    Cinqui73 posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Last Thursday I was at the college for the purpose of collecting my Chemistry grade with some classmates. Apparently, there was a graduation ceremony for RN's going on that night as well, and my...

  2. Pre-Nursing @ Bergen Community College

    Cinqui73 replied to crissyt82's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Yes, I think we (DaddyO & I) were the last people to take the Accuplacer; it is now the HESI, which is more complex. I won't say "harder," because the Accuplacer wasn't easy, just based on...

    Cinqui73 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Cinqui73 replied to Cinqui73's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, I have no idea who created the med calculation practice packet...I'm curious to see when/if we review it if the instructor catches on to the misprint. I try really hard to keep my mouth shut,...

  10. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Cinqui73 replied to Cinqui73's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ah, that's good to know. As I said, I've never seen "dilutent" before, but I didn't want to judge it prematurely, "vancromycin" or not! Reminds me of a time when when I was touring nursing colleges,...

  11. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Cinqui73 replied to Cinqui73's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for saying "diluent"....my handouts call it "dilutent," which I don't know it it's correct or not; however, in my 17 years as a medical assistent reconstituting meds/giving injections, I've...

  16. Anyone else wating on their results from BCC'S Nursing Entrance Exam?

    Cinqui73 replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Yeah, I'll say! The only time I experience true discomfiture was the first night though; the room was so BITTERLY cold that I couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that I felt like I was in a...

  17. My first medication error-help!

    Cinqui73 replied to LovelyLucky's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree - you gave it as ordered, therefore committed no error. Just make sure you document, document,

  18. Feeling stupid (and a little miffed...)

    Cinqui73 replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    Not to be snotty, but I've encountered plenty of RN's who are plenty unskilled in therapeutic communication, alot of them on this very board (not you personally, Daytonite), unfortunately! In my 17...

    Cinqui73 replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! That is amazing!! LOL!

  21. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Cinqui73 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Wow....did you really type that?! Not only are you insulting and condescending, but the gall to insinuate you're being prosecuted for your faith rather than for what you have posted is so ridiculous...

  22. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    Cinqui73 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I just have to say, alot of my peers in the RN program are my age and up - a good amount of second-career and second-degree students in my lot! Don't let your disappointment and keen sense of failure...

  23. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Cinqui73 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I respectfully disagree with this - only because I was raised in an agnostic household, but would follow my friend's families to church as a child! It's funny, because NOW my mother is the proverbial...

    Cinqui73 replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think your nuts, LOL! Are you working? If you're not working and have independent children, I think you can do it. It's been done before! It's all a matter of other things that...

  25. Did I win the lottery or is it a curse?

    Cinqui73 replied to jsuh's topic in General Students

    If that's the case, I certainly agree - however, my college (as far as I know) uses a "test bank" and professors hand pick their questions for EACH test, every semester. This way, no one can pass on...
