1. Does Anyone Use Student Loan $ For Childcare?

   collegebound replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

   Yep, that is the only way we can afford it! I hate that we will be racking up higher debt, but we were uneligble for help through student services so it was our only option.

2. So, I bought a pocket PC....now I need help!

   collegebound replied to thisgurl0183's topic in General Students

   I too have a Hp Ipaq though it is an older model that I got second hand from a friend. I have loaded free software from Skyscape as well as Epocrates (didn't know about the Merck site so I'll be checking that out). Just wanted to say to check out t...

3. PDA questions

   collegebound replied to dodgerla's topic in Student Assist

   Well for software, look at Skyscape.com and Epocrates.com both have some free software that is great. On some of my books, I ordered with accompaning PDA software (my med dict. and drug guide) and I plan on purchasing a med abbreviation software, a N...

4. Brand spankin' new nursing clinical student!

   collegebound replied to happynewLPN's topic in General Students

   Good Luck, it will be tough but we can all do it! I have just been through orientation as well, and while we did hear how hard it is and time consuming, our instructors offered us lots of support. So while I heard, hang a picture of yourself on the...

5. School uniforms.. ugh..

   collegebound replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

   We have to have black scrubs with ALL white shoes--absolutely no color anywhere! They are a brand called GelScrubs and are very soft and comfy. I can't wait to actually start wearing them!

6. 1.semester

   collegebound replied to amazone's topic in General Students

   It is different at every school. A pre-req at one school may not be needed at all at another (my school does not require patho), others are pre-reqs to RN programs while some you just have to complete before graduation.

7. Who starts in January?

   collegebound replied to flygirls2's topic in General Students

   January 16th for me too!! Actually CPR class is Jan. 3rd, with orientation on the 10th and 11th, then classes start!! I am so excited and so scared all at the same time. I wish everyone the best!

8. Binder or notebooks?

   collegebound replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am a binder girl myself. I have a hard time with notebooks as the spirals get in the way when I am trying to write (when I get to that side!). Plus, like others, most of my notes have been given in powerpoint so they can be kept neatly in a binde...

9. very discourage, what should i do at this point?

   collegebound replied to jbdang's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My advice would be to retake the classes until you are able to get a competitive GPA. I would under no circumstances take an "easier" class at another school. Nursing school is extremely hard. Taking the "easier" road now will only make it that mu...

10. As a Nurse, what gives you the willies?

    collegebound replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't start NS till next month but I already know mine will be vomit. To just see someone gagging starts me gagging as well. And the smell ... well I won't go on.

11. Human Growth and Development Spring 2007

    collegebound replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I loved this class. I found it to be very easy but I also found it very interesting. I have two small kids at home so it was fun to try and relate what I was learning to them. I took it online and we had small weekly discussions to post and the te...

12. Study Guide for the NET

    collegebound replied to spb1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with Jezziemis. It is best to do some run-through practice tests. Everyone at my school that has taken the NET had far more trouble with the reading than the math. The math that was on ours was really basic--percentages, fractions, decimals, ...

13. Post here if you are done with finals!

    collegebound replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Done-Done-Done!!! Just finished up A&PII and Intro to Psych, with A's in both! Next semester I'll start nursing school (Jan 16) so I am going to relax and try to get some stuff done around the house for the next few weeks!
