Hey guys, I saw that there was no post for our group so I decided to create on. How is everyone doing with their Hesi? Also, is someone who is accepted into their program declines admission, do they open up a spot for someone else?
thanks. also, i wanted to know on top of the nursing kit and uniforms, we need a stethoscope, penlights, bandage scissors, pocket drug manual, anything else?
Having worked in a LTC facility for the past few months, I can say that generally there is little difference in the way patients interact with male nurses as opposed to female nurses. Expectations may be different; people expect guys to perform more...
SleepyRN - So so true. It really does depend on your shift though. You will learn to love continent patients lol. LightX - In my state you can't get a job as a PCA/CNA/PCT as a nurse. However, they will let you keep the job if you are already work...
It might be easier to secure a job first in a LTC/nursing home. Also it REALLY helps to have a awesome cover letter. In the cover letter, be specific and do your research. Instead of "to whom it may concern", address the HR recruiter or nurse mana...
I am sorry to say this, but it really does depend on the level of difficulty, the flexibility of the professor, and your study skills. During my PCT program, I went to school part time (taking courses such as A&P). For me, the PCT course was no...
Hey guys, I am currently working as a CNA in a nursing home and will soon (if my interview go well) start working as a PCT in a hospital. I don't have hospital experience, however I can say that I was surprised by the work nurses do at nursing homes...
Do you feel it is necessary to buy the newest editions of the textbooks? Also, are there some textbooks you would suggest to just rent (if its still cheaper than buying and reselling) as opposed to buy?
kaitlynelisabeth, what is the key to success in the nursing program given that about 50% of the original cohort does not make it to the NCLEX? Also, I heard that regardless of the sections you chose (ie. 181-101, 181-102, 181-103) that you are random...
Happy happy joy joy! I was also admitted into the nursing program. I heard that they are getting a new dean. Does anyone know anything about her and her goals?
Where do you find the class average on the evolve website?? Also, I can't wait to meet those who got into the program, supposing that I do get in. We should get together as a cohort to build rapport!
Sorry Heathierose, I was speaking about Bergen Community College. Bergen Students: Do you know what the averages are on the science portions? Also do you know how long after the April 12 (when the last students take the exam) until the administration...
