Boxer Mama I'm right there with you in the sense of not caring about the congratulations. I'm 33 and will graduate from a BSN program in NYC in May of 2013. This was a decision that I made for my own life and sense of accomplishment, it doesn't nee...

Did they change this rule because they updated their website and there's nothing listed about being at the school a semester before applying? I was going to go see one of their advisement counselors but I know last spring that rule was still in plac...

Hi Mellieinab, I'm EXTREMELY interested in SB since it looks like a great program and the price tag isn't outrageous. How are you liking it? I'm thinking of applying over the next few months for the accelerated program. My GPA is almost 3.9 in Pre...

Hi Barkow, I just looked at their website but they mentioned that it's advisable to apply in the Fall a year before you want to be admitted. Did they require that you had every pre requisite done when you applied or were you allowed to finish classe...

It also seems kind of nuts that they don't want you to send a resume or recommendation letters for a 2nd degree program!? I guess it's purely on GPA and that's it. I'm wondering how they determine how a candidate would be a good fit for the school,...

Hey Schick and ItsaRoad.. Thanks for the quick reply about the pre requisites. You guys are ON IT! Prepared to the fullest :) Out of curiosity I was looking at deadlines etc. for 2011 but I didn't know that so many people were already prepared to...

Quick question, has everyone already finished all of their pre requisites or you will finish them by this coming fall term 2010? I need to finish three classes in the Spring 2011 term so I was wondering. I just called the admissions office but they...

I passed also! Just found my name on the registry. If you think the RN marks something wrong while you're performing your clinical skills you'll most likely be OK because you're allowed a few minor mistakes.

I took the test today: 1. Handwashing 2. Indirect Care 3. Weight 4. Ambulation 5. Peri Care. The test giver was on the phone while I was doing Peri Care about an emergency so I hope I passed! I was extremely nervous so take a deep breath, or MANY an...

I had the same exact skills today, I'm freaking out about my test and seeing if I can get the results earlier than 5 days because I don't want to be banging my head against the wall for the whole week :) Hopefully the results will come up before then...

Hi Dee, I think I have a situation similar to yours with the transcript situation since I wanted to register for classes right away for summer. When registering they weren't sure about my status and placing people into pre-clinical (or pre-req class...

Hi ddeguzman2, Thanks for all of the information in your post before but I have a few more questions for you. Are you in the clinical portion of the program at BMCC? I've just registered for courses over the summer and fall for pre-requisites to t...

Also, Isabella is one of the nursing homes where people do their externships during the class so you might not have to wait six months to get a spot for the next free spot if you go for a grant from workforce 1.

I'm almost done with the program at New Age Training. It has taken longer than expected but is up to par with the other programs offered in NYC. You can also get a voucher for this program from Workforce 1. I think a lot of the CNA courses in NYC ...

Hi Everyone, I'm in a Phlebotomy class right now and we are drawing from each other every day. Is this healthy regarding mental capacity and RBC count after taking blood every day for three weeks? We are taking approximately 2.5 ml. in each draw an...

Thanks for the info. Kimberlina, I'm done with the sticks, Finally! But I did end up getting some scarring where I was stuck about 30x in each arm. The vein ended up becoming very hard and swollen but it's relaxing finally and getting back to norma...

We have to do a total of 25 sticks before the class ends at the end of three weeks and then they help us find an internship or volunteer position to get the remaining 75 sticks needed to work in a hospital after the class is over. We need 25 to tak...

Also, we're doing about 4 draws a day. :)

Hi Evie, I'm in the same situation with another school in Manhattan for CNA, what school did you end up choosing for your PCT? I'm looking around and doing research now and it would help me out a lot! Thanks

Hi Misslady, Such great advice, thanks for letting me know what you went through to get the grant. After doing some research on when the next classes were starting for numerous schools and how much time I have to spend on taking these classes full t...

Thanks for the quick reply Misslady. I think they have made it a lot harder to get a grant over the past year, since I haven't worked for over 6 months in the healthcare industry my counselor doesn't think that I'll get the voucher. She said I coul...

Misslady113 Did you end up finishing the combined CNA + PCT at New Age? I went through the grant workshop at Workforce 1 today and am trying to figure out which school to apply to. Thank in advance! Also, do they assist you with finding work after ...
