    Will one year exp and BSN land me a job in NYC?

    mystory replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in New York Nursing

    Of course you should bother, if it is your dream then with a lot of patience, motivation, and persistence you can call the big apple home like so many of us have. It may take 6 months to a year, it...

    Are there any psych LPN's?

    mystory replied to sakiohma's topic in Psychiatric

    My psychiatric hospital used to utilize LPN's - they were the med nurses - and the RN's did the assessments, ran the psychoeducation classes, went to team meetings, etc. Unfortunately, about 18 months...

    If you could do it all over again, would you choose nursing as your career?

    mystory replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    Amen. ESPN has fuzzy reception? Trash needs emptying? Patient wants lime jello instead of cherry? A visitor wants a blanket? It's all the nurse's fault/responsibility. This is the single most...

    Advice from commuters on how to survive 12-hr shifts??

    mystory replied to makunc's topic in General Nursing

    35-45 minutes doesn't sound like a considerable commute to me..when I lived in Houston that was probably under the average commute. This is how I would survive my longer commute..windows down,...

    Pursuing nurse practioner degree without RN experience

    mystory replied to huangsoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think nurse anesthesia requirements get it right-the vast majority of them require one year of experience-no more and no less. It gives you time to apply and begin to refine the knowledge and skills...

    Leaving bedside nursing after just 18 months for a desk position

    mystory replied to sasafrasa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it says a lot of positive things about your character that you feel loyal to your employer and guilty for leaving after they provided a residency for you. However, I agree with angelicious...

    Becoming RN solely to become CRNA

    mystory replied to ArkansasFan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I did, and so did many people in my accelerated BSN program. We graduated 3 years ago, and 5 of them are in CRNA school according to facebook. They saw working as a staff nurse as an unfortunate...

    Has anyone transfered as a NP student?

    mystory replied to Eoghnan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have not transferred, but I am doing research on it. I currently go to NYU, I love the school and I love NYC, but it is just not a practical place to live anymore. My lease is up this summer and my...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    mystory replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Did I think the original post made sense? No. Did I read it and say out loud, "what the ..."? Yes. I fail to see the exclusive relationship that being a Christian and the listed qualities share. But...

    In my post, I said great things about SUNY, CUNY, and private schools like NYU. You go to a great school, no need to be so defensive about justifying it, especially when no one has said otherwise. By...

    I will use my common sense that you doubt to proclaim that berating NYU students says nothing about us, but it says a lot about you. I am going to NYU because of the international reputation of the...

    Does it matter where you got your BSN from?

    mystory replied to Toomuchcoffee's topic in General Students

    Here in NYC, yes where you studied is very important, whether you are looking for jobs, graduate schools, to buy a co-op, etc. I can't speak for California
