Finals are Here: Need a Place to Go?

The Office of Academic Advising wishes you well on finals, papers, and projects!

During this time it is necessary to identify a place in which you are comfortable working. Not sure where that might be? Refer to our post on good places to study around campus, which can be found here. Although there is no more "beautiful summer weather," there are still many places that you could study indoors.

For more information you could also refer to the email sent by NYUCN's Student Affairs Officer, Cindy Lundberg. She has highlighted some places that are open for study and snacks! The information is below:

Registration: Things to Remember

NYUCN Undergraduate Students,

As the first registration week for Spring 2012 comes to a close there are just a few things to remember for those of you registering for clinical sequence courses:

1. Although Integrative Seminar (I, II) sections appear as closed in Albert, you will automatically be registered by the Undergraduate Programs Office.

2. All nursing students are guaranteed a spot in clinical sequence courses. Having trouble finding an open section? Email Tanisha Johnson-Campbell, Assistant Director of the Undergraduate Program, at tanisha@nyu.edu for assistance.

3. Be flexible! Although the clinical site you wanted most at NYU Langone may be closed, there is no way to know what exciting learning opportunities await you in Brooklyn, for example. Have an open mind as you approach your clinical experience and take advantage of the opportunity to exit your comfort zone, see another part of the city, and take active steps toward becoming a well rounded student-nurse.

And remember: your clinical site selections must be finalized by November 28, 2011!

Resumes and Cover Letters

Do you think having a polished resume and knowing how to write a cover letter is important only for students in Stern? Think again! Resumes and cover letters are two of the most important aspects of applying for a position in any field, as prospective employers will often decide who to interview based on these documents.

The Wasserman Center for Career Development is holding two Resume and Cover Letter Workshops in November specifically for College of Nursing students. Learn how to make your application stand out and get the job you want! This is a great opportunity to gain the lifelong skill of writing professional resumes and cover letters that highlight your individual strengths. Please RSVP to The Office of Academic Advising at nursingadvising@nyu.edu. The events will be held in The College of Nursing:

Monday, November 14, 2011

2:15 – 3:15

Nursing Conference Center, 726 Broadway

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

11:00am – 12:15
