   masstudent replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Nancy, You might try Macys (unfortunately, I don't think you can sort by price or color like you can at Target or Kohls), Target ($17 and up) or Kohls especially this week where many stores are having Memorial Day sales. You might check online a...

2. PPD Testing

   masstudent posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have a few questions about PPD testing. I went to apply for a job at a major teaching hospital and before I can be considered for a job I have to first have a PPD test done. I am used to being hired for the job and then having to have a PPD test ...

3. ED Volunteer

   masstudent replied to Jason2311's topic in General Nursing

   I volunteered several years ago in a teaching hospital where they had me changing gurneys that might have blood or anything else, pushing gurneys. Most hospitals I know of require now that the volunteers have Hep B shots. Even one of the hospitals I ...

6. We are told not to

   masstudent replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

   I read this same advice online in a power point about how to study for nursing exams. For me, not studying the night before an exam would feel like I was slacking off even if I have studied plenty ahead of time. I don't want to be kicking myself th...

7. shoes and sox or stockings

   masstudent replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

   There are socks/knee highs especially that exist without a heel, they are like tube socks but I haven't found any that are compression gradient. They basically stay up due to the band at the top. The lack of a heel doesn't affect this, think of mo...

   masstudent replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I am looking for stockings/knee highs that don't have a built in heel. Does anyone know if they exist? I have a tiny foot and all the socks/knee highs I look at have the heel built in which would end up half way up my calf. I looked at several by N...

    I needed to post to get some feedback from other nurses/students. I had clinical yesterday and was really happy with it until an hour after I left I learned some papers couldn't be found. These papers are supposed to be transferred from nurse to nu...

12. Binder or notebooks?

    masstudent replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    From one lefty to another, have you ever found the notebooks that are made specifically for lefties? I have never used one since I have gotten so used to the spiral binding being on the left hand side. These "special" notebooks are also more expens...

13. Majoring in something non-science/non-nursing related

    masstudent replied to xLexax's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My impression of second degree programs is most take people who have a wide range of majors in their first BA/BS. The point of a second degree program is for those of us who decided we wanted to be nurses after we got our first degree. If you look at...
