Hi let me preface by saying that I am not a perfect nurse and I don't proclaim to be one. I have been a tele nurse for two years now and made my fair share of mistakes. However, there is a colleague on my unit that works night shift and I work days. ...

That is an excellent point and that is what my nurse manager suggested doing as well! Taking care of 8 patients itself is difficult and to be a new grad doesn't make it any easier. Some things are bound to be overlooked with that many patients. So I ...

Hi everyone, I am a new graduate nurse on the telemetry unit at a large academic medical center. This is my first nursing job after school and I'm on orientation. Nursing is a second career for me, my first job was in clinical research. I have a bach...

Hi everyone, I am a recent graduate of a BSN program and my best friend just started nursing school. As we all know nursing school is incredibly stressful and support from family and friends is vital. My friend was really supportive during my time in...

As a male nurse around the same age as you, I empathize your situation. I am a non-confrontational person so I try to avoid these types of things. I would have wrapped the IV myself, even though the task could have been delegated to the CNA. Telling ...

Hello, I'm a senior year nursing student and I have been struggling with anxiety during clinical. Now I know that every nursing student has anxiety, but this anxiety has been something I have been dealing with for my whole life. It was always very mi...

The Facebook Group is DSON Bat Cave Summer 2016. Your name on facebook has to be your real name and the administration will let you join the group! Hope to see you there :)

We have until April 1st, or 20 days after the date on our acceptance letter. Whichever is later.

@conchobar, I was in a similar situation as you last year. I naively applied to a ABSN program one month after graduating from my first degree. I was accepted into the program, which was about 3 hours away from home, in a large city. Tuition for the ...

Hello, I created a similar post a few months ago but I will gladly share my information with you! I have worked as a Direct Support Professional (basically a PCT) at a group home for individuals with disabilities for the past year. Before taking this...

Congrats to everyone that was accepted! I was recently accepted into the program too. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting to hear back.

Hello everyone! I would like to apply to Long Island University's Accelerated Nursing program for the Summer 2015 start. However, I cannot seem to find much information on the program. I checked the website and know what pre-reqs are required and abo...

Congrats, I didn't know they started sending out acceptances already. I'm still waiting to hear back.

Hey sorry for the delayed response. I don't think that you need to complete all of the pre reqs before applying. You just need to submit proof that you are registered for the courses that you still have to take.

Hi guys and any girls that may be reading this. For the past couple of years, I have considered pursuing a nursing degree. I have volunteered in the emergency room of a hospital and at a skilled nursing facility and I understand what nurses do. What ...

Hey everyone, I was recently accepted to Drexel University's Accelerated Nursing Program. After reading many mixed reviews about Drexel's program, I'm a little hesitant about going there. The program is very expensive (over $40,000 i believe) but als...

I have a quick question regarding the application for Binghamton's accelerated program. Where do I submit letters of recommendation and my personal statement? Also, is there any restrictions to the length or subject of the personal statement?

Hello all, I know that this is not a nursing topic, but I work with nurses on a daily basis so I figured this would be a good place to ask for help. Anyways, I've been working at a medical group home for a month now. As a Direct Support Professional,...

Thanks for your help! There are aspects to my work which I enjoy. For instance, a few days ago I successfully helped a man urinate into his urinal without wetting himself. Up until that point, he would wet his underwear and my gloves, and it was an a...

Hey I applied to LIU Summer 2015 as well. I have created a page already that may provide you with useful information. Here is the link: https://allnurses.com/new-york-nursing/long-island-university-977968.html As for your question, my grades were not...

Hello everyone! I have my first Bachelor's Degree in Neuroscience and I plan on attending a second degree nursing program. I am choosing nursing over medical school, because I enjoy the patient care aspect of nursing. Neuroscience has always been an...

Yes I believe so, because that's what I did. A call to the nursing department might be helpful because their website was very vague. Good luck!

Thank you Applesauce520! I filled out the application for admission and I am just waiting to receive my login info. Do you know if any letters of recommendation or a personal statement are required? I'm trying to get everything in by the deadline. Th...

Yes, I've searched many other posts on here about LIU, but no one has mentioned the application deadline. I'll call admissions and see if they can help me with this matter. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was recently accepted to Drexel University's ACE Nursing Program for the Spring 2015. The only preq I need to take is Human Nutrition for 3 credits. After contacting Drexel's Nursing Department multiple times, I have yet to receive an ...
