  1. Here is a very useful article regarding school accreditation. For those that are worried - fear not! https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/i-completed-non-912463.html Did my research and...
  2. Getting Into Nursing School

    Just took the nln in june and got accepted to my school. My advice to you is to make sure you do well on all sections! My school in particular looks critically if you did poorly in any section, it...
  3. Got a stethoscope too. Caved and got a littman cardio iii. And some cheap penlights from Amazon. A ton of nclex and fundamental rationale books (all older editions so it's cheaper) from ebay and/or...
  4. My major has changed to nursing on cunyfirst! In case anyone wanted to
  5. Bardo receptors and Osmoteceptors

    Baroreceptors sense changes in arteries, main one being the aorta. Basically they are stretch receptors, and if it senses blood pressure is high, it will try to dilate the arteries by vasodilation....
  6. Could not agree more!!! Your success in the program has nothing to do with anyone else's failure or success, rather it is the work you put into it. Also don't rely on ratemyprofessor. I have learned...
  7. What about scrubs? Kingsborough has a uniform of its own? Or can we get any of our
  8. Study Help

    Try making a few friends in the program to check up on one another! Push each other. You seem like you're totally giving up before the fight has even started! Not the attitude you want. But at least...
  9. Gift ideas for a newly admitted nursing student

    Just got into nursing school as well, and all I want now is EVERY NCLEX BOOK EVER KNOWN TO ANYONE ON THIS EARTH! I WANT IT ALL. lol Fundamental books, medsurg books. I want books. Penlight, planners,...
  10. Bought some nclex books for super cheap. As well as bought the fundamentals books you mentioned. You can get old editions for literally a penny + shipping on most of these books! Are there...
  11. Gonna take it later in August. Elbow is still recovering from surgery (it's been almost 3 weeks). Need as much time as i can get to safely regain strength and range of motion etc. It's already feeling...
  12. Yeah the last option would suck. My friend was saying that the nursing department looks at the NLN scores first, and sends out acceptances automatically to those around 120+ scores (or the top...
  13. No it hasn't changed yet for
  14. Uhh.. just a question, do you know if we really "need" BIO 51 before taking NUR 21 or can we take it WITH it (as in coreq)? Looking at the hours for fundamentals and calculations alone, it seems to...
  15. Not sure if it sank in yet for me. But it's real and it's
  16. No, It still says liberal arts! Maybe when we send in our acceptance to nursing department, then it changes! How did you do on the NLN?? Wish you the best! :)
  17. Thank you!! Are in kingsboroughs nursing program or interested in it, or taking the nln soon
  18. I found out through a letter in the mail. Have a 3.98 GPA for prereqs and coreqs. Scored a 128 on the nln. Percentage correct score for verbal, math, and science respectively : 63, 75, 70 Relative...
  19. Wow thank you so much. You are
  20. Thanks! Was totally unexpected. On the letter it says must be bls certified before starting. Do we complete that on our own or does the school offer it somewhere? How long does it
  21. Letters are in!! I got accepted!! So soon
  22. I think it'd be easier to work bio 12 (or whichever prereq) around your given clinical
  23. Well I don't think the nursing department will ever tell you which section to focus on - they ideally want you to do well on ALL sections. I do think, however, that most people who take the NLN are...
  24. I am guilty of checking it multiple times during the day already. For the fundamentals class, are questions on the exam nclex style
  25. It's possible it might interfere but we should be able work it out. There are many sections for bio 12 and bio 51, and there are winter sessions. If it's really conflicting I'd speak to an advisor to...
