   Thanks for your response. I want sure how career ladders work. Do you get the next level in a career ladders as a result of your manager giving it to you, or do you apply for it?

2. Typical pay raises progression

   Ughnamesarehard posted a topic in Career Support

   Hi everyone, I was a little curious as to what the pay raise progression is like as a nurse? (I'm starting nursing school in the spring, and want to be a nurse regardless of the pay). I was just a bit curious as to how it compares to my current posit...

   I was in the hybrid program, but decided to transfer to the in-person program for various reasons. We started with around 25 to 30 people I think, and lost a few in the first 3 - 4 weeks. Some people thought it'd be completely online- but we were at ...

   To all of the Essex Day people, have they registered you for classes yet? I don't see anything registered in Simon for spring yet.

   I know it was used for the Catonsville Hybrid program last semester. Not sure about future semesters or the day program though.

   I saw something in the Essex Dosage course announcement section that said Examplify will reset for the next semester sometime on or after Dec. 31st. Maybe it will work after that day to sign up hopefully.

   They have some info about Examsoft in the Student Nurse Connection on Blackboard. Examsoft is made by the company Examplify... that confused me a ton because people kept referring to it by two different names, but its just one program. I'm sure they'...

    I was in that cohort! I totally get the overwhelmed feeling you had, I felt very lost the entire time. I did end up passing my exams up until the point that I withdrew, but many other people failed and had to go to mandatory tutoring. I think what he...

    Do we have to attend all 3 orientations, or do we choose one date? (Also, I got into Essex day, yay!).

    This was for the online program, and some of these were the"recommended" books. I'm not sure exactly where everyone will start, but most of our work was done in the fundamentals book and the med-surg book. We had to be ready to take a dosage exam abo...

    We used almost every single textbook! Some of them are reference books though, like your lab test manual and pharmaceutical meds manual. It's a TON of reading and studying, so when they give you "optional" textbook readings at orientation that you ca...

    I've attached a screenshot of the dosage book info from the Catonsville campus Ccbc bookstore; I'm not sure if Essex has a different one. It's "Dosage Calculations" by Gloria Pickar, 9th edition.

    Yes, you do, however many of the books have an "e-book" version that you can buy that is often less expensive than the hard copy. For example many of our books are published by Elsevier, so you can go to the Elsevier website and buy the e-book versio...
