  1. I think I may go get my food stamp when I graduate

    AtomicWoman replied to wshy_no1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Now if someone could tell me where ANY hospital in Philly is hiring new grads, I wouldn't be so nervous about going to NS. 20 bucks an hour while getting those crucial 2 years of experience sounds...

    AtomicWoman replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I hope the nurses who cared for the patient with Marburg Fever wore gloves. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5iSI2Vr-HhTwmEft6yINunfh1FbqA (They didn't know she had Marburg...

  4. Helene Fuld - still have night classes?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Does Helene Fuld School of Nursing still have a night program or are they phasing it out? A friend of mine is interested in going there, but when I went to the website, there is no mention of night...

  6. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm hoping a current student will answer that question, too. Although I am planning on buying a Palm just because she said the Palm is what Jefferson's IT department

  7. Who else read the article in todays Arizona Repub new grad nurses can't find work

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

    I have not been hearing good things about Florida for NEW grads, regardless of what hiring trends are up. I think that's the problem in a good part of the country. If hospitals are hiring, they want...

    Do you have experience as a nurse? The biggest problem seems to be getting a job as a new

    AtomicWoman replied to mume2mykidz's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Unfortunately, the situation is as bad, or worse, in Philly. And I just started hearing about problems in the Pittsburgh

  12. Do I have to re-take Chemistry? Need advice please

    AtomicWoman replied to Lola89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If any of the schools tell you to take the CLEP test, make sure you ask them how that will be recorded on your record. My community college (not where I'm going to NS) allows you to CLEP out, but then...

  13. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    AtomicWoman replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    87 sounds good to me! I think you have a good shot with that score.

  14. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    kdrose, I don't know the answer to your question, since I am not in the program yet. Hopefully, someone in the program will answer your question soon. Or you could call/email Niki and ask her. I'm...

  15. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    AtomicWoman replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You need to score as high as you possibly can because of that B. I am not trying to discourage you, because people DO get in with Bs, but competition is so stiff that you'll need to be pretty...

    AtomicWoman replied to greenland's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Tay, thanks for stopping by! So good to hear from someone who finished the program. When did you finish? Were you able to get a job fairly quickly (the question on everyone's mind these

  17. Thomas Jefferson FACT program

    AtomicWoman replied to greenland's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    First we ate. You'll notice there's food at all Jefferson events. LOL! We all sat around/milled around and asked questions like, "What program are you accepted for?". There were a lot of FACT students...

  18. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    AtomicWoman replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I just rummaged through my files on my computer and came up with 4 pages of single-spaced notes (lots of bold letters emphasizing major points!) from which I made flash cards before I took the HESI....

  19. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    AtomicWoman replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Sparknotes was also good for helping me remember the big picture of the Krebs/Citric Acid cycle. It's too easy to get caught up in all the individual steps without stepping back and saying, OK, what's...

  20. New nurse needs help moving to Philly!

    AtomicWoman replied to Scooby484k's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Society Hill rocks! :) So glad you found a pet-friendly place. I'm surprised it was that tough; just about everyone I know who lives in an apartment in Philly has one or more pets. Maybe they keep...

    AtomicWoman replied to greenland's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    How did you hear about Accepted Students Day? I haven't heard a peep from Jeff about that, although I was expecting to, since I went to it last year, when I was originally accepted to the APW program....

  22. OT: Any experience with Verizon INPulse or other prepaid cellular?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking at everything in my budget, getting ready to start nursing school in May. I'm thinking of switching to a prepaid cellphone, because it seems like it would be cheaper. (My hubby and I...

  23. OT: Any experience with Verizon INPulse or other prepaid cellular?

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

    Thanks for the responses so far! I'm still thinking about switching, but the only problem is that both my husband and I have cell phones, so even if I were just calling him, it would cost $1.98 per...

  24. Should spelling count?

    AtomicWoman replied to betc's topic in General Nursing

    truckerratt, that is a hoot. :) I have seen it before and yes, I can read the entire paragraph pretty quickly. That's because my mind (and probably a lot of other people's minds) looks for general...

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I have no idea what that mysterious health card is. LOL! I'm betting it's something we get from Jeff once we submit all our health info. Then again, it could be evidence of health insurance?? I am...
