  1. Tips for first clinical?

    Laurenslovely replied to betsyMT2003's topic in General Students

    I agree... I think our instructor burned some bridges for us. She's very blunt and forceful so I think some nurses go the other way when they see her. And yes, NYU is a teaching hospital so that may...

  2. Bellevue Hospital NYC

    Laurenslovely replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh... Ya NYU. People have asked me if I mean Bellvue when I say NYU. No wonder it's not over crowded. ALL the city hospitals are sadly understaffed and overcrowded, so I would believe 6 beds to a...

    Laurenslovely replied to betsyMT2003's topic in General Students

    I just started clinicals at a neurological unit in a high ranking hospital in NYC. I am so happy and I want to absorb every bit of information I can!!! But i notice the nurses are wayyyy too busy to...

    I do my clinicals at NYC Langone. There are only 1-2 beds per room on the med-surg floor. It is very

  5. How hard is it to get a student nursing externship?

    Laurenslovely posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program right now. I really love clinicals, but I don't think one day is enough per week. I'm interested in a externship and I hope to get a student nurse extership position (after the...

  6. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Laurenslovely replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program and I wonder how some students with their spelling errors managed to complete the application to nursing school. Grammar may not be that important in nursing, as long as you don't...

  7. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Laurenslovely replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I HATE them!!! On top of not being able to use medical diagnoses each instructor teaches us different ways of writing them and each is nitpicky in their own way about them. I just began my FIRST yet,...

  8. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    O-M-G Amen!! I took all my pre reqs at the community college. I transferred to a BSN program, which happened to be private, because I didn't want to be stuck in that same school for the program. I...

  9. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    I know I get so mad because I NEVER have cheated and there are soooo many girls in my school that only passed pharm because they did!! I got an A- in pharm, maybe if I cheated like they did I would...

  10. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    No, my school is not online and it has a higher pass rate than NYU (we're in NYC too) on the boards. I do disagree that the tuition does not cover the expenses, but for a nursing degree, I guess it's...

    Laurenslovely posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Same for me, I think I will do better as a nurse. I can handle very stressful situations, it comes natural for me, but I hate school!! I think I'm going to become a B student next semester because...

  21. Did you hate your life in nursing school??

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I don't think it's changed. I don't have the option to go part-time. I have NO social life, maybe I'm missing out, but I am in my mid-twenties, so I already have some experience under my belt and...

  23. Did you hate your life in nursing school??

    Laurenslovely replied to Laurenslovely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know I'm really bad about balancing myself. I think I actually need to start studying less, that sounds kinda weird. It's hard when everyone around you in your program, their hobby is studying...
