Where Does The Time Go?

We invite all of our College of Nursing Graduate students to join us in Where Does the Time Go?: Developing Your Plan for Effective Time Management - a webinar presented by the Office of Academic Advising in partnership with the Graduate Student Nursing Academy. The webinar takes place on 6/11/13 from 2:00pm-3:00pm.


This webinar will help you assess how you use your time throughout the week. Effective time management strategies related to academic study will be presented including organizational tools and goal setting. You will also be provided with some easy to use, tangible study tips to put into practice.

Participation is easy and free - register for the webinar today.

And for our undergraduate students, don't worry - we will be offering time management workshops during the upcoming fall semester. Contact nursingadvising@nyu.edu for more information.

We hope you will join us for this unique learning opportunity!

Summer Study Spots

Not everyone is off from classes this summer! So where will you study? 

In a loud and crowded city like NYC, it can be hard to find a nice spot to study. Check out some suggestions below and don't forget to ask the Student Resource Center for additional tips!

On Campus:

• There are available NYU Student Lounges, some of which are set aside for graduate students too! 

• Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, which is located at 70 Washington Square South. You can study in open areas on the lower levels of the library or on various floors. Individual cubicles are available too! View their summer hours here. 

• Washington Square Park: It's summer - study outside! Grab a blanket, a bottle of water, some sunscreen, and your books.

Near Campus:

• Esperanto Café on MacDougal between 3rd and Bleecker. It has a cozy vibe with yummy paninis and it’s usually pretty quiet.

• McNally Jackson on Prince Street between Lafayette and Bowery has a nice café area and a great selection of books to browse.

USA Today also has an excellent article on quiet places to study in NYC. Check it out here: USA Today's Study Spots!

The NYUCN Advising team wishes you a successful summer session!

Happy Nurses Week!

Every year, National Nurses Week is recognized between May 6th and May 12th as a time of the year to devote attention to the nursing profession. What did you do this week to recognize and celebrate the nursing profession? 

According to the American Nurses Association, this year's theme, "Delivering quality and innovation in patient care, emphasizes our role and influence in making the health care system work better for patients." 




So as some of you may be graduating, while the rest of you may still be scrambling to bring the semester to an end, we encourage you to think about this year's theme. Reflect on how you may deliver quality patient care some day. 

National Nurses Week is not over yet! Take some time out this weekend to celebrate the profession and your work - whether you're a new nurse or still a nursing student. Visit the ANA's website for suggestions.

Congratulations!

Summer is almost here...now what?

The semester is winding down; the weather is getting warmer, so we're dedicating this post to spring/summer in NYC. What are your plans this summer? Whether you're still in class or taking some time off, if you're sticking around NYC try visiting the following places:

Bronx Zoo - Get in touch with nature and grab some friends for a trip to the zoo. It's a fun and relaxing way to get out of the city and get your mind off of stressful schoolwork. Visit the zoo's website to find out more about special attractions this summer.

Central Park - Pack a lunch, grab your books, and study outside this summer! Or if you want to visit the park for a live concert, view the schedule at: http://www.cityparksfoundation.org/calendar/.

Check out one of the food vendors at the High Line! The High Line’s food vendors are open daily on the High between Little West 12th and West 18th Streets. All food vendors are open! Vendors include:  Blue Bottle Coffee, Delaney Barbecue’s SmokeLine, La Newyorkina, L’Arte del Gelato, Melt Bakery, People’s Pops, Sigmund’s Pretzels, and The Taco Truck, as well as Terroir at The Porch. Yummy!

We hope the rest of your semester goes well.
