Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to pass med surg because I am at a lost for ideas. I am generally a great student and had a 3.8 GPA in my first semester of nursing school, but Med Surg has been a disaster an...

Thank you so much for your kind words. I certainly hope so, it's my last chance to stay in the program.

Oh thanks, yeah, that's pretty much what the study guide does.

We are using Brunner and Suddarth textbook of Medical Surgical nursing. I purchased the study guide for it as well. I am not sure what a clinical companion is?

Basically, my lecture is 3 hours long which is almost entirely spent by the instructor reading through the textbook powerpoint slides. Not very productive. I would like to use the in class time to study the material by bringing in my laptop and addin...

Thank you so much everyone for your helpful suggestions and ideas. I think you're right, that I spent too much studying everything in the book and all the review materials I got. I don't know if this strategy makes sense, but let me know what you thi...

Okay thanks, so any regular white sneakers are o.k as long as they are all leather?

Completely forgot about nursing shoes, saw on Blackboard that we will need them on first day of lab section along with uniform. If I recall correctly, did they say that we can wear regular sneakers as long as they are completely enclosed (no mesh et...

Yeah I have the same issue, I ordered Large but the pants are gigantic and way too long even tho I went by size chart. I'm going to have to see if I can take them to a tailor to adjust.

Okay thank you!!!

So, my schedule changed to New Academic building, but where do we report if our first day is the lab session? I heard Nursing Dept office or Auditorium where we had orientation, did anyone confirm which is it? Im working long hours and can never catc...

It depends on how prepared you are for the material. I would recommend taking a practice test and then seeing what your weak areas are and that will be a good indication of how much you will need to study. This book helped me alot, ATI TEAS Strategie...

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anybody knows when the physical form is due, the ones on Castlebranch. I dont see due dates on there and I went to my Dr early but the lab is having problems getting the blood work back on time, so they may only be ready a...

do u guys know if we need the als or bls for cpr?

Yes, I used a credit card to order mine.

Did anyone else get an email that they need to verify your residency?

I don't think there will be anymore sections, the program admits 70 people and there's 70 seats in sections combined.

Anyone want to start a Telegram group for us to share things and communicate as we undertake this journey? I don't know what the popular group apps are for people these days, but I have Telegram...

Hey guys, my major didnt change on My Academics but it just let me register for nursing classes! See if it works for you so you can get the sections you want!

Yes, I've been using payment plans to get through my pre-reqs but I've also worked full time and went part time to classes, I don't think I can do that in nursing though, I want/need to focus on the classes. I just did a FAFSA, it told me im eligible...

Do any second degree students know where we can get loans or aid to help with the program? This is an asociates and most programs require you to be in a bachelors. As a second degree student, I read I'm not eligible for aid even though I never took a...

Yes, I got a confirmation email from them this morning as well. Thank God, I was ready to make the trip to confirm in person, I worked way too hard to lose it on a clerical issue. We're almost there guys!

They give us until the 15th to accept our seats, so I will wait until Tuesday next week and if it doesn't change, I will email them again or go in person to the office.

Go on CunyFirst and on the first screen click My Academics. It will show you a page with what program you are enrolled in.

Can't register for classes yet, you have to wait until the registrar changes your major to Nursing.
