Have not applied to any jobs since getting first jobs as a new grad! Hoping for any suggestions and advice! Thank you so much in advance. Should I place an objective to start my resume? Also I feel that the SNF job description and duties does not fully describe my responsibilities.

Since you are waiting on financial aid, were u deferred and did they give you an authorization for X amount of money to be used at the bookstore? You might try talking to financial aid to see if they will authorize you for more to be used at the bookstore. I know you used to be able to back when I first starting going to STCC, but that well over 5 years ago. It doesn't hurt to try.

The parking on Pearl street itself is for anyone, 7:30 is usually a good time to park. First couple days there can be a small line waiting to turn on pearl street (Lot 1's entrance being directly before the turn onto Pearl St doesn't help those turning on to Pearl street to get into Lot 2 or park on Pearl). With what is being said about the parking situation this year, I'm sure it'll be a little worse than usual. I'm not trying to dampen any one's hopes of parking closer. But at least the first day or two, you might want to get there a bit earlier in case you don't find parking on pearl and have to head to the other lots. Hope everyone enjoys the last two days left of vacation!

From what I understood when I bought my smartphone is that some phones run on different wireless systems. Either GMS or CDMA. Some of those that run on gms are tmobile and cingular. While cdma is verizon, nextel, and sprint. (Don't quote me on which is which though!) So if the faculty had bought all gms, if you had sprint you wouldn't be able to pop in your sim card and use it as a phone. As for adding on wireless internet, I'd more lean toward the possibility that they wouldn't require you to add it. Phone features "shouldn't" be used in the hospital setting anyways, so I don't see much of a reason why they would unless they wanted you to use it in the class setting. You'll have your applications, that's all you should really need.

I seem to remember something about the user id and password for blackboard being the same as either your web advisor or student email account? You might give that a try to get into blackboard if you can.

They always seem to be pretty bad about replying to parking. I seem to remember that they replied a couple of weeks or so prior to the semester actually starting. That's not kept me from emailing them twice a month though just in case. I just copy and paste when I feel the need to email again. LoL.

As the others had stated, as long as the edition is correct you don't need to worry about the year of publication as it can be wrong on Barnes and Noble's site. For fundamentals of nursing, the sixth edition is the correct one.

I believe the topic was health promotion using the nursing processes the first semester for us? We were able to choose what we wanted to promote, I went for diet in vegetarian pregnant women (I forgot my offical title lol). For the second semester, we had scenerios in which we had to choose from. In those scenerios the patients were dealing with some disease process in which we had to write about.

You're typically assigned patients in your first year. You will most likely be collecting data from charts on your patient the first day, and the second being actual patient care. As for shoes, they should be all white. No shoes that have no backing like crocs.

Hi Cherry, I am hoping to apply for the Fall 2010 RN to BSN program and was hoping that you could help me with some information regarding SUNY downstate. Unfortantely, I don't think I will be apply to attend their information session this wednesday so I would really appreciate any input. The questions I have in particular are as follows: -Do they require you to have all your prereqs done before starting their program? -Did you have to take the National league for Nursing Mobility Profile II examinations? -Also, if you don't mind sharing by PM or otherwise.... what GPA did you have on applying and did you already have experience in the field of nursing and what type of volunteer work did you do if any?

Hmm, I guess I sort of lucked out on that end for clinical with being able to still copy/paste. I pretty much always used my own words for what the drug was for, what I copy/pasted was for nursing implications and the template I made for lab diagnostics (changing it a little bit each week to be specific to my patient). I figured I'd probably see an end to copy/pasting at some point.

I wasn't organized at all before Nursing school. But now I'm pretty surprised at how that's changed, I even have to do lists. I never thought I would go that far, but I can really appreciate anyone being super organized now. One thing that I've seen that is an amazingly good idea is sticky tab marking your lab diagnostic book for clinical. It's a pain to refer to the index for every single lab done on a patient every single week. Which was why I decided to get one for my PDA the second semester around. Never thought about sticky tab marking a book, yet I did it for my powerpoint handouts the first semester by topic!

The lab manual I was speaking of will be given to you, it's just a packet of work to be done before lab each week. You will be using the Fundamentals and Taylor's clinical skills textbook to complete it. There have been times I'd put in additional notes when reading into the handouts. However, it seems that everything you need for the exams is generally given to you through lecture and handouts.

A lot of this is repetitive of what tero stated. The term paper and clinical paperwork, as is, will take out a lot of your time from studying. Anything else is just additional work to worry about. You will find getting your lab manual and math for clinical out of the way those first couple of weeks before clinical will help a great deal! The last thing you want to worry about is completing your lab work before a exam. Some of the work can take awhile to do. With the term paper, it does help to have all sections completed when you turn it in for peer review. You can get good insight. With that said, make sure you focus on fixing what you're peer reviewer suggests. If you question whether or not you really should change you paper to what your peer reviewer states, you should ask your faculty reader for help. Asking for clarification goes for anything you're unsure about, term paper or otherwise. You should aways be sure of what is expected of you. For clinical paperwork, I have found what works for me. However, people have stated that writing it out helps them to learn the labs and medications I will stick to typing it out if I can. The copy/paste method for meds help cut down on time writing everything out. I still learn what the meds are for, and, try to memorize everything regarding the med that I will be administrating to my patient.

YourMyBud2, you will find that you will be spending a lot of time with your clinical classmates and can always try to develop a study group with them. Congrats on getting in, I hope everyone does well! As important as it is to be prepared for the upcoming semester, remember to enjoy the summer too!
