1. CSI (Staten Island) 2016 Applicants: average NLN score & GPA for admission

   JenniferKristinRN replied to mackey_ny's topic in New York

   CSI's nursing program has changed quite a bit in the last few years. What everyone else is saying is true, the NLN scores will vary with every semester. When I was in the program (I started in January of 2013) they accepted 90 new students and allowe...

2. I really hate nursing school?

   JenniferKristinRN replied to Nicolexo's topic in General Students

   During my first semester of nursing school I had the worst internal conflict. I hated nursing. I hated every aspect of it. Growing up, I had no idea what nurses ACTUALLY do. Unless you know a nurse personally, it's difficult to understand what nurses...

   JenniferKristinRN replied to arwen_0195's topic in Registration

   Are you waiting for your ATT? For permission to take the NCLEX? If so, no one told my class that after we sent out all of the paperwork we had to then register for the NCLEX via Pearson Vue and pay the $200 before we would receive our ATT. Once we pa...

4. What is or was your easiest or hardest nursing course

   JenniferKristinRN replied to angieperry's topic in General Nursing

   My least favorite was psych because of the professor. She was a really nice woman but A) she spoke incredibly slow and B) she talked about psych patients like they were animals. The hardest for me was Fundamentals because everything was so new and I ...

5. I finally did it!

   JenniferKristinRN replied to JenniferKristinRN's topic in New Nurse

   I'm sorry, I haven't checked this in a while! Of course when writing this I got far ahead of myself. I finished submitting all of my paperwork about a week ago so now it's just a waiting game on the background check. I was told HR will call me with a...

7. Does Maimonides Medical Center or Beth Israel hire Associate Degree Nurses?

   JenniferKristinRN replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in New York

   They're not quite partners yet. NS-LIJ gave MMC a gigantic loan and MMC has X-amount of years to decide if they either want to merge and have the loan absorbed or if they want to pay back the loan over a predetermined span of time and remain independ...

9. pearsonvue trick question

   JenniferKristinRN replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX

   While what everyone else is saying is true (you can pass and still be charged), when I took the NCLEX back in March I couldn't help but check. I transposed numbers or changed the expiration date (I also did it for my friend). It can't charge your car...

11. I finally did it!

    JenniferKristinRN posted a topic in New Nurse

    Warning: I'm a bit wordy... my apologies now. TLDR: YOU CAN DO IT! A little background information: I graduated with my A.A.S. this past January and became licensed in March. I applied for at least 200 jobs while going back to school for my BSN. I ho...

12. Does Maimonides Medical Center or Beth Israel hire Associate Degree Nurses?

    JenniferKristinRN replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in New York

    I currently work at Maimonides in a non-nursing position. I know of people getting nursing jobs with their Associate's but unfortunately, it's usually people that already work in the hospital. I have heard of students making positive impressions on t...

13. CUNY SPS Online RN-BSN Completion

    JenniferKristinRN replied to ThatKat's topic in Online Learning

    How does everyone like SPS? I am thinking about transferring from CSI's baccalaureate program but I'm not 100% of the decision. I have taken online courses in the past (CSI offers very few online nursing courses but I take them whenever I can) so I'm...

14. CUNY SPS RN BSN online program

    JenniferKristinRN replied to Maacanto's topic in New York

    Hi! I know this is an old thread but I was curious as to what either of you think of SPS. I'm currently enrolled in CSI's baccalaureate program (and only have 1.5 semesters left) but I'm actively searching for a job. Recently I've gone on two intervi...

15. Nursing documentation help

    JenniferKristinRN replied to tsm007's topic in New Nurse

    I had a clinical professor that would make us write narratives for each patient we had in clinical and she told us to always end them with "call bell within reach" no matter what. I'm glad you mentioned it.
