   luv2garden replied to Bookworm_Beauty's topic in General Students

   Last year when I started nursing school, I had the same question!!! I was so nervous and wanted to be beyond prepared! However, other than going into it with the mindset that this is your life and all other aspects of it must take a backseat, it is v...

3. Did you take pathophysiology? How hard was it?

   luv2garden replied to northmississippi's topic in Student Assist

8. New Grad Jobs in Oregon???

   luv2garden replied to Liquidaddicted's topic in Oregon

   I never said it was easy...in fact, what I said was that it isn't impossible. The whole point in the message was to say that negativity about the job market, especially to new grads, is unnecessary. There truly is something out there for everyone but...

9. New Grad Jobs in Oregon???

   luv2garden replied to Liquidaddicted's topic in Oregon

   It isn't IMPOSSIBLE to get a job as a new grad RN. From some of these posts, you'd think people were trying to get into NASA. I realize it might be a bit of a challenge, but there is something out there for everyone! Just be persistent and try talkin...

    To all you NS veterans, what is a good stethoscope to purchase that is not high end, not low end, but will do all the things I will need it to do for nursing school? There is such a wide range out there of brands and costs that I am unsure as to what...
