    RescueNinjaKy replied to brown rice's topic in Medical-Surgical

    RescueNinjaKy replied to mzsuccess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RescueNinjaKy replied to sportyjenn's topic in New York Nursing

    Honey you do not want to take other classes if you don't have to. When they tell you nursing school is hard, city tech is that and more. The reason why city tech has a 90%+ nclex passing rate is...

  14. Translator for patients

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Auttybee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't think of it as teaching because the discharge teaching and plan is still made up by the rn. Rather the lpn/cna is translating and reinforcing the teaching. Remember that you cannot...

  15. Have I lost all chances at getting into nursing school?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to bob bib's topic in New York Nursing

    Bmcc doesn't have a bsn program. My advice was to try to get your asn at bmcc then take the nclex. After that you can do a rn to bsn at hunter provided you do well at bmcc. Also you should note that...

    RescueNinjaKy replied to bob bib's topic in New York Nursing

    RescueNinjaKy replied to eternity112's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    RescueNinjaKy replied to katie6126's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
