I graduated from PCCC in May 2010 and passed my NCLEX on the first try in 75 questions. I felt very prepared for it. The tests are hard but so is the NCLEX. I think everyone I graduated with, passed the NCLEX on their first try. Some of the profe...

Just make sure before you piggyback the med on that they are compatible... If they aren't then you have to start another line.

I'm working at St. Joe's in Paterson.

I know that Holy Name Hospital School of Nursing has housing. The only thing is, when I went there there was only 1 person living in the dorms. I think that med students would sleep there too if they were on call.

I just graduated from nursing school in May and the way that one of the hospitals let us give meds was our teacher had her own username and password for the Pyxis and she would sign in and then we would get our meds out and then she would check them....

Well when I went for my interview at a huge trauma center in my area, the nurse recruiter told me that she "trusts" the nurses that graduated from the community college I graduated from more then some of the universities in our area. I got the job ...

You get the same degree as someone who took it at a 4 yr school. Hospitals aren't going to care if you did it in 4 years of 15 months. Nurses apply to hospitals with a BSN, AS, or diploma. Most hospitals don't go too much into the education unles...

I sell all my old books on half.com... Other students buy the books so you get a higher price. You just have to list them and wait for someone to buy it. I would put them on now bc classes are starting so they might need your books

This is a personal experience with my grandmother who died of renal failure while i was in nursing school. Let me start by saying my grandma was so proud that i was going into nursing school, she would tell everyone "I'm going to have a little nurse...

I went to a hospital based nursing school in NJ for 1 semester and we had to do the same thing. We had to wash the face, arms, back, and legs. And then we had to cream the students back and feet. We had to then tell the teacher how we would wash t...

Make sure in your cover letter that you somewhere say something about the hospitals mission statement... Like this is what I wrote in my cover letter --- St. XXX Regional Medical Center's dedication to patients is evident. I would love the chan...

This is the stethoscope that I have and it works great. I bought mine on medisave.net bc it was the cheapest and they have coupon codes as well. And they do free engraving!

I might be wrong because I have only been an RN for 1 month... But we learned in nursing school that when you are about to give your meds, you compare the MAR to the doctors orders and make sure everything adds up. I know this takes a long time, but ...

passaic county community college offers the bridge program.

In nursing school we learned the 7 rights of med administration Right Patient Right Medication Right Dose Right Time Right Route Right Documentation Right to Refuse

I loved Micro when I took it. I used a study guide book called Microbiology The Easy Way... it was a really great study guide. I have it listed on half.com if anyone is interested in buying it let me know.

NJ renews everyone the end of May. And its every 2 years. So people go one year, others go the following year. Do you have to do all your continuing education hours in those couple of months?

Before I became a nurse I used to work in a Cardiologist. I did Nuclear Stress testing with the doctor. I went for my pap smear and my cells came back abnormal. For the life of me I can't remember what they were called. But my gyno told me that t...

I just got a job as an RN in a hospital in North Jersey and I'm a new grad... So they are hiring... And I didn't work their while I was in school .... ohh and by the way I also didn't spend my free time on Facebook playing Farmville either

i did the generic program. If you do the bridge program, you take nursing 2 (med surg) in the summer which it was hard for the full semester, so I would assume its even more challanging in a shorter time. And then after you pass nursing 2, you meet...

I graduated from here last May... What kind of questions do you have about the program?

I am a new grad (May 2010) and I just started at a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon last month. I am working with him on his regular skin cancer removal surgeries and then his cosmetic surgeries. We also do Botox, Juvederm, Zerona and many laser ...

PS:: I don't know what size you are.... But I have my old uniform tops from there. I only used them for 1 semester and then transferred so they are still in good shape. They are either a size Small or Medium

I went to this school (2005). I didn't dorm, and actually only one girl in both classes dormed. She was in the room all by her self. The med students would sleep there if they didn't have a place to go or they had to stay at the hospital. Dorming t...

Hi guys, I recently graduated from PCCC and I am now selling my books. I have many NCLEX books that were recommend/required by the teachers and were often used by the teachers to get material for their tests. I have: Focus on nursing pharmacology b...
