Hello, I plan on attending TESC shortly wanted to start a new post because all others seemed dated. I'm throwing a lot of questions out there to hopefully help others as well as myself. Any advise on the program? What are some of the better instru...

Hudson county, just got hired. $30.96+3.50 night diff. No weekend rates.

Hello, i am an RN from a diploma nursing school with an AS. I am also pursuing my BSN. As for the job market in NJ. It is very difficult. I would say that I receive a 0.5% response from submitting resumes that in turn lead to interviews. I am wo...

Hey no worries bro. Just be secure in yourself. I'm not sure what type of comments your getting. But nursing is an awesome field. I know where your coming from. I was a former Marine (0311/infantry/ Oorah!) a field dominated by hardcore crazy ag...

Hi mjishernameo, thanks for the advise. As a current student, do you have any advice. What class are you taking?

Anyone using the ARNG tuition waiver? Ive tried contacting the veterans liaison for about a week now with no luck. The website mentions to fax all supporting docs to the registrars office because tuition waivers require additional processing. What...

Also FYI , there are APA websites that will format your papers as you create them. Big help if you haven't written a research paper for nursing in awhile.

Hello I'm hoping to take Nsg Informatics asap. Did you purchase the required books from the syllabus? Are they helpful? If you are done are you willing to sell them?

Hello, what type of an RN school are you looking for? ADN,BSN, accelerated BSN or diploma.

The prior responses appear to address many issues you will be facing. If you have prior nursing experience then 60k Is definitely a low compensation. Especially if you have to sort out existing issues. Management poisons seldom have 40hr work sche...

Amazing I am noticing a trend in people getting interviews and hires. I graduated received my RN license last October. I applied to numerous positions throughout the state of nj and received one call back. Unfortunately they required experience and...

Hello, I know how you feel. It's a tough situation to be in. Do your best, ask questions, and be confident. Don't second guess yourself. You will be fine.

I have to agree with Tyler77. Just click on the region tab and randomly select a state. Its like someone just copied and pasted the same remarks; hiring freeze, no experience, poor economy, etc. I doubt any one or collective group of people in the...

It's a sad shift for the profession of nursing, new grads, and health care. It's funny how there are so many predictions about nursing shortages in the near future. Yet, we continue to prolong hiring new nurses and even outsource nurses from other ...

Hello All,Just wanted to let everyone know the trick worked! I was pessimistic until the end. But I passed and the trick seems valid (see my previous post on pg480).

Hello, I took my nclex Monday 9/26 in NYC but I'm applying to NJ BON. I started my exam at 8am and finished 75 questions around 11am. I tried the trick 6 hrs after my exam and received the infamous message. I waited til the status said delivered or...

Semper Fi, Nursing school is definitely mentally challenging. But, there are alot of factors to consider. Are you going to NS full time, working full time and have a family? If so then NS is definitely harder. However, ask a nursing student to w...

Thanks for the story. I am experiencing my own hurdles and recently I am taking a semester over. Sometimes I am not sure what direction I'm headed but uplifting stories like this are helpful.

Hey, I know exactly how you feel. I think if its feasable option I would try to continue in the same program. At least you won't lose out on any credits. I think you realize what you have to do so just try to stay positive and plan for the best. I...

Hello, I am a nursing student hopefully graduating in June 2008 in a cooperative RN program. I was wondering if anyone out there has any info about joining the Army Nurse Corps. Any general idea would be helpful. I am a former Marine and currently...

No worries - I think the trend is slowly changing. It's unfortunate that men are associated with the gender role stereotype associated with the title nurse. Maybe, if we create a name for male nurses other than murses (always associated with Gaylo...

Hello, Did you look into Christ Hospital School of Nursing, Jersey City NJ? They offer a cooperative program with Hudson County Community College and offer morning and evening class. They have a high NCLEX passing average based on the last 5years a...

Hello, I think an alternative to bedside nursing would be to look in sales of medical equipment. For example if you look under the www.OSIAI site you should find open positions nationally for Surgical Specialist. Individuals in this field support ...
