   Hi all, Has anyone applied or heard from Jefferson for the program starting January 2015? Their application process was cumbersome to say the least, but I'm wondering how long until they invite prospective students for interviews?

   NJRNtobe replied to NJRNtobe's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everyone for your responses. I know this story is all too common, but I can't help shake the feeling that I'm being genuinely mistreated. It clearly does nothing for my personal confidence, but aside from that - I'm missing the education I w...

   NJRNtobe replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have had 2 C-sections that were both problem free and I would say it took anywhere from 45 min - 1 hour. There's some prep that happens before you head into the OR but that's just basic things - assessment of mother and baby, starting a line, flui...
