   Do a search and look for any postings from billythekid. I believe, he was accepted into the program awhile back. I've heard more favorable postings from NS than I had of LIJ's critical care program....

4. *:.Advice Needed:RN Newbie in NYC.:*

5. on SATA type questions

   SarasotaRN2b replied to momtojosh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Hi Paula, Breathe! Don't get all stressed about it. I know it is hard but don't put so much emphasis on just the SATA. You did well in nursing school, and you will do fine on the test. Instead of...

11. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students
