  1. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    In the beginning of the program there are a lot of options to make your own schedule. There are night classes, a few weekend classes, day classes, etc. Clinicals have day and night options as well. As...

  2. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi Jac, I'm sure they do have a network of past preceptors, but that doesn't mean that those preceptors aren't being sought out by other schools too. So my preceptors had good experiences with me, but...

  3. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm happy to answer any questions! 1) Yes PNP students need a total of 600 clinical hours. 2) They only need their clinical hours to be in the field of pediatrics (this is from birth through college...

  4. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi I'm in the same cohort with Calalilly except I'm in the pedi track, so I can answer your questions specific to that... I agree with most of what Calalilly was saying--feel I got a strong background...

  5. What qualities are good to have as a Pediatric Nurse?

    Jennifer0512 replied to animenurse's topic in Pediatric

    I would agree with turnforthenurseRN that patience with children and creativity are GREAT to have when working in peds (it never hurts to have a few tricks up your sleeve--especially with the young...

  6. Stumped! 2 questions from 1st exam (BSN, soph)

    Jennifer0512 replied to acerbia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I looked it up because I was curious and I read it was no coffee, tea, or colas, among a bunch of other no-no items, so I think it's more than just coffee, but who

  7. Stumped! 2 questions from 1st exam (BSN, soph)

    Jennifer0512 replied to acerbia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm thinking the second one sounds like a mistake, but I could be wrong. I agree with your reasoning that they should avoid anything with caffeine, so avoiding colas, coffees, and teas, seems logical...

  8. Dumb things new nurses do....

    Jennifer0512 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Basically the first day we were allowed to take patients in clinical I was about to help a fellow nursing student do a bed bath on her patient. I filled up (and I mean FILLED) the plastic bucket with...

  9. May 2012 NP Grads!!

    Jennifer0512 replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm going to be a May grad!! Can't wait!! This experience has been so rewarding, but I'm so ready to actually begin my life (at least that's what it feels

  10. How do I get a job in a doctor's office?

    Jennifer0512 replied to JourneyRN's topic in Pediatric

    I find that you don't need to have as many connections for office jobs than you do for hospital jobs (hospital jobs connections seem to be everything these days). You can do any of those things you...

  11. Flashcards question

    Jennifer0512 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also a physical flash card person. I think it also had to do with the fact that I made them myself and took them everywhere that helped me with the information. As you said, it's very generous...

  12. Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My reasoning was similar to cyza's #2. I really like the model of thinking better. I like to look at the whole person not just the disease process. And I'm interested in preventative care (primary)...

  13. Getting into BSN program with existing BA degree.....

    Jennifer0512 replied to penelope's weave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I still believe the new grade replaces the old grade or it is at least factored in. I'm not as familiar with big schools, but this is definitely not a new "problem" incoming students have, in fact it...

  14. Getting into BSN program with existing BA degree.....

    Jennifer0512 replied to penelope's weave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it will hurt you. Not only have you retaken the course (which is a difficult course for a number of people also) and received an A, which is great, but the D you received was in your...

  15. Are medical supplies tax deductible?

    Jennifer0512 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I was watching an old episode of ER (season 4) and although I know that tv shows aren't always realistic it got me thinking... Dr. Carter mentioned to a fellow intern in the episode that medical...

  16. Are medical supplies tax deductible?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Nursing

    After looking through a specific section of the Pub 17 (thanks again for the suggestion!) I don't think it qualifies for me My work-education related expenses are for a NEW profession and therefore...

  17. Are medical supplies tax deductible?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know if it matters that I'm a second-degree student (or 3rd degree I guess since the BSN was my second degree and now I'm getting my MSN/NP) and not right out of high school. Probably not, but...

  18. Are medical supplies tax deductible?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Nursing

    I have a tax advisor, so I will absolutely check it out and see what she says! Then I will report back

  19. Are medical supplies tax deductible?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that's interesting about the "reaching the monetary amount" of the percentage of the salary. I definitely could qualify as potentially not having enough since I am still a student. I will...

  20. Grades and gre for direct entry msn

    Jennifer0512 replied to Kenthomas's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1. They say C's or above, but usually it's actually A's + B's in pre-reqs (they don't care so much about your overall gpa). GRE scores generally need to break 1000. 2. They will probably focus more on...

  21. How do you correctly word a pediatric assessment?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Bodie43's topic in General Students

    I don't like the wording of "development is impressive". It should definitely be more specific-make sure to touch on specific gross motor, fine motor, personal/social, and language development for...

  22. Having a dog during nursing school

    Jennifer0512 replied to jiwonkim89's topic in General Students

    Hire a dog walker to come once in the middle of the day on those long days (it's really not too expensive if you're only doing it once or twice a week for those long

  23. Help w/Advanced Health Assessment

    Jennifer0512 replied to nurseshasta99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Haha not very anatomically correct, but I read one nursing blog that used a blow-up doll and she drew on it to help her study A & P...I suppose you could use it for H & P skills

  24. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I asked myself if I ever wanted to work with adults and the answer for me was no...not now and not down the line. I enjoyed my BSN rotations very much, but I knew it wasn't what I wanted or "was...

  25. HELP! Accelerated BSN or Accelerated DE MSN

    Jennifer0512 replied to HopefulSmiles's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yep I'm in the program :) I am enjoying it. I feel like they have prepared me very well. We do have to specialize for the MSN portion (you don't have to decide until then though). I'm in pediatrics....
