    knnyz posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Who else is taking the NLN this coming monday/tuesday at kingsborough? What are everyone's thoughts of science 25?? Any concerns, comments, questions please feel free to discuss them here. Future...

  2. What if you don't get into a nursing program?

    knnyz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For all those that are prenursing now, What are your plans if you aren't accepted to a nursing program? Just thinking realistically of all the possibilities that may happen, such as doing poorly on...

  3. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    Honestly, just the textbook and maybe the nutrition book is more than sufficient for the course exams. You can choose your own drug book, nursing diagnosis book, and other books they require from...

  4. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    Just nursing 18 and 17. Yep, it's hella exciting. :) A decent group to study with is a lifesaver. They kept me from slacking

  5. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    Yay! Congrats you guys!! Let us know if there are any questions. Nursing 18 (fundamentals) was nothing short of CRAZY for me. But what helped survive was skimming the book and literally focusing 95%...

  6. Are Nursing Programs harder to get into?

    knnyz replied to Akamnonu8's topic in General Students

    Some people will agree that getting accepted into a nursing program is the easiest part of your nursing

  7. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    And so that's what I'm skeptical about, sorry to be annoying.. But I'd would love to see just one ad where it says what you specifically asked

  8. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    - The job posting wants your degree from NLN approved school. - You have a BSN from an NLN approved school because you completed a bridge program. - My confusion is that it does NOT mention where...

  9. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    There is a list of schools that are nlnac/ccne approved, accredited, and even non profit, if you like to check it out. It's somewhere linked in this very thread. Thanks for bolding though. Please read...

  10. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    LadyFree28 - I believe you when you say they asked! :) Just saying that if do a legit, accredited bridge program, you will meet minimum requirements for a lot of nursing

  11. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    You aren't lying about where you got your BSN degree - so I am not understanding your reasoning for saying it would be "playing the semantics game" to put that. Most want magnet status - a BSN degree...

  12. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Yes, the VA and government entities will give you roadblocks about that. That is a known fact and issue if you got your license from an unaccredited institution. Unless your dream job is to work for...

  13. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    So you put in your BSN school that's accredited from the RN-to-BSN bridge...or your highest degree

  14. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    " Graduate of an NLN approved school of professional nursing. Licensed to practice professional nursing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. BSN from an accredited program is required. *BLS Required."...

  15. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    It seems that this criteria (albeit a bit biased and unfair to many) is highly variable in regards to region and employer's point of view of schooling. I've seen mostly 'Graduate from an accredited...

  16. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    So you find a school (rn to bsn) that's **accredited** after the adn..... You will become a RN BSN from an accredited institution upon completion. I'll say it again for emphasis: RN BSN. TheCommuter...

  17. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Hospitals will not hire for thousands, if not millions of reasons. Did i miss something that requires further clarification? The idea, again, is that the OP finishes their current ADN, and then pursue...

  18. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Please refer to this useful guide... :)

  19. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I hope you know that there are nurses that got their nursing degrees from schools that no longer exist (for example, graduated a long time ago) and thusly, fall into the same category of those who...

  20. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    I hope it will be done by Tuesday - because that's the deadline!!! Congrats on your one year anniversary with kingsborough nursing program!!

  21. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Why don't you just finish your adn and pass your boards first? As long as you are allowed to sit for your boards, that's what's most important. Then go through with an RNtoBSN degree from an...

  22. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York Nursing

    I am excited to meet everyone on Tuesday! Can you believe (if all goes as planned), we will be taking the NCLEX in less than 2 years?? It's four semesters but if you count the months from now, it's...

  23. Should I get my CNA over the summer?

    knnyz replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would be incredibly smart of you to do. I wish I did that before starting my nursing program, because now it doesn't make sense if I got my CNA due to me starting fundamentals this Fall. After...

  24. should i give it a shot

    knnyz replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Give it a shot. Sorry if this was repeated, only skimmed the thread - but do your prereqs before you graduate from liberal arts. Nursing programs mostly focus on their prereqs and could care less...

  25. Associates: Queens versus Kings

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

    They both offer the same - associates in nursing. I have a friend who went to queensborough, and graduated from their nursing program, and said it was "easy" to get in. However, I can only speak for...
