  2. College of New Rochelle Accelerated Program

    Oh okay, I was assuming your main concern was acceptance/rejection into a program judging by your previous post I quoted. Well, all second degree programs are going to be expensive, some more so than...
  3. HELP HELP

    I agree. You should do all of the questions and show all of your work. You won't learn anything if you keep looking for answers on here. Why don't you create/join a study group with students in...
  4. College of New Rochelle Accelerated Program

    BlackBeauty, Have you looked into Concordia College in Bronxville, NY? They just began a 15 month accelerated BSN program last fall and I got in for this fall 2009. I too got accepted to CNR for...
  5. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    We're the same age, I don't consider us late-entry! I was actually the minority in all of my prerequisite classes, the majority of students in my classes were older than I was! It seems accurate to...

    This is hilarious, I can't fathom anyone doing any of these!
  7. Pre-nursing Students, CNA's, Current Nurses.....

    Hey, I will be starting an accelerated BSN program in the fall and I have the same worries. I've been working in psych for the past 8 years and it's no where as terrible as it's sometimes made out to...

    Haha,
  9. From my understanding they are full for Fall 2009 but are accepting applications for Fall 2010. You can check for all the details on their website @

    Thank you, sorry about that!
  13. Organizational Tool

    Wow, that's great. If you can email it to me via my profile, it will be greatly appreciated. I am starting nursing school in the fall and I have so much anxiety
  14. I agree that you need to work on your English skills, but your employer had to see this coming when they hired you... So, there may be more to your story. All I can say is take this as a learning...
  15. Hospital Hierarchy

    In my facility, the NP reports to the medical director/MD of the unit, none of the nursing staff. Hope this helps and good luck in your
  16. Yea I don't blame you. If we have 2 clinicals a week, I can't see them going past 2pm. I guess we'll find out soon! I received my email address, user name and password from them today in the mail....
  17. That commute would be insane for you! When do you hear back from the schools in Jersey? Do you think you'll still go to Concordia even if you find out you're accepted to the other schools? The...
  18. Oh that commute isn't bad, it's about the same for me. I was thinking about dorming, but I've never dormed and can't imagine actually doing it haha. I'll deal with the driving, plus I have...
  19. Oh cool, good luck with the other applications! Would you be commuting from Jersey? If so, how long would it take you? I'm going to be commuting from Putnam County, NY. I was really impressed with...
  20. Need some advice - LPN first, then RN?

    Hey, congrats on the A average! :yeah:If I were you, I'd go straight for the RN. I work in a hospital and they stopped hiring LPN's, I've heard most hospitals have started doing that. The LPNs we...
  21. Hey, congrats on your acceptance! I got a phone call as well and I received my packet on Friday, mailed out my deposit on Saturday. The packet included a letter that said they needed the deposit by...
