1. NNP Outlook

   jocy_anne replied to guest769224's topic in NP

   I've been inactive on here for a while and I know this thread is old, but as a NICU nurse currently in the middle of a NNP program, it was great to stumble upon this thread! Sometimes it's discouraging when I mention to other nurses that I'm in NNP s...

2. New Grad NICU Residency Program

   jocy_anne replied to cguz's topic in NICU

   I'm not sure what part of New Jersey you are moving to, but I live in South Jersey (20 minutes outside of Philadelphia) and work in the N/IICU (Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I was hired into the resid...

   This is an excellent article. Thanks for putting this together! Hopefully people can stop freaking out now. :-)

4. kaplan - worth it?

   jocy_anne replied to SN2014's topic in NCLEX

   Just as RNsRWe stated, Kaplan focuses a lot on the strategy. It helped me a lot because that's where I needed to focus my attention. However, I also went to a school where Kaplan was required and was part of our curriculum, so I'm not sure I would ha...

5. Thomas Jefferson Pre-licensure BSN 2014

   jocy_anne replied to cookie_moster's topic in Pennsylvania

   I just graduated from TJU (with Dibbadee, actually) and was in the APW program (I still took most of my classes with the Traditional students). I second everything Dibbadee said and know that you will all have a great experience! Good luck!!! :-)

6. Thomas Jefferson University APW/FACT

   jocy_anne replied to zfishoff's topic in Pennsylvania

   Not sure if you're still looking into TJU, but I just graduated from the APW program on May 28th. FACT and APW are essentially the same program, with the only difference being the length of time it takes to complete (FACT is one year straight throug...

   Congrats to everyone for passing! I, too, passed my first semester and am so happy!!! It was long and huge adjustment, but I can't wait to start the next semester on Jan 14th. I'm doing OB for the first half of the semester, and then a med-surg te...

8. Fall 2012 - Pharmacology

   jocy_anne replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm about to start my first semester of Nursing school on Tuesday, and even though I'm not technically a pre-nursing student anymore, I will be taking Pharmacology. I actually have to take a Pharm class all 4 semesters. My Pharm class this semester...

9. Camden county college

   jocy_anne replied to Lala potential LPN's topic in New Jersey

   I'd say the Blackwood campus is probably at least 25-30 minutes away from the Camden campus, but I've never traveled between the two, so maybe it's not quite that long. I'm not sure if you've ever driven down Route 42, but the Blackwood campus is ri...

11. Direct entry Msn for non-nursing BA?

    jocy_anne replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Students

    I believe the program I am starting in September is considered a DE program, although from reading the posts here, it might not be a "standard" DE program. My school offers 2 DE programs for non-nursing majors. One program allows you to complete your...

    jocy_anne replied to dannyb358's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just spent a ton of money getting my books for the first semester of Nursing school. But I have to agree with Saysfaa about watching the trends on Amazon and other places. My school bookstore was selling my Med Calc book for $103. I found the sa...

13. No More Prereqs!!!

    jocy_anne replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow...the intent of my post was to celebrate one small milestone in my journey with those who could relate or those who will be in the same situation soon. Chill. But since you brought it up, I can't help but respond: I am fully aware of the curren...

14. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY?!!!

    jocy_anne replied to KAC123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I start an ABSN-MSN program in the Fall and have to take 4 semesters of Pathophysiology (and 4 semesters of Pharmacology, as a matter of fact). I'm hoping that means it will give me a lot of time to digest the information, but I may be wrong about t...
