3. Getting into nursing school in NJ

   antsypantsy replied to antsypantsy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Does anyone know when MCC's pre-nursing exam actually is? I'd like to make a study timeline. I called today and the lady in charge of admissions told me they don't give out that info over the phone. Actually, I don't even think she was paying atten...

   antsypantsy replied to lovesmarissa's topic in General Nursing

   Those little antibacterial lotions from Bed, Bath, & Beyond are great for fellow nurses. Tie a ribbon around it, pair with a card- great present.

5. Drawing Blood From PICC Lines

   antsypantsy replied to rileygrl11's topic in Safety

   (preface: I'm applying to nursing schools because of my experiences as a patient) I have had maybe 6 different PICC lines in my arms over the course of 3 yrs, as well as a Hickman catheter. No one in all that time was ever brave enough to try it with...

6. Hospital Love Stories ! ! !

   I don't know the specifics, but my RN aunt fell in love with and married one of her patients. He had polio as a child, and now they've been married about 35+ years. So cute.

   antsypantsy replied to antsypantsy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yep, I went-- I was misinformed. I read the article on NJ nurses on the front pages of this site-- it told me that MCC doesn't take out-of-county students, but the truth is that they *strongly* prefer in-county residents. In other words, in-county re...

   MCC isn't taking out of county nursing students anymore because of the volume of applicants, and the Pharm tech program at RVCC is with the corporate & continuing education department and they will take out of county people. Sadly, I can't do the...

   Thanks! I'm right in Middlesex county, but right on the line of Somerset county. I was looking into RVCCs program. That's where I plan on taking the 10-wk Pharm Tech course.

10. Getting into nursing school in NJ

    antsypantsy replied to antsypantsy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in Middlesex county, and I haven't applied to anywhere else--yet. I work in Newark right now, but I really don't want to "live" there with work and school. It's really odd that to get into MCCs program, you have to leave it up to chance, basical...

    Excellent advice, thank you! I probably wouldn't have thought to ask that.

    Hi there, I hear these horror stories about waitlists for nursing schools in NJ (did you see the one on the front page of the site?? YIKES!!). I live in central NJ, and I really want to be a nurse. I have an appointment to speak to someone at MCC nex...
