  1. Education of nurses

    I don't think an ADN says anything about a person. Afterall, I just finished my ADN, however I also hold a BS in biology/animal science. I have had statistics and probably more science than any BSN prepared student. I have performed my own research, ...
  2. Stretching the truth...

    I did put my clinical experience on my resume, but labeled it as such, with the name of the hospital, the area, and how long. I list my true work experience totally separate. Alot of BSN programs have their students in one area, but at our school we ...
  3. nursing / mri tech dilemma

    I suggest shadowing both if you can. Quite honestly, I thought about being a rad tech for 5 minutes before I decided on nursing, because there are so many options. I recently went down with a patient to get a CT for possible CVA and O>M>G. I WA...
  4. Feeling useless/unsure in clinical/sim lab

    WE DOOOOO have the talking breathing sim man and it still sucks!!! You still can't tell WHAT is going on with that thing half the time.
  5. Feeling useless/unsure in clinical/sim lab

    Wait a minute... you said sim lab. With that stupid mannequin??? I HATE that thing. The best nurse could go in there and think WTH is this??? You have no facial expressions or body language, just a bunch of fake sounds and a monitor to look at... the...
  6. I'm in NJ in an ADN program in my last semester and yes, we have a minimum of 3 patients. If we have 3 we have to do everything (vitals, linens, etc.). We are on a med/surg floor. If we have 4 or more we can delegate the vitals and such. I have to sa...
  7. The Mockery of Nursing

    LOL!! You think???
  8. I agree with hiddencat. Sometimes you have to show them that you aren't going to let them get to you. Chances are the other instructors don't take her seriously if she acts in that manner, but I would confront her exactly the way hidden cat suggested...
  9. The Mockery of Nursing

    Watch out all you crusty old bats with "only" ADN's... I had a nurse manager tell me that BSN's are trained with better critical thinking skills. Seeing as I am in an ADN program, I was a bit put off to say the least.
  10. The Mockery of Nursing

    Yup... been done already. What about the "I want to be an NP but want an online only program. Can you help me find one in my area?"
  11. The Mockery of Nursing

  12. The Mockery of Nursing

  13. Cumberland County College Fall 2010 RN Program

    They don't have the handbook on the website. You should go to the school and stop in to the nursing secretary and get the pamphlet and handbook. Here is a list of prereq's for the program.... page down for the LPN transition. http://www.cccnj.edu/dep...
  14. Fourth semester peeps weigh in!

    We don't start again until monday but I'm already reading. I am SO glad this is the last semester, but I am still burnt out from the 3rd honestly, and NOT wanting to do this. Anyway, we have a good 8 chapters to read just for the first week. First 2 ...
  15. Procrastination...why now???

    I totally understand!! I have to say, I do not cram until the last minute or freak out for an exam. Mostly because, at that point, I have kept up with my reading and organized my study time before an exam so I feel that "if I don't do well on this ex...
