    The accreditation means little in my opinion. Sure, it's been an issue but the ability to take the NCLEX and obtain an RN license is what matters the most. And kbcc is state accredited so you'll be...

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    you can probably look into the lpn route if this doesn't pan out. It'll be a pain in the butt to start over again but if it's your passion, don't let one rejection stop you. With that said, you scored...

  7. Alternate ways to being a nurse?

    knnyz replied to ash012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think most nursing programs don't even look at your other classes if it doesn't concern the program's prereqs. I'm sure some do but most just want to see how you did in your prereqs...AKA prereq GPA...

    Hey man, don't stress about it... try distracting yourself for a month. I'm sure you got in, you just have to play the waiting game. I found out that we can actually take NUR 2700 (pathophysiology,...

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    Yep, it will be a true test of time management it seems when taking bio 12/51 first semester clinicals. Do you know if we start off in Nursing homes or do we go straight to hospitals first

  16. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    Bio 12 can be a lot. I took that this semester. Lab can be time consuming but what helped me was that I watched some lectures online before the start of this semester. Didn't have to study that much...

    knnyz replied to Damianmyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be extremely meticulous with details to your science prereqs. In most schools, the science requirement is used to weed out those that are fit for the program and those that aren't. Especially...

    knnyz replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students
