   During my MDE year, there were students still getting immunizations and requirements completed during the first week of classes. So I’m sure you’ll get plenty of flexibility considering the...

   My comment wasn’t meant to be condescending. I was genuinely asking you what that commenter thought warranted a reduction in tuition, and she answered, saying that she would be bummed if there...

   Why would they reduce tuition? Are you expecting your professors won’t be lecturing online? Are you expecting they won’t answer your questions and clarify things for you? A zoom/online classroom...

   I would say that from what I’ve heard from my coworkers, none of them learned to start IV’s or do blood draws in school. It’s just not something most nursing schools do anymore. That said, even...

   I mean, that first Summer is full. Very full. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can relax those first few weekends. You should start prepping for exams from day 1 because once they start,...

   Just know that your clinical day is a full day, and your skills lab day ends up being almost a full day also because you have sim, skills lab and physical assessment lab. So basically, first Summer,...

   I’m not sure if you’ll be hearing back in the next couple weeks or not. Much of the campus is shut down due to

   As someone who owns a car, I would say that you won’t need it day to day. However, I rented a car over 4th of July weekend last year, and with insurance, it cost me nearly $500. It was convenient to...

   I would say that probably 25% of people who live in student housing have a pet. Cats are easy for sure. Dogs are a little tougher. I would say having a dog in Bard would be difficult, but it is...

    Campus housing is definitely the most bang for your buck if you can get into the towers. I haven’t heard amazing things about Bard Hall, but it’s cheap, so that’s a plus. If you do not already...

    I am an MDE graduate, but I do not work at NYP. I know that they do hire new grads, but I’m sure it’s easier to get a position if you make connections with a manager during clinical or integration...

    I would say that most people will have no issue getting a job with an MSN instead of a BSN. Managers think it’s odd, but it doesn’t affect your job prospects really (at least not here). Starting...

    I would say that working during the first summer would be extremely hard on your mental health more than anything else. I don’t know anyone who did more than a few hours a week. You’ll have exams...
