1. Mother baby nurse on Oahu

   Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Hawaii

   Thanks xj3! My husband's cousin works at Kaiser- so I think I will send my resume along to him before the move and see if I can line up an interview for when we arrive on-island. I'm thinking if HI is anything like Boston- then maybe the hospitals ...

2. Mother baby nurse on Oahu

   Jess RN posted a topic in Hawaii

   Hi- I am a new nurse I will have been in my current unit (postpartum and newborn nursery) for two years in Oct. My husband grew up in Honolulu and his family (parents, brother, uncle, cousins) live there still. We are considering moving our family...

3. Boston College Master's Entry

   Jess RN replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate

   Congrats on your acceptance! I am at BC in the Master's Entry program and I love it. I had med-surg clincals at NEMC last semester, and they were good- but I didn't get to do/see as much as I would have liked. My clincal instructor was incredible t...

4. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

   Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had graduated from undergrad in '96 and I applied to my DE programs in 04. I asked my prof who I took A&P 1 and 2 with for a ref and he did a great job. My other two refs were from the Medical Director of the hospital I volunteered at and fro...

5. NP education - a rant

   Jess RN replied to CatskillNP's topic in NP

   Thanks lilpeanut and NhavenRN for your input and for that great link to the aacn article. I guess my point in my earlier post was that I am in my DE NP program to become a nurse. When and whether I choose to work at the bedside as an RN or in an of...

6. NP education - a rant

   Jess RN replied to CatskillNP's topic in NP

   Did they have a hard time just because they lacked nursing exp or was it because those helpful, experienced nurses were giving them a hard time as well? Just because MDs can be miserable to each other during their training doesn't mean we should emul...

7. NP education - a rant

   Jess RN replied to CatskillNP's topic in NP

   See, this is the attitude that just baffles me. Why not reserve judgement and give students what they are in clinicals for- a learning experience, not a whole lot of attitude on top of that. The bottom line is that graduates of DE programs will be ...

   Hi everyone! I'm taking a research theory course this summer for my program and I will have to write a research paper in APA format for the course. What are some APA formatting software programs that people have used and like? Thanks! Jess

11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    LOL I love it! Yeah, I agree that it is probably slightly easier to get into a DE program than to get into Harvard or Princeton as an undergrad... but it's still pretty darn hard! And back me up here- getting in is easier than actually getting thr...

12. Direct-Entry Masters Program Pre-Requisites (Mass)

    Jess RN replied to pachouly's topic in Post Graduate

    Hi Becky, I took Organic Chem (a prereq for BC and darned hard to find without a qualifying prereq itself) at Curry College in Milton. My teacher Marie Turner was great. It was a summer sesson class called "Chemical Concepts" and it was basically C...

13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I only ended up taking one prereq online- (micro w/lab through ccconline) but my school (BC) had no problem accepting it. I would check with your schools (where are you applying?) before enrolling, but I bet it will be fine. BYU is an accredited sc...

    Rotavirus is the worst! My whole family (me, hubby, and our two little ones) had it last spring. Ugh. Hope you are feeling better soon! -Jess

15. Microbiology online with Lab ??

    Jess RN replied to RNinJune2007's topic in Online Learning

    ccconline has one- I took it last summer. It was really easy and it had a lab. Good luck! -Jess PS, you do have to buy your own microscope if you don't have access to one in a science lab.
