  1. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, I live in the Albany, NY area and have applied to Ellis School of Nursing and Adirondack Community College. Is there anyone else out there in my area who is anxiously waiting as well? I can't...

  2. Need help with job offers!

    mandilee428 replied to boushie87's topic in Nursing Career

    I know this thread is old, but how did the oral surgeon's office work out? Are you still there and if you are do you like it? I would've gone w/the OS instead of LTC too. LTC experience will...

  3. Dealing with "haters"...

    mandilee428 replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

    I agree 100%. My older sister is a 2nd yr nursing student and I am starting nursing school this fall. She has told our mother that I have "no idea" what I'm getting into going to nursing school and...

  4. Scrubs!!

    mandilee428 replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    Those look great! I wish my school's looked like that- we are head to toe in hunter green and I feel like I look like a custodian

    mandilee428 replied to vega26's topic in General Students

    At 26 years old you have plenty of life in you still :) I just got accepted to a program for Fall 2013 and I'm so excited! I first applied back when I was 20 and was not accepted and I've been...

  8. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    mandilee428 replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter!! One important thing: originally I was rejected by this school. I couldn't understand why because I met the minimum requirements and then some. So I sent them a letter...

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    mandilee428 replied to missrosy's topic in New York Nursing

    Cayuga also has a Pre-Nursing program which I'm pretty sure you can do it all

  11. Landlocked

    mandilee428 replied to missrosy's topic in New York Nursing

    I have also done classes through Cayuga CCC and I have really liked them. I've always been a non-matriculated student and registering has always been easy and hassel-free, they don't charge you to...

  12. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    Day or evening program? Do you have a degree already? I applied for the day program I have a BS in counseling, at first I thought that would give me an advantage but from what I hear it's pretty...

  13. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    I think mine went pretty well. She said that I have a pretty good chance, we'll just see if I survive the final selection. She said since I'm not taking any classes @ ACC right now I'll probably...

  15. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    Ugh! I hope it's not as bad as I imagine it being. I'm not always so crazy about being interviewed, but at least we're 2/3 of the way to being accepted :) My sister told me that she heard some...

  16. LPN or RN- Need Advise Please!!!

    mandilee428 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied to 2 RN programs for Fall 2013. So far, I have been rejected from one of the two. I am starting to think about going the LPN route if the 2nd school rejects me too. I already have...

  17. LPN or RN- Need Advise Please!!!

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's too bad that LPN's are being phased out of the hospitals. I think it's because hospitals can hire techs for less money and they don't have to deal w/unions, but it's a

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    I have an interview on March 5! I wonder what they'll be asking. I'm excited and really nervous

  19. LPN or RN- Need Advise Please!!!

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the advice. I've decided to wait it out and go for the RN. I might have to wait longer to get into a school, but it will be more worth it in the end. I don't want to go through LPN...

  20. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    No not yet :/ I'm still waiting on my first choice too. ACC's pretty far for me to commute (I live in Amsterdam), but my first choice is Ellis, which is only about 10 minutes from me. Ellis doesn't...

  21. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    mandilee428 replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to two schools. One I already got a rejection letter from. The admission requirements for that particular school are 1) you have to be able to take Eng Comp I and 2) you have to be able to...

  22. I want to be a Nurse but Scared to take the Leap...Advice?

    mandilee428 replied to Pinkpeonies26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I know about the accelerated BSN's is that they are very intensive and it is very difficult for a person to work full time while going through those programs. If I were you I would pursue the...

  23. Is there really a "nursing shortage"

    mandilee428 replied to laylasmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The outlook for nurses, even new grad nurses is definitely better than for teachers or social workers. There is less and less money being spent on education, where I live in upstate New York, you...

  24. Albany, NY Area Applicants

    mandilee428 replied to mandilee428's topic in New York Nursing

    Do you know anybody who finished that program? I really don't know a lot about it. Do you have any of the math and science classes done? By this fall I will have everything done except for the...
