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 believe we have to wait unti April, it seems like a ...

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 usually not get your foot in the door at a hospital and ...

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 that she doesn't see how I could possibly make it ...

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 lol.

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 working towards this on and off ever since. I'm 32 now...

Being overwhelmed, failing, paying for it, not being able to find a job afterwards

It's for SUNY Adirondack- good luck @ Ellis; my sister goes there (evening/wkend program) and she loves it :)

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 pointing out what their requirements are versus wha...

Me too :DDDDDD I'm going to the group session on 4/1- perhaps we'll be able to put names to faces then. Congrats and good luck! Here's to a crazy two years we're about to embark on

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

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 send your transcripts anywhere, and a transcript req...

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 common for people to apply there who are just like me...

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 hear in a couple weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed. ...

So how'd it go?

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 rumor about the program having a 5 year waiting list? ...

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 all my science and math classes for the RN degree do...

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 shame

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

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 training just to find out that I won't have many employ...

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 send notice out until April, though. Still hopin...

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 enter AnP I. No tests or math requirements. My ...

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 ADN, because with that you will be able to start wor...

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 can't even find substitute positions!

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 actual Nursing I, II, etc.

I took my pre reqs while I was finishing my Bachelor's in another field. I did it on my own (w/o being enrolled in a pre-nursing program), and now I am to the point where the only classes I have left to do are the actual Nursing I, II, etc ones. I ...
