My first day was today and talk about a trial by fire. I immediately had to perform peri care as soon as I walked in the patient room. What an introduction.
I hear you all on the scented products including heavily scented lotions, but what about hair products. I'm entering nursing school this fall and have no clinical experience at all. Can hair product scents be an issue? I'm planning on keeping my h...
CSCC doesn't judge strictly on your GPA. They weigh heavily on A&P grade. You are also given credit if you already have a BS. My GPA is not great, but I scored well in A&P and also have a BS (in Theater Design and Technology).

Current CSCC students, I have a question. The handbook basically says "white nursing uniform - no No stretch knits, jeans, capris, sweats, scrub suits or jumpsuits." So, what exactly should I be looking for? Also, regarding stethoscopes, do I nee...
I ended up applying to Columbia State and Motlow. Both application processes were fairly simple. Just basically send in the required information at the required time. Motlow requires you take the HESI and basis their choices off of that and gpa. ...
Congratulations!!! I start in the fall and I am so excited that I finally figured out what I want to do with my life and that I am getting the opportunity to do it! :yeah:
Thank you so much for the tips and advice! I start in the fall and am already preparing my study "room" for when the time comes. Unfortunately I have to share with the cats.
I took my pre-reqs at MTSU but was very discouraged by the nursing department the whole time I was in contact with them. I already have a BS and took A&P my senior year of college for "fun." Yes, I know better now. I was told that it would be ...
Murfreesboro is a wonderful place to live as well. I like that it has a small town vibe, but with a lot of amenities around. The park system is amazing here as well.
