  2. Can i have a job during the nursing program?

    NightBloomCereus replied to marisab's topic in General Students

    How about finish your first semester and see then if you think you can take it on? Myself and most of my classmates work, and where I'm from the only new grads getting hired right away are the ones...

  3. How do you get to sleep?

    NightBloomCereus replied to eva123's topic in General Students

    I sleep best if I'm taking care of myself on the whole, especially by eating right and working out regularly. It also helps to have balance by doing things not related to school and keeping a...

    NightBloomCereus replied to kaimkaim's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are you sure you're getting the Grey's junior cut and not Misses? There's a big difference. Also try Koi Lindsey pant XXS and Katelyn top, as well as Wink Utility Girl

  5. New Grad RN Internship Worth it?

    NightBloomCereus posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a nursing student who works in a hospital that does not hire new grads, but they have a new grad internship program open to internal applicants only. I know if I do it, I will likely get hired in...

  6. New Grad RN Internship Worth it?

    NightBloomCereus replied to NightBloomCereus's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you, everyone, for your responses. I really appreciate it. I live in a metro area where it is very difficult for new grads, especially ADN's like myself, to find work. There are lots of colleges...

  7. Bummed about first round of nursing school tests.

    NightBloomCereus replied to EMT89's topic in General Students

    You're doing great. Nursing school exams take a while to get used to. My instructor told us that if we want to pass the NCLEX, we should be getting nothing lower than a 75, preferably 78. It sounds...

  8. How many chapters have you been assigned??

    NightBloomCereus replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    4 per semester. 3 and a final, with both old and new material on the final. It's a lot right before a test, but totally

    NightBloomCereus replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

  10. Community College of Philadelphia Fall 2012

    NightBloomCereus posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Anyone applying to CCP for next fall? Has anyone taken the Allied Health Test who can give some tips? At the info session they said they get 1,000 applications and accept 140. Right now I have 6...

  11. Finding time to exercise

    NightBloomCereus replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    I also didn't have time to go to the gym once I started NS, so I ditched my membership. Now I do P90X at home 3-5 days a week. No commute time, no babysitter needed, and you can even break the...

  12. petite scrubs

    NightBloomCereus replied to jordanmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm 5'2'' 105-110lbs size 0-2 and carry what little weight I have in my hip/thigh area. This is what works for me: -Koi Lindsey pants XS (I buy regular but they come in petite) -Koi Katelyn top XS...

  13. Weight gain?

    NightBloomCereus replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    I started to gain but put a stop on it by doing P90X 4-5 times a week in the basement (no gym commute needed) and tracking what I eat through the myfitnesspal app. I also try to shop smart and keep...

  14. PRN PCTs how often do you work?

    NightBloomCereus replied to Kdrenee's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work PRN and have to commit to only 4 shifts a month, and two of them have to be weekends. It's totally doable! PRN/per diem/Pool (too many names for the same thing) are structured in this way and...

  15. Finish Strong or Experience?

    NightBloomCereus replied to dionacollazo's topic in General Students

    I work every other weekend in a hospital as a clerk, and 4 days a month as a home care aide for another organization. The hospital I work for will only hire new grads if they already work there. You...

  16. Why do some colleges have waitlists while others do not?

    NightBloomCereus replied to DCtooRN's topic in General Students

    Different ways the schools are dealing with the high volume of applicants. Some place everyone on a waiting list, and others only accept the top applicants. Rather than sitting on a 2-year waiting...

  17. starting nursing classes in spring 2013, what should I be studying now...

    NightBloomCereus replied to sjc11's topic in General Students

    I also tried to study prior to starting the program, and honestly there is not a whole lot you can do to prepare study-wise. Everything will be really new and will come at you fast, so it's hard to...

  18. Anatomy and Physiology I Difficulty

    NightBloomCereus replied to RNtobe2016's topic in General Students

    I took A&P I in a condensed 7-week term (which was crazy) and I'm taking A&P II with Nursing (also crazy). Lots of people failed out, but I'm one of the few who's gotten only A's and here's...

  19. Religion in Nursing

    NightBloomCereus replied to NICU:)'s topic in General Students

    Several posters mentioned the separation of church and state. First, let me clarify what this means. Separation of church and state is means that we don't make laws based on religion, but also means...

  20. Never live with a fellow student!

    NightBloomCereus replied to missk88's topic in General Students

    It's irritating just to read about what you're going through. I'm so sorry to hear this. Your roommate is bringing you down emotionally and eventually it could affect your grades as well, so you have...

  21. 2012 CCP Nursing program

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, and I was happy with my grade, too. The things I got wrong were from the minor topics I knew I should study but didn't have time to. I was mostly fine with the...

  22. 2012 CCP Nursing program

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Elevated BP, elevated HR, anxiety, headache, confusion...what could it be? Oh, these are the symptoms of having our first test

  23. Is it easier to get a job if you already work in hospital?

    NightBloomCereus replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I work as a clerk in a hospital and right now they're hiring new RN's ONLY if they're internal applicants. If you're in an ASN or diploma program you might want to focus on trying to get a job in a...

  24. 2012 CCP Nursing program

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just did some research and found out it's against PA state regulations for students to start IV's in the clinical setting. I guess it's an on the job training thing. If no other PA students are...

  25. 2012 CCP Nursing program

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Wait, that can't be right. Where did you hear this? I thought those were basic nursing skills. Who is going to hire a nurse who can't even start an IV? I'll be disappointed if they don't teach us...
