1. Should I stay or should I go?

   ladylysis replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

   I like the idea of keeping some variety there, as well as a potential option for the future. Besides - it gives you joy, yes? What a nice respite and change of perspective to have after those inevitable nightmare shifts at the hospital. ( You know t...

2. Anyone seen any all-white shoes?

   ladylysis replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Students

   Also, if you find some that are close - like New Balance, but they have grey stitching around the logo, for instance - use white shoe polish to rectify that problem. This expands your options quite a bit. Good luck!

3. Anyone seen any all-white shoes?

   ladylysis replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Students

   Have you looked at Zappos? I've been able to find 4e shoes for my husband there. They have several pairs available that should work for you, and return shipping is free if they don't work out. I'm curious as to why you can't wear the Dansko ones with...

4. First year in college! Need advice please!

   ladylysis replied to HisTiming's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You should be working on getting your prerequisites out of the way. What classes have to be done before applying to the program? If you haven't picked a program yet, start scouting them: it's the only way you'll know which classes you need. Make ano...

   I already have a stethoscope, so that's not an issue for me. As a respiratory therapist, I love my Littman Cardiology III. A Littman Select is good, though, and will not run more than ~40 bucks.

   Ordered my required texts for 114 on Amazon. Would have been around $225 at the bookstore for new books; I spent $135 not including the syllabus for new or like new. 115 looks rough; around 450.

   Seeing everyone's costs, I'm suddenly less unhappy about having to do the program part-time: I get to space that out a bit! Since I'm not doing clinicals this semester, I'll hold off on iTouch/iPad considerations - though I would consider an ipad if ...

8. Do new graduates really get a job that easily in nursing?

   ladylysis replied to Bchung5's topic in New Nurse

   Move to Ohio.

   Book lists are up. Has anyone priced things out? For 114 (my only class) it looks like about $200.

    I see my schedule posted! Since I'm part time, I'm enrolled just in NURS 114. Lecture and lab both on Monday evening.

    If anything, I am *under*whelmed. I will have to pursue the part-time option and was really hoping I could manage it full time. The students at the end did a great job of scaring the crap out of me, though!

    It was at a different school (CCC).

    I am strong in math, but learned my lesson when I tried Applied Algebra online. It was awful! I got a great prof for my classroom-based Stats class, and that made all the difference. Unless you are a math goddess, I recommend taking it on campus.

14. how do you feel about group projects?

    ladylysis replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    As observed by so many others, group projects kinda suck. Not just for the inevitable person who doesn't want to do anything - we should anticipate that and just pick up their slack. Also, a contribution-oriented citations list goes a long way towa...

15. C=degree

    ladylysis replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Exactly, snickers! I'm not competitive with other students, per se, but I'm not happy unless I get an A - because I know that I'm capable of it. Type A, though? Hardly. Just a geek.
