   Gabby820 replied to Ineedhelp#'s topic in Criminal

   Hi All! Like Ineedhelp#, I am in need of some advice. I was arrested almost 10 years ago and charged with "disorderly persons" The charge was ridiculous and I honestly would have walked away from the situation if I had just kept my mouth shut. The ca...

3. Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

   Gabby820 replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

   krissy3: I'm in 2nd level now (going to 3rd level soon ) I work full-time and was able to get through level one. I think it's do-able, just prioritize. Granted, you won't have a social life, the work load is enough to keep you busy when you're not wo...

   Gabby820 replied to delabeaux's topic in General Nursing

   I have to say I'm a bit scared about finishing nursing school after reading this post and the responses. Can anyone give me an example of what is done on the floor as a nurse that we aren't learning in school? Maybe a few examples can help me, a nurs...

5. Seriously?

   Gabby820 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a nursing student and my clinical group was required to get report from the nurse before starting anything on a patient. But I know some of the other instructors gave report to the students instead. Either way I think the instructors should let ...

6. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

   Gabby820 replied to jlpsu's topic in ADN/BSN

   When a student sits for the NCLEX whether it's a student from a ADN program or BSN program, we take the SAME exam. However, the BSN program has way more theory based classes. In my ADN program, for example, we have one community theory class whereas ...

   I'm currently in a ADN program. What babyRN seems to be true. My professors are encouraging us to continue to get our BSN because there is more community theory classes that our ADN program doesn't offer. We get maybe one community class while those ...

8. Discharged and left to die ????

   Gabby820 replied to Gabby820's topic in General Nursing

   I was afraid that may be the reason. Wish someone would have given her insurance before she was diagnosed with her present cancer but since she had breast cancer in the past, every possible secondary insurance refused to cover her. Thank you for you...

9. Discharged and left to die ????

   Gabby820 replied to Gabby820's topic in General Nursing

   I understand what you mean. I've thought about how selfish my family could be by keeping her alive while she's suffering. I tears me apart because I want to keep her with me as long as I can but at the same time I can't bear to keep her alive while s...

10. Discharged and left to die ????

    Gabby820 replied to Gabby820's topic in General Nursing

    It's beyond agonizing. Her colonoscopy was within 4 years (WNL) but nothing recently. She hasn't had radiation or chemo in the last 4 months. She gets hungry but doesn't eat much. Her abdomen is severely distended from her ascites. She must feel too ...

    I will try and give as many detail as I can. I AM NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE. Only on how to handle this situation. Here goes... One year ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer (Yikes!!) She went through chemo and radiation (sur...

15. Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

    Gabby820 replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

    The HESI book didn't really prepare me (I haven't taken bio, anatomy, and chemistry in over 5 years) I purchased Mcgraw Hill Nursing Entrance Exams. I found it much more helpful. Good Luck!
