  1. How long after passing NCLEX for NY BON to activate my license?

    jess.mont replied to Papoc's topic in Nursing Career

    That is very strange. You don't see any results on the NYS Verifications Search when you put in your name?

  2. How long after passing NCLEX for NY BON to activate my license?

    jess.mont replied to Papoc's topic in Nursing Career

    Mine posted nine days after I passed the NCLEX; I'm in

  3. Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    jess.mont replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There is most likely a policy that says you can't check your own blood sugar with hospital supplies (that's what our hospital policy is) because you are technically stealing equipment and a billable...

  4. Microbiology course online?

    jess.mont replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's really an individual choice. For me, it was the last non-nursing class I needed and I didn't want to drive to campus three days a week just to take one class. Also, my nursing program was...

  5. Microbiology course online?

    jess.mont replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do each experiment at home and document the procedures with photos. The microbiological concepts used in nursing that are covered in the average micro class are pretty basic,

  6. Microbiology course online?

    jess.mont replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it last Summer, learned a lot, and enjoyed it. As others have said, make sure your school will accept an online science class first. You do all the experiments at home. It runs every...

  7. Stupid questions ahead... can someone tell me about prerequisites?

    jess.mont replied to Sharasai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, Sharasai - ABSN programs are for people who already have a bachelor's degree in another noon-non-nursing field. Your best bet is to get an ASN (often from a community college) or a BSN (from a...

  8. Microbiology course online?

    jess.mont replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have said, make sure your school will accept an online science class first. Cayuga Community College in New York has an online micro class that's four credits with a lab. You do all the...

  9. Pharmacology class online?

    jess.mont replied to SHANLEA's topic in General Students

    There are numerous schools that do - a quick Google search will turn up options for you. But you should find out if your program will accept them, so yeah to you're school first, then look around.

  10. Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    jess.mont replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you need to really figure out why you're not doing so well in college. Start with that, then do as others have suggested and figure out if you really want to be a nurse. There are lots of jobs...

  11. Any pediatric pearls of wisdom?

    jess.mont replied to DinasaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've done one peds rotation, so I know very little about working with our youngest patient's, but we had a sign posted by Child Life in our staff bathroom that reminded us that children are not pets....

  12. How many care plans do you do?

    jess.mont replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    During our first clinical rotation, we do one for each of our five theory classes. Second and third rotations, we do two care plans during each rotation. During specialty clinicals in our third and...

  13. Pre-Requisite Nursing Course with LAB?

    jess.mont replied to NursingStudent11's topic in General Students

    Welcome! It would help to know where you're located.

  14. eBook vs Physical Book

    jess.mont replied to Liz48's topic in General Students

    We have very few books - maybe 10 for the entire program? - so the cost isn't too bad. I bought a hard copy of the first book, then decided to use an ebook version and I loved it! I've avoided...

  15. ATI TEST

    jess.mont replied to Dtex1730's topic in General Students

    Generally, when people talk about ATI proctored exams, they mean a series of tests that cover various content to prepare you for the NCLEX and help predict your success there. Many programs require...

  16. ATI TEST

    jess.mont replied to Dtex1730's topic in General Students

    Which ATI test do you

  17. Onondaga Community College

    jess.mont replied to kinzkat36's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, Sade! I'd be happy to answer your questions here. 1) Are you taking prereqs with the nursing classes? I'm not because I wanted all the pre-reqs done ahead of time. Some people do, though, because...

  18. Onondaga Community College

    jess.mont replied to kinzkat36's topic in School, College Programs

    Please do! I love talking about OCC - it's a wonderful program.

  19. Hope to hear from syracuse NY nurses

    jess.mont replied to SyrNursewannabie's topic in General Students

    I'd be happy to meet up with you. I'm finishing my first year in OCC's nursing program and I really enjoy it. I'll send you a PM.

  20. Any RNs considering medical school?

    jess.mont replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

    I'm going to try an experiment. I wonder what kind of response the OP would have gotten if he or she had said something like this: "Hello, nurses! I'm in my last semester of nursing school, and...

  21. Hours spent studying

    jess.mont replied to Krb5's topic in General Students

    For me, it's about 20 hours a week with studying and procedure

  22. Post-test reviews

    jess.mont replied to Isabelle49's topic in General Students

    Our school doesn't do this. If you fail a test, you remediate with the instructor and she goes over the objectives you missed. Then you are allowed to attempt the test again. For example, I just took...

  23. Take statistics in RN program or wait?

    jess.mont replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would focus on your nursing classes. The first semester takes quite a bit of adjustment. Good

  24. Nursing Ethics Questions

    jess.mont replied to Whitney T.'s topic in General Students

    Just so you're aware, many AN members frown on requests like these. These assignments address meant to get you talking to nurses in the real world, not rely on anonymous message-board users who may...

  25. Prereq question

    jess.mont replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have to see whether the classes you need for your BSN will be covered during the ADN. Personally, I knew that I had two classes that I would eventually need for my BSN and I had time during...
