1. Bloomfield College Nursing

   Eponine replied to jessie25's topic in New Jersey

   You need to have all of your prereqs done by the NLN testing date in July. If you finish your prereqs by then and pass the NLN exam with a high enough score, you should get the call accepting you into the nursing division a few weeks later. There are...

3. how do you get accepted to pre-nursing at bloomfield?

   Eponine replied to lauren405's topic in New Jersey

   For the school itself: The parking is a nightmare if you are a commuter. The computers are archaic and the school randomly decides to stop providing computer paper for the printer, and instructors tell you to bring your own. That's assuming the print...

4. how do you get accepted to pre-nursing at bloomfield?

   Eponine replied to lauren405's topic in New Jersey

   You are already prenursing if you declared it on your application. It's only after you finish your pre-reqs, take the NLN exam, and score high enough to be accepted into the program that you're considered a nursing student. You can take the entrance ...

5. Depakote dosing

   Eponine posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi all. I have a case study due on a 48 year old African American male who weighs 240 pounds. He is on various medications, including Depakote for migraines. The order states: divalproex sodium (Depakote) 15mg/kg/daily PO. I tried to figure the dose ...

6. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

   Eponine replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

   I have one now. In addition to being my lecture professor, she is my CI. She is critical of every move I make. If I speak up during our wrap up session after clinicals, I'm talking to other students. If I don't speak up, I'm not being an active part...

7. Bloomfield College

   Eponine replied to angiegrl1990's topic in New Jersey

   I go there too. I didn't have the problems you have, but I do wish I had looked into it more before deciding to attend.

8. Hey me too!

   Eponine replied to thenameismac's topic in General Students

   If you are worried about noise, try something like a snack bag of fresh sliced peaches, raisins/dried fruit, or string cheese. Easy to eat, and quiet too!

9. Nursing Students Approaching Their Second Semester Nursing Students!!

   Eponine replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

   I need to work on my time management. I spent way too much time procrastinating last semester which led to things piling up which led to me being a giant ball of anxiety around exam time. And I need to force myself to remember that watching House doe...

10. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    Eponine replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    If a patient has trouble breathing due to second-hand smoke - whether it's because s/he has to walk through a cloud of smoke to get inside or because the nurse recently took a smoke break - the studies are irrelevant. Saying, "Hey, studies X Y and Z ...

11. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    Eponine replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Sometimes. I'm only a first year nursing student, but so far I don't find the content hard. I actually enjoy the content and reading my textbooks. I just hate the way the classes are taught, the ridiculous competition between the students, and the BS...

12. Appropriate or no?

    Eponine posted a topic in Student Assist

    The end of my first semester as a nursing student is rapidly approaching, and I am torn on an idea I have. This semester has been unbelievably stressful due to health problems of my own, health problems in my family, and other personal issues. My pro...

13. Anyone else hate group projects?

    Eponine replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    YES!! I absolutely hate group work and group activities. In group work, there is always someone who doesn't do their share. And in one of my classes now, 75-80% of class time is dedicated to "group discussions." Which translates to listening to my cl...

14. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Eponine replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    1: Screw you. Really. You are a horrible professor, and it is obvious to all of us that you don't care if we learn. Also, you can't talk to us like we're four years old, then turn around and tell us we're college students and need to learn to think. ...

15. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    Eponine replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes, nursing schools will likely judge you because of the F's. There is still hope, however. A strong essay will help, as will an interview if the schools you are looking into require this. If the schools do not require an interview, you can try to a...
