CareerChange18 BSN, RN

I received an offer from Mt Sinai main campus and I have questions about the union. I'm leaning towards accepting but I do have other offers. How many weeks vacation do nurses get annually? Do nurses only do 3 12s, or is there one week yo...

I did. They didn’t know

The important thing to realize is that if you failed twice doing something, it’s important not to do that method again I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions first try in about an hour 15 minutes and I was an OK student (just missed honor society b...

How did you study the first two times?

Hey I’m currently in Spokane and I applied for a volunteer license along with a regular one. The volunteer emergency one was granted in 24 hours. My hospital was involved in the process. My agency (aya) was involved and made it easy too. I think once...

Uworld.com and choose nclex Rn package

I took the test Thursday 10/10. I used uworld and mark klimek audios. He has some excellent tips. Passed in 75 questions. I wouldn’t say I was a scholar student by any means. I think if I can pass with those two methods, anyone can. I didn’t find any...

Does anyone have issues signing up for the electives? I'm trying to sign up for the HIV one and it says I need approval, which doesn't make sense because it's an option.

Were Your classes lectures, online or a mix? How Many days were clinical?

Tuesday, May 29

I will be attending in May and by next month I will have a year and a half of CNA hospital experience. I think in the application instructions it strongly suggested to have clinical experience. It helped in the interview because I had a lot to talk a...

Does anyone know when the first day of classes begin? I know Orientation is Tuesday, May 29 right after Memorial Day weekend.

Yes I did. I emailed them before I decided to even enroll and register just to make sure I wasn't wasting time and money (my union is covering tuition, so I didn't spend that much money). They never informed me of such a policy, and I have their prom...

I am currently taking patho online at Nassau CC. It's too late to sign up for a course though. I signed up and got in one of the last online seats as soon as I found out I was accepted to Downstate and paid my deposit. Your best best was to start loo...

1) does anyone know any accredited cna schools that are cheap? Idk what you define as "cheap", most programs on average are around $1000. If you work in a nursing home, they may reimburse you. You said you're going to city tech so research CNA schoo...

Congrats fellow/future downstate students! We should be getting our aide packages soon. I filed FAFSA/federal but not NYS yet.

That's ridiculous. Nursing schools require lifespan because it's comprehensive. I don't understand why they'd wanna be so limiting.

Are you sure about everyone going at their own pace? It says the program takes a minimum of 3 years to complete, unless that information is obsolete. I have almost all the liberal arts stuff complete except for like, 3 courses. I'm hoping they accept...

No I don't. I had them all completed a couple years ago when I first applied. Alotta the liberal arts/humanities requirements I did with my first bachelors.

I got A's and B's in my prereqs. I applied early October.

I received a call for an interview today as well! Congrats to everyone else who did!

Nahhhh they're gonna narrow it down and to interviews for a few.

I spoke to the director today, Professor Carr. She said that they are doing interviews but haven't contacted any applicants yet.

I haven't gotten anything in the mail. Only an email for my acceptance and instructions about a background check on 11/22. I paid the $100 deposit today.

Hey y'all! I applied to this cycle of downstates ABSN program as well. I also applied in 2015 but my application wasn't complete because I couldn't take the TEAS in time (spots fill up so quickly!) But I finally took the teas, scored well in all four...
