Hello, I have applied to SUNY Downstate's Fall 2012 CNM program and would like to get an idea of my chances. I would also like to connect with other applicants. I have a BSN, 3.5 GPA overall, and 5 years experience as a nurse. I would like to know ho...

Hey guys, I have been searching for an FNP or NP program that allows the completion of the theory courses first and the clinicals after. I see that SJCME had that program but they no longer offer it. Is their another program out there like that? Than...

Thank you so much guys. I am looking into frontier because right now it will be close to impossible for me to move.

Yes a program like that! One that would allow me to focus on the theory courses and give me more time to find preceptors (also focusing only on clinical work).

SJCME use to allow you to finish all your FNP theory classes and then you started clinicals. Such as taking FNP I, II, & III first then taking FNP practicum I, II, & III after. Most NP programs have their clinical classes and theory completed...

Midwifetobe85,I received another letter today stating that they sent me the wrong alternate letter. When I read the first letter it said that I would get a seat if a student in the CRNA program declined. Today the revised letter said that it was supp...

Chana160,Where you placed on the waiting list or did you just get interviewed late? Congrats on getting in and hope to see you guys in the fall.

Sadly, I was put on the alternate list and I'm praying that I at least get a part-time offer by the end of the summer. If I don't get in this year I'll just reapply next year. I plan on getting a MSN from WGU and getting certified in neonatal monitor...

I interviewed last week and It went pretty well. Congrats on being accepted midwifetobe85! I was trying to find the curriculum plan for part-time and could not find it. The school is a really good fit for me and my interview reinforced it. I hope to ...

Midwifetobe85 did you here their decision yet? I had my interview and it went pretty well, but I'm feeling so anxious and scared now. Waiting for a decision is one of the hardest things I have ever done!

Thanks midwifetobe85! How long did it take for you to hear back from Downstate about an interview after you submitted your application? I'm sending you a lot of luck and hopefully we will be classmates! Was the interview with one person or a panel? T...

I would love to know the actual salary for a CNM living in NYC. I found various salary sites quoting it at around 85,000 and I find it to be quite low. A a staff RN with 5 years experience I make 89,000 with barely any overtime in NYC.

i'm so sorry hun. keep your head up. have you looked into possibly going to graduate school or working in onther city close to home so you can see your son. i hope everything gets well soon for you. p.s. prayer always helps me in difficult times...

Chamberlain college of Nursing is an excellent school. The semesters are broken into two terms of 8 weeks. I am taking 2 nursing classes this term, then next 8 weeks I will take 3 nursing classes. After that, I will have to take a capstone nursing cl...

Hi I have been a ADN registered nurse for a year now but after my license I decided to work with an agency at a nursing home while taking classes for my BSN. I will graduate in the spring of 09 with the RN-BSN. My course loads are now only nursing cl...

I was offered 79k almost 80k but keep in mind that I am a new grad evening shift. But if you have certification and experience you can easily be making 85k. I know that hospice is depressing but Calvary is not all hospice, they also do palliative car...

Yes some hospitals are in a freeze and have told me that they are not taking any new hires now. Places like the HHC's, Methodist and maimonides in brooklyn. Some of my friends are also having a hard time getting into manhattan hospitals due to financ...

Hey, I am a RN looking for a job in NYC and by my experience I can tell you take the job. It is very hard to get a job in NYC now. I just got hired by Calvary hospital and got a tour of their facility and I loved it. You can always leave if you don't...

Hello, I would love it if someone was able to tell me how they got there job at Coney Island or Interfaith in Brooklyn, NY. If you work for another HHC I would also like your input on getting jobs there too. Some questions I have such as: How long di...
