  1. In my first semester and want another baby

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I understand about baby fever. I had a 1 year old and was pregnant taking my prereqs, and had a 1 and 2 year old when I started nursing school. It was hard but it can be done! I had a ton of support...

  2. HELPPPPP !!!!!Failed nclex twice, last chance next

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Jaylen123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My nursing program used ATI, and I used Uworld which helped me the most. If you want to review content Saunders is good. I also used the NCLEX mastery app while I was on the go without my laptop. I...

  3. And Off I Go!

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with working as a part time CNA or PCA in a hospital setting while in school. I worked as a full time CNA while doing prerequisites, although part time is good too. When I was n nursing...

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't really have advice because I'm a new RN that has only been working in med-surg for 3 months. Just wanted to say congratulations! I work on a crazy unit, and I'm new but I love it so far. Good...

  5. UWorld vs. Kaplan

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Nursenikki786's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found Uworld to be the most helpful prep that I used, although I didn't do Kaplan. UWorld questions were almost just like NCLEX. My school used ATI, and I found the content to be good with ATI,...

  6. describe your typical day as a nurse

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to hvymtlnursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new med-surg RN in a medium size hospital. My day starts with looking up the patients in my group of 4-6, writing what time they get their meds and looking at abnormal labs and trends, then I...

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to SopranoKris's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. UB ABS 2015

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Silvvvvvv's topic in New York Nursing

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Silvvvvvv's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi! I just graduated from the ABS program. I had a 3.8 prereq gpa and a 3.1 overall. It depends on the rest of the applicants, but your chances are good

  10. Any nursing assistants???

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to FutureNurse305's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed the first time. The skills I had were hand washing (I believe everyone has to do that in my state), catheter care, feeding, and range of motion on the shoulder, elbow and wrist. Good luck

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to MOSmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Csutts1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Advice for landing a med/surg job as a brand new CNA?

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to NorthmanRig's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it depends on the hospital system. I work as a nurse assistant float in a hospital. It is good nursing experience because I float to the ER, ICU, tele, and med/surg, wherever they need me....

  16. Is there such a position as non certfied CNA

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work as a nurse assistant in a hospital. Although I have a CNA cert., it is only required in LTC in the health care system where I work. On the other hand, the hospital where I work usually hires...

  17. new frustrated cna!..advice needed

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to CNA_Angl27's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds as though your work environment is a bit toxic. I worked as a CNA in long term care before I got a job in a hospital, and my weakness was time management too. I did get recognition for...

  18. UB ABS 2015

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Silvvvvvv's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, a lot of students start classes without their final grades in from spring. My pharm grade from Cayuga wasn't in yet when we started either. They will wait but they tell you if your final grade...

  19. UB ABS 2015

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Silvvvvvv's topic in New York Nursing

    Congratulations guys! I'm in the program too...they do make you finish all your prereqs before classes start. The students who took pharm in the spring at UB had to arrange with the professor to take...

  20. Woohoo! I got in!

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to bamaguh1988's topic in General Students

    My advice is don't get behind on any of the work, because its almost impossible to catch up if you do. I started an accelerated program in May. Its fun but really tough. Congrats on becoming a mom!...

  21. CNA questions

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to Hopefullpirate's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work 2nd shift and in my location I make almost $14 as a CNA so it's not too bad. I'm also a BSN student and I think it helped me so much to work as a CNA. It is grunt work, but the residents need...

  22. New CNA

    jjmm RN,BSN replied to shermika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Everyone has a different way of doing things, that will come after a few months. I used to work 3-11 and something that helped me was putting my cloths, gown (if they wore ours) and a couple briefs...
