    flyersfan88 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    Psychiatric NP or CRNA....won't know if I like psych or the ICU better until I get to experience them though

  2. So far so good.

    flyersfan88 replied to iroberts2's topic in General Students

    Are you only in your first semester of actual nursing classes? I wouldn't jump the gun by saying "You took A&P, you can EASILY do this." I don't really find much truth to that, as it only gets...

  3. First Job Search

    flyersfan88 replied to crhoward13186's topic in General Students

    while I'm still a student, I am from the area and I know it is next to impossible to get a job in any area hospitals without a BSN. Most are reaching for Magnet status, so they're only willing to...

    flyersfan88 replied to beach_lover2's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I paid for my physical out of pocket which was $65, and it was like $25 for each vaccine I needed (at my physician). However, the bloodwork is INSANELY expensive, so shop around. I think my estimate...

  8. "Can't be a nurse if you suck as a waitress."

    flyersfan88 replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    I've been a server for years....if you've never served before you need to give yourself time to get into a groove. Don't be so hard on yourself. What I always told myself is to serve my customers the...

    In my a-bsn program, our health assessment lab is 3 hours consisting of skill demonstration then skill practice with higher level students/clinical instructors guiding us. Fundamentals lab is 6...

  11. Appearance?

    flyersfan88 replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in General Students

    I believe most nursing schools, if not all, will require you to cover tattoos during clinical, as well as have natural hair color. I would assume the same goes for hospitals/most prospective...

    flyersfan88 replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    It is important for you to remember that it is a dorm room, it is not YOUR room in which you are allowing someone else to crash there. It is just as much her room as it is yours. From my experience...

    flyersfan88 replied to mmichael09's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Sounds like you'll be fine. I did well in my major and my prereqs....but my grades were nothing incredibly impressive and I got in. However, I do have a very solid resume, references, and essay. As...

  17. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Spring 2013

    flyersfan88 replied to CCaralain's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Kim- I think that's a great idea. Also, if we make it a group instead of a page, we'll actually be able to see who is a part of the group! I noticed with just having a page that you "like", you can't...
