Hi, everyone! I am considering TIA School of Allied Health in NYC for CNA course. I checked the yelp reviews and it seems TIA only has positive reviews from many programs they offer but CNA course. There is, however, one negative review about CNA cou...

Hello, everyone applying to Lehman's BSN/ABSN programs for Fall 2018! I am currently working on my application and will very soon take HESI. I know application period does not start until January 1, but I thought I would create a thread so we could g...

Hi AN fellows! I know it is super early to start such a thread but I was hopping to connect with potential applicants/classmates for Columbia SON MDE 2018 program! If you are applying to Columbia SON for summer 2018, let's share our experiences, ide...

Hi all, Thanks for reading! So, as someone who already holds a couple of degrees, my best option is to apply to an accelerated BSN. There are a few schools in NYC I will be applying to (in summer 2017 for summer/fall 2018 start) that offer 12-16 mont...

Also, those applying to Lehman ABSN, the program now is 15 months, and unlike previously, the start date is early June, so all of the pre-reqs must be completed by spring semester of the summer start date.

I think if the pre-reqs are older than 10 years, you can retake them and the old grades won't matter. But then again, contact the school to confirm. Also, if they do allow retakes (in your case), will you want to spend a year or so to retake those co...

Well, I have become one of the thousands of nursing students who has reached that point of no return, thinking if it is worth it... Anyways, I will spare you the details, and tell that I failed my clinical mid-term. The final grade is due in 2 weeks ...

Hello, The level of rigor at Lehman's program is influenced by many aspects, including student's own resiliency, and level of commitment. Based on my own experience, my first semester was incredibly difficult, particularly with pathophysiology. Right...

Hello, everyone! Here comes yet another thread on the struggles of a nursing student with med-surg. I did rather well in my funds, patho, pharm, psych, and now taking med-surg 1, research class and critical thinking class. Oh and I am in an accelerat...

Are you asking as a pre-nursing student who will take HESI entrance exam, or as an actual student who will be studying for HESIs coming up next week? If you are a pre-nursing student taking HESI entrance exam, I think studying 6-8 hours a day for a m...

I am in the same boat as you; nursing diagnoses are beasts! This is how I would rephrase it though: Impaired Mobility r/t inflammation of feet aeb bilateral edema of feet and ankles. One trick that I use to check if my nursing dx makes sense is to r...

Here I am, asking this same very question for a zillion's time! I am having my first ever nursing type of exam this Wednesday. Needless to say it is a lot of chapters to cover. I admit I have no structured take on studying for such an exam. I do, how...

Thank you all for giving my some valuable advice! As far as how I did, I am not sure. I mean I feel it can go either way, but the grade is not posted until tomorrow, if anything. I also had my first patho exam today, on the same day with my fundament...

Thank you!

Hi there! So I am in week 3 of the first semester of nursing school. Btw, it is an accelerated BSN program. So, so far I have had 2 clinicals on campus, and I will have my third one tomorrow. I am actually going to the hospital next Friday! Anyways,...

I really appreciate your taking time to write such a comprehensive response! I do agree, that the real learning begins after graduation. As a second degree student, I guess, I expected more. But I will follow your advice to the T. My biggest fear is ...

I agree. But I feel like complaining will only make matters worse. I guess I will try to make the best of this situation. This coming Friday we are going to the hospital, so I will see how it will go.

I agree. That is what I keep telling myself, that the job will be the real learning.

Well, the first couple weeks we are supposed to learn the basics before we practice the skills on actual patients. So, next Friday we are going to the hospital.

As I was reading your post I thought you might be in my program. I am going into week 3 as well, and will be taking my first round of nursing exams in a couple of weeks. I have been through bachelor's and master's programs and did well, but I know nu...

I feel your pain. I am actually only in week 2 of the first semester of the accelerated BSN program. Thus far I feel like there is nothing to worry about, especially with all these holidays in September. Since I am taking 4 courses this fall, I will ...

Thanks for the info! However, I am a bit confused when you said that we can show up to the hospital wearing uniforms but should not leave the hospital wearing uniforms. if this is true, that means we still have to bring some change of clothes. Am I g...

Well, that is puzzling to me, too. I do not think they have lockers in the building. And if they do have lockers, they might be tiny. But I would still bring the combination lock just in case.

I have heard from a couple students that you should change on campus, but some say they arrived already wearing uniforms. I guess it is more strict when you go to the actual clinical site. I will change into uniforms on campus.

I don't think there is such a link. Like the prof said, you can watch it in the comp lab.
