Hello Nursing students, and Happy Autumnal Equinox!

 Do you know your NYUCN Resources? Fear not!

It is now the last full week of September into this new semester, and many of you are still adjusting to your new schedules. This is the time when students must also manage studying and homework assignments as well, and this can be very stressful.

Be sure to use your most valuable resources: EACH OTHER! Reach out to your classmates and exchange phone numbers to form possible study groups; 3 to 6 people is the ideal number. Here's a few more important reminders:

1)     PEER ADVISING PROGRAM: New students are encouraged to take advantage of this program; upperclassmen students are encouraged to sign up to become a peer advisor.

      2)      FALL2014 TUTORING SCHEDULE:  ADULT NURSING I combined with PATHOPHYSIOLOGY is being offered EVERY TUESDAY BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 facilitated by Melissa Morrison. 6:50PM-8:15PMin room LC9, Tisch Hall.

NYUCN Partners With SCPS Writing Tutoring Services!

We have an exciting new initiative to announce for our College of Nursing graduate (MS, DNP, and PhD) students! Through collaboration with NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS), College of Nursing graduate students now have access to free tutoring to improve writing skills!

Even graduate students need help with writing papers.  The craft of writing does not come easy to everyone, so whether you've been out of school for a while and need to brush up on your writing , or have always struggled with putting your thoughts down on paper - this free service will help you. Individual tutoring sessions are matched to your availability including evening and weekend hours.

To set up an appointment call: 212.992.9055.  Identify yourself as a graduate nursing student, provide your name, student ID number and your availability.  Evening and weekend hours are an option. At this point only appointments made by phone will be taken.  In the very near future there will be a convenient online scheduling system. 

Location: McGhee Tutoring Services 7E 12^th Street, 6^th Floor

Things to keep in mind:

• Tutors are not editors, proofreaders, graders, etc. They will provide feedback on your writing style, and in cases where grammar or sentence structure need to be addressed, they will work with you on those rules.

• Schedule appointments ahead of time so you can make any necessary changes to your work and turn assignments in on time.

• If you're working on a draft, bring two copies. One for you, one for the tutor.

• Come prepared with questions, information about a particular assignment, copies of a paper with teacher comments, any related notes or research. 

• Students are allowed a maximum of 5 hours of tutoring per semester. 

• Open to graduate students only.

If you have any specific questions about writing skills tutoring please email Mcghee.tutoring@nyu.edu. Additional information is also available on the Academic Advising Tutoring Program Website. Be sure to review the tab for graduate students!
