Hello, Have you had the opportunity to take the revised exam yet? I am interested in registering for it soon. Thanks,

I just had an interview last Thursday for a Staff RN position. I also applied for the Critical Care residency. They told me that they are still interviewing candidates although I do not see the position posted for the residency. I haven't gotten a ca...

are you a nursing student in nj? if so, then you do not have to take the cna course you would just have to take the state exam and pay the exam fee. if you are not a nursing student, I believe you would have to take the full cna course if i am not m...

In the end, I am kinda glad that I went straight for my BSN although it was expensive. As far as the quality of the courses and some of the instructors, I was a bit disappointed. There are some instructors who teach up to four courses. I found tha...

With hospitals closing in northern nj, it is not as easy to find a job. Hospitals like Valley and Hackensack are very selective and want "cream of the crop" students. I went to school in north jersey and live in central nj. I applied for 13 positi...

I will be graduating from Ramapo this Friday with my BSN. It took me 5 years to complete the nursing program because I switched my major. At Ramapo, you either are placed at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood or Englewood. If you live on campus, Vally i...

I do clinical at Valley and the HR woman came to speak to us and would not quote a starting salary but said that it is somewhere around $26-28 per hour. From what I hear, Valley is one of the lower paying hospitals in Bergen County.

I know an LPN who got her RN through Brookdale approx. a year ago and if i'm not mistaken, I believe that she had to take Bio 111,112, and Micro. But there was some sort of challenge program for LPNs so it didn't take her as long. I did my science...

make sure that you do an excellent cover letter that explains any relative work experience and extracurricular activities. When I applied last year, Sheri told me that she pays extra attention to the cover letter so that is what I spent most of my t...

Have you tried the ATI books? I know that they do have an ATI leadership book that may help.

I am from NJ and did my externship at UCLA this past summer. It is a 6 week program which is good because you go at the end of May and you are finished mid July and you have the rest of your summer. Not to mention, you only work 3 days a week and ...

I also just recently purchased a used pair on ebay for about $25 because I have had problems with my heel. I am def convinced and I plan on investing in a new pair for nursing school this Fall.

I am going into my last year of a BSN program and I personally don't think that you need medical terminology and/or phlebotomy. These are things that you will pick up rather quickly.

What year are you? I was thinking of doing the same thing. Do you feel like you were prepared to work in the ER based on your training? Are you allowed to do anything invasive i.e. blood draws etc.?

It also depends on your instructor. Ask your instructor how they would prefer you to compose your concept map. I purchased the Schuster book to help me along the way and my instructors have liked my concept maps.

the application deadline has passed already, but here is the website http://hr.healthcare.ucla.edu/

I have just received news that I was accepted into the program. Have you gotten any news?

The same exact thing happened to me while in clinical. I think that it's the mask and all of the above! I will be going through OB rotations this semester and am scared to death about witnessing a C-section. I thought that I was the only one who f...

I desperately need help with this one.... I have just completed my first semester of nursing school and enjoyed it very much. I have been a CNA for two years and can deal with poop, urine, and vomit, but when it comes to blood, I get EXTREMLY queasy...

Thank you for the reassurance, I'm sure that with time, I will be able to deal with it. QUOTE=calla2114;2004411]Well...from my experience most nurses have one thing that gets to them...mine is mucus...ack! But you know I am going into my last semes...
