  1. Best accelerated nursing programs in NYC?

    seconddegreebsn replied to Piniella's topic in New York Nursing

    SUNY Downstate's nursing program doesn't exclusively do clinicals out of that hospital, so you don't have to worry about the status of what's going down there (it's not good), and the school has the...

  2. Saunders online question bank

    seconddegreebsn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I'm studying using Saunders (the book and the online questions which used to be on a CD, but seem to be completely online now) and Kaplan (the Qbank and in class session). Kaplan questions seem to...

  3. my kaplan scores with newborn and toddler hanging on my neck

    seconddegreebsn replied to Seun2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe watch the Kaplan videos rather than read the book (I really hate the formatting of that book and only use it to back up teaching I've gotten from the videos and Saunders). The PDA book might be...

  4. North Shore LIJ - October 2014 ED Fellowship

    seconddegreebsn replied to BZou's topic in New York Nursing

    Do they update you via the website if your application is rejected, or is there an email of any sort - just so you know to quit

  5. Nursing programs if you already have a BA

    seconddegreebsn replied to talkinghead82's topic in New York Nursing

    No offense, but you are going to need a LOT higher than a 3.0 unless you have some sort of amazing, out of the ordinary experience or an advanced degree in another field. I went to one of the above...

  6. La Charity PDA

    seconddegreebsn replied to Mainergal2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think you need it - a lot of the book focuses on delegation, which is an RN task so I'm not sure that'd be covered on the PN

  10. North Shore LIJ - October 2014 ED Fellowship

    seconddegreebsn replied to BZou's topic in New York Nursing

  11. How I Passed the NCLEX: Summer 2014 w/ NCLEX Book Review

    seconddegreebsn replied to NurseNelly24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking Kaplan, but using Saunders for content review - the Kaplan book is kinda useless IMO - just start, no photos, laid out strangely. I cannot get myself to use it. Hoping I'm not shooting...

    Diagnostic - 64% QT1 - 56% QT2 - 68% QT3 - 64% Taking class #3 and 4 this week I am watching the online question videos and getting NONE of the question right - if this is what the NCLEX is like I am...

  15. Student Nurse with a poop problem

    seconddegreebsn replied to Grrrse's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're not alone, so don't feel bad. For me it's colostomy - I cannot take it. Even with a mask, I'm gagging in the mask - someone wanted to do an enema on a colostomy and I had to tap out, I started...

    seconddegreebsn replied to wsoxgirl2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking the Kaplan class (just started last week), and I cannot find the Qbank on the website - it's driving me crazy! Why is this website laid out so wonky!? This is included with the cost of the...

  18. Attention tall nurses!!!

    seconddegreebsn replied to Code Red's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love the idea of making my own scrub tops since I generally hate a lot of the patterns I've seen out there - what kind of fabric do you use, and where do you buy

  19. VIRTUAL ATI!!!!

    seconddegreebsn replied to ammanke64's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dumb question - is virtual ATI included in the cost of ATI for those of us who did it throughout school? I took an exit exam, but I didn't see any more materials aside from that which they offered...

  22. How much microbiology needed for NY nursing

    seconddegreebsn replied to Fski's topic in New York Nursing

    Most colleges/programs ask you to have at least 3 credits of microbiology including a lab portion of the course, which would be about 45-48 hours of lecture (not including the labs, which only count...

    seconddegreebsn replied to jechro.08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are the q-trainers for use while in class or are they a pretest? I'm seeing them in the "before classes" section of my online

  24. NCLEX Saunders 5th vs 6th edition?

    seconddegreebsn replied to jamiradpb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pretty much - the 5th Saunders has the CD, the 6th has online component - I lost my 5ed. CD so I don't know if the question banks match up. I'm only up to chapter 15 and the questions in the end of...

  25. Atheism in nursing

    seconddegreebsn replied to pugmom79's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think original poster was very respectful in her approach and probably would have conducted myself similarly. There are people on staff to help with religious matters, but if having a nurse of the...
