  1. I don't know where to apply

    33762FL replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best bargain for a 4-year BSN is your state university system: Rutgers and Thomas Edison state College of NJ have 4-year BSN, I don't know if any of the others in NJ do. Your other option is to...

  2. Incredibly Easy Books

    33762FL replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I had the Med Surg Made Incredibly Easy (still have it and read it) in place of using a Med Surg textbook, Pediatric Nusing MAE in place of text, and Critical Care MAE. I also had ECG Interpretation...

  3. Incredibly Easy Books

    33762FL replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I love those books. I always bought them in nursing school and used them instead of the official textbooks, which were too dense and repetitive. After graduation I kept the Made Incredibly Easy books...

  4. What would you do if you received more scholarship money than you needed.

    33762FL replied to Student4_life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Assuming it's legitimate rather than a computer error, I'd talk to the school to see that it's applied to next semester's tuition for

  5. Get married during nursing school??

    33762FL replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Students

    I don't know where you live or what your expenses are, but $10K is pocket change if you guys are on your own and paying rent. You both should get part time jobs if you can, to help hold you over until...

  6. Get married during nursing school??

    33762FL replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, it sounds like you're going through a lot. I know there is risk that goes along with everything in life (getting married), we can never truly be guaranteed a good outcome. Best wishes to...

  7. Get married during nursing school??

    33762FL replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Students

    If you wait until you're older and have been working a while, you'll have much more to spend on your wedding and new combined life together. Your wedding is special, it's not just another party so...

  8. interview dress code....

    33762FL replied to LevitateMe's topic in General Nursing

    I also want to add: wear minimal jewelry. Pearls are always a good choice, you can go wrong with pearl studs and a pearl strand unless they're over-sized. Only wear nose jewelry if it's for cultural...

  9. interview dress code....

    33762FL replied to LevitateMe's topic in General Nursing

    Ideally, you want to wear a

  10. Can a licensed nurse still work as a nursing assistant in New Jersey?

    33762FL replied to Stefanie2011's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    As far as I've ever known, no. Once you pass NCLEX you can't work as a CNA in NJ. Call the BON to be 100% sure on

  11. BA Holder: Repeating GeneralEd Classes

    33762FL replied to SecondWind1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That isn't normal. What school is this, a for-profit that just wants to gouge you for ever dime possible? Or was your first degree from someplace like ITT Tech or Devry where the credits don't...

    33762FL replied to springgarden's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i used to work in hr before i got into nursing. i wasn't in the healthcare industry but general job-search information applies across any industry. 1 -- do i need a cover letter? absolutely. make each...

  13. Should I go to nursing school?

    33762FL replied to BritneyNicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd start by asking yourself these questions: What programs are in your area? How much do they cost? Can you afford it? How do you plan to pay? Do you have to work during nursing school and how many...

  14. thomas edison state college RN-BSN?

    33762FL replied to xdelitezx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    they advisor on the phone suggested that new students start with either Informatics or Health Assessment, so I went with Informatics. I'll do Health Assessment for the next session that starts after...

  15. thomas edison state college RN-BSN?

    33762FL replied to xdelitezx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm just starting my first class with them, which runs from 9/26 until 12/17. I am only taking one 3-credit class for now because I am still on orientation for work, but I assume that once you're off...

  16. IF I Don't get into Nursing School Should I go for LPN first?

    33762FL replied to mamaxmaria's topic in LPN to RN

    Go for the LPN if you don't get into either of those nursing schools. You can do the LPN through your local community college at the lowest possible cost. DO NOT enroll in a 4-year BSN that you can't...

  17. what is best rn school in jersey?

    33762FL replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    US News & World Report ranks colleges based on SAT scores of the entering freshmen and percentage of applicants the school accepts. Schools do a lot of marketing in order to boost applications,...

  18. thomas edison state college RN-BSN?

    33762FL replied to xdelitezx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My experience with TESC: You need a certain number of credits in science and a certain number in math. You need microbiology and A&P 1+2 but the remaining science credits can come from any...

  19. I should have become a teacher!!!!

    33762FL replied to NayD_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you think it's hard to find a job as an RN you surely don't want to be looking for a job as a teacher. Teaching got WAY over-saturated in the last decade and there are very few jobs for new...

  20. ACLS text

    33762FL replied to mstacyi's topic in General Nursing

    when I took ACLS I used the copy of "ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy" that I already had. It has all the ACLS algorithms in the back and that was really all I needed for the class. I didn't...

  21. RN-BSN

    33762FL replied to peanut2011's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are plenty of cheaper options. Many state university systems now have online RN-BSN degrees. Try looking at your own state's program first, in-state is always the best bargain. If that doesn't...

  22. Social Network and Hiring...Employers use your posts

    33762FL replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    My personal philosophy is that we all lived without social media up until a few years ago, so there's no reason we can't continue to live in the pre-facebook days when you actually emailed your close...

  23. Good on-line adn-bsn program?

    33762FL replied to 1uvakindmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Try looking at your state university system first - Umass Boston has an online RN-BSN program, and if you're in MA that is probably your least expensive option, not to mention you'll have a degree...

  24. What are your other degrees in?

    33762FL replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    I have a BA in English from a private liberal arts college. Ironically, I hate reading fiction and hate poetry even more. (I love to read about nursing,

  25. looking for RN to BSN program w/o Chem prereq

    33762FL replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I shopped around for an RN-BSN program for the same reason, as I didn't want to have to waste time and money in a 100 level chemistry class after I was already a nurse. Here are the two I found: No...
