  1. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    RMK, if I understand you correctly, you are going to apply for the cohort that starts May, 2011? If so, keep a shortcut to the website on your desktop. Starting around the middle of August, check the...

  2. is NCLEX RN 4000 free online just like the 3500?

    AtomicWoman replied to stressed0ut's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Downloading software is not legal. It violates copyright laws. NCLEX 3500 is copyrighted. Not trying to accuse anyone of anything. I actually think a lot of people are unaware of this because the...

  3. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My experience tells me: absolutely not. You are going to have to work around their schedule. That's not to say you can't work, but your set hours are almost guaranteed not to fit in with your class...

  4. Bayada nursing interview

    AtomicWoman replied to Turtle08's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    How did you contact Bayada to submit an employment application? When I go to their website, all I see are the home health (vents, trachs, etc.) jobs, nothing saying new grads OK.

  5. Health South Rehab Hospital?

    AtomicWoman replied to Mulan's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thanks for that info! I'll definitely check them out

  6. Health South Rehab Hospital?

    AtomicWoman replied to Mulan's topic in Rehabilitation

    Does HS hire new grads? I am interested in rehab. medicine. All their job postings say 1 year acute care experience, etc. I didn't see any that said new grads were eligible to

  7. Too Smart for Rehab Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thank you for this thread. I graduate in May. I just finished my neuro rotation. At first, I was bummed not to be assigned to the prestigious neuro hospital; I wouldn't get to see all those people who...

  8. What's wrong with this picture?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in General Students

    OK, fellow nursing students: what's wrong with this picture, and what would your clinical instructor say to you if you did an injection like this?...

  9. What's wrong with this picture?

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    Daytonite said what I was thinking. My instructors always tell us to stabilize the syringe by holding it near the barrel/needle connection. And if I tried to give an injection without gloves, they...

  10. Tests show fall outbreak is rhinovirus, not swine flu

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not that they weren't seeing swine flu, too, but doctors at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were surprised how many tests came back positive for rhinovirus, not swine flu, in their patients that...

  11. Just spotted a new grad posting at UPenn posted today

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This was just posted today: http://pennhealth.hodesiq.com/careers/job_detail.asp?JobID=1698734&user_id= It's tele and it actually says "New Grads Welcome". Wow. :) Thought I'd pass it along, as I...

  12. Help! I think I won't pass!

    AtomicWoman replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

    The only way I have gotten good at NCLEX questions is by doing hundreds, and hundreds and hundreds of them for each subject area. I use the NCLEX 4000 CD (got it from Amazon) and the Saunders CD. Both...

  13. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    AtomicWoman replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will get the vaccine once it is available in this area. Of course, I want to protect myself against the virus. But I also think about how I would feel if I were the parents of one of the babies in...

  14. Just spotted a new grad posting at UPenn posted today

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, I noticed it had disappeared only a day or two later. They probably got an avalanche of

  15. Just spotted a new grad posting at UPenn posted today

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Are you in Pennsylvania? If so, which part?

  16. Night Shift Blues

    AtomicWoman replied to MissyRN83's topic in General Nursing

    It's concerning to hear nurses say they go to work exhausted, in a haze, etc. That's a recipe for a medication error or some other error. I feel for the people who feel they have no choice except to...

  17. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The most challenging thing is getting enough sleep, pure and simple. I'm always exhausted because there is never a time when I don't have to be doing something for nursing school, and the workload is...

  18. Metabolic Acidosis/Alkalosis question

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My instructor gave us the following question: Your patient has experienced prolonged nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. What acid base imbalance would you expect to see as a result? I'm thinking "it...

  19. UPenn Nurse Residency Program

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Anyone know if Pennsy still has their nurse residency program? And when they start taking applications for it?

  20. UPenn Nurse Residency Program

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Would you mind sharing the name of the nursing recruiter? I don't think we are allowed to post emails or phone numbers of recruiters.

  21. Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

    AtomicWoman replied to sirI's topic in Nursing Career

    I have student coverage through NSO. For $30 per year, I'd be nuts NOT to have it! After hearing how cheap it was quite a few of my fellow students purchased it as well. I think they owe me a...

  22. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yikes! Where is there a 10-month program? Our 12-month program is ridiculous enough! :) Drexel U. always advertised their 11-month program as the shortest in the nation, so I am curious where there is...

  23. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am about to start my second semester of a 12-month accelerated program. It's hard to fathom how much I've learned in the last 3 months. :) But no one gave me a clue about the extreme physical...

    I was wondering about that,
