    A&Ox6 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I've heard so many nurses (and other healthcare workers) speak negatively about the people who buy chips with their food stamps. I happen to know of many people who buy such food because they...

    When do you figure out your specialty?

    A&Ox6 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    When you get a job, work for at least two years full time, and get certified. I'm a new grad, so this is only my two cents, but it drives me crazy when someone who has limited to no experience in a...

    A&Ox6 replied to katerinsols's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Katerinsols, I'm not sure if I missed anything in your post, but city tech requires the teas, not the nln. Also, I don't think it is possible to apply to city tech and kingsborough at the same time...
