wanna-be-nurse

I read this thread earlier this evening and its been really on my mind all night. This is a major concern for me because I do not like working in an environment where I constanly have to fight for my respect and dignity. I hate having to constantly...

Hey Ari, nice thread, I would love to hear from many CUNY students. I go to Lehman (generic BSN) and will start my clinicals this semester. Excited and nervous. Will have my orientation on Wed. the 25th and as you all know, school will start on Th...

Wow, good luck to you. With patience such as yours, I wish you only the best in your nursing career.

I am tired of seeing such negative threads!! I have an idea... Let's talk about the positive side of nursing! Can anyone say what is the best part of nursing? Why get into the profession? Anything positive happened at work today? Please share an...

I just got my physical for school and the docs office I went to doesn't even have a nurse (RN, LPN)!!!! They have a medical assistant (who by the way is very good at what she does) give me my diphteria shot, ppd, veinpuncture, bp, basic asstments. ...

AHHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations, break a leg kid!!

My pet peeve, students who complain how the teacher is a bad teacher when he/she gets a bad grade while everyone else passed with good grades. And the usual I guess, you know, cell phones, chatting, disruptive behavior.

Wow and you want to be/are nurse.....A bit insensitive and ignorant. hmmm, lets see, runny nose all throughout the year, seem like allergies to me not sickeness. Its not there fault they have a runny nose all the time. I would say as a nurse you sh...

I love these responces, it almost make me cry to read these cause I can feel what your saying. Epiphany: I know how you feel. I am first generation, I was born in the USA and my parents are from the Dominican Republic. I hate how some Americans ...

Thank you so much Sunshine, that was really sweet of you. I start on Jan. 26 and have my orientation in the 25th. I wish everyone the best in their endeavors and please keep in touch as far as how is it going.:cheers:

Well Olive, I had some pre-req. from my previous degree but I entered Lehman on Sep. 2004. I was done with my pre-req by Summer 2005 and applied to the nursing program on January 2005 (Remember you have to apply to the program eventhough you are acc...

I see the little kids all the time on campus. When the teachers take them out, the they put them in a line and they look so cute and happy. I don't know much about their childcare programs but it seems great. Best of luck!!

I am a wreck!! So nervous because I do not know what to expect in my first semester as a nursing student. I got accepted into the BSN program..yeh! at Lehman College in NYC. I am scheduled for my clinicals on Wed. and Thurs from 8am to 3pm and tak...

:smackingf :smackingf That is soooo funny!!

You have been the first to mentioned good lotion and thanks for that. I was just thinking about that because I get dry skin now and I now I will when I start my clinicals.

I think that would be a tough one too.

I know that must be tought. Im a waitress and I work evenings so I really don't go to bed until 1am and get up at around 12pm. I love it. I know my body's gonna be shocked at the fact that I have to get up at 6.30am for 3 days in a row... lol,

Thank you. Its the VA in the Bronx, which is not far from Lehman, about 10 minutes away which is great. Where are you in your studies? Have you decided in a particular school?

I totally agree with you....nurses should take the initiative and stand up for themselves and sometimes it means sacraficing yourself for a cause. I think it is why it is so difficult to do because alot of nurses might have their jobs taken away fro...

I am a waitress at a restaurant and I love it!!! I also waitress for catering companies so I get called on jobs and I either take it or leave it. My goal for next year is to get my resume out there to as many catering companies I can so I can do th...

I do not disagree as MTA part of the city but if MTA has surplus, it belongs to MTA not the city as a whole, money can not be moved around simply as that. My disagreement is the wide gap between the MTA's top and fellow workers. You should read thi...

I love this site...you guys make this site so hospitable, thank you....so what would you say is the worst and best part of clinicals? And please be honest...

I know its been long since you posted this but maybe this will help. Two very different professions, I suggest you shadow a person in each of these professions. Hospitals are very willing to do that, just go to the volunteer department in the hospi...

Hey Echinacea, Just posted a thread of the same topic. I am also interested in more info on Lehman. I just got accepted this past fall and will be starting in January as a nursing student. First let me tell you that it was very difficult to get in...
