1. Frustrated with NJ BON

   jujubee1008 replied to lissa0927's topic in New Jersey

   I took my exam in July and didn't get licensed until September. I think the call that finally got results was asking for a supervisor and then asking for her to explain how classmates who took NCLEX after me got licensed before me....my number was i...

   jujubee1008 replied to haveMERCY RN, BSN's topic in New Jersey

   Congrats!! It's a tough program, but if you focus and keep on top of your studies, you will be fine. The instructors are amazing...and if you ever feel that they are being too tough on you, remember that they are only trying to make sure that you kno...

3. What motivates you to pass NCLEX?

   jujubee1008 replied to mzznurse's topic in NCLEX

   My motivation? I've got so many reasons to pass NCLEX...let's see: (1) I've wanted to be a nurse since I was a kid (2) to show my child that it's never too late to follow a dream (3) for my family who has been encouraging me throughout my nursing sch...

   The minimum NLN score is in the 45th percentile. You should definately aim for 90% and above though since they really only want the top scorers on the entrance exam. Have you already begun the process? It's my understanding that the Fall 2011 class i...

5. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   jujubee1008 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   We are all tired of you making every lecture, pre-clinical and post-clinical experience 1/2 hour longer than is needed. We don't want to hear how everything makes you feel outrage at our healthcare system. Please stop acting as though you should be a...

6. If you FAIL a semester, how many chances do you get to finish?

   jujubee1008 replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

   In our school, you are allowed to repeat a semester once during the following year. You also need to do some type of remediation before you are allowed back to re-take the course. If you fail again, you are out of luck...although I've heard of some...

   I'm counting the days to my graduation date in May 2011.

8. When did you decide on a specialty?

   jujubee1008 posted a topic in General Students

   I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to specialize in after graduation. I wanted to go either into the ER or forensic nursing, but I've had some people tell me that I'd do really well either in ICU or in peds. Is this something that...

9. Starting NS w/ no prereqs = suicide?

   jujubee1008 replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Students

   I started from scratch in my program and am about to go into my 2nd semester. I took Fundamentals along with A&P I and I didn't think it was too difficult since it all tied in together. Everyone thinks it's suicide for me to take 18 credits (Nurs...

    jujubee1008 replied to Rvca's topic in New Jersey

    You can pretty much wear what you like on lecture days except for pj pants, super low cut jeans, short shorts and tops with inappropriate sayings or cleavage. For pre-clinical days, you need business attire as well as your lab coat. The school stre...

    I can't say enough wonderful things about CHSON. The instructors truly care about their students and are passionate about teaching us to become amazing nurses. They also have an excellent pass rate for the NCLEX, which is due to their teaching strat...
