2. Where to Purchase???

   20mom10 replied to MrsMeg's topic in Uniform/Gear

   from what I've heard, go with the cardo from littmann over the classic, I use the DRG cardio Ti-Lite and I love it, I would totally recommend it. I like allheart.com the prices are great but the customer service can be lacking.

    I have started the last year of my ASN program, we had lost maybe 2-3 people in the first year but in the last six weeks we have lost 5 people in our class. Has anyone else had this happen? It has made me very nervous about my standing in the class.

15. Pre-reqs at different schools??

    20mom10 replied to Islandgurlie's topic in New York

    always check with the nursing department and make sure that the classes will satisfy the requirements. For example don't take a science class that doesn't have a lab component if your nursing program requires it. That just wastes your time and mone...
