  1. Shopping for Nursing School

    2 Uniforms, undershirts, socks, white shoes, stethoscope, pen light, bandage scissors, boxed book set, case of black pens, few note pads, and im shopping around for a new laptop or netbook for theory/lecture.
  2. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    Half of them will fail out or drop out in the first skills test. ;p
  3. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    First day for me was a clinical/lab setting day so we had a 3 hour look at the syllabus / calendar and called it a wrap.
  4. All electronics banned?

    I think the point that was tying to be made was that as a nurse (which has more importance than taking a test to be a nurse, imo) you're not going to have a quiet environment to practice in often, when you may find yourself needing to focus. Part of ...
  5. All electronics banned?

    Voicemail.. what? You mean you don't have that bluetooth piece surgically placed inside your auditory canal? Sheesh, get with the times!
  6. All electronics banned?

    My thing is I just simply don't have or see a use for it, for myself. My wife has one and loves it. It's just not my cup of tea. It was hard enough for me to start texting people.. I'd still rather call and have some form of personal contact. Electro...

    I'm just trying to get something that works well with the family life so wife can be off the days I'm at school and I'm off the days she's at work.
  10. I think a LOT of people go over board with AnP. Anatomy is literally the road map to the human body. How do you get better at driving places and remembering where to go without needing to call for help or look at a map? You travel the route over and ...

  12. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

    Yes I personally feel that anything passed 30 is too old for children. That's MY life decision though, if other people have different feelings or goals then fine with me. :) I was just offering her another view point that she may not have seen or th...
  13. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

    I haven't read any replies aside from the Op so if I am repeating things I apologize. I am speaking strictly from personal experience. As a father/husband, I would advise waiting until AFTER you finish nursing school before starting a family. Even th...
