   you will never have to work a stat holiday while you are in school. You guys have a lab on the 7th and you have the 10th off of school. I believe your scheduled should be posted on the nursing website now.

   I'm not sure 100% about that but I don't pay anything monthly to MSP. I think it is part of your fees at the beginning. I don't know anyone that pays anything monthly for insurance in the program. Unless it is for the student health services because ...

   I will be selling my BP cuff for $15 at the book consignment, I'm sure others will do the same as you only need it for the first semester (Sept-Dec) and then you never really use it again.

   Hey guys, I received your schedule (as I am making your agenda) and you need your scrubs for September 27th as you have your 2 shadow days around that time. Also, as for text books... WAIT to buy them until you are in school. I know you all are so ex...

   Just a little FYI for those of your ordering scrubs. You need them by mid-october. The tops fit like any top you would buy so if you are a small then a small or x-small will be just fine. The bottoms however are a little tricky as they have NO GIVE i...

   Congrats to all of you that got in. As for some of your CPR comments, there was a lot of confusion during our year about if you needed your level C or your HCP CPR (health care practitioner). I'm not sure what they have decided this year BUT the nurs...

   I have to say I didn't prepare much for the interview process... it is kind of hard to do so. I just kinda looked into what MMI interviews are like and googled for some sample questions. Most of what I found were med school questions so not totally a...

    I would call or email and ask if you still haven't heard anything. We do have to respond by the 15th but in my interview they said that they would let everyone know right around the same time if they got in or not and then offer those that they origi...

    I had almost a year of paid hospital experience, but I know there were lots of people that did not have hospital experience at my interview. Like cinnamonlatte wrote in the last post, none of the questions are that specific. They are very general so ...
