1. Single Volume or 2-Volume Textbook?

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in General Students

   Thank you, everyone! After reading your comments, I decided to take the 2-volume plunge. :) I thought about it for a bit, and it makes more sense to have the two textbooks, which provides the option to carry/use one or both of them, should the need a...

2. Single Volume or 2-Volume Textbook?

   CCMNursingStudent posted a topic in General Students

   Would you guys go with a 2-volume text, if it was available? Our required med-surg book for the upcoming semester has the option of a two volume text, but since we haven't gotten our syllabus yet, I'm not sure if there will be a lot of "jumping aroun...

3. County College of Morris (CCM) Nursing Students - Fall '12

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

   I went with CM&F Group. It was in our packet to choose from, along with NSO, but it ended up being about $26 versus NSO's $37, so I went with it. :) If you want to check it out, go to the link below, click "PROCEED ONLINE TO CHECK RATES," and it'...

4. County College of Morris (CCM) Nursing Students - Fall '12

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

   When we had orientation, our packets included a piece of paper that started with "Student Name: DOE, JANE," and it listed Fall 2012 courses. Towards the bottom of that paper, all the sections were listed, with their corresponding hospitals, and the o...

5. Out of these 4 drug handbooks, which one should I get?

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, Brillo! :) I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier, but it goes to show you what an incredible resource this site is. For some reason, I didn't even think about how valuable an "old edition" text can be, especially when you consider...

6. Holder vs. Neck Draping for Littmann Cardio III?

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thank you! :) I'm definitely going to look into the Batclip; just the name sounds interesting. I'm intrigued!

7. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

   CCMNursingStudent replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

   If only this were possible, I would be on board 100%. :) My evil eye glare would follow and guilt the steth snatcher, no matter what angle they were looking at me from.

8. Out of these 4 drug handbooks, which one should I get?

   CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for all of the input! I know this subject probably gets rehashed every time a new nursing class starts up, but I appreciate all of you taking out the time to reply to me like it was the first time you heard the question! :) I ended up going...

9. Holder vs. Neck Draping for Littmann Cardio III?

   CCMNursingStudent posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I got a Cardio III for my upcoming semester, and I wanted to know if anyone else on here, preferably with the same model, used a clip or holder rather than neck draping (with or without a sleeve). From what I've gathered, wearing a steth around your ...

    Thanks for that information! I'm only familiar with RT.80 traffic pattern. it's a good 40 minutes from CCM, but more/less depending on where you are coming from. I have yet to find a fellow classmate. lol I ran into a couple of people that are goi...

    CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

    Hi, again! I'm really happy to hear that the department did an orientation for the both of you! I'd imagine that they would want to do as much as possible to prepare you, given the short notice they gave you guys. :) You must be so excited! I'm slowi...

    CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

    Laura, I looked at your reply, and for a minute, I was elated that I finally found a person that might be in my clinical section. Then, of course, when I double-checked my paper, it turns out I'm in ********** on Wednesdays, but in *. I think my gro...

    CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

    At the orientation, they said that we really only need to purchase a stethoscope and bandage scissors, but after perusing this site, I'm probably going to purchase a couple of extra items. The clinical sites were assigned to us, along with specific d...

    CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

    THAT IS AWESOME! I am so happy for you! I know that one semester makes a big difference, assuming you would have been flexible and could have gone and done nights in the Spring, but especially if you were only planning on doing days during the Fall, ...

    CCMNursingStudent replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in New Jersey

    Hi there! :) CONGRATS!! Were you on a wait list? I'm surprised that they would notify you a week before the semester starts! Just in case you didn't purchase the fundamentals package yet, the publisher is selling the bundle directly, with free UPS sh...
