Oh my, that's not a good thing to hear. I am a new student and don't want to be unable to find a job when I am through. Can I ask where you are in Jersey? I have heard, but through word of mouth, that new grads have a harder time in South Jersey t...

Can't help you with the drug guide, I rec'd mine as part of a package deal. See you tomorrow!

Which PDA's did you guys decide on?

I printed it out. I do not think we will receive a copy - we are to review it at the orientation. I printed out the outlines also. I guess they save money by having it online for us to print. Only 10 days til Orientation!! The time is going so...

All I have left is to send in a money order for my supplies kit. It would be so much easier if they took a check - but they only want a money order or cashiers check. I just haven't had the time to stop and get a money order. ALso, still waiting ...

Can't help you with the info you need, but if you posted in the NJ section, you may someone who can.

I agree, say nothing. If she is replaced, don;t admit to knowing. I understand she is your friend, but you cannot be responsible for her employment. Be supportive, be there if she is replaced - be her friend. Anything more may cause bad feelings...

Try this site, http://www.csufresno.edu/DCG/videos/faculty/Dutra/N110A/ I do not remember who gave it to me, but it was probably someone on this list :) Lori

The course outlines are available, and I believe the handbook is also. Lori

I saw that show also, and had to tell my (non-nursing) friends that I did notthink nurses would run the show - but it makes for good TV - hey, it changed her husbands attitude. :)

Well, I am still a student, but it seems to me, if they say you "have" to have it, they cannot make you sign a contract to stay in their employment. There is no certification, it's not like you can go to anothewr job with an additional certification...

As most have stated... knowledge is power, and you are lucky to have an MD who listens. Actually, if my MD didn't listen to me, I would have to replace her; listening is part of the job. BTW - love your name 'bakpakr'

Nope, no handbook yet. I see they have done one outline, for 183. Well, I think I have almost everything done, just waiting for my uniforms which had to be altered, and I have to send in a money order to M&M for the supplies kit. I guess I will...

Ah, it sounds familiar - but I have long lost my Ubby proficiency although some of my friends still remember it well.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I understand your worry about proper clothes for a funeral, but really what matters is the memories your other shared with her grandchildren. It seems you are getting your life in order - and I am sure your mothe...

I loved ZOOM. I thought they had the coolest outfits. I still remember the address also, but only if I sing it. Thanks for the laugh.

I read the chapter through to get a general understanding. Then I read the chapter and take a lot of notes on my reading (I learn through doing, and writing is the only way I can 'do' this right now). I do this before it is started in class. I tak...

I am taking micro this fall. I almost took it over the summer, but decided not to as the summer is a faster paced program. I am also starting my first nursing semester, so I am hoping I can swing it and not get too frustrated. I will be more than...

I owned and operated a small daycare. It was very rewarding, children are fun to be around but, after all those years it was time to close down shop. I like a challenge, and I felt like I had done everything I could - and needed something more. Of...

If you call the main number - they should be able to connect you to HR, or at least give you a direct number.

We get a white pants suit - elastic waist pants, and a zip up tunic, with the school patch on the upper arm. Women can opt for the dress, but I don't think anyone does. White shoes and white socks or hose. I've never felt so bland in my life. I ...

I had my husband quiz me when I first started my prereq's, but as the semester wore on, he grew tired of it. He said it was frustrationg to him because he did not understand it, and he didn't want to. However, before he quit quizzing me, it helped ...

My classes run about 2k a semester, but add in books, uniforms, etc and it bumps up a few hundred. You also have to consider whether or not you have all your pre-req's done already. I took a year before nursing and took all my pre-req's and co-req...

Thanks for the information nj1grlcrus. Do you know if we are allowed to use PDA's for class or clinicals? Thanks - Lori

I hike and backpack whenever I can. It is exercise, stress relief, meditation, you name it. Plus, I always sleep well in the woods - I guess the fresh air and the exercise. Lori
