We had been warned that there were few jobs for graduate nurses the very first day of orientation for nursing school, which was back in 2011.However externships in the NYC area are very competitive and we were at a disadvantage because my particular ...

I often spent the whole day studying at school, this often included married friends (we were a mix older and younger students), I didn't meet anybodies spouse, kids or friends except during graduation. I kept my life and school separate and I assume...

It saddens me to see that is other nurses who are spreading willful ignorance, berating and judging these nurses. I write willful, be because with all the information from reputable sources, corrections by many knowledgeable members of this community...

It is disgusting what they are doing, but at least I am happy that there is more solidarity between us, at least here on AN, I hated reading those comments blaming the triage nurse when Eric Duncan first visited the ER.

AP Enterprise: Records chronicle how Ebola kills If the article is to believed (which I'm weary about), there wouldn't have been proper PPE precautions if he had just arrived at the ER and he would have arrived vomiting and having diarrhea?

Sorry it wasn't a question, my second post was a clarification (I failed) of my original post. What I meant is that the OP should consider the private route since she already has a BA and I have meet many SUNY Downstate students who were taking th...

I wish I had known about AN before nursing school and gotten this advice.

Sorry I was rereading (several days later) what I had posted and I meant students who already have Bachelors in other fields not BSN.

Have you looked into SUNY Downstate,I've met many students from their program who already have a BSN and take the accelerated route.

You can get your flu shots at CVS and Rite Aid now, just make sure the pharmacist writes the Lot number on the card they give you and not just the name of the vaccine.

If you are not already doing so, keep in mind that you should go over your right answers as well. Like grudgrime said, it is more often about how the question is worded and what multiple choices they use to make you critically think. To be honest I d...

My school test average needed was 75% total, any written assignments were pass or fail but there were only 4 exams including the cumulative final, which counted for 40% of the course grade.( I completed an ADN program). Anything less than a 75 was ...

That is true, (although JW's don't involve themselves in politics) I see the point they were trying to make,the door is open for any claim.

OCNRN63 already explained it And even if were a fellow Witness asking for a transfusion it is their decision to make.

My name appeared in three days, my license came in the mail in a week.

If you check the New York State Professions website, you can compare the NCLEX pass rates to other schools. NYS Nursing:Nursing Programs:RN NCLEX Results: 2013-2017 However ASA only has one student as having taken the Nclex and passed, giving it a 1...

When my graduating class had a nurse manager come speak to us, he told us that the minimum was two years, that way they knew whoever they were going to hire wasn't going to waste their time and money and leave in a year. The way I see it it's all ab...

KT3 answered your second question better than I could've ever done, I will try to answer your first question. However please keep in mind that I did not take the TEAS and that there has been a lot of faculty change in the associates program since I s...

Congrats!!!! I took and passed my NCLEX April 17 with 90 questions and used Kaplan as well. I have to agree with other comments; it is the rationales that should be focused on. I took my exam two months after receiving my ATT and four months after my...

Reading books other than nursing textbooks and knitting.

Hey i hope this answer doesn't come too late. When I first came to City Tech many moons ago we were all listed under the nursing program even if we were still completing our prerequisites. Now a days I believe most of the pre-nursing students are ...

Hey Ruby Vee, just a shout out to tell you not all of your advice falls on deaf ears. =) I enjoy the anonymity and community that AN provides. I feel like it is very important to reiterate the points about protecting your identity in this day and ag...

@ Chiasmus100 I understand how you feel, it's tough when you see others are getting an advantage. Like I said previously,it may or may not help them. I am unsure if you have reached the point in nursing school where all the answers are correct and yo...

That's funny, I was just thinking the other day that if I could't find a job (I'm a recent grad from the area) within a yea, I would move to Georgia. There are the HHC hospitals (the city owned hospitals): Bellevue Hospital Center Coney Island Hosp...

At the end of the day a study guide is just that a study guide, it doesn't contain answers to the test. In my experience when other receive study guides, it doesn't mean that they go on to score better, on the contrary they become over confident and ...
