  1. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Phopefulnurse, is that for the accelerated one-year or the two-year program? (Not gonna kick you out of the thread either way, haha, just curious!) Congrats on getting picked for the interview and...

  2. Question for night-shift and/or weekend nurses

    bloodorange replied to bloodorange's topic in General Nursing

    What made me originally think about it was my volunteer shift, which is split between Sunday mornings and Tuesday mornings. Sundays are radically different for several reasons, but this past Tuesday,...

  3. Question for night-shift and/or weekend nurses

    bloodorange replied to bloodorange's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, all of these responses are great (so far)! I have a feeling I'd love night

  4. Negativity toward nursing as a career choice

    bloodorange replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student (well, for three more months, anyway!), and I really appreciate the thoughts shared in this thread and elsewhere on this topic on AN. I've watched those with delusional ideas...

  5. Bmcc nursing program

    bloodorange replied to Valcinda's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Valcinda - I'm not going to BMCC for nursing, as it turns out (going ABSN instead), but I did my pre-reqs there and originally was planning to apply for the nursing program (nights and weekends)....

  6. I hated being a CNA.....

    bloodorange replied to lovelove254's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I may not have been clear in my earlier post. CNAs and techs do EXTREMELY important work, and it's demoralizing that it's paid so poorly. I don't think the work itself is what makes the job...

  7. I hated being a CNA.....

    bloodorange replied to lovelove254's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I know I'd hate being a CNA because I enjoy making a living wage! Being paid like absolute crap while doing the hard physical and emotional work of patient care is demoralizing as

  8. Annoying female coworker conversations

    bloodorange replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Merkins - ha! I'm a woman, and sorry for butting in on the Men in Nursing forum, but I also tune out when coworkers blather about their children (no one cares about your 3yo's potty-training...

  9. Handling Introversion

    bloodorange replied to isleofjersey's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school until June, but I'm an introvert who ascribes to "fake it 'til you make it." I've worked a lot of service jobs (waiting tables, retail, bartending, customer service,...

  10. Job Outlook RNBSN

    bloodorange replied to newnew2013's topic in New York Nursing

    Good luck to you -- I find it hard to imagine that the NYC metro area would be easier to get a job than where you are in NC, though. It seems to be one of the toughest spots in the country for new...

  11. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    bloodorange replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Your opinion on concealed-carry laws has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the brutal beating of an elderly nurse in Brooklyn, New York. Frankly, I find it absurd and offensive that you think it's worthy...

  12. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

  13. Why do some choose to pursue BSN over ASN first?

    bloodorange replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, in my case, the ASN would take longer, cost more, and lock me out of jobs (I live in NYC). No-brainer for

  14. Things only a fellow nursing student would understand...

    bloodorange replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I don't know -- for me, writing everything down helps me learn the material so much more than just looking at the PowerPoint! And what's worse than a "lecture" in which the professor simply reads from...

  15. If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

    bloodorange replied to dbtw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm going with Option 3: laughed

  16. Space Nursing

    bloodorange replied to Michael_Espelin's topic in Nursing Career

    Darn! I thought this was going to be some sort of Doctor Who

  17. Scrub skirts Nurses

    bloodorange replied to Lysa71's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    GUYS! I didn't mean "do any of you wear ANYTHING under your skirts?" I just meant, do you wear "anything like shorts" in addition to undies/stockings/whatever, for maximum range of motion and

  18. About That Avatar...

    bloodorange replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    You've inspired me to change my avatar. Heck, if I can't swear on AllNurses, I suppose Malcolm Tucker giving everyone the side-eye is a decent

  19. Scrub skirts Nurses

    bloodorange replied to Lysa71's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm headed to nursing school this summer and am thinking of getting a scrub skirt to try out at clinicals. (No religious reasons here either; I just like skirts!) Did anyone here wear slip-shorts or...

  20. A selfish nurse

    bloodorange replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    This resonates so much with me, as a former and sometimes "lone wolf." I grew up with a lot of disdain and contempt for people who didn't live their lives like I thought life should be lived (I get...

  21. When Faith Creates False Hope

    bloodorange replied to kabfighter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am currently reading Jennifer Worth's memoir/essay collection "In the Midst of Life," which is about death. (She was a nurse who also wrote "Call the Midwife" and its two sequels, which have been...

  22. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you so much -- this is awesome. I'm going to be living in St. James and hopefully biking to school most days (gotta get some exercise somehow), and I would certainly not want to turn DOWN a job...

  23. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Not to flog a dead horse, but I want to understand the clinical situation a little better. As I understand it: SB24 means you sign up to have all your clinicals at SBUMC; Traditional means you go to...

  24. 2014 Applicants

    bloodorange replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to Stony Brook's one-year accelerated BSN and got in :) So excited to start in

  25. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    WHAT? That is totally nuts!! Anyway, yes, the Facebook group is called "Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015" and people are definitely talking about
