  1. Personalizing Stethoscopes?

    Question for all of you, I'm getting my steth personalized. However, I'm engaged. I'll have my current last name in school but after graduation will be getting married. I'm getting a Littman Cardio III, so it should last me awhile. When I engrave my ...
  2. BSN to PA

    I also think it is important to reiterate that the required 2015 DNP IS NOT happening. It is merely a suggestion. Sure, a lot of schools are taking away their MSN programs, but there are plenty of schools were you can become a NP/CRNA/CNM/ect with an...
  3. Introduction to Biology Help

    There really is no head start. Just read and read and read. Find a good study buddy when the class starts. I personally LOVE biology and got 103 in the class, but there was nothing I could have done before the class started that helped me get the gra...
  4. Student nurse tech job? Yeah right!

    I don't think the OP has finished NS, so looking for an RN job wouldn't make sense. To the OP: I know the feeling! I had applied to hospital jobs for well over a year. Got a few interviews (and it took several weeks for them to let me know their deci...
  5. How many semesters is your program?

    6 semesters in the program, 2 semesters of pre-reqs. 8 total = BSN
  6. Will I ever be accepted?!??!!?!?!?!!!?

    I'm not sure your financial situation and how comfortable you are with taking out loans, but have you looked into private colleges? The school I go to requires a 2.6 GPA and since it is a little more costly it is fairly uncompetitive. The finances ...
  7. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    Very interesting responses! I've certainly seen threads on this board "Should I be an RN or MD?" However, I've never seen anyone attempt getting their BSN while pursuing dental (or medical) school. It's also impressive how hidden she's kept it, under...
  8. So today one of my suite-mates came to me and had told me something about her I hadn't expected. She will be going into her senior year of nursing this fall, but confessed that she isn't going to become a nurse. Since her sophomore year she has been ...
  9. Micro - I'm just sayin'

    My lab got better. We grew cultures of the bacteria in our mouth and cultured some of our urine specimens and saw the difference between a casual and clean catch
  10. What do you always have in your scrub pockets?

    I have yet to start my clinicals but here is what a carry as a tech Black ink pen Pencil (chart I&O's in pencil until end of shift, then in pen) Highlighter Post-its Chapstick Sheet of patients/vitals
  11. Are you a PCT/CNA and a BSN/RN student ?

    I work PRN in the float pool at a local hospital. I have to put in 16 hours a pay period, but I can ask to work as much as I want. I love that I can sign up for 4,8, or 12 hour shifts. It's extremely flexible, so if I have a test the next day I can s...
  12. Question About Microbiology Notes

    I have a bunch of micro notes already typed in a document if anyone is interested in a supplement to the OP's notes, considering not all micros are taught equal. Sorry for the hijack OP :)
  13. $$ for nursing students?

    Not yet, but we had someone come speak to the nursing club about the new health care and what it means for nurses (can we say boring...) The speaker works for a senator and she had said part of the bill that will be implemented will allow for $60,000...
  14. Do I need this for nursing school?

    The cadaver lab is open for us to use until midnight. I'm not sure if there is a skeleton, I'd assume so. So I'm guessing the consensus is to forgo the skeleton. Now that $200 could go toward other things... Starbucks anyone?
  15. Do I need this for nursing school?

    Oh really? This girl had told me she got hers for about $125. I don't think it was quite full scale and not made for anatomy specifically. But she said the major markers tend to be there even in non-anatomy models. But thanks for the heads up on pric...
