  1. I'm pretty much a laid back, quiet until I get to know you kind of person but I have made friends with three amazing girls in my program and I am so grateful I have because we keep each other grounded, on top of things, and we're in the same Skills L...
  2. During our final orientation we were introduced to our Senior Buddy. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of the whole Student Buddy thing (even if they are in the 2nd year). We are assigned an Advisor who is a Faculty member and I see myself speaki...
  3. Good stethoscope deal!

    I got my Littmann from them, with the free engraving. They are fast with shipping. I ordered my Littmann on the 7/26, received it 7/27 and this was with their cheapest shipping option. Great company, I will be ordering another from them this month. F...
  4. Clinical hours??

    Our Clinicals are 8.5hr days, two days in a row. And this is for a Hospital Based Program. Guess every program is different. If you are concerned about gaining more experience I'd suggest looking into a Preceptorship and/or Externship. Good Luck!
  5. Uniforms

    Hmmmm...I am not a fan of Bleach (never use it) but Baking Soda with a good Concentrated Detergent may work...I know it helped me when I spilled coffee on my white skinny jeans this summer, can't even tell where the spill occured
  6. Sociology of the Family

    I say go for it! You will love the course, it's very helpful and informative because afterall you will not only be treating the patient but the family as well so having some knowledge about different structures is always helpful. I have a Bachelors i...
  7. CPR Certification Question

    Check out the AHA website, they have tons of courses listed for BLS-AED for Healthcare Providers. If you can do it in person go for it, but like most are saying here you will have to do the skills portion with a certified instructor if you do the onl...
  8. Patients hitting on nurses

    Although I am not a Nurse yet (Fall 2012 Student), these stories remind me of my Grandfather and his experiences with Nurses. He resided in a very posh assisted living facility where he had Nurse care. He had three of the best (and prettiest) Nurses ...
  9. I hate microbiology

    Microbiology is BORING.GOV! The only interesting thing to me was the last portion of the course where we reviewed all the diseases, etc and actually doing a CSI type experiment where we went through the actual steps of "streaking out DNA on Gel". Oth...
  10. What is your dream nursing career

    My ultimate goal/dream is to become a Chief Nursing Officer (Director of Nursing) and to start my own Legal Nurse Consulting business. I would love to work in Trauma, ICU, Oncology, and Hospice
  11. Shoes ....

    I bought a pair of Nurse Mates Bryar in White, but I also received a pair of Dansko Professional in White as a gift so I'm grateful I have two pairs of shoes to alternate between. Both are super comfy!
  12. HELP! Nurse Externship Programs in Tucson

    UPDATE: I spoke with my Mother and Uncle last night regarding Externships vs. Preceptorships in Tucson. They both advised seeking out a Preceptorship at UAMC or any of the areas Hospitals/Medical Center or even Private Practices. Externships are more...

    Hi! My Mother and Step-Father are Deans/Professors at U of A and I know they have a Nursing School. My Mother actually works cosely with the Dean of the Nursing School for research purposes, etc so I will ask her if she knows of any externships they ...
  15. Rejected! Now what?

    DO NOT get discouraged or give up, just use this time to study your ass off for the TEAS. I'm not sure if you purchased the study guide with the free online assessments from ATI but do so if you have not (I think it's like $45). It really helps becau...
