  3. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was so tired after my Chem final that I took a nap! I never nap!! But boy, I needed it. Good luck on the bio

  4. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't pray -- make flashcards! OK, pray AND make flashcards! Remember you first need to know the DOMAIN geometry and then you can figure out the MOLECULAR geometry. So a molecule with a...

  5. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For Charles' Law, the equation is always: V1/T1 = V2/T2 The easiest thing to do when working with gas problems is to remember the COMBINED gas law, and then it doesn't matter whether you have a...

  6. Chem Spring 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes -- after buying and trying several, I found I love the Casio fx-115MS. It is very intuitive, it has all the functions you'll need for Chem I, its display is easy to read, you can back up easily...

  7. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    AtomicWoman replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    julz16, if I were a young whipper-snapper like you :) I would hang in there. Do the micro thing. Goodness knows you may not have much time to pursue that once you're in NS and then working as a nurse....

  8. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    AtomicWoman replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, You! You the one sittin' there textin' while the teacher's talkin'??? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm sitting here in NJ, so I couldn't possibly know you. But dang, it's a small world, and you...

  9. beware nursing schools in texas!

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

    It's good advice to ask this no matter where you want to go to school. I asked about the retention rate at a number of schools, because I think it's an important indicator of how supportive the school...

  10. Anyone applied to NJCU ABSN for May '08?

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

    What is the NJCU? I'm a Jersey girl, living in south Jersey and born and raised in north Jersey, but the NJCU communiversity? is a new one on me.

  11. Wait list vs. no wait list

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

    I was thinking the same thing! *If* the more expensive school's pass rate is comparable to the cheaper school and *if* you can swing it monetarily, my 2 cents would be to go for the school you can...

  12. In the nick of time!

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

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!! Coots rule! :) Let's go kick some butt in September, huh? :urck: :nmbrn::hpygrp::clphnds:

    AtomicWoman replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey, Elizabeth, did you apply and did you get in? Take

  14. Jefferson's Direct Entry Master's Program

    AtomicWoman replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Geez, I'm sorry you got waitlisted! Did they give you any indication about where you are on the waitlist -- like near the top, at the bottom, #50 or what? I don't know how their waitlist works, but...

  15. Indian Nurses to Solve Nursing "Shortage"

    AtomicWoman replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken. :) But that doesn't mean Congress couldn't invent a "special" visa status for nurses and/or other healthcare workers if corporations convinced Congress there was an emergent

  16. Orientation question

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    For those who have or will be starting new jobs, I am curious. How long is the typical RN orientation period at a hospital? And if you work nights, is your orientation at night, or do you orient...

  17. Indian Nurses to Solve Nursing "Shortage"

    AtomicWoman replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    What we as a profession (OK I *will* be a nurse in a couple of years) need to be wary of is the following scenario: Big hospitals and hospital management companies go before Congress and testify that...

  18. My A&P and The Anatomy and Physiology Place

    AtomicWoman replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used both of these websites; they are a BIG HELP in studying for the tests, especially if you are using one of the textbooks such as Marieb or Martini. (I love the art labelling, the flashcards and...

  19. The Hobet

    AtomicWoman replied to conley1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You want to get the same study guide as the one that is used for the NET, since it is the same company. In fact, the title of the book is "Study Guide for The NET, The HOBET, The HELP entrance tests"....

  20. Orientation question

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

    Thanks to all who have answered! One last question: do they let you orient while you are still a GN, or do you have to pass the NCLEX and be licensed first? Thanks

  21. SHU CNL Program

    AtomicWoman replied to MSUMan's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I am wondering why SHU is doing this *now*. Their NCLEX pass rate in 2007 was below 75%: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/nursing/minute/nurmin_021908.htm Scroll down till you see the discussion of...

  22. Any nurses with chemistry or biochem degrees?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if any of you have chemistry or biochemistry degrees, or even took a lot of chemistry in college. If so, do you have a job that permits you to use that knowledge on a daily basis? I've...

  23. Any nurses with chemistry or biochem degrees?

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, a BS *and* an MS in Chem! :bowingpurI am not worthy!!

  24. I am a loser

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

    Wow, I didn't know this. Those law school graduates must feel ripped-off that they are prevented from "passing" not by their performance on the test but by the fact that so many people apply to take...

  25. Seton Hall NS article re: students failing HESI

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in General Students

    Here's an article about a bunch of Seton Hall Nursing students who didn't meet the new minimum score for what I'm assuming is the HESI Exit exam (the newspaper article doesn't name it directly)....
