Classes start September 5th for us...Had orientation Aug. 21st. Just a lil more than a week to go - many mixed feelings kicking in. All I know is that I need to make the best out of Labor Day weekend! lol

I was just accepted into Bergenn CC's Nursing Day program for Fall 07. I was just wondering about a few things, so anybody that has been or is currently in their program your help would be greatly appreciated. So I know there is an orientation late...

Maybe eBay or something?? Not sure...Got my Palm TX there for $200, looking to get a 4GB card now...I'm actually gonna order my programs now from Skyscape - I'm sure they're all around the same price no matter where u get it but always heard good thi...

I decided to get the Palm TX...ordered it off eBay brand new for a pretty good price, hope it comes tomorrow and hope there's nothing wrong with it. Looking to order some accessories and a memory card soon...and the programs from Skyscape sometime t...

Ok, well it looks like I'll start printing the outlines and handbook. Yea, I jus orderer a PDA, should be getting it tomorrow...can't wait. Still have to order the programs and some accessories. Gotta get a stethoscope, some shoes, and order that s...

Well there's only a little bit more than 3 weeks until classes start. I got a good amount done this past week. I was just wondering if any of you printed out the handbook or will we be receiving a copy at Orientation?

I just went to the uniform store today...no alteration was needed, I bought the coat and the watch they carried...They said they're expecting the shipment for Bergen within the next couple weeks. Held off on the stethoscope and supplies though, probl...

Not very far haha...I still have to make a trip to the uniform store, get my results for my immunizations and everything and hand that to health services, get the insurance, order the supply kit along with a stethoscope, and still need to order the r...

Has anybody been able to download the Nursing Handbook yet? It looks like they're working on the course outlines and everything...I'm just making sure I'm not typing the wrong password or something. Also, how far along are you in getting everything...

Good to hear that they allow PDAs...but only some of the hospitals? Could you tell us which hospitals BCC's program is affiliated with? Is everybody assigned or can you choose?

I will definitely try to make it there sometime this upcoming week.

Yea, I read the benefits, the NJ site has a few more listed...Yea, the only thing with the malpractice insurance is that you won't get a discount until you graduate in which you get 50% off the first year. I do like the fact that you get discounts of...

That definitely clears things up...Thank you! :) I'm very tempted to join now though haha, would like to receive all the benefits and stuff already.

Oh, ok...by the looks of the description in the course catalog it seems like the school is just the New Jersey state chapter of the NSNA. I know when you join the National, you're automatically enrolled in your state's as well...So I wasn't sure if I...

I was just wondering are any of you planning on joining the National Student Nurse's Assoc.? (NSNA) I'm very interesting in joining it and heard it is very beneficial and well worth it, they also seem to have discounts that would be nice to use for b...

Ok, so I'm assuming all the major supplies we need are the kit, BP cuff, and stethoscope?

Bump :) Anybody??

So have you ordered a stethoscope yet? I know there's an option of getting one at the uniform place, looking to go there for fitting this week hopefully. I would like to get a Littman. So we need both a stethoscope AND a BP cuff? I wish they would ...

Yea, I have 3 cards for each type of certification...I showed them to the guy that cleared the background checks and he said they should be okay...but I want to make sure and that means waiting until Carole Baxter gets back on the 16th..so I dunno if...

Also, I was just wondering something else...On the letter it talks about Orienation for the Class of 2010...Is that just general and it depends what you have done already? Because I thought I would be done by Spring semester of 2009...I only have the...

Yea, I actually just got back from the school...running around for a good hour and a half...Well they cleard my background check and I was finally able to register...I did all the 001s...I actually liked the 002 schedule better but after a visit to r...

Thanks! Good to hear :)

I did it online Tuesday night, the 19th, and just got the e-mail Thursday the 28th...So it took a week and it was only for New Jersey, thought they would do New York since I went to school there but it did not come up. Yea, I'm assuming since you ...

Yea, I'm also wondering the same things about Hackensack...I'm about to start an AAS Nursing program in the Fall, but that is one of the hospitals I would love to work at, maybe Valley as well. Also, is it true that they only hire BSN nurses??

Yea, Lori62 pretty much covered it...My background check was emailed to me already, so I'm assuming the school got a copy already...I can't register yet because I still have to hand in all my physical/immunization stuff to Health Services.
