   I am sorry if this has been posted 100 times. I am due to take NCLEX Friday afternoon, so I need to make a decision by tomorrow morning whether to reschedule. I have taken HURST in January and in May, but honestly feel like I haven't retained much ...

   I'm sorry I didn't get this sooner - was busy graduating from BSN :) I got my financial aid letter yesterday. I'll tell you, the amount of loans I will have to take out really scares me! Did you get yours?

7. Vanderbilt Direct Entry Fall 2011

   KentuckyRN2Be replied to 5ofPEEP's topic in Post Graduate

   The only reason I know Cheryl's name is that we spent so much time emailing back and forth with all my questions as I submitted my app :) And she gave us a tour when we came down to see the campus. I sure hope they aren't on spring break with the s...

   Thanks, FlowRider! I'll call. I had emailed the day before my friend had received her letter and admissions said that letters would hopefully go out the first of March, but couldn't tell me if I had been accepted yet. I will try to call tomorrow. ...

12. Need shoes for plantar fasciitis

    KentuckyRN2Be replied to leonurse's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I love my Dansko's for my back, but my heel spurs hurt worse with them - even with an insert. Is there some trick I'm missing? :)

13. Vibram 5 fingers shoes

    KentuckyRN2Be replied to sarahbellum's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have a pair of Vibrams and love them for feeling like I'm barefoot, but I bought them after reading quite a bit about them helping plantar faciitis. I found that my heel spurs hurt worse as I wore these - no cushion at all. I wore them almost 6 mo...
