    Cherry2000 replied to SheRN1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cherry2000 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ugh. I'm stressing over this and I'm hoping that I can get some help putting it in perspective. I just graduated from my FNP program in May and have a couple of lines on some positions. A big thing...

    Cherry2000 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

  6. ACLS for soon to be GN? Advice please.

    Cherry2000 replied to sh1901's topic in General Nursing

    I took ACLS before I graduated and it helped me get my job. If you don't have any interest in working telemetry, ICU, CCU... then it probably isn't necessary. It is a very intense course and you must...

    Cherry2000 replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    We were told they could pull hair from anywhere... arms, legs, back, whatever you have. So unless you plan to shave EVERYTHING, I'm sure they can get what they need. Btw, in my facility, this is only...

    Cherry2000 replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated in May and as a new grad I was given $5000 tuition reimbursement for my degree which pretty much amounts to the same thing as a sign on bonus. The way they do it is each paycheck you...

    Cherry2000 replied to krazylady's topic in New York Nursing

    I am graduating from TC3's nursing program this May. If they changed your major I would think that is definitely a good sign but I didn't notice that when I was applying. I really enjoyed my program...

    Cherry2000 replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I went last year and I graduate this year. It gave me an idea of what to expect and what kinds of jobs were out there. We also had 4 yr schools there recruiting transfers. It was interesting and an...

    Cherry2000 replied to IJUSTWISH's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My nursing instructor explained it a little differently...so actually you did better this time than when it shut off at 200 questions. That time the computer "knew" that you couldn't possibly pass the...

    Cherry2000 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    my RN license before applying to Stony Brook's RN to BSN online program? I am in the process of filling out their application online and am confused. I thought that I could go from my associates...

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually they give you 3 or 4 topics that you must address in your essay. I still haven't done it! I am working on it though. I have to write different essays for the schools that I am applying to and...

  19. Do you ever 'forget' information?

    Cherry2000 replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    You will forget things. That is part of life. BUT the second time you hear them it will be easier...and the third time, even easier. You will hear the really important stuff over and over. Eventually...

    As long as you are doing ok, don't worry about it! My first semester wasn't that tough and certainly did not bury my head in the books. I got an A. Second semester is much more difficult and will...

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in New York Nursing

  22. How prepared were you for your first clinical?

    Cherry2000 replied to D.R.A.'s topic in General Students

    Just remember that you are at clinicals to learn. Be ready, willing and able to do anything that comes your way. Really they want to you learn "their way" of doing things and they will show you what...

  23. International Edition textbooks

    Cherry2000 replied to HelloRose's topic in General Students

    Older editions are great. The only drawback that I've seen so far is that sometimes things are on different pages and you might have to do a little more searching for specific tables and whatnot. If...

    Cherry2000 replied to HelloRose's topic in General Students

    Cherry2000 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    Our school uses the ATI books to reinforce the material they teach. They simplify everything and outline it and are wonderful as a quick reference. Saunders questions get you in the mindframe that...
