  1. I am so confused about NY hosptials PLEASE HELP ME

    loriann replied to ctbtrini's topic in New York Nursing

    I think NYC is a great place to live, but it's not for everyone. Housing is expensive, which is probably what most people are turned off by, so you will most likely end up living in a smallish...

  2. Did you live off of student loans while in school?

    loriann replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing a combination of living off student loans and working part-time. I just left my fulltime job so I could go to a fulltime accelerated BSN program. I have a part-time job on weekends which...

    loriann replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, I haven't started at Downstate yet, but will be happy to let you know more as time goes on. As far as the job market is for NYC (Manhattan), the starting pay for new RNs is around $63,000 to...

  4. NYU, SUNY Brooklyn, or Columbia???

    loriann replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in New York Nursing

    I'll be in Downstate's accelerated program this summer, so it's good to see another going. :) I think the disorganization you speak of with Downstate exists with most accelerated programs, especially...

  5. HELP! Know Any Tricks to Remember Cardiac Blood Flow?

    loriann replied to hangnon's topic in General Students

    I used to have problems remembering if the tricuspid valve came before the bicuspid. Somebody in my class said, "Always try before you buy..." so that helped me

  6. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    loriann replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    Very scary...I'm not a nurse yet, but talking to others, I get the sense that malpractice insurance is a necessity. We live in such a letigious society, so it's scary to think of yourself going into...

  7. Cheating

    loriann replied to stressgal's topic in General Students

    During my last Microbiology exam, the instructor caught a student cheating (she had copies of all the answer keys). I think it's a shame, as this person is obviously limiting herself and trying to...

  9. Any NY Psych Nurses?

    loriann replied to FutureRNMichael's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi There: Sorry I can't answer your first question for you, but I'm wondering what people mean by NYC being a "rough and tough place." I've visited Oregon and other parts of the West and Pacific...

    loriann replied to szccdw's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with the last post. I'm living at 111th Street and paying $1,100.00 for my room in a 2BR apartment. When school starts for me next year, I will probably move into the Washington...

  12. Online Class Information

    loriann posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Could anyone suggest an online school where I could take Microbiology. I was supposed to take it this semester at a community college, however, life circumstances prevented me from doing so. This is...

  13. Online Class Information

    loriann replied to loriann's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the info. I'll start with the community college advisor and check out those other sites.

  14. Suny?

    loriann replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think SUNY Brooklyn is that much. I thought it was more like $12,000 for 15 months. I applied there, but I've packed up my information and the website is currently

    loriann replied to loriann's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for the replies. It was hospitalsoup.com, I just messed up what I wrote. I will check out Jeffrey Hale Hospital if we move there. I guess the upside to moving there would be an...

    loriann replied to FutureArmyNurse's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. I took A&P II as a 6-week summer course and worked full-time. Classes were right after work, running from 5:30 till 8:30 Monday thru Thursday. It was hard, but I usually...

  19. Weed Out Courses?

    loriann replied to luv2yoga's topic in General Students

    I took A&P I during a spring semester and II during a summer course (8 week session). It was difficult because I was also working full time, but you will need to study every night and probably...
