  1. Why DNP and not MD?

    W19 from SDN, you're not starting NP school in
  2. SDN too slow today,
  3. CNA/Patient Ratios in ICUs

    I'm a float NA at a major NYC hospital. Generally the ICUs will have one NA/tech per unit (I'd say each has about 15-18 patients). We help out with turns, cleaning/toileting patients, stocking,...
  4. College of New Rochelle spring 2015

    I'm a current student there. The website is really the best place for information on how to apply. When I applied I had no interaction with the admissions office. It looks like the deadline is...
  5. New Grad Salary in NYC

    Is that 90K with night differential? I work at NYP and have heard from people hired very recently that NYP's salary is 88K with night diff for new grads, and I had assumed that was the highest in...
  6. Thank you, that's great to
  7. Just wondering, does the PICU at Columbia/Morgan Stanley hire new
  8. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    I also hear that there is a glut of pharmacy and law graduates. Using this logic, those schools aren't really that hard either,
  9. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    What with RNs, techs, PAs/NPs, RTs, residents, attendings, etc., what will they be
  10. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    I'm wondering, what exactly will the role be of these paramedics in the ED? Why is this necessary when there are already techs, RNs, PAs/NPs, RTs, residents, and attending physicians? From an...
  11. I answered some of your questions here in the other CNR thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/college-of-new-991284.html#post8532368 I'm not sure who you're trying to contact, but...
  12. College of New Rochelle FALL 2015

    I have enjoyed the program so far. I've had good experiences with all of my professors, and find that they are very helpful and really want students to do well. The program is rigorous, and you...
  13. College of New Rochelle FALL 2015

    I'm a current CNR student, just finished my first year in the program. It sounds like you've done everything you need to do. The only thing is that you may have to go in to register for courses at...
  14. Diseases nurses/ nursing students should know

    There will be many diseases and disorders that you will study in your nursing school courses. This will also depend on what specialty of nursing you go into after school. However, at least for...
  15. I also did a bunch of the pre-reqs at City Tech (a few years ago). I think City Tech is the easiest CUNY to get into the pre-nursing courses, since they have a ton of sections for the courses (i.e....
  16. I live in the NYC area. As I'm sure you know, CUNY Lehman has a BSN program, a Family Nurse Practitioner masters program, and a post-masters Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certificate program. I think...
  17. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    The opening post is simply a copy/paste of the opening post of that SDN thread I linked to earlier. "MedStudentNotRN" did not write that post (which is from a year ago in that other thread). Also,...
  18. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    This person is a troll. There's a thread over at Student Doctor Network, in the Allopathic section (Error | Student Doctor Network), with the same name. Someone said, a year ago, to post it here and...
  19. Maybe this should be in the New York Nursing section to get more responses? I just finished my first year at CNR. Feel free to ask me any questions or search my older
  20. NY-Presbyterian RNs here?

    Ok great thanks for the info. Haha yeah sorry to throw you off with the question, I guess even though I'm from the area I still sometimes get caught in the whole NYC is too expensive mindset so just...
  21. NY-Presbyterian RNs here?

    I'm wondering, do you think $1500 is doable on Columbia's salary? I'm a student that works there as an NA, and of course hope to stay on as an RN next year, so I'm just wondering about that. Thanks...
  22. From what I've seen, direct entry programs to certain programs that require experience (such as CRNA or AG-ACNP in many cases) will require students to take a leave of absence after the undergraduate...
  23. A CUNY or a SUNY community college would be best. As I mentioned in the other thread, I enrolled as a non-degree student at a CUNY and did some of my prereqs there. As a non-degree, you are charged...
  24. Perhaps you'll have better answers if you ask this question over at the New York Nursing sub-forum: https://allnurses.com/new-york-nursing/. Maybe one of the mods can move your thread there for you....
  25. Maybe check this out (I have it, haven't really used it though): Prentice Hall Nursing Reviews & Rationales: Anatomy & Physiology: 9780131720510: Medicine & Health Science Books @...
