   PDA's are allowed, in some hospitals, you can even get their latest drug updates, but you can do fine without the PDA. The drug book, lab book and hospital computer covers just about everything. It would be nice, if you were leaning to carrying a P...

2. Math Whizs please reply

   nj1grlcrus replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   you move the decimal at the start of the problem, let's see if I can type it in. Let's say 25.5 divided by 0.5. change that to 255 divided by 5, you moved each decimal place over one so that you could make 0.5 into a whole number, no decimal. Now...

3. teamwork?

   nj1grlcrus replied to RNfaster's topic in General Nursing

   Teamwork is the name of the game. The nurse is responsible for making sure the pt is taken care of. If call lights or cleaning is stacked up, they better pitch in. Or learn to manage pts and CNA better. And telling CNA's that s__t is beneath them ...

   Congrats to all! I am going into second year nights at Bergen. You need to buy a stethescope, it is not included in the kit, the BP cuff is optional, but make sure it is manual, not digital, they are cheap, under $20 at Walgreen's and other drugsto...

6. Male nurse looks

   nj1grlcrus replied to albert6jed's topic in Men

   OOPS, didn't finish the post, after the first haircut, the instructor was still asking me to pull back the hair, finally just cut it SHORT. You get graded on everything in school, after that, as long as you are clean and neat, no problem

7. Male nurse looks

   nj1grlcrus replied to albert6jed's topic in Men

   The hair thing affects women, too. I am a nursing student that HAD medium length hair, layered, and I couldn't get it pulled back into a ponytial.

8. can someone help me pleeeeeeeeease (metric question)

   nj1grlcrus replied to reidesert's topic in Student Assist

   4.16M (100cm/1M) = 416cm 416cm(1dm/10cm) = 41.6dm first I changed to cm, then to dm, answer 41.6 dm if you did it from mm it would be: 4.16M(1000mm/1M) = 4160mm 4160mm(1cm/10mm) = 416cm then go to the above conversions, hope it helped;)

   nj1grlcrus replied to PoppaD's topic in General Nursing

10. Does this sound strange to you?

    nj1grlcrus replied to inquiry123's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't sound like a big deal to me, I know my MIL gets her flu shot from a neighbor who is a nurse, she brings it home with her.

11. They make me feel like a failure

    nj1grlcrus replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate

    It's like this, when asked about WHY NURSING? you should say, "If you have to ask, you'll never understand!" or whatever it is that the bikers say. You are a member of the elite, don't fall prey to the haters. :wink2:

    nj1grlcrus replied to time2fly's topic in General Students

    we didn't get a break(food or drink kind) on our clinical, but the bathroom was always available.

14. Just accepeted FINALLY!!!

    nj1grlcrus replied to Bre14's topic in General Students

    All suggestions were great. The NCLEX questions are key, if your instructors dive right in with critical thinking skills. That's what drove most of my class crazy. You will get questions and ask the instructor, is there more than one correct answe...

15. Too old????

    nj1grlcrus replied to Yayamaya's topic in Career Support

    I am 50, just finished Level I nursing for an RN, ADN. Critical thinking came much easier to me than to some of the youngsters, so I think you will have an edge, not a liability because of your age, go for it:lol2:
