  1. Improving NP Education

    MurseJJ replied to matthewandrew's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    MurseJJ replied to matthewandrew's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    MurseJJ replied to jessyb's topic in New York Nursing

    Ok awesome, that sounds great, I'll do that, thanks a lot. I think I might also get the Study Guide for the Fundamentals book. In the syllabus she highly recommends it, so I guess we should get it....

  6. Cochran school of Nursing vs. Montefiore School of Nursing

    MurseJJ replied to benBAJ234's topic in New York Nursing

    My hospital in NYC isn't really hiring anymore ADNs. Two people I know that got jobs as ADNs recently worked at our hospital for some time as PCAs/techs, and immediately went into the RN-BSN program...

    MurseJJ replied to jessyb's topic in New York Nursing

    MurseJJ replied to jessyb's topic in New York Nursing

    MurseJJ replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Somewhat related to the topic: the VP of Cardiac Services for the health system my hospital is a part of is an NP with a DNP. Whenever she is mentioned in an email, they refer to her as "Ms." They...

    MurseJJ replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I currently work as a PCA, and will be starting my BSN in September. I've seen this as well. And you express the same mentality I plan on having as an

  13. College of New Rochelle Traditional BSN Fall 2014?

    MurseJJ posted a topic in New York Nursing

    So I just got my acceptance a couple hours ago (weird how some of these schools send out the decision email in the evening)! Just wondering if anyone else is considering CNR, currently attends, has...

  15. Buy nursing books from School bookstore or other websites?!

    MurseJJ replied to a0646504's topic in General Students

    I'm using Amazon for all of my textbooks. One of the RNs I work with said I should buy books that will be helpful in the future (whether for the NCLEX or in practice), such as the texts for health...

  16. Which prereqs are the most relevant to nursing?

    MurseJJ replied to lux libertas's topic in General Students

    Right. Some ADN programs do not include a pathophysiology course, but will cover relevant pathophysiological content in each specific nursing course (I should also note that RN-BSN programs typically...

    MurseJJ replied to MurseJJ's topic in New York Nursing

  18. Will my tattoos hold me back?

    MurseJJ replied to MLutiker's topic in General Students

    In my hospital there are RNs, MDs, PAs, NPs, PCAs, etc with tattoos. No one seems to care, so I think this depends on the hospital. I have noticed that most nursing schools have a rule where tattoos...

  19. Is it OK to say no to a nurse?

    MurseJJ replied to MsPebbles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, it is okay to say no to a nurse. I work as a PCA (starting BSN in September) on a busy floor as well (though I couldn't imagine having 15 patients!), and there are indeed times where it is...

  21. Minimum level of experience for FNP

    MurseJJ replied to grumpygorillaface's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually look at PA forums. They have the same discussion about quality healthcare experience prior to PA school, without the ridiculous notion about grad school not doing a good job preparing...

  22. How hard is basic anatomy and pysiology

    MurseJJ replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with others that anatomy and physiology isn't that difficult, it's just a lot of information that you have to spend time going over. While your friends in certain other non-health-related...

  23. ADN, ABSN or PA

    MurseJJ replied to Jaz2angel's topic in General Students

    My suggestion would be to go ADN if that will be the quickest way into nursing school for you. Finish whatever prerequisite courses you have remaining with As, nothing less. Perhaps you can also...

  24. Taking Pharm before Patho?

    MurseJJ replied to phiaflyy's topic in General Students

    I'm also another one that has pharm before patho. I even asked if I could take the first semester of patho (they divide the 4 credit course into two 2 credit courses) with pharm, and they said no, it...
