  1. So Much For Nursing Shortage!!!!!!!!!!

    AtomicWoman replied to mina123's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Proverbs, congrats on getting a job in Baltimore so quickly! :) Where did you hear about the Jefferson hiring freeze? Did their HR department tell you

  2. I Can't Find A Stinking Program in Philly!

    AtomicWoman replied to ImASuckyCMA87's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Check out Jefferson's ASN program. If you get into that program, I believe you are automatically also accepted to their BSN program so you can go on when you finish the

  3. Who will buy tuition forgiveness in PA?

    AtomicWoman replied to Llynn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    $12.50 an hour??? For an RN

  4. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    I'll be 52 when I graduate with a BSN in 2010! Older students kick butt and take names. Ask any professor. :) I just finished a microbiology summer class where at least half the class was over 35. The...

  5. Interview to Nursing School

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

    One interview was totally boring and banal: "Why do you want to be a nurse?" "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "What field of nursing would you like to go into". Another interview at another...

  6. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

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

    I did A&P II in the Spring, and I just finished a summer Microbiology course. If I had to pick one of them to do in the summer, it would definitely be Micro. It is still tons of information, but...

  7. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I could be wrong about this, but I thought we couldn't finalize our student loans until Jefferson gave us some sort of financial aid statement that said "here's what it will cost you to go to school,...

  8. DUI and Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to twilli88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    twilli, if it were me, I would send the Ohio BON a certified letter with this question, and I would request an answer *in writing*. This is way too important to accept someone's answer orally or to...

  9. Microbiology - Summer 2008

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

    Going into my last week of a 5-week course. Wow, time went fast! But the course is so freaking interesting, it has been a blast!! It was easy to study for the tests and labs because it's been so...

  10. Lost a friend in the process...

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

    Congrats on your acceptance! It may be that right now, seeing you or talking with you makes your friend feel dumb, or humiliated, or sad or just bad. It may remind her of what she *didn't* get. So...

  11. Best Ways to Keep Alert?

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

    I don't know if this is good or bad, but I am too old to stay up all or most of the night studying! :chuckle If I do that, I am a non-thinking, non-functional zombie the next day. Given that, I have...

  12. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You're right -- they don't give a GPA cutoff, do they? I have a Ph.D., so I can't really say how they would evaluate undergrads applying to the traditional BSN program. I *don't think* they require...

  13. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, at least it's not just me!! I was done in March and when I went to the financial aid program in April, they said it would be "a few weeks" before we heard anything. Now here it is June 14, and I...

  14. new grad-critical care info.

    AtomicWoman replied to ravneet's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congratulations! That's fabulous! Are you going to move up to that

  15. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Also, have you heard anything from their financial aid office yet? I cannot believe I haven't heard from them. I emailed and they said they were working on the fall Nursing students' files this month....

  16. Jefferson BSN Students?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNSES's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'll be starting in their APW BSN program, which is also two years. Most of our classes are with the traditional BSN students.

  17. Jefferson FACT 2008 applicants?

    AtomicWoman replied to byrd262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the clarification. At least the August starters can get their NCLEX out of the way before they start working... (trying to put a positive spin on the

  18. Jefferson FACT 2008 applicants?

    AtomicWoman replied to byrd262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the update, although this news is kind of scary! Several people who got scholarships are still unemployed, or several people from your class in general? Are/were you in the FACT or APW...

  19. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Here are some different sites. My advice would be to look at all of them and see what you can learn from each one. Somewhere along the way, it is likely to all "come together" for you. :)...

  20. What to do?? I failed!

    AtomicWoman replied to RNFinally12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Only the OP can make the determination if this battle is worth pursuing. As a Marine friend of mine is fond of saying, "Decide if that's the hill you're willing to die on today. If it is, then go for...

  21. What to do?? I failed!

    AtomicWoman replied to RNFinally12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, *I* was the person who was being referred to as having been given good advice regarding keeping my mouth shut when I start NS, not the OP of this thread or anyone else.

  22. Help! placing foley in obese females

    AtomicWoman replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

  23. Can anyone give me the pathophysiology of pleural effusion?

    AtomicWoman replied to pihay82's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do like emedicine.com for looking up diseases and conditions, because there is usually a ton of info, aimed at medical professionals. Here's their page on pleural effusion, with its pathophys:...

  24. What to do?? I failed!

    AtomicWoman replied to RNFinally12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here's what a friend who is an NP told me when I decided to go to nursing school. "You will hear your instructors say things that you know are wrong. You will hear them say things that you know are...

  25. English prof + course issues....

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

    I can't think of a single professor in all my college years who would have given out a "C" if the student didn't show up for the final. It would have been an "F" UNLESS the student contacted the prof...
