Srprn, I received an e-mail to take the battery test last Friday Dec. 6th, and took the exam the day after. I then received an e-mail on the afternoon of Dec. 13th saying that I passed. Did your message contain a name of your coordinator? If so, I ...

Have any of you received an interview/heard back yet??

I just found out that NYU is going to start their BSN-DNP pilot program next fall, so you might want to look into that!

Thanks GetErDone-- I am also starting my ABSN program in NY this coming fall, and have been freaking out about getting a job as soon as I graduate :) I'm glad to know others are on the same boat! @juliaann - how far into the program did you start app...

nursing homes are always looking for nurses-- it's no hospital job, but after working in a nursing home for a year or two, you can then apply for hospitals! Try looking into archcare.org for NY-based nursing homes.

Not even :) I am starting my accelerated BSN this coming fall, but am already freaking out about getting a job, since I need a year's worth of experience before entering for my MSN program! I know that getting a job at a eminent hospital is basically...

Where did you end up going for nursing school?

Did you get a job at Mount Sinai? If so, how did you land this great job? Congrats!

Try going to archcare.org -- their facilities are known to generously hire RNs fresh from school. Good luck!

I think it's a matter of whether or not you want to continue your education with a MSN, DNP, Ph.D.. I paid my deposit for NYU's accelerated BSN, because you are basically guaranteed direct-entry to their Master's programs, which also has a program o...

I GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!! And just like you guys, I am freaking out about the tuition costs...have you guys made your decisions?? My heart starts racing every time I think about taking out student loans..

Is It easier to find a job as an RN once you graduate from a school with a name, especially as these schools have teaching hospitals (NYU Langone/ NYP Columbia).? For graduates from these programs, was this the case for you?

Exactly.. Interestingly, I read from another thread (and actually heard from other RNs) that the name of the school does not matter, but your grades and references are what matter the most in the hiring process. I guess experience is always the key, ...

anyone??

ahhhhh got wait-listed :/ I'm still hopeful!

What should a potential CNA expect?? I am wondering if I should be prepared to perform any skills for this interview, know measurement conversions, etc.? For those of you who work at hospitals, please give me some advice and experience you went throu...

I definitely agree!! thanks for your input :)

Thanks ccaalee! :)) When did you receive your notice of admittance?

I don't have the answer to your question, but was wondering what your GPA, and volunteer hours were? I am still waiting to hear back and am still confused on what exactly Downstate is looking for!

But how is this so, if people posted that they have been accepted?? ahhhhhh.....this wait is so aggravating !!!!

Hi! I'm also waiting....and waiting When did you hear back from Downstate Medical??? Also, the program is different from Columbia, isn't it? As for the Columbia's accelerated program is a combined degree program BSN/MS? If you are only going for you...
