  1. Well, after I was finished with the application, I called admissions and asked what I could do next. Then scheduled an interview after that. I wasn't notified of one, I made it myself. So, I'm not...
  2. I know it said that, I'm just trying to put my anxiety at ease, I guess. Lol. I was fine before the deadline and now I'm kind of freaking out. Have you called/emailed admissions to ask about the...
  3. @NYStudent18: I had an interview before the admissions deadline. I'm not sure if they also do them after? I actually was also going to piggyback off of NYStudent18 and ask if getting a financial aid...
  4. Is this possible?

    You could always check if a college (like community college) has half-semesters and holds both A&P 1 and 2 during that same time period. (Sometimes summer or winter sessions have these) This would...
  5. I think maybe some are hard on you because there are literal lives on the line if you do fail in everyday life. It's definitely serious business. I'm sure there are those select few who are just evil...
  6. Best planner for nursing school?

    I started a "bullet journal" almost a year ago and it is the most organized I've ever been in my life. 100% self-made and customizable. If you google bullet journals or look them up anywhere, it'll...
  7. Advice please! Which classes to take?

    I agree with the previous poster! I think Anthro and History might go together, and Chem 1 and A&P will supplement each other pretty well. Then with the Men and Masculinities, Art, Micro, and...
  8. What to do?

    Hi! Check and see if the nursing programs you are thinking of applying to will allow retakes of core classes. Sometimes you will lose points if you retake them to get a higher grade, if you didn't...
  9. Where's my planner nerds at?!

    Bullet
  10. Upstate jobs? Where?

    Is Utica too far? What about St. Luke's or St. Elizabeth's? Binghamton also has UHS Binghamton general and Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial
  11. What job be better while in nursing school?

    I work in a pediatric library in a children's hospital. It gives you time to study and still allows you to work with patients and families. I have to agree with akulahawkRN. I think it's a good idea...
  12. Best nursing youtube channels?

    I'm a big fan of EmpoweRN.
  13. Preparing for nursing school in Upstate NY

    Hi! I live in Central NY, and I've been applying to some schools in Upstate NY as well. I have taken a couple courses on Portage, (Chem I, lifespan psychology, nutrition) and as long as you put in the...
  14. Hi! I guess it's all about what your ultimate goal is. If your ultimate goal is RN, I would probably choose either the ADN or ABSN. The LPN is a good price, however, if you want to go the RN route in...
  15. Try portage if your school accepts it. You can finish a class in as little as 2 weeks. They have lab components. Courses - Portage
  16. Utica Accelerated BSN August 2013

    Do a million practice NCLEX questions while studying for Foundations and Medsurg. There's an onsite computer lab, where you take proctored exams for Health Assessment, Foundations of Nursing,...
  17. Utica Accelerated BSN August 2013

    $50,000. I'm not sure about aid or scholarships. I have personal student
  18. Help with math??!

    First you have to figure out how to get rid of the "distractors" in the question. Just try and narrow it down to two things. "What do I need?" and "What do I have available?" It makes it so much...
  19. Anatomy & Physiology-HELP Identifying Bones

    The Anatomy coloring book helped me a
  20. Feeling stupid

    It's probably fine, nursing students do things wrong all the time in clinical. If you already knew what to do, you wouldn't need school. I've done plenty of thingsincorrectly in clinical that you'd...
  21. Hi. I'm in semester 2 of 4 in an accelerated second degree BSN program. And I feel like I suck at this. I try so hard, skills make me anxious, exams make me anxious, every week is like a struggle...
  22. Utica College Accelerated Program

    It's definitely difficult, you have to keep self-motivated and organized. You basically have to eat, sleep, and breathe nursing. But I feel like it's like that in a lot of programs. I get financial...
  23. Utica College Accelerated Program

    I go there. There is a bus stop that stops right in the building's parking lot if you want to consider taking a bus to campus. There are also multiple housing options within walking distance that...
  24. Nurse Practice Act

    Yeah, i agree reading through it would probably benefit you in the long run. However, sometimes you can use a Control-F function to find things within a document if it's in word. Another thing you...
  25. Trivial detail! Littmann Stethoscope Colors

    Pearl pink is my fave! Second fave is raspberry. Gotta love
