  1. Chemistry grade C+ not good enough

    AtomicWoman replied to minokismom's topic in General Students

  2. Where do you want to work once you're done

    AtomicWoman replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Onco. But I will work anywhere I can get a job right out of

  3. my first poop/ nasty experience... just wanna share

    AtomicWoman replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    This is not a helpful answer. Do you think people can't get over their fears? I know for a fact that they can, because I spend a good deal of my professional life helping people with fears and...

  4. I am so upset, please help me.

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

    afranklin, if you are oriented toward the spoken word (not everyone is), you might try just talking into a tape recorder about the material you have read. Speak as if you were talking to a smart...

  5. Is anyone else addicted to nursing student vlogs on youtube??

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

    Can anyone post a direct link to a really good one?

  6. Are there enough "New-grad" positions in your area?

    AtomicWoman replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Students

    The market in Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia is awful. New grad positions are extremely scarce, due to hiring freezes, hospital closures, hospitals being unwilling to spend the bucks to train a...

  7. my first poop/ nasty experience... just wanna share

    AtomicWoman replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Both my Mom and my MIL were hospitalized last year and had poop "accidents". They were both SO grateful that the person who cleaned them up was so nice about it. In fact, I think my Mom was in love...

  8. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    AtomicWoman replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hah, hah! One day I actually called someone and gave my husband's name instead of mine! Granted, the call was ABOUT him, but it wasn't actually him calling.

  9. Can't Find a job!!! This wasn't supposed to be this hard!

    AtomicWoman replied to Frustrated in Cle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is that actually possible to do? I always thought that once you had a license for a position at a higher level of responsibility and knowledge, facilities wouldn't hire you at a lower level (of...

  10. my first poop/ nasty experience... just wanna share

    AtomicWoman replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Regarding the Vicks -- what product do you use? I am only familiar with Vicks in a jar, which wouldn't fit in a pocket. Does it come in a tube,

  11. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    AtomicWoman replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm an idiot!! :lol_hitti I meant to say FACT (which is the program I am starting LOL), but typed ACE. Argh!! Let me see if I can edit an old message. Thanks for correcting my correction! Back to my...

  12. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Everyone get the notice about the FACT get-together on April 13? I am definitely going to that; probably not going to the Accepted Students Reception. Although they keep sending me emails about that...

  13. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    AtomicWoman replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just a teensy correction... :) You get 9 graduate *credits* when you finish your BSN in the ACE program. That's 3 courses. And yes, you are automatically accepted to the MSN program. I think (but I'm...

  14. How many students does Temple University accerelated BSN program accept?

    AtomicWoman replied to greenland's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Did you see the other post about Temple discontinuing their ABSN? I hadn't heard anything about that until I dropped by

  15. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    AtomicWoman replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    "And they def prepare you for the real world." FACT does, too. The FACT program allows you to graduate with 9 MSN credits (I don't know if the ACE program does, too). It's slightly longer than the...

  16. Trouble with getting a job

    AtomicWoman replied to fxg002's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That would be a bummer for me! Not that I wouldn't take a job there if offered, due to the economy, but I'm kinda looking forward to a 3-day schedule. Yes, I know, 12 hour shifts are rough... Do they...

  17. Trouble with getting a job

    AtomicWoman replied to fxg002's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    They still do 8-hour shifts (instead of 12s)

    Thomas Jefferson, starting their accelerated BSN May 19.

  19. OLOL Nursing School

    AtomicWoman replied to zawatscm's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I don't know anyone who had an interview who WAS NOT accepted. They may be out there, but I haven't heard about them. I think they only interview students they are seriously considering. When did they...

  20. Question about Helene Fuld School of Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to nurse2B0712's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    They used to have an evening program. I am sorry to see they no longer have

  21. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I have learned that when I need an answer to a question fast, it is always better to pick up the phone. I've written emails to financial aid that took 6 weeks (you read that right!) for them to...

  22. do you need a BSN to work at Penn. Hosp? Salary Ques

    AtomicWoman replied to glamgalRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  25. What disease results from a germ free environment?

    AtomicWoman replied to emilyRNwannabe's topic in General Students

    I agree with Crafty. There's no evidence SCID *results from* a germ-free environment. But like s/he said, it *requires* a germ-free environment. There's a lot of speculation that today's kids have...
