  1. Clinical instructor is threating to fail me!!! please help ASAP

    AtomicWoman replied to luvemrare's topic in General Students

    My gosh, what nonsense. Is she so stubborn that she can't admit she made a mistake and move on? I don't know what to tell you, especially since you have already gone "up the chain". Probably the best...

    One person asked about jobs, and it was kind of danced around -- "we're focused on passing the NCLEX first" (I'm paraphrasing). I spoke with 3 FACT students privately, and they all told me that the...

    Craigslist is a good place to look, but I would also call Jeff's housing office. They may keep a list of rentals in the area. Also, sign in to your Jefferson Pulse account, click on the Organizations...

    I am going to the session Monday evening, for sure. Regarding tuition, I've been going on the assumption that the tuition rate is in the $32,000-$33,000 range, same as it was. In this economy, I don't...

  8. HCC really screwed us big time!

    AtomicWoman replied to jinjinweiwei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a follow-up, here are a couple of links from the Evolve/Elsevier site about the Admissions Assessment test, in which they are talking to admissions people:...

    jinjin, here is a page from the people who wrote the HESI A2: http://evolve.elsevier.com/staticPages/s_reach_exams_specialty.html Note that under the boxed text, it says, "There is also a Critical...

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah, Sunshine, that's the problem. When we started our prereqs, the market for new nurses was really good. Just a couple of years later, it has completely changed. I guess all we can do is work our...

  11. HCC really screwed us big time!

    AtomicWoman replied to jinjinweiwei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am still shaking my head that they expect you to know how to prioritize medical situations before you start nursing school! It's not all just common sense; it's common sense plus nursing knowledge....

    AtomicWoman replied to jinjinweiwei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure they count the Critical Thinking portion in their acceptance decision? In my school, we took the critical thinking part, but it was only used in case they had 2 students with equal...

  13. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    AtomicWoman replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Of course, no one can tell you what to do. But my intention is to take whatever I can get, in order to get the required experience. Unfortunately, it's not a good market for new grads, so we'll...

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Is anyone else starting to get nervous about the lack of jobs for new grads in the Philly area? I keep hearing more and more stories -- like this one:...

    AtomicWoman replied to gogatsby's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'll be starting at Jeff this May, and this has me very worried. They had better do something about this, even if it just means holding forums about creative ways to get a job, or thinking about the...

    Bobbie, 2 TB tests is pretty typical. I think they do a "2-step" in case the first one basically sensitizes you, and then the 2nd one gives the reaction. That's only if you've had TB exposure, of...

  18. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    AtomicWoman replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    2 16-hour shifts plus an 8 for a new grad! Urk! I'd be a little nervous about that one. Although in this job market, you've gotta grab what you

    AtomicWoman replied to gogatsby's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    They have had a hiring freeze for a year now. Last year, a Jeff nursing student told me the Jeff hospital nurse recruiter told their class not to bother applying for jobs at Jeff!! I don't know if the...
