I personally spoke to Katie for my podcast, and she told me that for NY MED, they needed interesting nurses and she was one of the chosen ones. No one wants to watch boring tv. It's always easy to make assumptions and more about someone until you act...

I interview Katie for my podcast and she is a great person. She helps and supports all those around her. The actual issue is there are blurred lines with how something that is integral to society like social media is feared rather than being understo...

Hi there! Congratulations on your success. I too would e grateful if you could email me the materials. [email protected] sorry to be a bother. I am waiting for my ATT and looking forward to taking my boards soon. I pray for continued success in your...

captainmeowbot Be aware that where ever you are in life, there are exceptions to every rule. To get a job as a nurse, you DON'T have to have had hospital experience. Of course, it puts you at an advantage to work in a hospital and it would help you o...

Congrats NurseLoveJoy88. You significant other can't have picked a more perfect time. For not only will you efficiently get married, but will also be enthused, happy, and a bit hard on using time. I wouldn't be surprised if you have your lectures wit...

for me, it's 13 more days... it's my last semester in nursing.

I don't know about everyone else, but being my last semester, I have a set plan of finishing in May '12 and taking my NCLEX at the first available date. So taking a break is not all the way an option. I've been doing my readings and working and liste...

It's all good. Whether you get an externship or not bears no closure on you getting a job period. What do I mean by that? It means that upon passing the nclex, it may take you 6 months average to a year maximum ( though I have seen people who got job...

Thank you all for your input. I am building myself up with my notes and keeping an eye on the class notes for the 4th and last semester of nursing school so that i'll have a much more interesting time finishing up as opposed to those who are just lea...

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone has put up a post that addresses my situation. I'm a nursing student at PCCC and have to retake Maternity and Peds this spring. I've spoke with the Dean, and basically, the retake will have to be postponed till this Fall, w...

Hmmm..... Thanks for the advice. As much as I want to continue, I missed that aspect on the outlook of the situation.

By the way, I think your med-surg book for nursing 2 is still the same. I can email you the syllabus and the exam grid + the pharmacology exam questions so you can hit the ground with your sneakers on, ready to run. Let me know.

Glad to hear that you are blocking out the negativity. One thing's for sure, nursing 2 is different. The books below were helpful in nursing 2. If you are able to, you can take a trip to the barnes and nobles in Clifton during the semester and do qu...

Congrats NJgirl! I bet you'll be celebrating this Christmas like its your first. I guess I might've seen you around as I had nursing 3 at Passaic this fall as well. What a semester it was! Best of luck in the semester to come.

Congrats Michelle and Dee! Also for some reason, I never got any updates sent to my email, so I've not been on here in a while. Did either of you take Microbiology with Prof Areche in the evening at PCCC? I was in that class and I also saw a lot of c...

Hi there, I'm guessing you've taken (and passed) your Nclex. Just wanted to congratulate you and best of luck on job hunting or (if you've been hired) best of luck I've got a year to go and have a summer externship at a hospital for the summer

Thanks for the advice. I have heard that the foot in the door always puts one at an advantage, and I intend to do so

I am also a black male nursing student (23) with 1 more year to go in an ADN program in Jersey. I also got an externship for the summer (either Tele or Ortho). There's 2 or 3 more in nursing 1, and one that I know of in Nursing 4

Hello, I am also on the path to become a CRNA and have one more year to go in a ADN program in North Jersey. I also got an externship position that's 8 weeks long and unpaid. Nevertheless, I accepted it. I also wanted ICU, but after talking with a Di...

Hello! I just got accepted for a Summer externship at Warren Hospital on New Jersey. Any one else get one?

Hello there, I don't know about your institution, but I would like to dispel thoughts about your program being the most difficult to get in to. From GA to even here in New Jersey, there's the same story all around about nursing school's being difficu...

I can relate to you on feeling like a groupie, but sometimes, I myself have been nosy enough to ask questions, I remember once, I just went right up to some nursing students who were studying and I actually got some tips on certain things to in the f...

By the way, there's always upper class students willing to help in any way they can. I made friends with a good number of them in nursing 1, and I gotta say that with the little tid bits that they provide on mistakes they made, and bits of info, the ...

Hello dtsh26 I haven't been on here in a while, and I'm happy to see a fellow PCCC comrade joining the good fight Funny enough, I was about taking Micro this summer myself, along with some of my class buddies, so you'll probably rub elbows with som...
