1. Last Week LICH Now Interfaith?

   ebinbrooklyn replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York

   I'm finishing my BSN next summer and I'm already a mess and losing sleep over the job situation...this just makes it all worse. I knew things would be hard, that I had timed this really poorly (I waited until I was financially ready and had savings.....

2. What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

   ebinbrooklyn replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

   Has anyone on here mentioned Uncalendar? I learned about it from allnurses and I love this thing! The Uncalendar Planner Review 2013 - YouTube I have my uncalendar that I used with a series of post it notes - each class gets it's own color. One side ...

3. help! SUNY downstate? Hunter-bellevue? or NYU nursing?

   ebinbrooklyn replied to Vincent_'s topic in New York

   Try a few SUNY schools? Almost same price point - unfortunately there's only one SUNY BSN program in NYC but if you're willing to go to Long Island there's more.

4. help! SUNY downstate? Hunter-bellevue? or NYU nursing?

   ebinbrooklyn replied to Vincent_'s topic in New York

   Lehman does have an accelerated program, but here's where it gets tricky: YOU CAN ONLY APPLY TO ONE CUNY NURSING SCHOOL AT A TIME AND YOU MUST ALREADY BE AN ADMITTED STUDENT. It's a massive pain in the... If you're going to Hunter, that means you app...

5. Just curious... What was everyones NLN score?

   ebinbrooklyn replied to LittleRedOwl's topic in General Students

   155...and I still didn't get into my top program pick

6. Pace ABSN program starting 2013

   ebinbrooklyn replied to ARickli's topic in New York

   I got a call last week to interview, which I declined since I'm in my second semester at another school with no plans to leave. So if that's the case, they must still be accepting people or are having a hard time filling the class. It's pretty late i...

7. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

   ebinbrooklyn replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

   Renting seems like it's not that much of a cost saving - so for that reason and that reason alone I would buy so I could try and recoup some of the costs. I usually try to speak to the previous class to see if there's any changes between editions and...

8. Excited! Got accepted into Sigma Alpha Pi!

   ebinbrooklyn replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

   Congrats! That's definitely a feather in your cap

9. Nursing Shoes

   ebinbrooklyn replied to MegginJ's topic in General Students

   We're not allowed to wear clogs (preceptor decided she doesn't like them) so I had to find a shoe that is sneaker style with a closed top. I just bought Sketchers slip ons Amazon.com: Skechers Women's Premium-Premix Slip-On Sneaker, White, 10 M: Shoe...

10. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Want: ED, trauma, surgery, flight, infectious disease. I've worked LTC and it's not so bad--mostly boring. Might be a nice option for later in life when I'm tired of fast paced go go go. Don't want: Peds. L&D - it's beautiful, sure, but oh lordy...

11. Best type of computer for school

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I actually have the transformer as well - what do you use in place of microsoft office? I've tried Cloud On but it's terrible and slow, and Polaris office has been really unreliable. And how can I turn off the darned mouse pad - it's driving me craz...

12. Best type of computer for school

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I have a tablet with a keyboard that attatches (a convertible tablet) and not having Word/Excel/Ppt on my tablet or home computer has been an exercise in non stop frustration. Everyone uses Word--there's some programs that are similar but not the sam...

13. Med Math Examples

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

    Okay, I'm' reviving this :) - my prof gave us a huge medmath worksheet to have done before the first day of class. I read the chapter in the book at it was absolutely no help. If anything it just made me more confused. Got together with a few other s...

14. Pharmacology and Pathophysiology before Nursing School?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Vincent_'s topic in General Students

    Downstate? YES. Do it if you can :) Just finished patho, it was VERY challenging (I had 3 classes and my studying was 80% patho, 10% other classes). I know they will take patho but I would double check on pharm (starting that this week so I can't tel...

15. So...what is nursing school EXACTLY like?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    The only thing I can say (and I'm closing out my first semester) is take advantage of every opportunity that you have in terms of your education. If you're having a hard time grasping things and your school has a learning center, USE IT. I never both...
