    Hackensack, JFK Med Center, RW Johnson Hospitals

    NJNursing replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I work at a different RWJ hospital, but they're very pro new grads. They received over 100 applications for their 20 nursing internships (which I'm thrilled to have one of). The nurses love it there...

    Please help me

    NJNursing replied to RNKay31's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've never head of RACE or ARCE being on ANY Nclex. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The hospitals I've been to all use RACE and it varies state to

    Is it TRUE SMALL LETTER PASS, BIG LETTER FAIL?

    NJNursing replied to grace,joy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Suzanne. I've heard both from different states where the big envelope has everything in it and avoids fold lines and the small envelope is a 'sorry to inform you...' letter. I've also...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Well I think she should be both - punished and treated. She does need help. There's no denying that. She's needed help all along. But I don't think that in all cases (well other than...

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, forget I ever said that. It was completely misconstued since then and it's just too difficult to continue to try to elaborate when it's coming out all wrong. I just find it highly suspicious that...

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Firstly, have you been to our Forensic Center for the Criminally Insane? My guess would be no. It's decorated beautifully, everyone has private rooms (yes, it's for safety, I know), there are...

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    NJNursing replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    These stories are amazing and more than one has sent chills up my arm. Ever see the show on CBS - the Ghost Whisperer? It basically has the same philosophy as you said that Sylvia Brown

    Putting RN on license plate???

    NJNursing replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I can't believe the overwhelming paranoia I'm reading. I really had no idea people felt this way. Perhaps I'm sheltered living in NJ. We're getting RN plates soon and I'll be one of the first in...

    How many nurses take antidepressants or antianxiety medication?

    NJNursing replied to Attheana's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Add me to the list. I've been battling depression since my rough teen years and about 4, 5 years ago I was diagnosed with GAD as well. I take Zoloft and Wellbutrin in combo to battle it out. They...

    How long for licenses?

    NJNursing replied to NJNursing's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Update: My friend went up to Newark. They said she didn't fill out the criminal background portion of her application and that they sent her out a blank sheet 3 times (which she never got and her...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm, what I'm really trying to say isn't conveying well. Such is the downside of message boards. I could see if she was having a psychotic moment and killed one child. But why did not rational...

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot presume to think that I'm not empathetic or caring towards my patients. This is COMPLETELY different. I'm going into maternity. I've had my own bouts with depression and anxiety - but I...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    NJNursing replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I never said she wasn't psychotic. You might want to re-read my first paragraph there. Rusty has said in many interviews/reports that he sensed even after the first child that she just wasn't...

    Wow 25 pages of replies. I haven't read through most of them, but here's my $.02 anyway. Andrea Yates, mental illness or not, makes me sick to the point of no return. I could see if she was...

    Nursing Student Divorce Rate?

    NJNursing replied to ibmaryann's topic in General Students

    lol, well with 'younger generations' I was thinking like 40 and younger. :chuckle I'm mixed on the subject. I'm glad that men/women have the freedom to not have to tolerate abhorrent behavior by a...

    NJNursing replied to cheripa's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean school orientation? I just wore what I'd wear any regular day, but certainly not sloppy looking. If you mean hospital orientation for a job - we were told business attire and to 'dress to...
