worry about the BSN yet. There are so many schools that offer ADN to BSN. Post offers it and has a lot of flexibility for the working nurse. A lot of hospitals offer tuition reimbursment for staff who would like to return for a BSN. Cross that b...
