  1. Getting a C in Nursing

    So I am wondering does a getting a C "bone" you in regards to summer externships? From what I have found so far most places want/strongly require nothing lower than a "B" in nursing classes. Does one have a realistic shot at getting an externship wit...
  2. Do you aspirate before giving an IM deltoid injection?

    watching IM shots in the hospital whilst in clinical- I have never seen aspiration, yet when we do labs at school we have to aspirate. Thus for the school I will aspirate but in practice I wont, espically since people have linked that it is no longer...
  3. So many nursing majors in my class!

    Job market is very tough and whilst nursing is not as "guaranteed" as it use to be it is still a very solid degree to graduate with . I.e... The unemployed nursing grad is still better off than the unemployed liberal arts grad. The popularity of nurs...
  4. What do I do? CC -> University

    You can apply as many times as you want to the program, agsin rutgers only admits for the fall semster . As for how competitive tis hard to say , I know people who did not have most of the lower level nursing courses done but still got in, at the sam...
  5. What do I do? CC -> University

    Yes rutgers allows you to apply to their nursing program once you complete 24 credits, those credits can be in anything though I highly recommend taking the low level nursing courses, hip, cultural dimensions, biochemistry, stats, research in nursing...
  6. What do I do? CC -> University

    I took both anatomy and phys at Essex county college and they transferee over fine at rutgers newark. I have no clue about online courses, but cc classes should transfer with no issue. In anycase I would call up or visit the undergrad advisors and as...
  7. I got into a bsn program with a "B" gpa of 3.3 so it can be done. Of course everyone wants the A but a B won't kill you. At the same time I think I wrote a killer essay and I did have some outside experience in addition to the 3.3 , but who knows may...
  8. How many men in your cohort?

    8 lol just 8
  9. It says no exp required but up against someone with exp, 99% of the time it will go to the experienced. Now you do have the know someone who works there advantage which is huge , that might just put you over for the job. Apply, worst that happens is ...
  10. ADN.

    I would not feel ashamed, don't let the haters/negativity get to you. Whether it is BSN or ADN, getting into either program is quite a challenge. The days of ADN being guaranteed for admission because it is a community college are over. The only con...
  11. Disadvantaged not being a CNA/PCT?

    No doubt cna/pct will have an immediate advantage. But to say "well if you don't have prior cna/pct experience you better quit nursing school" is wrong. You will be brought up to speed, they will teach you. Unless your program requires you to have cn...
  12. Accelerated Programs Vs 4 year programs

    Finish prereqs and apply for both, I assume both need the prereqs anyway. What runsalot said is more or less true. Accelrated is 15 months or a it more and for 2nd degree bachelor - traditional it is usually 2-3 years as your credits from your first...
  13. Honestly, what do you think?

    Take both at the same time, they will overlap at some point
  14. How many people are in your nursing class?

    Clincal groups are about 8-10 students per group. Actual class is plaintive larger. Just counting those in my cohort I believe we are 40-60, that is not counting the many pre-nurisng students
  15. The "I will never get there" feeling

    Good that all the prereqs are done-that is one less thing to worry about. I would recommend that if you do not get in and if you can afford the time and money- look into being a CNA, PCT or some sort of hospital work. Not only will you be making mone...
