  1. lazy mean assistants

    JessiekRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    As a nursing student who worked as an aide over the summer, I had the opportunity to kind of see this from both angles. While I really sympathize with nurses who are frustrated by poor work ethics on...

  2. Job for a student

    JessiekRN replied to hansen32's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I know St. Joseph's in Paterson just hired a bunch of nursing students as Patient Care Associates (translation= nurse's aides).. Also, it might be a little late at this point, but did you consider...

  3. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    JessiekRN replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    Asking family members about their various symptoms and diseases.. my mom has had colitis for a while and while I was studying for my fourth exam, which included GI, I kept bothering her for her...

  4. scared of final!!

    JessiekRN replied to RNmom08's topic in General Students

    Hi.. I'm in the same boat. I had an 81.8 average before our fourth exam last week. I don't want to make excuses.. but my grandfather passed away the Friday before Thursday's exam. I thought I was...

  5. I'm a Medications Menace

    JessiekRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Okay I have to admit I am a bit confused by your post... "meds are all small stuff"?? What am I missing

  6. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    JessiekRN replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Hi again guys.. I wanted to thank those who addressed my post; looking back I realize nothing is as one-sided or black-and-white as it seems. I do empathize with the OP.. as I said, I am still a...

  7. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    JessiekRN replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Talk about burnout... I'm a nursing student and usually come around here for the sense of solidarity and optimism I need to get through endless amounts of work and to remind myself this will all pay...

  8. 100% dosage calculations?

    JessiekRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    I feel better.. at least I'm in good company- our first semester we had to have an 85% to pass, every following semester, we have to have a 100%, which sounds very unlikely to someone who still is...

  9. Classmates!

    JessiekRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    Hey.. I just started NS a month and a half ago and I felt so bad when I read your post, cause in that short a time I've seen a lot go on in my class... I guess when you have 70 or so (mostly) girls in...

  10. Is Nursing School Hard?

    JessiekRN replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only about a month in... just wanted to say though that I'm not finding the material very difficult, just the amount of hours that need to be put in, as well as juggling the different components...

  11. Nursing Kit? and Lab Kit?

    JessiekRN replied to traumaQN's topic in General Students

    I had to order mine from Coursey Enterprises also- but mine was significantly less expensive- I suppose different school have different requirements, and the kit includes different things?? Now I'm...

  12. Nursing Kit? and Lab Kit?

    JessiekRN replied to traumaQN's topic in General Students

    Hi RNgrad2008... just wanted to let you know, my school also requires us to purchase a "nursing kit", without having let anyone know exactly what it is- I'm still not sure, even though I've paid for...

  13. Passaic Community College

    JessiekRN replied to espikey's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hi Espikey! I don't know very much about the LPN-RN program, but I start PCCC'S regular ASN program this September. I've been taking my prereqs there for two years, and I really, really love it. I...

  14. Thank you to the endo nurse who took such good care of me

    JessiekRN replied to MG-NotANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi MG! I'm not a nurse yet, either (give me two years, though!), but I imagine the world needs a lot more people like you- people who really appreciate what others do and take the time to acknowledge...

  15. Question for ADN's

    JessiekRN replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ladyflower. After graduating with my BA, I decided to go back for my nursing degree, and I pretty much had to start from the beginning, because although I had taken my compositions and core...

  16. Do you think I'm overreacting?

    JessiekRN replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Fifi- when I decided to go into nursing, almost everyone I told was skeptical, most especially my parents- I had failed chemistry in high school, and math was, and still is, one of my weakest...

  17. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

    JessiekRN replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you both so much, you've reassured me a lot.. I'm definitely going to apply to more than one school- probably Rutgers and Seton Hall as well. Good luck to you in the nursing program and thanks...

  18. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

    JessiekRN replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Everyone.. I was hoping someone could help me out here.. I'm currently taking my prerequisites for the accelerated BSN program, for fall of 2006, hopefully, and my GPA in those classes is very...
