Of course, the excitement of beginning anything can be enough to make you want it NOW, but is anyone else as impatient as I to get started with pre-reqs., clinicals, and ultimately being an RN? This attitude has always helped me in the past with acco...

Funny you say that, because before I had my daughter, the only way I was able to afford a beautiful suburb of Queens (Fresh Meadows) was to have a roommate! And that's Queens! Not so easy w/a family. Oh well ... :) .

If annonny had to suffer $300 more while being paid less than she was in California, with two degrees working in a similar field, what does that say for everyone else?????? Excuse the rant, I'm just very passionate when society tries to feed me some...

Anonny, I am impressed beyond words. How did you manage to score that with no broker fee/credit or income check?

No Krissypoo, not that much more, to be quite honest. Depending on what industry szccdw is in, market rents in Manhattan and a few other select places in the five boroughs are out of the question. Deb, you and I know that although those prices you qu...

Agreed! :) Posters who are already RNs are probably "Awwww" -ing us to death; aren't we adorable?! Until of course, we're ready to post on the "Most Disturbing Thing You've Seen in Clinicals" board!

Me too, Z! Both for the patience of a fly and wanting to work the "graveyard". I guess I worry because my current secular workload won't allow me to even begin pre-reqs. properly until the Spring semester (I just found out how intense training for a ...

Yes, men of color do seem to be left out of the comparison, don't they? Me, to the rescue. "Men of color also experience wage discrimination, with African-American men earning 75¢ and Latinos earning only 64¢ for every dollar paid to their white male...

Congratulations! Warmest wishes and the best of luck in your career! :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

I don't yet know what its like, but I'm definitely marking this thread for later reference! Thanks! :)

Hello all! I am beginning an ADN program in the Fall at the Borough of Manhattan Community College; I'm preparing my schedule now. That, my significant other, my daughter (14 mo. old) and a career with a fluctuating schedule are just a few of the cur...

Hello all, I am very excited about beginning an ADN program in the Fall at BMCC in New York. I have taken a somewhat challenging curricula in the past when my major was Computer Science, and prior to each semester I would get the curriculum notices f...

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Computer Science.

Congratulations!

Oh, and to never have something negative to say about another child's appearance while you're pregnant, or your baby will "come out ugly"! I admit, I obeyed that one religiously!

A fellow co-worker told me that she knew I was having a girl because my nose was wider at the bridge? The power of suggestion? Maybe, but it sure did look wider!

I went and did exactly what you said peaceful ... my dreams and goals are what got this started and they're what will get me out of it (just kidding ... meant to say 'keep me going')! Thanks again!

Amen to ALL the folks but especially mothers out there with their minds on providing ... mentally, physically, emotionally and FINANCIALLY ... to us its all the same and if we can find a way to contribute to the lives of our families and possibly bet...

I felt highly compelled to post to this thread. Nursing is not my calling. I hadn't blinked an eye at it until my "significant other" told me how much his sister made last year. I am definitely a disgruntled IT drone, and the rate at which those and ...

I guess I really never officially left! My parents are in East Patchogue and I'm out to see them constantly ... I hear Suffolk's nursing department is AWESOME. Congratulations ... I considered actually coming back to the island for that very reason, ...

Very scary. Beyond drawing new students to Nursing programs, is there another solution right now? How serious is the situation with traveling nurses? After all, they are nurses like any other, and one would think, or at least want to believe that the...

Hi SCmomof3, Try http://www.studygs.net/ then, under 'Preparing to Learn' go to 'Exploring Your Own Learning Style' and there are a few links there including this one: http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html which I think is an identical ...

Hi studentNY, I grew up in Bellport! Where are you attending school, if I may ask?
