I sent you a PM

I start their program on May 24th. They have satellite offices in several locations. You go once a week for 4 hours. You can also opt to do it totally online. I spoke to two people who graduated from the program. They stated the program was OK.

I am happy for you. Make sure you extend a helping hand when you are in the position to do so. In NY no hospital system have a monoploy on hiring for several facilities. Every hospital have their own HR. Surgicenters, physician offices, outpatient cl...

tigerbloodRN are you from NC or NY. If you are from NY, did you receive help to get in PRES new grad program or did you do it on your own?

I received another opportunity to interview at a nursing home called the Brian Center. They have several locations BUT, the shift offered was only 3-11pm with every other weekend. This is the worst shift with a child so I declined the interview oppor...

No I did not get the job. To put it simply. The Nurse Manager was willing to hire me but CMC HR wouldn't let him interview me because I was a new grad. HR told him I have to go thru there new grad program unless I had six months of experience. If I ...

Don't split unless you have children and working simultaneously. If you do work drop the job to minimum hours (one day. LOL)and take a student loan to cover your expenses. I don't care how much the loan is because the end result is you have your degr...

I just graduated but, the advice will forever remain the same. Some people are fast learners and can retain a lot so they can remember and understand concepts on short notice. for example acid base balances. Some people take a little longer to digest...

was you successful in finding a job yet?

Congratulation on graduating next week. I received my NC temporary license within one week of applying online. Then you have six months to complete it. I didn't get the position yet. I am just waiting for the position to show up onliine in CMC websi...

I am 37 and a new grad (adn) from NY. My view about the job situation down here is you are very lucky if they call you for a position. My friend works for CMC and she told me most positions filled by new grads without being hired from the new grad p...

hello missna4u, can you pm me. I just moved to NC from NY as a new grad RN. I would like to ask you somethings regarding the childcare issue while working CMC

Your story is one of hundreds that I read and commit to memory from this website. Thanks.

It is "going." Everything is OK. Only five more weeks.

Don't lose your license. Oh, what is the name of that facility again so I can surround it with yellow police tape and label it a crime scene. LOLOLOLOL

Good luck to everyone

My friend took the nclex and failed the first time. then she took kaplan and passed with 75 questions the second time. She stated the Kaplan is the nclex in terms of similiarity

I also see you are taking AP1/Mat 1275 in the fall which means if you apply to the nursing program for admission in Spring 2012 and get accepted you will be taking AP2 in 1st semester. This is doable but, not the best idea. If you make it without fai...

Taking courses in the summer is not a bad thing but, the teacher you have is a major factor. Look up the teacher on rate my professor. This website have been my bible regarding how I select my teachers.

when are you taking AP 1 and Mat 1275. Are you taking it now or in the summer. Make sure you try to get A's in any other non nursing course. The nursing courses can dramatically lower your GPA. Even though getting A's in nursing courses is not imposs...

I hope you received and high grade in English 101 or English 102 and Psych 100. They want to see your gpa for Ap1, English 1,Psych 1, and Mat 1275. they will substitute one class for its counterpart to help boost your gpa. example I received a B- in ...

I took microbiology in 2nd semester with my two nursing classes. I did make it but, I would not recommend this option. it was very stressful and time consuming. Microbiology in addition to my nursing class was an heavy load. I would only recommend ta...

My GPA was 3.6 now it is 3.0. I am in my last semester at City Tech. My recommendation is to finish your prereqs early so you sole concentration is on the nursing classes. The post from Tinkerbell described my experience perfectly.

Hello mymy1219, I am starting 4th semester in 4 weeks. What do you want to know specifically about NYCCT nursing program?
