  1. Taking Anatomy & Physiology 2 in same semester as Chemistry ? How to survive?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Hawkeye Pierce <3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe prepare by pre-studying for the one you anticipate you'll have the most trouble in. Chemistry doesn't have a lot of memorization BUT there is a lot of math and having to work through formulas,...

  2. Phillips Beth Israel 2013 Applicants

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    I (finally!) NLN'd yesterday--it was a packed house. Glad to see I'm not the only procrastinator (my procrastination was mostly centered around having to take the TEAS, NLN and a CLEP exam in a three...

  3. How many are going straight for your BSN?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am...I already have a college degree and I'm in NYC--I've been flat out warned that getting a job with an ADN will be very challenging. If I do the ADN-BSN it'll mean being in school for 4 years and...

  4. Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

    ebinbrooklyn replied to KZE15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think so. I think you need to have proof of acceptance to a nursing program. Don't sweat it if you haven't gotten that yet--just get everything else ready, the deadline isn't until April so...

  5. NYU spring 2014 entrance help

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Kingc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe volunteer--get more hands on experience? Consider getting your CNA and working as a CNA until you start school? I think professional letters of recommendation can be helpful. Are you considering...

  6. I hate anatomy and physiology

    ebinbrooklyn replied to kg1212's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a book of mnemonics out there that helped me with the memorization (and, let's be honest, it's mostly that): Visual Mnemonics for Physiology and Related Anatomy (Visual Mnemonics Series):...

  7. Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

    ebinbrooklyn replied to KZE15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are interested in learning more, they are holding a webinar tomorrow evening--I got this via email: hank you for your interest in the NURSE Corps Scholarship Program. The 2013 application cycle...

  8. Where is the nursing shortage?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Curious about opinions on the "shortage" vs. need when 2014 Patient Affordable Care Act comes into play. I'm reading that there will be a much, much greater need in the already moderately short NP...

  9. Any career switchers starting in the Fall?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Career changer--I'll be 36 this summer. Was sort of aimless after college and ended up working in finance as an executive assistant, worked my way up the ladder pretty quickly but the job made me...

  10. Former CNA starting BSN program - how do I get NYS certified to work as a CNA again?

    ebinbrooklyn posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Long story short--I worked as a CNA from 1994-2000 in Minnesota/NYC (I was lucky enough to have my coursework and all fees paid by the nursing home where I worked), and let my certification lapse when...

  11. Former CNA starting BSN program - how do I get NYS certified to work as a CNA again?

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the info--I'll definitely try them and see if I can find a way to test out of the

  12. Wagner Fall 2013 ABSN

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes--I already took it since I am applying to several other schools. I'm not sure how they handle that, but I'm guessing they'll ask y ou to take it if you haven't

  13. Wagner College 2011

    ebinbrooklyn replied to StephRN2be's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied, haven't heard back yet. But I got everything in a little later than I would have liked (literally on the 15th) - anyone else hear anything yet? The only thing I've gotten is an email...

  14. Pace ABSN program starting 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    Does anyone know when the cut off is for the Fall 2013 NYC program? It says April 15, but if people are already getting calls I'm worried I'm too

  15. Phillips Beth Israel 2013 Applicants

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Did both of you already submit your NLN? I'm taking mine on the 20th, maybe I should move it forward. I'd be surprised/heartbroken if I didn't even get an interview--I've been working with BI for...

  16. Hunter College GPA and NLN exam scores

    ebinbrooklyn replied to Lebron123's topic in New York Nursing

    I had a 3.5 gpa, 150 NLN score did not get into the accelerated program (I was a Hunter student and did my prerequisites there). To have a fighting chance I'd recommend keeping GPA above 3.5-3.6 and...

  17. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied to NYU, Wagner, Downstate, New Rochelle, Molloy, Beth Israel and am considering York even though I don't know if I can deal with CUNY anymore (I did my undergrad and prereqs and it was a...

  18. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    Anyone get news in the last week? It's been quiet around here--I'm guessing they sent out the first round of acceptance letters, then based on yes/nos will send out another round and then waitlist. I...

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    I just browsed their website and couldn't find any info on the program, anyone have a link w/ more

  20. College of New Rochelle 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to skorpiosxiv's topic in New York Nursing

    If you're missing a college math class or got less than a C+ (I was unfortunately in that boat), they will ask you for a class or the CLEP. I am dreading it big

  21. Phillips Beth Israel 2013 Applicants

    ebinbrooklyn replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Ha, I got you beat at 6 I'm totally in the same boat---someone let me

  22. NYU nursing program help!

    ebinbrooklyn replied to adascole1's topic in New York Nursing

    You can apply and will be let in conditionally but you must finish all prerequisites before starting any nursing coursework. If I were you, I'd do them at a community college instead of NYU because...

  23. Pass/No Pass for Pre-req

    ebinbrooklyn replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi jtboog2003-- Mind if I ask you about the CLEP? They're asking me for math--the college mathematics one looks the easiest. I just took the TEAS and NLN--are the subject tests similar? I'm so bad at...

  24. College of New Rochelle 2013

    ebinbrooklyn replied to skorpiosxiv's topic in New York Nursing

    I haven't been accepted yet but the director of admissions told me I would be eligible for the summer accelerated BSN program EXCEPT I'm missing one math class. I got a C- in precalc in college and...

  25. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    ebinbrooklyn replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Hopefulxo, I saw them in the 'application status' portion of Albert - mine showed a list of 'missing' items. If you sent everything in and nothing is showing then you're probably in good shape....
