  2. second degree nursing admissions new york

    DoGoodThenGo replied to needingsomeanswers's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh, about BMCC. Historically BMCC had one of the lowest (if not the lowest) board passing rate of all CUNY nursing programs, indeed of all NYC area programs. The response has been to tighten up...

  3. second degree nursing admissions new york

    DoGoodThenGo replied to needingsomeanswers's topic in New York Nursing

    Unless Imissed something, Beth Israel only offers an ADN degree. Off the top of my head the only second degree programs in NYC that spring to mind are: Hunter College, NYU, College of Mount Saint...

  4. Pre Nursing Failure HELP? :( (many answers please!)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Hawkins11377's topic in New York Nursing

    As stated upthread, all CUNY schools are part of the same system. Via your name and or SSN you are easily found and thus cannot "drop" anything. Not that removing a class was possible in the first...

  5. Nursing School 1900's Style - You Thought Your Program Was Difficult?

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Pull up a chair and have a cup of tea whilst taking a look back at what nursing education was like at the turn of the last century....

  6. Nursing School 1900's Style - You Thought Your Program Was Difficult?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Actually at that time *all* student (probation) nurses lived at the residence halls provided by the hospital under conditions that probably would have made the convent or military seem

  7. Nursing School 1900's Style - You Thought Your Program Was Difficult?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    All kidding aside those girls got a very advanced education for females in that era. If one disregards all the household busy work, there is quite allot that is contained in many modern nursing...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tastemocha's topic in New York Nursing

    In NYS the Department of Health controls hospitals, while the Board of Regents/New York State Department of Education controls schools/places of higher learning. Each have their own rules and...

  9. Pre Nursing Failure HELP? :( (many answers please!)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Hawkins11377's topic in New York Nursing

    There are two parts in becoming a transfer student. First you must be formally accepted into whatever new college/university one applies to, then there is the matter of entry into one's major. One...

  10. Pre Nursing Failure HELP? :( (many answers please!)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Hawkins11377's topic in New York Nursing

    Since you are not formally admitted to the nursing program you do have the option of simply going elsewhere and starting over. Other schools are going to ask for all transcripts of previous work and...

  11. Working as a CNA in NYC - Okay or Awful?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to natasharostova's topic in New York Nursing

    It's been years but am here to tell you pay wasn't that luxurious back in the 1980's and from what one hears hasn't changed that much (adjusted for inflation). Hospital, LTC, nursing home, and home...

  12. ObamaCare/Health Reform Law Blamed for Nursing Strikes

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Article claims that the new healthcare reform laws will increase workloads and make worse the shortage of primary care physicans. This in turn increases stresses on the nursing staff, which may lead...

  13. Can I apply in another state if denied or while waiting for a hearing with BON

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse_wannab's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Forgot to mention that the main reason your scheme wouldn't work is most if not all applications will ask if you have ever been refused a license and or had one revoked. If you answer "yes" you can be...

  14. Can I apply in another state if denied or while waiting for a hearing with BON

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse_wannab's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    For your purposes "state" shopping will no good. All fifty state BONs ask the same questions more or less about criminal convictions, and require background checks that will include state and...

  15. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students

    Are you nuts? One A&P class with micro alone is bad enough, but both? And over the summer? Also I know it's been awhile, but doesn't one normally have to complete A&PI before taking...

  16. Failed nursing first time, no CUNY would take me back. What to do next?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Your post still isn't clear as to why you weren't admitted to CSI. Let's go around the back door of the barn. What was your pre-nursing culumative GPA? If it was below 2.5, or whatever the program...

  17. Still can't obtain employment at the hospital... been outta school for a month.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the grand scheme of things one month for a job search ain't nothing. Just because *you* have plans it does not automatically follow employers are going to fall in line with them, so you'll have to...

  18. Failed nursing first time, no CUNY would take me back. What to do next?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry, but do not understand your post. If you merely applied and did not make it into the upcoming class you can stay at CSI, continue taking classes and reapply for the next class. However if you...

  19. 0.9 points kept me from graduating with my ADN. What to do?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jess1980's topic in General Students

    Not wishing to sound rude, but schools/programs do not "flunk" anyone, students fail or pass an exam themselves, it is that simple. This applies regardless of the class or degree one is attending...

  20. 0.9 points kept me from graduating with my ADN. What to do?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jess1980's topic in General Students

    First let me say to the OP, you has my sympathies, and I am truly sorry for your current situation. Sadly it is not a uncommon one as schools seem to be drawing a line in the sand and anyone who...

  21. Should we curtail the growth of nursing programs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know how "controlled" the law profession is, I mean anyone with the proper grades and funds can go to law school. Once that is over all that remains is topass the bar exam. Indeed the NYT amoung...

  22. Should we curtail the growth of nursing programs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

  24. Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing
