Hi everyone. I also plan for applying for the Spring 2021 semester. But since it is a newer program just wanted to know how are people liking the program so far?

Here at the hospital. Worked my shift. Got a bed. Sleeping here. In the am we are prepared for anything.

Yes. In acutes for bedside patients we have 1:1 and in the unit it's 1:2. We don't even have techs. On a bust day depending on census we may have up to 4 shifts. But usually it's about 2 shifts per nurse. Btw I'm in New Jersey. Ratios may vary from s...

In our facility it is mainly an infection control issue. Most of our LTC pts are diapered. And it is rarely a problem. A few times we had the patients family come clean the patient. But we do not have the supplies on the unit because it put the othe...

From your previous post I see you work within the SBHCS. You should try another facility. In system transfers have to much easier than when you were first starting out Plus you have a very valid reason for wanting more stability. Good luck. Thinks wi...

Fresenius hire new grads. Go in the facility ask for the clinic manager and hand him/her your app and pray for the best. Lol! Good luck to you

Go to the Blue Area or the allied health/nursing building. You will get better information from there.

I did micro separately. But you know yourself better than anyone. Nursing 108 and 233 are really challenging and they are both about 9 credits so that gives you an idea of how much time you need to spend on it. Good luck and CONGRATS!

Be patient guys. ECC is SLOW. Very slow. Lol

If you want to be a nurse go for. Anytime you want to start there will be 100 reasons not to. I started school when my son was 8 weeks and my daughter was 9. I made it and the kids are fine. Let go of the excuses and find a way if nursing is what you...

I'm thankful that this holiday season I am employed as a Professional Nurse. And as a new grad I happy 3 options for employment in this economy. Feeling very blessed. And thank goodness I have a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Makes life much easier. ;-...

If you are currently in a Nursing program and finished your first semester of Clinicals you do not have to take a CNA course. Visit NJ department of Health and Senior Service website there is a link where you can fill out an app to become a license C...

Good Luck to all of you guys! The NET is not that bad. Just basic info. Most ppl find the read hard because it is timed. I never got a copy of my NET back the just mailed me a letter that I passed and they went from there. Just remember to stay up on...

Not to further Hi-Jack-But Holy Cow we had 1 care plan a week and literally need naps after clinical. Lol Hope you find Nursing better now.

Hey Guys! I am a former student of ECC. I graduated May 2011-RN Day Program and FYI there is no waiting list. Entry is based on grades and entrance exam score. If you pass and have the appropriate gpa I believe 2.5 overall and 3.0 in your sciences. T...

I was in the same boat as you are now. But honestly going to HR makes a huge difference. To find a job as a new grad you have to be aggressive. Network, make calls, and go into HR offices. Applying online may work some times, but as you will read her...

Thanks for the info 

I'm going to chronic out patient I believe. R u working for FmC in a hospital?

Lmbo!

For graduation I got an ipod touch! yeah! But with my RN pay I am purchasing a brand new top of the line bed and mattress. Sleep is important to me

Thanks for the suggestion. I did send an email to the agency inquiring about a possible referral. They family is trying it's best I must admit. It is definitely not a neglect issue more of old apartment and outside factors. Hope I didn't over step my...

Hi All, Not sure if this is considered private duty or HH, but I am a new grad doing pediatric home care. I actually like the job so far. Low stress. Nice family. Sweet patient......BUT I work the night shift and the house is ridden with roaches and ...

Thanks for the reponses. I am so worried about offending the family. They are not filthy people by any means but the apartment is just infested. I will ask my NM for a for some type of social worker intervention. Even though it really bothers me, I t...

In general if hired by an employer outside of your original state of licensing can u work temporarily while waiting for the New state license? For example I am a new grad RN from NJ. I just relocated to PA and have a job interview. I'm wondering if t...

10/hr as an RN with experience. That's bananas.
