Any??

Before I explain what's going on, I have checked into every community college in the area. I live in PA and have always wanted to be a nurse. There are no colleges around me that have nursing. I would rather live in the NY or even NJ area anyway though. However, there are no reasonably priced schools with housing. The only school I could find is Hunter which is very competitive and probably not likely. I also looked at Farmingdale State which seems okay but I would need a single and there are barely any of those. Monroe College is another option. However, it is in a rough neighborhood and the dorms are not at their nursing campus. My parents cannot pay a dime for my education so I would need to take out loans. I do not know if I should just go for it. Yes, I will be in tons of debt. Isn't debt worth being happy though? I will not change my major no matter how much it costs. Nursing is what I want to do.

Can anyone explain Hunter's pre-req's and what else you need to get accepted into the program? Is it a double acceptance as in you must be accepted into CUNY and then the program itself?

Is there dorms

Hunter doesn't have ADN programs.

Do they take students for fall and spring?

What is the total cost of their LPN program in Manhattan?

I cannot find one other than farmingdale with barely any singles

What is their admissions process and do they have a website?? I can't get into contact with anyone.

Does anyone know if there are any housing locations in Manhattan other than Educational Housing Services? They want at least $18,000 per year and that's ridiculous. I cannot find any other housing. Any suggestions?

do you know where it states what biology course you need? I have Intro to Physiology (a BIOL course at Penn State) and I'm also taking A&P I, Chem I, and Microbiology.

Is this program still open? How do you apply?

I'm looking for an ADN program in New York. Does anyone know the requirements to get into City Tech's ADN program? It says you have to have pre-req's for the introductory semester and that you need to take the NLN during your introductory semester. It doesn't say what the requirements are to get in at all though. Any other ADN programs?

I think people were not sure what the post was about. The title said "Nursing job: Looking for a MA/LPN". The reason why it is offensive is not because one is better than the other but that physicians who are running their practices do not want to differentiate between titles. It's as if just because we aren't physicians, we are just automatically all the same thing.

I didn't post this thread to state that MA's were lower. That was not my purpose. I should not be called a MA when I am not and vice versa. That is what it is about. It is misleading to the patient. I do not have every qualification to be a MA just like an MA does not have every qualification to be an LPN. I don't see why anyone is getting offended. I actually did get the job and wanted to make sure the office knew what they hired! I am not a MA.
