    RN's vs. Students @ clinicals

    NJNursing replied to NJNursing's topic in General Students

    Wow, I feel so much better than I'm not alone. And I could understand it from Christvs's point of view and if I see a nurse is completely swamped then I'll try to be as self sufficient as I can on...

    NJNursing replied to NJNursing's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I was going to go to BCC, but I live in Florence and it's a hike from here to Pemberton and I can get to MCC in about 20 minutes. I just did peds rotation at Virtua. I had my daughter there, I was...

    Questions and Concerns

    NJNursing replied to thisisme02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Nursing classes graduating in May. We started last fall with 60 students and we're down to 31 now. In one year we've lost about half. It's NOT easy. You have to work really hard at it and...

    NJNursing replied to Toby's mum's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that we were told in orientation that Capital Health (www.capitalhealth.org) was hiring new grads with an extensive orientation period and you may want to give Robert Wood Johnson a...

    ICU new grad internships in NJ?

    NJNursing replied to Toby's mum's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    well why not just get a job working in an ICU instead of an internship? I know of a few hospitals in central jersey (mercer county) who are hiring new grads, but the full orientation (including a...

    NJNursing replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    There are some hottie doctors I've seen at clinicals. I even befriended one of them and we have coffee now and again and he's single, but right now he's a new doctor, fresh out of school and boggled...

    Med-Surg Next: What's your most helpful book

    NJNursing replied to anfe's topic in General Students

    The Made Easy books are great. For clinicals I loved the Lippincott Manual for Nursing which breaks things down nice and simple and it's small enough to fit in a lab coat

    What are clinicals "really" like?

    NJNursing replied to OB_or_NICU_hopeful's topic in General Students

    What were my clinicals like when I started? In nursing I, we did basic assessments and bed baths. We were glorified butt wipers. We got a lot of the patients who were incontinent and elderly. It...

    college rankings?

    NJNursing replied to CallMePatti's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Well as a person transferring from a county college to another college, most colleges will only take a MAXIUMUM of 60 credits. With my program, we graduate with 72 credits (although I'll graduate...

    What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    NJNursing replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Then go to your credit card company and file a chargeback on the item citing fraud on the part of Reasons Medical. Then go to the BBB and file a complaint there. I've been in ebay business for 6...

    What is a "Sitter"?

    NJNursing replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    That's the same with my local hospitals - they'll pull techs off the floor or have techs sign up for OT to do 1:1's. They'll also get LPN's or trained members from the escort department do them as...

    AHH! So lost! plus schools in Middlesex County

    NJNursing replied to cherylnj81's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    First of all almost every college requires you to do prerequisites before you can start a single nursing class. I've found the hospital ADN programs to do both simultaneously. Talk to your school's...

    Requesting input please

    NJNursing replied to Reese4Dolphins's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    With the pain and malodorous urination, I'd suspect UTI there and if she's on a broad spectrum antibiotic, that can cause thrush thus the white spots in her mouth. It's basically an oral yeast...

    is this 'scope any good?

    NJNursing replied to felixfelix's topic in General Nursing

    I get a "page cannot be found" when I click on it. To me, there's nothing better than a Littman. You get what you pay

    What is a "Sitter"?

    NJNursing replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    My guess it's doing 1:1 observations with patients who are mentally ill, in restraints, combative, belligerent, or going through substance withdrawals. You basically sit there and watch them your...

    NJNursing replied to cherylnj81's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I agree with Susan, with a BA, you can do much better than CNA or LPN. CNA's, although they're a nurse's best friend on the floor, they basically do bed baths all morning, wipe butts all afternoon,...

    Getting into nursing school in NJ

    NJNursing replied to antsypantsy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess a lot of schools because of the influx of students are really closing to out of county students. If your local community college can't take you, try some of the others like The College of NJ,...

    Grants: To anyone who has ever applied for a grant

    NJNursing replied to TinaCMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well not being able to have a grant and a loan at the same time isn't entirely true. I've got a Pell grant AND a Stafford loan. And a Pell grant, although it's from the govt, it's still a grant and...
