   aarnigo posted a topic in Urology

   Hello! I'm a new grad starting my first nursing job at an outpatient dialysis unit. This might seem really silly, but I need help cannulating patients with fistulas and grafts. Sometimes I get them, and sometimes I don't - some other time I just need...

   aarnigo posted a topic in Job Hunt

3. Nursing student health insurance?

   aarnigo replied to aarnigo's topic in General Students

   It's okay! This will only make me stronger, haha! I might be! But then again, I don't have any life qualifying events, like the ones you mentioned, so I still don't qualify for coverage outside the enrollment. I am also low-income, so low that they a...

4. Nursing student health insurance?

   aarnigo replied to aarnigo's topic in General Students

   Hello, everyone! So I called the school and they weren't really offering any sort of health insurance. I believe it's because of a law (I'm in NJ) that was passed 3 years ago saying that (full-time) students aren't required to purchase one from the s...

6. Nursing student health insurance?

   aarnigo replied to aarnigo's topic in General Students

   I've been thinking of doing that as well. It's required before all students start their clinicals. I'm just afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it.

9. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

   aarnigo replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

   I agree for number 7 so so much. Not that I'm selfish, it's just that having a peer group/group study whom you share and exchange knowledge with is different from students who simply asks for answers "just to pass this class". I don't understand. The...

10. Applying to only one school

    aarnigo replied to WEEWOOWW's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congratulations on your acceptance! I have almost the same situation as yours and I'm feeling really worried as well. People keep recommending me to apply to other schools but it isn't as easy as that because of the prerequisites. In my community col...

11. A&P tips

    aarnigo replied to JamesPickett's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I used to record lectures on my Sony recorder, that worked very well on me! Except for the slides and my notes, another thing was simply reading the chapters, and having to do chunks of work everyday--like pieces of questions for practice. Although I...

    Hello! Yes, I do want to be a nurse. The prerequisites are the same, but before students can still take the prerequisites until the spring semester and now they changed this up to fall. I tried applying for this coming semester and weren't notified b...

15. Pursue a certificate and transfer(?) or Prereqs & stay/transfer(?) Essex County College!

    aarnigo replied to aarnigo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is a recent decision of mine, but even before I start with the general education requirements I was taking remedial classes and did not really affect anything--only the status of my major. I've also only followed the curriculum design for the sch...
