  1. Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

    Mission replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I actually disagree with this, unless you have hearing problems the cheap scopes are fine. I paid a lot for a Littman and got a free scope from a Pfizer drug rep and the free one was just as good....

  2. Rampant Racisim in Hospitals!!

    Mission replied to goodkittie395's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have never met an immigrant who came here to work and didn't want to learn English, I'm sure someone like that would be the exception and not the rule. Learning a second language is not easy...

  3. If you are drunk, don't drive!

    Mission replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Well how about if a peds nurse loses a pt and goes down to the local watering hole with other nurses and has a couple and on the way home kills my daughter. She was having a bad day huh? Let's just...

  4. How much do NY nurses make?

    Mission replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Hmm, well I don't work at a hospital but I have a friend that just started as a new grad at St. Vincents who is getting $44/hr. My understanding is the going hourly rate in Manhattan hospitals is...

  5. How much do NY nurses make?

    Mission replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Even as a new grad I would laugh at $37/hr...you should be able to get a lot more than

  6. FRUSTRATED!!! and need advice!

    Mission replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    People used to just do the BSN at Columbia and then leave. A few years ago they were talking about not granting the BSN till after you finished the MS but I don't know if they actually did that,...

  7. Confused about my options...

    Mission replied to *Andrea*'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you really feel passionate about maternity/peds I think you should do what you like. If you decide 5 years from now that you want to go to med/surg from L&D I am sure you'll find a place that...

  8. California RN visiting NYC - Would like help planning my trip please :)

    Mission replied to CaliRN29's topic in New York Nursing

  10. FRUSTRATED!!! and need advice!

    Mission replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    I was in the same situation as you, though I only had one pre-req to complete. I did it at a BMCC. Went to Columbia full-time to get my BSN and worked some part-time jobs here and there. Now I work...

  11. California RN visiting NYC - Would like help planning my trip please :)

    Mission replied to CaliRN29's topic in New York Nursing

    Try newyork.citysearch.com for restaurants. A great (off-broadway) show to see is "No Child", honestly one of the best plays I've seen in a long time. If you want a full song and dance any of the...

  12. Hi all

    Mission replied to Shuffler's topic in New York Nursing

    I spent 2 months during intergration on Cornell's post-partum floor, I really liked it there. I've heard Roosevelts L&D is excellent, they also have a birthing center you could move to once you...

  13. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Mission replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean medicaid? I can't see someone who qualifies for medicare being able to have a baby and it not being investigated. I know many young women who qualify for medicaid who also work,...

  14. PDAs

    Mission replied to middlekane's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know how I lived before my Treo 700...if it made cappuccino I would dump my fiance and marry my phone. Just kidding of course. But I use it at work, in my clinicals, to make phone calls,...

  15. how much tax you're paying

    Mission replied to kathy_bear's topic in New York Nursing

    Wow, I claim 1 for me and 1 for head of household and I have always gotten money back from the the feds, though I usually owe the state a couple hundred, those bastards. I don't own a house or have...

  16. new grads in NYC

    Mission replied to lilnat03's topic in New York Nursing

    I just graduated from Columbia and none of my classmates had a hard time finding jobs in the city, except maybe the ones who wanted to work part-time, but even they all found jobs within 6 months. I...

  17. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Mission replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I remember seeing some patients during my med-surg rotation and telling my friend if that if I was ever like that I would want her to put a pillow over my face. Just let me say goodbye to...

  18. Which RN school to choose??? Exp RNs and current students please give advice!!!

    Mission replied to CiCigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I did a 12 month accelerated program. I had no life and I finally lost the 15 pounds I gained after I graduated from undergrad (after 7 years of trying). Like the previous poster said, it was...

  19. Anyone starting at Columbia Fall '07??

    Mission replied to SteveNNP's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm doing a dual degree program (MPH) part-time, so in all likelihood I'll be here till at least 2010. I'm doing FNP with a subspecialty in HIV mgmt and probably also Integrative therapies. I...

  20. Question for you NY people :P

    Mission replied to nursekatie22's topic in New York Nursing

    Jersey's a good option, the rent is cheap and the commuting cost is reasonable. It's really expensive and time consuming to commute from Connecticut or even Westchester. Unless you have a family that...

  21. Montefiore in the Bronx

    Mission replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I think Monte pays less than private Manhattan hospitals, that's probably what you heard, but it isn't a big difference. My fiance's Godmother is the NYS ANA rep there and she loves it and says it's...

  22. Anyone starting at Columbia Fall '07??

  23. at my wit's end trying to get info...please help!

    Mission replied to Kait's topic in New York Nursing

    That seems pretty low, I know agency nurses in NYC who get $52 an hour. Also, you should know, Columbia-Pres is not in the greatest neighborhood. I think it's an awesome opportunity to get to live...

  24. Question for you NY people :P

    Mission replied to nursekatie22's topic in New York Nursing

    This is true, I live in Inwood (northern Manhattan), I can spit on the Bronx from where I live but it's still Manhattan so I'm cooler than everyone else. I actually like my neighborhood, they've been...

    Hi, I'm not WHNP but I recently switch from the midwifery program at my school to the FNP program. When I met the FNP advisor she asked me if I considered the WHNP program. She stated that the job...
