Holy Name Hospita has a diploma program for RN's and LPN's. You should apply soon, they may have the application on their website, if not - they can mail one to you. When I applied there - they still required interviews. That was in 2006. The cos...

Many times we get our pt information when we arrive at clinicals, and get report along with the staff nurse. The explanation we rec'd was due to relatively short hospital stays - getting your patient assignment early would most likely result in tha...

Great!! A wonderful start to the new year!!

FIND ANOTHER REFERENCE NOW! I had this happen to me, and I never heard from that professor and it ended up too late, and had to wait a year. I feel like that one persons lack of follow through put my life on hold for a year.

We had a different book for Fundamentals but for the Fundamentals and study guide, calculate with confidence, pharmacology, fundamentals success, labs book, I paid 365. (approx) Don't remember what I paid for Physicall Assessment. I also don't remem...

I have the Littman Classic, and it works fine. However - I don't know if it works for that strange hearing disorder "tuneroutitis". Don't go too crazy - you won't need top of the line for school. The classic should be fine - but like I said, many...

You will need to purchase a steth separate from the kit - it's not in there. Belles has steth for around $25, you don't have to spend more. Unless you want a better one. I have a hearing issue when there is background noise - so I bought a differe...

This was the procedure when I was accepted into the day program: For the unforms - go to Belles in Paterson. The address is on the paper. This way you can try them on, and if any adjustments need to be made, they will make them (hemming, etc) You ...

You will go Monday thru Thursday nights. There are 2 sections (601 and 602) Check your PM - I sent you the 601 schedule, but there was no room for 602. Of course, it is subject to change. See how tight the schedule is - that's why students enrolled i...

Yep, need to do all of that - but get your background check started right away. If that is not back you will not be able to register. There are usually 2 sections sthat start each semester - if you have a friend in one, you can try to pick together...

Congrats DaddyO :yeah:

Congratulations!!! I'll be in level 4 when you're in level 1 - but maybe I'll see you in the hallway:nurse:

Cinqui I am already in the program - but just wanted to wish you luck. There are a couple people on all nurses waiting to hear from BCC, and a friend of mine (not on all nurses) is also waiting to hear. I believe you guys will hear this week. Good...

Good luck Monday. Let us know what happens.

It is possible they meant you were not invited to test. The test has not been administered yet. Not all who apply get invited to test. Don't give up - if you can attend school in the daytime, then reapply for the day program in January.

Health insurance, student nurse malpractice insurance, and CPR (but not regular CPR, through the Red Cross it is called Professional Rescuer) are all required once you enter the nursing program. I am not in the evening program, so I am not sure of ...

That sample test is pretty much as I remember the test being. As for number of questions, I really don't remember - I took the test in the Spring of 07, for Fall 07 start date. If it has been that long since you have taken a math class, and you ha...

I reviewed algebra (from the algebra class I took at Bergen). I also reviewed some writing skills, basically how to write an essay, the opening statement, the summary, how to make it flow. I did not use any accuplacer prep books. Try not get too w...

I am already in the program, but a friend of mine who just applied did not get in - she scored an 86 on the test. She told me the cut off was a 95%. It's a very competitive program. I am surprised they are dropping the GPA requirement, as it is th...

That stinks..... I have some stuff from my instructor saved - it's more like an overview - if you want it - pm me with your email. I have stuff on blood vessels, circulation, and the heart.

Not a probelm...

Personally, I would not email about a grade. He said you could email him if you were to be absent. That is a different. Imagine if the professor has 2 classes, each with 20 students, that is 40 emails if everyone wants their grade early. Most pro...

Wow, that is a lot to think about. I have never heard of the physical violence (or threats of same) before. That is scary. Thanks for the specific details. I see there is a need for nurse advocates in several areas (safety and work environment to...

So, TheCommuter, what is a nursing student to do? Be an activist - okay -tell me what the issues are specifically, so I can research them (being a student, I do not have first hand knowledge of the issues). Then I can make up my mind. I have no pro...
