    CCBC Spring 2020 Cohort

    BagelBomber replied to Ughnamesarehard's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have bought every book for CCBC on Amazon, and they've come with access codes. I rented the ones I used for my ATB program, but bought the CCBC books since I may use them to study for

    CCBC Spring 2020 Cohort

    BagelBomber replied to Ughnamesarehard's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think "use" is a strong word, but I have cited mine as a reference when writing papers and such throughout the program. There are also a few charts and tables in there that are

    It should be distributed directly to the school, with whatever is left over being deposited into your bank account. I had to link my bank with CCBC before the refund could be deposited, but it's super...

    CCBC Spring 2020 Cohort

    BagelBomber replied to Ughnamesarehard's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm entering my final semester (FINALLY) of the evening/weekend program. We started with 41 people- as of right now we have 16. I think it's common in most programs for people to either fail a class...

    School + Work?

    BagelBomber replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've worked full-time throughout nursing school as a single parent (set to graduate in May). Time management and organization are key. The only hiccup you may run into working night shift is clinicals...

    Was RN school easy for you?

    BagelBomber replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    But actually...this is so true. My last semester for ADN starts in January, and then I'll be finishing up the BSN in December of next year and I am OVER nursing school. Over.

    Hi, guys! I just finished my third semester of the evening/weekend program at the Essex campus (May 2020 is the light at the end of the tunnel) and I'm so excited for the journey you're all going to...

    Was RN school easy for you?

    BagelBomber replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    I have my final next week- and then I enter my final semester of nursing school. I'm a single mom working full-time and attending school full-time. Would I say nursing school is "easy"? ...no....

    CCBC FALL 2019

    BagelBomber replied to AlyMick's topic in School, College Programs

    It depends on what program you're in. I'm in the evening/weekend program and our first semester looked like this: Tu/Th- Fundamentals of Nursing 6-9; lab will be either Saturday or Sunday for the...

    Is your nursing program this disorganized?

    BagelBomber replied to themurse's topic in General Students

    Yikers. While exams being difficult because of question style versus content is the norm for me, as is multiple instructors for one class- I certainly hope the extreme to which your program has taken...

    I think I’m going to fail Skills help!!!

    BagelBomber replied to Bleblenurs18's topic in General Students

    When you say "skills exam," do you mean actual written tests specifically for nursing skills or do you mean exams in a class like Health Assessment or Funds? If they're for a class and the exams...

    Single Mom in Nursing School

    BagelBomber replied to futurenurse06's topic in General Students

    I can't speak to being in school with a toddler, as I have an eleven year old, but I am a single mom and I'm working full-time through nursing school. 1. I personally think 3-4 hours of studying each...

    Thinking of Quitting Nursing School

    BagelBomber replied to nstudent2019's topic in General Students

    I graduate from my program in May (provided I pass everything up to that point haha). I am a single parent of an 11 year old and work full-time, with lectures taking place twice (possibly three times)...

    Nursing hospital situations

    BagelBomber replied to SummerOlaf's topic in General Students

    I absolutely understand where you're coming from, but I view nursing as the front-lines in making people feel better. We are the face they consistently see, and we can advocate for their needs. In...

    Clinical

    BagelBomber replied to nursingstudent501235's topic in General Students

    I don't know what your program uses to evaluate for clinical, and I don't know how your program determines the pass/fail aspect- but it sounds like the instructor basically gave you an...

    1st Sem. Nursing student: Shaking in my scrubs

    BagelBomber replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    ^^^ yes. I'm a bit of an obnoxious note-taker during clinical because we don't have actual access to hospital computer systems, so I have both. But that foldable clipboard is great for carrying around...

    1st Sem. Nursing student: Shaking in my scrubs

    BagelBomber replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    1. Your planner is your best friend. 2. You need to sleep, keep hydrated and eat. 3. Know what kind of learner you are and study based on that information. 4. Support is important. I am not a social...

    BagelBomber replied to cofmgf6's topic in General Students

    I'm about to start my last year of nursing school. I've been working full-time throughout my education journey and am also a single parent, so cutting hours or not working simply was not an option for...

    Anxious About Clinicals

    BagelBomber replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    THIS! So. Much. This. In my last semester, there was a particular nurse that made it very clear to me I "missed report" and did not give me any information on my assigned patient. I was embarrassed...

    Anxious About Clinicals

    BagelBomber replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    I'm entering my final year this semester, and I can COMPLETELY understand being nervous about clinicals. I'm a very introverted person and was dreading being "put on the spot" by the staff or my...
