  1. NCLEX pass rates 2007 for all NJ programs

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The fast-track program is too new to have any students take the NCLEX, especially given that the data is as of the end of 2007. (They may have some grads already, I don't know.) So that's one less...

  2. Getting pregnant while taking lab courses

    AtomicWoman replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please talk about this with your physician. None of us are qualified to answer your question. Last year, a pregnant woman asked my Chemistry teacher if it was OK for her to do labs. He (rightly) told...

  3. I think we need a second degree student section...

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

    No problem! Best of luck in your search for $$$.

  4. Sex and Nursing School

    AtomicWoman replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    I hope his doctor can make him feel comfortable about the subject, or at least refer him to a specialist. I work in a speciality urology office where people with sexual dysfunctions of all kinds are...

  5. Titers or vaccines?

    AtomicWoman replied to Barbe's topic in General Students

    Every program I applied to required titers. Even if you have proof of the vaccination, they want to see that your body has developed sufficient antibodies to the virus(es). Some people get the...

  6. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

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

    All of Mass? The Boston area? Western Mass? Just curious if it's the whole state or just parts of

  7. I think we need a second degree student section...

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

    taffy, as a 2nd degree student, the only thing you CANNOT get, at the federal level, is grants (e.g., Pell grants). You can still get student loans, assuming you haven't taken out the maximum before....

  8. Hi! Anyone know what TRAFFIC is like from south jersey to UPenn Hospital?

    AtomicWoman replied to lpjmmb's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You're right! Boy is that going to mess things up on the Schuylkill, especially at first when people are still trying to figure out alternative

  9. Here is a crazy question

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

    Yikes! The Zuca Pro is really, really expensive! The Sport is a little more reasonable -- by comparison, anyway. And they *are* kind of funky looking! BTW, to my fellow coots: I know you'll get a...

  10. Any comments on Cooper University Hospital in South Jersey

    AtomicWoman replied to againstthegrain08's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If you're going to be in the part of Burlington County near Burlington City or that end of BC, check out Virtua, which has a lot of expansion plans: http://www.virtua.org/ If you're going to be moving...

  11. Hi! Anyone know what TRAFFIC is like from south jersey to UPenn Hospital?

    AtomicWoman replied to lpjmmb's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I've been commuting from SJ to Philly for years (not to work at a hospital, but in various center city and near-west-philly locations) and for me, the key is to always have a Plan B. If you hear on...

  12. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    BTW, do any of you current/former FACTers have a study group? Or do you pretty much do it on your

  13. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Bailey, thanks for the info. I guess I'll be one of the small handful of people in their 50s! :chuckle I knew about the scholarship being stopped, but not because Jeff said anything officially. I...

  14. Here is a crazy question

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

    On the advice of my physical therapist, I used a backpack to distribute the load evenly. I have problems with my sacroiliac joint. She told me if I *were* to use a roller bag, to walk with the bag...

  15. NET Study Guide

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

    pandaluck, I found the eriworld online practice test just as valuable, if not more so, than the study guide. When I took my NET, the math was pretty much dead-on from the study guide, but I also...

  16. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    AtomicWoman replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a suggestion for those of you who tutor to stay current/fresh with the material you've already learned. Answer questions on Yahoo Answers! I do this for Chemistry, Biology and A&P (mostly...

  17. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for your insight! I'll try to remember to keep things revved up, even in November. :) Have you found a job yet, or are you studying for the NCLEX? Were most of your fellow students able to find...

  18. Chemistry Fall 2008

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

    If you can afford it, the Teaching Company has their High School Chemistry course on sale for $79.99 (it's usually way more than that):...

  20. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you SO MUCH for all that detailed information! You have helped me make an important decision. :icon_hug: I know how busy you must be, or at least I am imagining how busy you must be! If you...

  21. Chemistry Fall 2008

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

    That's EXACTLY what I am always saying! :) Do so many problems, you think you'll barf. LOL That's the only way to overcome uncertainty in how to approach a type of problem on the test. Congrats on...

  22. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    AtomicWoman replied to VetTechingWasEasier's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The last time I checked, about 9 months ago, CCC required the NLN as an entrance exam. But I don't recall seeing anything about the HESI as an exit

  23. Change from ADN to BSN?

    AtomicWoman replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I originally was planning to get my ADN, but since I want to go for my MSN as soon as I can, the BSN made more sense to me. Because I already have a bachelor's degree, I could have had an ADN in 2...

  24. Nursing students going into CRNA school?

    AtomicWoman replied to heidinoel21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One woman in one of my classes said she wanted to be CRNA, but she couldn't even pronounce it! Kept calling it a "nurse

    AtomicWoman replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! I'm so glad your prof. curves. Hopefully, you're sleeping a little better now.
