as a parent who's child was in there many many times..don't do it! These people run an almost monopoly for child psych in NY. There is next to no therapy, the place is dirty, kids looking after kids, " school" is obsolete, my child was jumped away from the cameras, the children are given utter crap food, yet get led to lunch past the visitor/ staff food line which actually has good food. It is a cruel, neglectful place dressed up with pine trees that the kids never even get to enjoy. As a parent when your child needs in patient, yes you have to do it, but you have to basically do it or else. The only place with beds is always 4 winds. I sent my child there , and the child I got back I didn't know. This place is an utter dumping ground, and if your child is not " better" in the amount of time your insurance will pay out, they try to ship them off to Rockland psych. Some wonderful employees go there trying to make a change, but you cannot change the actual entity

Hi all, this is my first post, I do hope I am in the appropriate section. I have been diligently studying the ATI 5th edition for my test on August 5th. In hindsight, I feel I should have taken this exam after I took my college algebra. At that time I thought I should take my chem, and A&P 1 first, and that is what I did. I realized I forgot a lot of my algebra, however I have been working like crazy, and got a lot back. Here is my one problem, word problems with translating variable expressions. When I get a problem like [h=3]Enrique weighs 5 pounds more than twice Brendan's weight. If their total weight is 225 pounds, how much does Enrique weigh?[/h] I have no idea what I am doing. Like if someone just gave me a number problem, I can get it, but I cannot set this up for the life of me. I am dyslexic, word problems have always been a challenge. I have worked so hard, and can do almost all of them, but not things like this. I am going over a textbook, i know the key things like what to look for to signify multiplication, division etc, and i am still having such a hard time. I keep practicing, and trying, but I keep failing. Sadly I have worked problems so many time my brain,'unintentionally; has the answer for the problem memorized, but not the procedure...sometimes it feels like my dyslexia is some kind of glass ceiling. I have a 3.8 gpa, I was a great emt, I know i will make a great nurse...but this kind of stuff with standardised tests makes me want to cry, and throw in the towel. My program is very competitive, and I work so hard. I work, and work, and yet this kind of problem...I just cannot do. Well I should not say cannot, I cannot do it yet. Does anyone know of a good site, or resource material that will help me get stronger in this area? I keep studying, and going to my college math lab just to prepare for this...so an additional tips would be greatly appreciated
