  1. SO BAD at drawing blood, starting IV's??

    Z0LIN replied to Chimio's topic in General Nursing

    One of the best tools I've ever invested in as a nurse is the Illumivein light. It doesn't replace skill but it is a great tool to reassure that you found a good vein before poking around. I use it in...

  2. Male nurses- I need your help

    Z0LIN replied to TaylsRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    As a male nurse, I wouldn't go for it. Although I like nurse related items this wouldn't be something I would spend money on. This is something that I feel a lot of new graduates / students would be...

  4. Illumivein

    Z0LIN replied to Jmarty31's topic in General Nursing

    I actually have one and love it! Although nothing will replace true IV and phlebotomy 'skill' the Illumivein is a tool to help you find something on a hard stick patient. I work ICU and have had...

    Z0LIN replied to caremerc's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    As an LPN you can challenge into I believe the 3rd semester of the program. I hear the exam to challenge is difficult so make sure you study. I did not go in as an LPN but I had many classmates that...

  10. NJBON how long to receive license?

    Z0LIN replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  11. Cost vs. NCLEX Pass Rate vs. Reputation?

    Z0LIN replied to kspotts's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    NJCU has an excellent program. No hospital cares where you got your degree. They just want to know that you have some kind of BSN, your license #, and any experience. I'd go with NJCU 100% .... BTW...

  12. NJBON how long to receive license?

    Z0LIN replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Z0LIN replied to SBern9886's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The hospitals in nj will train you. You will not get a job though unless you have some kind of previous training (CNA, nursing student, home health etc) or unless you know someone. It's all about who...
