  1. Phillips Beth Israel 2013 Applicants

    ebinbrooklyn posted a topic in New York Nursing

    In the process of putting together my application for PBISN 2013. Who else is applying? I'm curious to hear from current students and recent grads--what was your background? Your NLN scores/GPA?...

  2. Wagner Fall 2013 ABSN

    ebinbrooklyn posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I just submitted my application, anyone else looking into this program? Wondering how much they weigh TEAS scores vs. GPA vs.

  3. Last Week LICH Now Interfaith?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  4. 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...

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

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Vincent_'s topic in New York Nursing

    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

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

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Vincent_'s topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  7. 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

  8. Pace ABSN program starting 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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:...

  12. 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...

  13. 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...

  14. Med Math Examples

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN questions

    ebinbrooklyn replied to futurenurse912's topic in New York Nursing

    Also, look at old threads here and you'll see stats for people for previous incoming classes. I pretty much read every Downstate related thread here and it was really

  18. I want my life back!

    ebinbrooklyn replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    This past Saturday I broke down in tears in the library when I had to decline: an awesome pig roast backyard party, a trip to the beach, a tubing trip, dinner plans, a friend who was visiting from out...

  19. SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN questions

    ebinbrooklyn replied to futurenurse912's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm at Downstate now finishing my first semester. Downstate only looks at your math and reading TEAS score (I have a 95% total score), and your GPA matters, I had similar stats and ended up getting in...

  20. Can I Work as a Certified Nursing Assistant or Medical Assistant While in School?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    My 6 years CNA/MA experience is old but was incredibly valuable and how I ended up in nursing - they were rough jobs but I really loved them. I got to work in LTC, dermatology, plastic surgery and...

  21. north pay better than south

    ebinbrooklyn replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    Hey, no judgments here! Just because I'm stuck in a big city right now (husband's job is here and someone's gotta work while I'm in school) doesn't mean I like getting gouged in rent and paying too...

  22. north pay better than south

    ebinbrooklyn replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    No--not really. I know ADN new grad salaries for public hospitals in the outer boroughs of NYC is around $62K, and private hospitals can be around $70K. I'm not sure about BSN salaries but I've seen...

  23. north pay better than south

    ebinbrooklyn replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    From numbers I've seen thrown around on here (I have no official verification of this but I'm sure someone does somewhere - and if so, please share because I'm genuinely curious), new grad salaries in...

  24. Opinion on your uniforms?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Hahaha, OH BOY, I thought we were the only ones who got stuck with those awful not-quite-full-zip polyester-blend tops. They're so warm and itchy! And we have them in white so we look like orderlies....

  25. Keeping your head in the books - what do you do when your brain isn't in it?

    ebinbrooklyn posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in a ABSN program and I have a tremendous amount of material that gets covered every week, but after long marathon study sessions and three tests a week (ugh!) I find it hard to keep my head in...
