1. Should you bring a paper with questions to interview?

   rockbeatsscissors replied to wonderwoman92's topic in Job Hunt

   I don't think 10 is too many. You might find over the course of your interview that some of your questions are answered without even having to ask them. Make sure to leave space to jot down answers/notes and any follow up questions that you might get...

2. Periop Interview Questions

   rockbeatsscissors replied to qrkid's topic in Operating Room

   Hi there, I recently went through the same interviewing process and will be starting a perioperative residency shortly. DanielOR_RN covered a lot of the same questions I received. One of the first questions the panel asked was what I thought a periop...

   The work is hard, but it's not impossible either. The most important thing is you find what works for you and stick with it. What works for you and what works for the people on either side of you in lecture might not be the same, and that's ok! Here ...

4. 2016 CCP Nursing Program

   rockbeatsscissors replied to kase's topic in Pennsylvania

   You're welcome! There really wasn't much variety in terms of class times. Lecture was on Monday and Tuesdays at 8am. The schedule was divided into two week blocks, so for example, one week classroom A would be focusing on one subject, while classroom...

   rockbeatsscissors replied to kase's topic in Pennsylvania

   I graduated, passed my boards, immediately entered an RN-BSN program for one year, and now I'm about to start a new grad residency program at a major hospital/health system in the area. I wish I had been able to work right out of the CCP programs, bu...

   rockbeatsscissors replied to kase's topic in Pennsylvania

   Hey all, Congratulations on getting in! CCP was a great program and I'm glad I went there for my initial nursing education. Unless they've changed a ton since I started (in 2012) you'll probably get more information about orientation later in the spr...

7. What helped you in your first year / semester of nursing school?

   rockbeatsscissors replied to Cheripk's topic in General Students

   The best piece of advice I can give that I don't think I've seen mentioned on here is pay attention to e-mails and online announcements from your instructors/department. From the start the instructors in my program were very clear about using e-mail ...

   We must learn IV stuff at some point. It looks like weeks 8 and 9 are when we cover that in lab. We might not do all of it in the first semester, but I don't see how we would get away with never doing it.

   rockbeatsscissors replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania

   So far so good. I like my teachers so far and the material, but getting used to the reading load is taking some getting used to. All my organization is starting to pay off, though. I take back my asking how you saw! I just checked the list. I'm also ...

    rockbeatsscissors replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania

    I hope everyone had a good first day. I realize I don't know if any of you are in my lecture or seminar section or not. Anyway! Speaking of seminar, is it just me or is the information we need for that not on the webstudy site? It was last night, b...

    rockbeatsscissors replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm also nervous and exited for tomorrow! Everything just got real. I was also able to access the webstudy material(not sure if it's because I've already taken an online class or if it works for everyone.) They have more information and reading lists...

    I sent it...but you'll get two e-mails from me. It didn't send with the attachment when I tried to forward it the first time.

    Also, just a heads up I scanned in the study guide for the Potter and Perry readings on my ipad. If anyone wants a copy I can e-mail them to you.

    I just came on here to post that. I don't know what made me check again, but I'm glad I did.

    rockbeatsscissors replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania

    I know we'll have to do the reading eventually, so when it gets done isn't really my issue. I'm just more concerned with the fact that they didn't make an announcement or note that they amended the reading list. Oh well. On a side note, I ended up ge...
