Hi Everyone, I am in need of sound advice or personal opinions of anyone who is interested in sharing their experience and choices. I currently have 1.5 years of nursing experience (actively working full time) on the pulmonary/med-surg unit in a teac...

That would be the logical next step. Thank you.

I definitely understand your point of being unable to set reasonable boundaries and becoming too emotionally invested which does of course concern me. I also do not have any experience other than nursing school rotations in mental health. I do know t...

Thank you PsychGuy for your response. I read your replies to previous threads also and must say you have accomplished what many strive for in the advance nursing practice. I did look into the option of a post masters certification after completing A...

Name of my dog (yorkie) which means July in turkish

Congrats on the new job! I am also a new grad nurse, 3 months in. With me I always have my stethoscope, 4 color pen, alcohol wipes, scissors, tape, saline flushes (you need them for everything), 2x2 gauze, water bottle, and clipboard. You will figure...

Congrats on passing the NCLEX !!! I feel as though nursing school only gives you the foundation to start your career. Hands on experience you receive during orientation is crucial in adding a little bit of confidence to feel okay about hanging in th...

Northern NJ New Grad RN $33.65 base pay, $3 differential, $1.50 extra for weekends Rent depends on the area/city but the norm would be $1100-$1300 for a decent one bedroom apartment in a fairly nice area.

Do not stress too much about it, you took the test, it is over and you will find out soon enough. I took the NCLEX in March and also had all 265 questions. Lots of SATA, EKGs, and more than enough priority questions. My head was spinning after 4.5 ho...

-New Jersey -Graduated Dec. 2014, ABSN -NCLEX and license March 2015 -Had 2 interviews and 2 offers in April 2015 from a teaching hospital and rehab institute -Accepted offer from teaching hospital -Started orientation on Pulmonary unit May 11, 2015

I also did a second degree accelerated BSN in 15 months. Anyone with a previous degree can apply if you also have all the prerequisites done. Working full time is probably not feasible but I worked part time throughout the entire program with classes...

I received my ATT about two months after pinning. Our official graduation date was 3 weeks after that which is when everything is sent out to the BON, so a little over one month after the official graduation date. I did pay a visit to the BON to chec...

Hey baileyzt, I actually completed my ABSN at Rutgers (legacy of UMDNJ). I started looking for jobs after I received my license number which was at the end of March. I had two interviews and two offers right after. I only had experience in the dental...

I am also a new grad in NJ, passed NCLEX in March, and am excited to state that I will begin orientation in a well known hospital in 11 days!!! It is definitely possible by being determined and applying to different hospitals. I just kept a daily che...

Hello Everyone, I am a new member trying to get information about the UMDNJ ABSN program and thought the best and most accurate information would come from fellow students who have already successfully applied to the program. I am currently taking ...

First day of class today. Pathophysiology, Foundations, and Health Informatics. Lots and lots of information, dove right into the chapters, and lots of reading to do. I am in a 15 month ABSN so it is not a surprise but nerve racking nonetheless.

I put all my eggs in one basket and applied to only one and got accepted :) (ABSN Program in NJ). It is always better to have a backup nonetheless.

"I see you are taking the saying 'Instant Nurse Just Add Coffee' a little too seriously"

The info stated that we will get a complete book list during orientation. I could imagine the list being very long which will add to the expenses fairly quickly.

I just saw the email in my rutgers account. Yup, $136. Keeps adding up :)

If you can send it to my yahoo email I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Also, does it give a deadline by when we should have it.

Emine Karasekreter. Thank you for checking.

I didn't receive an email about the uniforms yet. Did it come after the orientation and Nalc program information?

Just to add... orientation is mandatory (I will definitely be there)... only the NALC program is optional... I didn't want to confuse anyone about that :)
