  1. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    Nothing here yet, the actual interview event date is april 27th, so it's close, but I suppose they still have time to sort things out.
  2. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    The only change I noticed was that the "continue application" button was unavailable today. So I guess they just started sifting through the applications?
  3. Northshore LIJ

    Which positions did you apply for? I've applied to nearly 30 positions, and haven't heard anything
  4. When it comes time for you to ask questions, all them when the start date is for this particular position and how long the orientation is. If they call you back, you can continue that conversation further then.
  5. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    Yes, I just got this same email today.
  6. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    I'm in the same boat, still playing the waiting game.
  7. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    Good luck, I'm hoping I get invited too. I missed the last one because I was looking at the actual new grad page for upcoming dates instead of the career events page.

    You might be talking about the battery test. If so, this is an exam to get an idea of the type of person you are. They give these tests to everyone who qualifies to be reviewed.
  10. NYP Meet and Greet January 2016

    I have been checking the New Grad Nurses page since december, and never saw an update. how did you guys know about the meet and greet? and does anyone know when the next one is?
  11. Chances of getting into city tech nursing program

    here's a hint: if those are the only classes you messed up on go to laguardia cc. they let you retake/sub courses but only in your initial semester there. but note, eng 101 and psych 100 are among the easier classes. you would need 2 classes of anato...
  12. From RN to BSN

    I just started it. Coming from their AAS, its definitely less intense. Classes are either hybrid or fully online, but for research I think its better to come in for class because some of the concepts and what she wants for her assignments are more in...
  13. CUNY City Tech RN-BSN

    I just started my first semester as BSN student here, I was wondering if anyone has finished this program here before, and what you're experience was. I feel a little out of my element with these new courses and would like some insight on what to e...
  14. You need to take the remedial course before the pre-req math; in this case, I'm assuming you're referring to the MAT 1175, and MAT 1275. However, I got around this by going to the admissions office in N-109 (i think) and speaking to someone. I asked ...
  15. The Brooklyn Hospital Center

    can you describe your application and interview/clearance process for volunteering there? i just got my last ppd today for medical requirements
  16. I would really appreciate some constructive notes on this. I've used information I picked up from these forums and several other websites to create this resume. Its two pages, but I feel it is stronger with my previous work history (unrelated to heal...
  17. Recent NCLEX-RN Takers,select all that apply content/Questions

    To answer your question, yes I passed it. However my friend had about 20 SATA, I guess I just got lucky
  18. FAILED NCLEX W/76 QUESTIONS, need help :(

    Thanks. Now I'm concerned with my friend who went to the Philippines to do her nursing. I know over there the hands on experience is WAY better than in the US. If you would have taken your Philippine boards, then came to the US and taken the NCLEX so...
  19. Recent NCLEX-RN Takers,select all that apply content/Questions

    I finished in 75 questions and got maybe 4 SATA. Most management questions, and one exhibit where they give you a client's H&P, labs, scripts, and d/c teaching; they asked which of the following would not part of d/c teaching. It was incredibly e...
  20. FAILED NCLEX W/76 QUESTIONS, need help :(

    Could there be such a thing as studying too much? I barely passed my nursing classes with all C+ and a couple B-, and took Kaplan as part of my school's curriculum which was 2 weeks, and full access to their test banks. I scheduled my nclex for 1 mon...
  21. Do you read the entire book?

    If they gave you a syllabus with the reading pages assigned, I would say to breeze through it once for a quick overview of whats to come. Then look at the syllabus and direct your studying to those concepts. I dont know why nursing schools give you a...
  22. Book you can't live without.

    I love the Fundamentals Success and Med-Surg Success books. I love doing practice questions because it helps me identify what I need on the actual exam.
  23. Binders for notes?

    I keep binders for all my books and classes. In short, I've had all my textbooks cut and drilled for cheap and placed into their own binders. As for the classes, I keep a legal writing pad for notes, and a 1/2" binder for each nursing class containin...
  24. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    I use a big dry-erase wall calendar from staples. its double sided, one for 120 days (4 months) and another for 90 days (3 months.) I use this calendar religiously for everything I need in life as a nursing student and as a normal NYC resident. It p...
  25. Nursing student weight

    One of the new nurses at the unit I was externing at said she gained 30 lbs, and that she was just now getting back to her usual 108 (very tiny woman.) I, so far, am about to start my third semester and have gained 10lbs, I made an effort to lose wei...
