1. Starting clinicals: where to put FitBit Charge 2?

   hello77kitty posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Hi everyone! I'm starting my first semester of nursing school soon. I always wear my Fitbit Charge 2 on my wrist. It tracks my HR and steps. It is water resistant but not waterproof. So I am guessing I probably shouldn't have it on my wrist since I'l...

   I think maybe the payment plan was just deferring payment until you get your financial aid because when I called to place my order I asked about payment plans but they lady only said that she can defer payment for 30 days.

   Thank you! Just bought the Lippincott stuff. I chose the option to defer payment for 30 days (until financial aid kicks in).

   Hey guys, does anyone know if the Taylor Course Point Plus comes with the Fundamentals of Nursing e-book? I think it does, but if anyone has purchased it yet, can you verify? Thank you :)

   Koi Lindsey were $25. I'm not purchasing the suggested books for now. Maybe I will after I get my tax return.

   So I just purchased all of my uniforms, yay! I ended up going to the Scrub Shoppe in the Buena Park Mall. I ended up getting 2 Cherokee tops (style 2878) and 2 pairs of Koi Lindsey pants (LOVE them), and a Dickies Scrub jacket for just under $120. Th...

   I think it is the same price with the NSNA, I believe I paid $23 using the link from the NSNA site. As for the pants, I am having trouble finding non-see through white pants. I purchased some Cherokee brand cargo scrubs from Amazon, but they were to...

   Yeah, I'm hoping financial aid will help me out too! I can't afford to quit my job though, so I am hoping to be able to work 20 hours a week. I guess we shall see how that pans out!

    Have you guys purchased your books yet? I've been kinda lagging on that since they are so expensive. Did you purchase from where they recommended on the handout?

11. When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    hello77kitty replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    My school requires a 10-panel screen before we start the semester.

    Yes, I have 6 units as well. I think we add 193 later in the semster, at least that is what I jotted down in my notes from orientation. Also, I haven't gotten an email about family night.

    The other packet is the student handbook. You'll probably have to ask them for one.

14. Are formulas or conversion factors given on the exam?

    hello77kitty replied to RDanielle98's topic in TEAS

    They gave me the formula for the temp conversions. No metric conversion factors. I personally use "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk" to help me remember metrics. They asked for the area of a rectangle and did not give me a formula.

15. How long did you study for?

    hello77kitty replied to ThatFutureRNLife's topic in TEAS

    Let me preface this by saying: I have taken all of my pre-req courses (A&P, Micro, Chem, math, English, etc) so a lot of this was just review for me. TEAS overall score: 86% Percentile/Program rank :96 Reading: 85% Math: 97% Science: 78% Englis...
