  1. Pace University Spring 2012

    maybesooninny replied to electricL's topic in New York Nursing

    Sure. I graduated last December. What do you want to

  2. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    maybesooninny replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    That place is AWFUL. I can't imagine anyplace being worse. Senior Management works so hard to keep their "Planetree" status. Planetree my butt. They are so

  3. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    maybesooninny replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    The whole place sucks. Patients think the nursing care is great, but us nurses themselves feel like there are cameras somewhere waiting for us to drop a pill or get a BP wrong so one of the nasty...

  4. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    maybesooninny replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    $32.70/hour for BSN. Northern Westchester has a "dirty little secret" that most people on the outside are not aware of. Nurse preceptors are in the business of ratting orientees out for every single...

  5. Pace University Spring 2012

    maybesooninny replied to electricL's topic in New York Nursing

    Sure. I had a really good GPA in undergrad, like a 3.9, but my prerequisites were not great. I got a C+ in A&P I, a B in A&P II, a B+ in Chem and a B+ in Micro. We had to take the GRE's,...

  6. Pace University Spring 2012

    maybesooninny replied to electricL's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know. *I know they're pretty stringent about the grades you get on the prereq's. *Call and find out. * I just graduated 20 days ago from the CDP program. *Definitely life-changingly difficult....

  7. CDP Pace University One year program

    maybesooninny replied to jomajoma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd be glad to help you. I'm in the program now and can definitely help. But I'd rather email you offline -- not in this forum. Can you provide me with your email address? This way I can speak...

  8. Pace University CDP

    maybesooninny replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    You're welcome. Sounded like you needed some balance. I heard some scary stuff going in, too, and was pretty scared, but everybody is different. The people who go in knowing what they're getting...

  9. Pace University CDP

    maybesooninny replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    Newnurse1234, I'm halfway through the 2-year "part-time" program at Pace. Most of what is said is kinda true, but in the end, how successful you are is up to you. Even the two year program isn't...

  10. CDP Pace University One year program

    maybesooninny replied to jomajoma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. I'm about halfway thru the 2 year accellerated Pleasantville CDP program -- had all my prerequisites going in so started clinicals my first semester. It is very hard. NO question. And they drop...

  11. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Fortunately or unfortunately, Pace and anybody else's nursing programs have a plentitude of willing and able students to take their place. They have no remorse about flunking people out

  12. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    The possibility of being kicked out is very real. I'd say at least ten people out of 60 (which is about the total number of people in the one year and two year programs combined) were dismissed from...

  13. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Agreed. I got a C+ in A&P I and applied to the one year program but was accepted into the 2 year program. When I asked, I was told that although my undergrad performance was stellar, the...

  14. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    They don't want to see C+'s in anything in the prereq's but perhaps the Organic Chem will help. I really don't know. I'm only in my second semester of part time study. The total amount of tuition...

  15. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    You're welcome. I was just speaking to a classmate yesterday who is in the 1-year program who said her undergrad grades were just a 3.0, but she got A's in her prerequisite classes and did really...

  16. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    My undergraduate GPA was a 4.0, actually, but my GRE scores weren't so fabulous. I can't recall exactly, but they were around 1000, maybe 1050. They really look at your grades in the prerequisite...

  17. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm in the program now. It's hard to get in to, yes. Every single person in the program has pretty amazing credentials -- many have Ivy League degrees. Everyone is very smart. I would recommend...

  18. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey, do we have to start the first day with the blue scrubs and shoes, stethoscope, bp cuff and all? I know it was in the list of things we need, but they didn't mention exactly when we need to have...

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Student, did you hear anything back

  20. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Mark --why was the two-year program too expensive? From what I could tell the educational piece is the same expense either way. The lost income in not being done for another year is a factor for me....

  21. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    I can tell you that the reason is probably that you don't have all the prereq's completed or most likely that they did not like the grades you got in

  22. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Student 002 do you know how to private message? I got a response from Pace but I got thinking perhaps the admissions committee sees this stuff so I don't wanna post it on the site. If you know how...

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Maybe I better call him this afternoon and see what's going on. Maybe he never got her grade report

  24. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Congratulations!!! Are you one of the people they came back to and asked for input from current professors on how you're doing in classes up till

  25. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    maybesooninny replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in New York Nursing

    Naah. Some people I know who applied when I did got rejection letters right away, too. It kinda seems like if you're a clear cut yes or no, they let you know right away. It's those of us on the...
