Thanks again for the advice.. :)

aww thanks so much your the best.. and best of luck i hope you get your top choice hospital!!! i have yet to finish up one more semester of pre-req's and then i can apply for my Nursing Eve. Program.. I work full time and go to school part-time.. and the memorization is unbelievable... But it's a fulfilling challenge in the end.!!

oh thank you for the reply - i almost forgot i even posted this message... :) i have applied via fax with the position of unit secretary to get my foot into the door.. unfortunately to no avail i had no bites.. But i remain hopeful!!! i am lucky enough that i am not pressed for a job at this moment.. phew!! thanks for the info though... the hospital sounds really nice.. but maybe i'll also search for a more diversified hospital as well.. maybe something in the city if the hiring freeze is over by the time i graduate.. have you gotten your RN License? which Hospital do you prefer?? :)

These websites are great!! Especially helps when you are trying to memorize the terminology :) Kuddos THANKS a BUNCH... Taking A&P I as of Jan. 09 yippie

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone can share any information they had on this hospital.. When I graduate - I am looking forward to working (Nights, Weekends, Full Time) I would like the Pediatric Unit.. But whatever opening will do at the time.. I was wondering what the salary was like, what the staff was like, benefits, school reimbursement, etc. Other than the information given on the website.. Any and all information would be great.!

IN one of your reply posts you mention Lenox Hill Hospital & I was wondering what their shifts where like if you had known.. (ie. 2-3 nights 12 hour shifts *that's what I am primarily looking to do "weekend / graveyard shifts" when I graduate) Do you have a recommendation of recruiters? And How is the atmosphere here at this hospital if you know?:

point taken. thanks..

haha, I hear you on this one... My husband says he'll never say no to me and he'll support whatever I decide (regarding school), but the mommy in-law is getting HIGHLY impatient (because she wants me to have kids like yesterday), so I don't have children yet, but am asked literally everyday, and what the hold up is... Its frustrating, thank god, we live 45 min away from the hubb bubb...!

Thanks this has been so helpful. I've gotten my books for my pre-req's and I plan on giving them a good look through this weekend before classes start since the Professor had time to email the students his Syllabus and Lecture Notes. How exciting.. Ohhh Jjlaman - sorry but I "over-read" (over heard) lol - your conversation about the DvD's that you have.. Would you be so kind as to share them with me as well. I can get you recordable DVD's if you'd like and I'd be more than happy to share them along with my fellow students, if that helps you out as well.. It's the greatest feeling, to come into a room and have that knowlege of preparation! YAY

Heyy DaddyO I know from previous posts you were waiting to hear from BCC - it's so great that you got in!!! How was the test in your opinion any key points I should know about to prepare myself come Oct. 09 :) I know someone had said if you know basic algebra you should be fine.. I am taking a coorifice this semester in Algebra B so Hopefully that will help as well. How difficult was the English Section (and was there any Science?)

Thanks "j" and DaddyO! It is very encouraging and an eye opener which is what I need, to better prepare myself for the coming months ahead!! I appreciate all your input! And good luck with your NCLEX, I am sure you will do fine! I hope all is well with your wife and baby! (o

holy! i can't afford not to work, but does it help that my only classes will be that of NURSING? Either way I have heard that it's "advised" that you not work. This is my biggest fear, to fail because of necessity :*( I will give it my all! Now I am extra nervous.. :heartbeat

Wow, so that's what the evening classes look like in Bergen. Phew, I am gonna be getting home really late... ;( Well, its worth the effort now (sacrifice) for the greater good..!

All you guys are the best, thanks for the information about the entrance exam! Also, thanks to you guys for having this conversation, I've gained a lot more insight into the program and also had a few of my future questions answered Good luck to you both!!

Yea Sure that sounds fun!! WE can cheer each other on!! You can email me from time to time Good luck with your schooling!! I hear you about getting out and working first I made the same choice and I figured let me get my ASN as well and once in the nursing field I can always choose to continue my education YIPPIE!
