  1. NCLEX Registration in NY State

    dee789 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi all, I am wondering about the application process to sit for the NCLEX in NY state. I graduate in May and am very eager to take the NCLEX and get my license as I will be unable to search for a job...

  2. NCLEX Registration in NY State

    dee789 replied to dee789's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks! I just spoke to my school and they said I should use the "expedited application" for NYS that they will post in March. They said that people who used the regular application for licensure last...

  3. BSN or RN?

    dee789 replied to ms_2015's topic in New York Nursing

    How about trying to stay on per diem while you go back for an ABSN? I am in a 12-month program and a good number of my classmates work per diem (once or twice per month). That way you could stay in...

  5. New grads in the ER?

    dee789 replied to dee789's topic in New York Nursing

  6. New grads in the ER?

    dee789 replied to dee789's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks everyone! I am aware of the state code that says new grads cannot be hired into the ER unless they go through a residency program, but I too have heard of new grads going into HHC hospitals and...

  7. What books are really necessary for nursing school?

    dee789 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm two months into an accelerated BSN program and quickly realizing that almost all of the books that our professors "require" us to buy aren't really necessarily, and I have barely opened many. I'm...

  8. When Do NYC hospitals post New-Grad positions?

    dee789 replied to PackBrat29's topic in New York Nursing

    I also graduate in May and have been doing some research into this. As far as I have been able to tell, the only places that really hire before passing the NCLEX are NYP and NYU, both of which run new...

  9. Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    dee789 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in nursing school but I'll give you my perspective. I started nursing school after volunteering in an ER for over a year and I want to go into the ER (I realize this is very hard to do...

    dee789 replied to mreznik1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't have a job yet, but I did volunteer for 18 months before nursing school and now have a contact who has offered to put me in touch with hiring managers and help me get a job. However, I didn't...

    dee789 replied to ALH_93RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, I just wanted to counter what was posted above a bit.. I am also from NYC and came upstate for this program, and I am having a great time. Yes, people have complaints about the program, but...

  15. Binghamton accelerated nursing

    dee789 replied to puppylvr's topic in New York Nursing

    Are you applying for this application cycle? I'm a current student. I had a 3.9 in my prereqs and a 3.5 in undergrad. I would guess that most of my class had high GPAs, but I know at least one person...

  16. Should I put bar experience on my resume?

    dee789 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a quick question about my resume. I am polishing up my resume to send in for a nurse residency in an ER, and I'm wondering if I should keep my experience working in a bar as a barback on my...

  17. Should I put bar experience on my resume?

    dee789 replied to dee789's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    RunBabyRN, that's what I was trying to show with it ... I do have a lot more recent experience teaching and in customer service, so I took it off.. though I do feel kind of conflicted about it, seemed...

    dee789 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I haven't cried yet from anything directly related to nursing school, but I know lots of people do (the girl who sold my roommate her books said she cried every week when going thru the hardest...

  19. Worth it to get ACLS before graduation?

    dee789 posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi all, I am a current nursing student in an ABSN program, I graduate next May. I'm really interested in going into the ER after I graduate, however I know it's very competitive and may not be the...

    dee789 replied to dee789's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for your answer.. I did choose Binghamton, in summer session II and loving it so far! I think I definitely made the right choice. Good luck in your job

  21. Binghamton grads?

    dee789 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, I am interested in where Binghamton grads on these boards are working. I've been accepted to Binghamton for the BAT starting May 2014, and I'm really debating moving out of NYC to do the program,...

  22. Does anyone actually read all the reading assignments?

    dee789 replied to vettechtoRN's topic in General Students

    I guess I am the voice of dissent in saying that honestly, I am only 5 weeks in.. But I have not opened my books since day 1 (I did the pre-reading assignments) and I just finished my first summer...

  23. College Algebra and Statistics

    dee789 replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree they are very different. I absolutely hate math and somehow got through school without even knowing how to do algebra really. I was scared of stats but I absolutely loved it and it was my...

  24. pre req classes

    dee789 replied to sgilliam2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For most of this year, I worked full time (days) and took two science pre-reqs w/lab at a time. It was very, very busy and I would advise against trying to do more than that at once. I did take Micro...

  25. Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    dee789 replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought AP2 was easier than AP1. AP1 is a lot of memorization and structures (at least at my school), and AP2 was more conceptual and about understanding processes, which is easier for me. Also, I...
