  1. Do nursing programs ever drug test during orientation or do they always send you somewhere else?

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to kalesalad's topic in General Students

    Programs tend to drug test prior to clinicals starting each semester but they can test you at any time if they feel there is a

  2. Nurse Residency Background Check Question

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to Akin2's topic in General Students

    Some facilities take a couple of months time between interview and a start date, but others move quicker. Always assume that if you're applying, you're considered ready to work and the process may go...

  3. Titers?

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to mhop34's topic in General Students

    Walk in Urgent Care centers are a cost-effective way of checking titers and receiving needed

  4. Pre-nursing NO VAX program? ABSN Masters or ASN

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to Nursemaybe's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what state you're in, but I will say that a reputable school will require vaccinations, since they are an important part of public health. This is due to clinical sites requiring them to...

  5. Prenatal Clinic vs. Doula - Which volunteer position should I choose?

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to PinkRose34's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! I’ve worked as a doula for some years prior to becoming a nurse, but also a midwife assistant at both a birth center and with a private practice midwife. The clinic option sounds good *only*...

    I'm in fourth; still waiting to go. They have us signing up for fit testing but no one seems to know when we are actually going into the

  8. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    It was this way when I started. First semester always fools you into thinking everything is going to be great but...no. So many little things have added up into a bad experience. I am graduating in...

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    Somehow I figured I would hear that; I’m sorry for how it’s been for you guys. I’m in fourth semester myself and yeah; it’s been a mess the entire time. I tried to give a heads up about it a...

    I’m wondering how the accepted applicants of this thread are

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    Yep! Get the textbooks where you can. The virtual stuff can be added later. First semester, we didn’t even use a virtual program, but it may be different this time due to hybrid

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    My advice is to wait to purchase CoursePoint/PrepU. What we did was buy the textbook separately and then once the teacher told us they intended to use CoursePoint, we bought that. Not for nothing, we...

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    She had us write three strengths and weaknesses about the program and spent an hour listening to students vent about our issues. No word yet on any positive outcomes from this. I will say this; she...

  14. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    No. Two more semesters to go. We had a chance to air our grievances to the new chair today. She’s empathetic but basically it was a very full room of very gripey

  15. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    Exciting, everything is new and you’re feeling positive. And then our clinical onboarding was delayed for weeks in the first semester. And other little things became more noticeable. My clinical...

  16. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    It can be tougher to decide what to do if you’re already in the program and then see things happening that affect you that aren’t in your control. I thought I would share what I’m going through...

  17. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    It’s still accredited because it meets the qualifications for New York State; a dossier exists for every nursing student where all of your care plans and other work is kept. They meet the criteria...

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    That rejection may really be a blessing in disguise, honestly. Yes, it’s cheaper to attend this program but sometimes, you really get what you pay for. I would pay more to be able to confidently get...

  19. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    Exactly, and that’s where we are finding ourselves right now. There hasn’t been a clear path of recourse if there is an issue. Also, the NCLEX is changing and as a result, the tests are changing....

  20. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    We just got a new chair after a whole year. People who had to go through the appeals process were told that their appeal went to the wrong person, or that it wasn’t read at all. So many little...

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    There is another City Tech student who was in my cohort that has a real horror story. bhooooop is his tag on allnurses and it’s awful. Due to THEIR error, he couldn’t continue this semester and...

  22. City Tech Fall 2020

    HopefulAutumn16 replied to B20's topic in School, College Programs

    GPA is probably the least of the problem; practically everyone has a solid one. I think my cohort was a 3.47 or something like that. This program is disorganized, tests aren’t reviewed and it’s...

    Hi all! I'm in the metropolitan NYC area and I did all my pre-reqs at City Tech and am an Honors student. Problem is, I'm a single mom of 2 and I have been doing classes in the evenings. I work as...
