  1. Which topics in microbiology are the most useful in nursing?

    anon695 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    There was nothing important in Microbiology that wasn't taught in Nursing already. It was just another filler class to add 4 extra credits to the total

  2. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    anon695 replied to cobee's topic in General Students

    I'm in a combination Diploma/Associate's program, and passing is

  3. NYU Accelerated BSN Spring 2011

    anon695 replied to anne2424's topic in New York Nursing

    I've lived in the area many years. Craigslist is the way to go. Manhattan is extremely expensive, and it's not just rent that's over priced - even food in the supermarkets costs more in Manhattan....

  4. academic dishonesty issue

    anon695 replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    It's possible that it could reflect negatively on your application to the nursing school and be the factor that denies your acceptance. But if that's not the case and you DO get accepted to the...

  5. Any one worried about a job after graduating?

    anon695 replied to natalee123's topic in General Students

    I had a summer externship so I'm less worried than I was in my first year. I've been looking at it this way - no matter WHAT kind of degree or training you invest in, jobs are scarce these days. But I...

  6. Any current or post student from Christ Hospital School of Nursing in NJ

    anon695 replied to Nursinglife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a current student and I love the program. It's not easy, your life will be consumed by NS and you'll spend at least 3 hours each day studying, but it is totally worth it. Treat the interview like...

  7. Is NClex preparation classes very helpful

    anon695 replied to beatrice1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think staying home and working in a book is a much better use of my NCLEX study time, so thanks for the tip. If there's any way possible I can get out of paying for the class (if the school puts my...

  8. Is NClex preparation classes very helpful

    anon695 replied to beatrice1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was wondering the same thing. I'm in a diploma/Associates Cooperative program in North Jersey and we are all required to take a review course at the end, usually Rutgers. If I am absolutely forced...

  9. Nursing Pin for $115

    anon695 replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, it is absolutely not worth $115. I probably wouldn't pay more than $15 for a nursing pin regardless of what it's made of. Remember "class rings" from high school? People payed big money...

  10. Health Insurance for nursing school, how can I afford this!?

    anon695 replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I'd go talk to the nursing school about this. Explain your situation and ask them if they have any suggestions to point you in the right direction. I'm sure you're not the only 20-year...

  11. To walk with cap and gown or not?

    anon695 replied to jr3t's topic in General Students

    I think you'd have to weigh the pro's and con's that apply to you personally. For me, I'm just doing the Nursing graduation and skipping the larger one with the cap and gown. To spend money on the cap...

  12. Darn right, those stock prices dipped

    anon695 replied to BigTuna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was always baffled that something that seemed so obvious to me (that these schools are a rip off) wasn't apparent to everybody else. Sure the admissions committee may have lower standards and...

  13. RN to BSN: SAT?

    anon695 replied to Capable1's topic in General Nursing

    Your SAT scores are valid for life. If they want to see it, you just have to go through the red tape and pay the fee for the College Board (SAT people) to retrieve an old, archive score and have it...

  14. The imporrtance of having a degree in this economy especially In Nursing !!

    anon695 replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    Huh? Nursing isn't recession-proof, NO job or degree is recession-proof. A nursing degree will give you a better chance at getting a job than a history degree, but it's still no guarantee. New lawyers...

  15. Wrong career or wrong school?

    anon695 replied to Eponine's topic in General Students

    Stick it out, it will get better and you'll do fine. Foundation/Fundamentals is never as interesting as the classed that come after it, you just have plod through that in order to get to the good...

  16. Appropriate gift for preceptor...thank you letter for charge nurse and other RN's?

    anon695 replied to BSNmwsu's topic in General Students

    When I had a summer externship, I gave my preceptor a thank-you card with a gift certificate to Target. I think gift cards are always appropriate, especially to stores where they can buy

  17. I need advise!!!!

    anon695 replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A 15-month program that includes pre-reqs but won't transfer to any other school sounds like some kind of for-profit tech school ripoff. As somebody else said, there is a reason why no other school...

  18. Role of Religion in Religious Nursing Schools

    anon695 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attend an Episcopal nursing school, it is a hospital school affiliated with the local community college. No religion classes were required in the co-requisites at community college. Religion is...

  19. Don't think Nursing is for me

    anon695 replied to justchill's topic in General Students

    If I were you I'd give nursing more time. A few weeks into the first semester is not enough to get to the interesting parts and not enough time to learn to connect with patients well. As the other...

  20. University of Wyoming RN to BSN online pros/cons

    anon695 replied to stevenfmurray's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FYI - SUNY Delhi (state university of New York) also has an online-only RN-BSN. It's more expensive per credit but it doesn't require nearly as many non-nursing credits and isn't strict about what you...

  21. Bayonne medical center school of nursing

    anon695 replied to Nursinglife's topic in General Students

    you can practice analogy questions if you really want to but it's the kind of thing where either you're smart enough to pass the test or you aren't. The vocabulary isn't real words. It's sort of a...

  22. Bayonne medical center school of nursing

    anon695 replied to Nursinglife's topic in General Students

    I took it in March 2009. It's basically an IQ test. There is no way to study for it, either you're innately smart enough to pass, or not. Don't be nervous, just take it and see how you

  23. Your dumbest financial mistakes

    anon695 replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Dumbest financial mistakes I ever made: 1. Went to a prestigious 4-year liberal arts college and got a BA in English right after high school. I ended up with $12K in debt (graduated in 2001), no real...

  24. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    anon695 replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I personally didn't bother with it, I thought it was something meant to separate people from their money more than anything else. I already have a Bachelor's so I wouldn't have been eligible for any...

  25. how do you go about finding summer externships?

    anon695 replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Start looking on the websites of your local hospitals and on Indeed.com in January. These programs usually have application deadlines in Jan/Feb/March, and you need time to get the application packet...
