I took it last fall and loved it. It's not all memorization like the A&Ps were, you have to perform experiments, stains, write papers, etc. To study the stains used, I'd get an index card with a droplet of each stain, the name and what test/bac...

Sorry to hear that, kwanee. MsLotus provided a few good schools, you can also look into Dominican College, which is across the bridge - They have an accelerated track as well as an individualized track. I'm not sure when their deadline is though. ...

I agree with the above poster. Unless you were hired as an LPN, you won't receive LPN pay. If you applied for a CNA position and got hired, you get paid the CNA rate. In most places you are paid by the position you got hired for, not by other lice...

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 others - With the exception of SUNY Acclerated BS...

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 your class or ask your professor to help you during f...

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 Spring 2009, but deferred because I wanted to hear ba...

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 assume the facility you interviewed with has a low...

This is hilarious, I can't fathom anyone doing any of these! :smackingf

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 be - Often I feel I've seen it all and nothing ca...

Haha,

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 @ concordia-ny.edu

Did you go to the orientation yet? I went last night.

My goodness, do we get calculators in the med room or we have to do all of this off the top of our heads?! Haha

Thank you, sorry about that! :imbar

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 already!

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 experience - Take some classes to help you out with ...

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 studies.

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. I work in a hospital as well, I'm going to try an...

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 information I received regarding housing stated it wou...

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 family/friends that live near the school so I can just stay...

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 Concordia as well, and Dr. Susan Apold was so awe...

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 do have, have been strongly encouraged and given th...

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 April 30th, a health assessment form that needs to...
