Ha ha ha! LOLOL!

Thanks for the advice, Emergency RN, and for sharing your experience. I want to go to Haiti, too, but hit dead ends with the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. Google searches proved fruitless as well. Most everything I found doing Google searche...

LMAO, "Leroy"! That's only true of ONE instructor! And are you really telling the truth when you say it's a good program? Is that just because you made it through? LOL! Just yankin' yer chain, man...

Wow. I'm shocked to hear that South Jersey supposedly has more openings than North Jersey. I graduated last year and, while I was lucky to find a hospital job, MANY of my friends STILL don't have jobs, or accepted temporary, per diem-type jobs giving...

Congratulations on your new position! If you're at all a night owl, I predict you're going to love night shift! Like a previous poster, I prefer to work my three shifts in a row, primarily because it allows me to live like a "normal" person the other...

Hi, everyone. I have a couple of questions for any Bayada nurses out there, if anyone's listening. I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance. 1. I graduated last year, May 2009, took my boards in June, and have been working on a cardiac ste...

Thank you so very, very much for this heartfelt account of your journey into hospice nursing. I am a new nurse with just six months' experience under my belt. I have so very, very much to learn. The way you described your experience working in the ho...

Just September for now. It's possible that the LPN-RN program might start in the spring, but I have no idea. Best to consult your nursing school admissions book.

Nurses get to do the coolest things! I had a blonde moment, though. LOL. I thought you were hired to "play" an "extra" nurse, like in a hospital scene in the movie. LOL! It would kinda make sense, wouldn't it? To use real nurses as extras in scenes t...

Hey, Nightwolf. While I totally admire your supportiveness of your wife, I sense that there's something she's not telling you about her reasons for not wanting to return to nursing school. Heck, she may not even be aware of the real reasons herself! ...

Thanks so much for the clarification! I must've missed something in the reading somewhere. Thanks, too, for your words of encouragement about starting right in psych. It's definitely my number one plan. You all are a great bunch of people!

Wow! What day is the interview? Best of luck to you! I am jealous! LOL!

Wow, Dolce! Sounds like you've scored an amazing interview for a new grad! I'm graduating in May, too, and really want to enter directly into psych. I'm curious as to what state you're in and where/what this hospital is! Sounds like a great place to ...

Thanks, Whispera! So you graduated at 42 and have been doing psych for 16 years with no regrets? You're my hero! LOL. I'm pretty darn sure it's for me. What types of facilities have you worked at? The place where I did clinicals is a little intimidat...

I'm just curious...as an upcoming new grad (universe willing!) in May, with a passion for psych, where would you recommend we get that critical/crucial year or two of experience? I'm not trying to be snotty -- just really concerned that I won't be ab...

Another tidbit I heard from a fellow student is, yes, safety first, but if that's not a concern in the given question, focus on which of the answers in the bank focuses on the client's feelings. It isn't always the case (which is why NCLEX test-takin...

Great topic. Like the OP, I'm very interested in going directly into psych nursing when I graduate in May. I'm a career-changer at 40 y/o so don't want to spend any more time on a med/surg floor when I am certain it's not what I want to do in the lon...

Are you kidding...don't worry about the HESI exit??? Those questions are of a completely different caliber! I equate them to the LSRN questions...outta left field! LOL on the "happy instructors" comment. Who ARE you? PM me!

LOL! Sorry! I guess I sort of imagined with a handle like that, that you were male. My bad. Did you have your midterm today, or Tuesday?

Not sure if you're looking for north, central, or south Jersey, but Rowan University (formerly Glassboro State) has a pretty decent school nurse certification program from what I hear. I just happen to live close by and know a few people who've gone ...

DIC, who ARE you? LOL! You can't be fourth semester -- we didn't have to take the HESI entrance exam, just the NET. This year's second semester students were the first ones who had to submit HESI scores... So who are you? PM me. I know MOST of the 4t...

DIC, are you for real? I'm just sort of curious. If you've got "decades" of experience, why are you in your first year of nursing school? And you have a lot of specialties? Pretty impressive for a nursing student! Not to rain on anyone's parade, but ...

Good luck to all this year's applicants, by the way! When's the deadline, and when do you guys find out?

Welcome to nursing school, no matter where you go! This is exactly how you're tested in classes, and on the HESI exit exam you have to take at the end to graduate, AND the NCLEX. I'm in my last semester at GCC nursing! Woot! Here's a little tip for y...

Thanks for your replies! Holly, do you have a link to the online HESI prep course? I have a friend I know would be interested in it in addition to me. Thanks!
