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

    Destin293 replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    I just read the extra posts and wanted to add a little more. If you're going to be placed in the Bronx, you'll want to count out Brooklyn for living -- it will take you forever and a day to get up to...

  2. Cost of accelerated nursing programs

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I was excited to see a college near my former hometown JUST started an accelerated nursing program. I've been wanting to move back home, so I thought it would be a good opportunity -- then I learned...

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

    Destin293 replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    I know this is old, but I'd avoid Sunset Park. It looks good during the day, but when the lights go down, it's a bit sketchy. Sheepshead Bay isn't too bad, it's right on the Q line so it's a good...

  4. Can someone explain the whole "wait" thing?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Right now I'm wrapping up my pre-req's for nursing and last night I was having a conversation with one of my classmates about where we're going to apply. I mentioned all CUNY and SUNY schools because...

  5. Stony Brook students, what were your stats?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Just wondering what the current crop of Stony Brook students stats are. I'm going to apply for next fall (regular 2 year program), but I'm not expecting much. My overall GPA isn't a 4.0 -- it's a...

  6. Change of Career- BMCC non matric

    Destin293 replied to ImmortalStudent's topic in New York Nursing

    I know the original post is a little older, but I found talking to anyone on the phone at BMCC to be an impossible task...sometimes even talking to them in person is rough. Any questions you have, go...

  7. Anyone attend Mohawk Valley Community College or Kingsborough CC?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Has anyone here gone to MVCC's program? I'm originally from that area and went there 2001 - 2003 for general studies, but didn't learn too much about the nursing program -- and I'm assuming it has...

  8. getting into nursing programs with low UGPA, high pre-req GPA?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I've been reading that nursing schools are looking into the TOTAL overall GPA, not just the most recent and pre-req's, which scares me a bit. I first attended a community college, graduated with an...

  9. getting into nursing programs with low UGPA, high pre-req GPA?

    Destin293 replied to Destin293's topic in New York Nursing

    Good to know I'm not alone! Interestingly, my best friend/former SB roommate graduated the same year I did (2007) with a degree in clinical laboratory sciences with a 2.8 GPA. She went to BMCC to...

  10. Would phlebotomy experience benefit a future RN?

    Destin293 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I was recently laid off from my social services job and am currently taking the pre-req's for an A.A.S. in nursing. I do receive unemployment, but will not qualify for the 599 program where I can...

  11. BMCC requirements?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm starting at BMCC this fall and want to do their nursing program. When I spoke with admissions, they said I would not be allowed to do it, EVER, because my GPA wasn't high enough. I graduated...

  12. Any evening programs in NYC?

    Destin293 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm trying to get into nursing, but am having a difficult time choosing a program. I applied to BMCC just to BEGIN the pre-req's, but they are getting me so aggravated I think I'm just going to say...
