  1. Attention NY nurses!!!

    Destin293 replied to UPSgirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What is the pay like in Syracuse? I'm originally from Utica, but live in NYC, and I was considering going back until I heard the nurses are only paid about $45,000 (which is too low even by upstate...

  2. Attention NY nurses!!!

    Destin293 replied to UPSgirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the heads up!! Hopefully a similar opportunity will still be around next year after I graduate with my BSN. Plattsburgh was one of the areas I was considering so this is great

  3. Lehman College CUNY admission question

    Destin293 replied to HazyMaze's topic in New York Nursing

    February is probably too late unless you speak with admissions and see if they have any on the spot admission decision days. I applied for fall 2013 in November of last year and didn't receive the...

  4. Lehman College CUNY admission question

    Destin293 replied to HazyMaze's topic in New York Nursing

    At Lehman, you must first be accepted as a student before you can apply to the actual nursing program -- it's 2 separate applications. I don't know what would happen if you selected nursing as your...

  5. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    They don't look at your previous GPA, only your pre-req GPA and HESI score. The cut off for accelerated for the incoming Fall 2013 class was a 3.78 and for generic about a 3.5. They also don't allow...

  6. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    Has anyone in the accelerated program have problems registering for NUR 330? I was able to register for the other 3 classes with no problem, but for NUR 330, it says I can't because requisites have...

  7. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    RPI!!! =) I'm originally from Utica -- not exactly neighboring Rensselaer , but I still consider it pretty close. Are you originally from upstate? As for my story, I went to Stony Brook and majored...

  8. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    What Toya said is great -- if your heart is in NYU, then go for it! If the financial burden is a big deal, then I'd stick with Lehman. I briefly considered NYU, but their $45,000 a year price tag...

  10. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Destin293 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, agree, agree, agree!!!!!!! I have to grin when I hear people say nursing is hard and the money isn't that great for what's required, because it's obvious they have never worked in social...

  11. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    Destin293 replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, you're not stupid for deciding against the ABSN. I was just accepted to an ABSN program and I'm feeling like I should have went the traditional route (in fact, I was hoping I wouldn't be admitted...

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

  14. Anatomy and Physiology

    Destin293 replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YouTube is always a great resource for understanding topics that your book or professor may not be able to explain in a way that it makes sense to you -- just type in a search and look through the...

  15. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    The countdown has started -- hopefully we all hear back soon! As a little FYI, they haven't started reviewing the applications yet. I spoke with the secretary after learning my BMCC transcript I...

  16. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Destin293 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    I also applied for fall 2013, but I'm not too sure I'll get in. I just dropped off the area of concentration form (I'm a 2nd degree student) and the transfer credit evaluation form today. I spoke...

  17. CUNY LEHMAN - Accelerated Program Questions

    Destin293 replied to Patience2's topic in New York Nursing

    No, you don't have to be a student there, but it helps in terms of deadlines. If you're already taking classes at Lehman and then apply to the nursing program, it makes it easier to get everything in...

  18. When all sections are closed, what do you do!?

    Destin293 posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I'm applying to 3 programs (2 ADN, 1 BSN). The BSN program I'm applying to is CUNY Lehman and one of the requirements is to be accepted to the school before applying. I applied in early November of...

  19. CUNY LEHMAN - Accelerated Program Questions

    Destin293 replied to Patience2's topic in New York Nursing

    I just wanted to update again in case anyone is looking on how to apply. I went to Lehman today and talked to admissions about the transfer credit evaluation and they said there was nothing they...

  20. CUNY LEHMAN - Accelerated Program Questions

    Destin293 replied to Patience2's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think the transfer credit evaluation takes very long. At BMCC, I sat down with someone for a few minutes and they looked at my information and transferred the credits to BMCC's system -- it...

  21. CUNY LEHMAN - Accelerated Program Questions

    Destin293 replied to Patience2's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, I was accepted as a student to Lehman -- I received my letter on March 1st (it was dated February 25th). I applied back in November and actually forgot I even applied until I received the...

  22. CUNY LEHMAN - Accelerated Program Questions

    Destin293 replied to Patience2's topic in New York Nursing

    Were you a student at Lehman while you applied? I'm currently filling out the application for entrance into the program for fall 2013 and just had a "scary" chat with someone in Lehman admissions....

  23. Is the TEAS V really that hard???

    Destin293 replied to Destin293's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thanks everyone for the replies, they definitely helped ease my nerves a little. I took it last night and didn't do as well as I would have liked (77, which put me in the 84th percentile), but...

  24. RN Mom: Where Do Nurses Live in New York City?

    Destin293 replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    True, but the same goes for all of the NYC area. A good friend of mine purchased a house in Westchester and pays about $10k in taxes -- which is what the going rate is in Nassau county (my...

    Destin293 posted a topic in General Students

    I received something in the mail today regarding participation in the International Scholar Laureate program and was wondering if anyone else had any recent experience with it? I did some research...
