macetheace04 ADN, ASN, RN, EMT-B

Hello! I recently got a job in the ED at a level 1 trauma center in the Bronx. It's part of NYC Health + Hospitals and there is a newly issued "NYC wide residency" in place. It isn't a year but it is 16 weeks. I start orientation this week and it see...

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have been applying to almost every ABSN program in the LI-NYC area, and I'm not having much luck. My cumm. GPA is only a 2.8. However, I am an EMT-B and I do have clinical experience. My degree is a BS in Biology,...

I'm at Lincoln too. The TNCC you won't need until about 6months in, they don't recommend taking it earlier because it doesn't make sense without trauma nursing experience. The ACLS on site happens infrequently and there is no PALS on site. You can ta...

Which facility are you in? Lincoln, Jacobi and North Central are all in the Bronx. For us it was 3 weeks of class room and 5 days of system wide/hosp specific formal days. There were tests and skill competencies. I'm on the unit now. For the first 2...

Hello! I am a new graduate ADN on Long Island. It's a VERY hard area to break into as a new grad and especially as an ADN and NYC and Queens/Bklyn are even harder. I am already in a BSN program (I started the last semester of my ADN program) and I'll...

Does anyone have a working telephone number for HR / Talent Acquisition? I tried calling the number online but its all automated and I couldn't get to a real person.

If you don't mind, what are you credentials? BSN or ASN and new grad or experienced? I'm applying as a new grad so I don't know if I will get an interview if there are people with experience applying

Hi, which fellowships did you apply to? I applied to LIJ and Lenox Hill ED but haven't seen a status change, but they did take both job postings down today. How was the video and phone interview? I read on past forums the whole process took 3-4 weeks...

Hi guys! I recently applied to the BSN program at Touro in Brooklyn. I searched on here for a threat for them but the most recent one is still from a few years ago. Does anyone have any information about the program? Are there any grads on here or an...

I spoke to admissions and the nursing department earlier today. They said that emails went out yesterday and paper letters will go out today. If you call admissions, they'll tell you if you were accepted (even if you applied through the nursing depar...

Hey!! Congratulations to you. My status changed as well, but they told me "not to celebrate until we get the official decisions" did they tell you if you see the status change, you are definitely in? Would like to know if I can have a celebratory dri...

Yes, I said in the post I have never been in a nursing program before. I should have specified and said have never been enrolled. I will post my stats after work, when I can look at my transcripts. Letters/emails should be out today or tomorrow they ...

Hey!! So I applied to nursing (day) for this semester, and my status changed to Nursing - Day AS this morning. I called admissions to confirm, and they transferred me to the nursing department. They wouldn't give me any decision information over the ...

Hi nursing.mk, My BS GPA isn't that high, honestly. But I have As in all pre-reqs except for one B. I got a 124 on the NLN. I believe it is rolling admissions? What is your BS GPA? I don't think Touro is that competitive when it comes it GPA because...

Yes! I called the Nursing Department and asked them about that, and they told me that no admits that are new applicants for the fall of 2016 can register yet

So I currently go to Nassau as a non-degree seeking student. I stopped in to the nursing dept. office last Friday, and she told me all letters would be going out by today (Tuesday) the latest, and that the registration change doesn't mean anything. T...

Hi guys-I I applied to NCC for the fall too, but I'm nervous about getting a seat in the program. My GPA is a 3.54 and I scored 78.77% on the TEAS, in the 87 percentile for the program, but I heard from someone who is the program right now that you h...

Hi guys, I just took the teas and applied for Fall 2016. I heard that last year a lot of people with GPAs of 3.7 and higher didn't get in, and my GPA is only a 3.5. My TEAS score was in the 88 Percentile of the program (leavel: advanced) and I have a...
