    Balancing diversity and academic achievement in program acceptance

    KJM-RN replied to amandagill's topic in General Students

    The school I am referring to in this post is a state funded school and therefore has affirmative action quotas that they must adhere to, unfortunately for me. In the end, I knew I did everything I...

    Balancing diversity and academic achievement in program acceptance

    KJM-RN replied to amandagill's topic in General Students

    Believe me I can completely relate to this topic. It's called reverse discrimination and its what caused me to not get accepted into a program. Applied with a 4.0, year of volunteering at a...

    Sending resume

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the advice, but why would I get a CNA job when in 3 weeks I will graduate from nursing school and a few weeks after that take the NCLEX? BTW, I did apply to many nurse's aide jobs while in...

    What should I expect from this interview at Maimonides Medical Center?

    KJM-RN replied to skyheaven477's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have no clue about the answer to your question, but what is the purpose of interviewing a person if there are no open positions? BTW, I have a friend that works at that

    Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

    KJM-RN replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing

    Who's to say its going to be that simple to find a job as a CNA/PCT...? Maybe you need to put yourself out there more, fix up your résumé and cover letter, show up at HR, and volunteer at the...

    Sending resume

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks so much for that link, it was very helpful. I want to be proactive just didn't want to do it too soon if it was pointless. I'm going to go ahead and send my stuff to the hospital, at the very...

    Picc Line Question

    KJM-RN replied to sophtheorn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm almost a new grad and the facility that I am doing clinical at uses a 3 way stop cock. Flush the line with NS, 'waste' the blood, take your blood sample, push the 'wasted' blood back into person,...

    Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    KJM-RN replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes you can apply to RN to MSN with an ADN and a BS, as long as you have all the pre req courses. I'm not positive but I think SB might require work experience too, but that's only for the RN to MSN...

    No you don't need your license to apply, but must have it in 6 months after program starts or you have to take off the semester till you get

    Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    KJM-RN replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Just so you know, if you complete the associate degree in nursing you can apply to SB's RN-BSN program the semester before you graduate from the associate degree program. The RN-BSN program can be...

    New grads, How did you list your clinical rotations on your resume?

    KJM-RN replied to grownuprosie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I disagree. I think it's important to include clinical rotations on a new grad resume, once you have experience than it's pretty pointless to include. Each school, class, or individual has a...

    New grad-Looking for advise on recently made RESUME

    KJM-RN replied to JKrawl4LO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you should 'beef' up your resume some to gain more attention. How about stating more about your education? Such as, where your clinical experiences were and possibly any rotations you did...

    Definitely seems late to be getting a response about the basic BSN program. I'm pretty sure when I was waiting 2 years ago I found out in

    Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    KJM-RN replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    The selective service thing is weird, seems like they wouldn't need additional info from you for such a thing unless you were accepted. It's definitely helpful to be male and from another country for...

    Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    KJM-RN replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    I didn't get any holds until after I was accepted, paid my deposit and it was a couple days later. I had just checked my solar account for any changes (which there weren't any). About an hour later...

    Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    KJM-RN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread is making me nervous to graduate in May. All these crazy errors that kill people. :-\ Hope I never give someone a story like these to

    KJM-RN replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Not sure if it's at all related to the basic BSN (tend to think it isn't), but I just heard back from the RN-BSN that I was accepted this past Tuesday. It's a summer start

    Reaching a dedicated, intelligent nursing student who has trouble with clinicals

    KJM-RN replied to onewill's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm pretty sure the point of nursing school is to learn and be corrected on the mistakes you make (although of course you try to make as few as possible). I have never had a clinical instructor...

    Nursing School Patient Loads

    KJM-RN replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    1-2 patients, but often help out with other patients. Can't do meds without instructor so when it's our med day, we do "district meds" and do meds on many patients, but that's pretty much all we do...

    When should I start applying...

    KJM-RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I will be graduating in May with an AAS in nursing and will be starting a BSN program in June. I am going to take the NCLEX as soon as possible after I graduate. I was wondering if I am able to...

    Do internal applicants usually get preference? What is your experience?

    KJM-RN replied to LM NY's topic in New York Nursing

    I was hired as a PCA (but didn't take the position due to orientation interfering with nursing school finals and there was no lee-way with that). I'm not sure if PCT is different, but I was hired...

    KJM-RN replied to Lindsay19's topic in New York Nursing

    Definitely recommend what the previous poster said. You can take CHE 100 or CHE 101 at Suffolk Community College which is 8 minutes down the road from Stony Brook, no need for calc as a pre-req and...
