  1. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    If this is true, it seems sloppy to me that a physician would somehow not know what they were signing too. If they're signing an automated form, I would think they should be very familiar to it to prevent instances such as this.
  2. Unbinding books?

    I am strongly considering this too, but as ebailey1218 suggests, I'm going to wait until the first week of classes or so and see how manageable it is to just bring the texts along, or if that will even be necessary.
  3. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    Me too! I think mine is by BlackHawk though. I plan to trade off between my huge leather Banana Republic tote, my VeraBradley tote, and the pack. The whole rolling bag thing is definitely NOT for me!!!
  4. DO NOT pass on the poop

    wow, that last one's a doozy... thanks for this, it's a good list of what NOT to do for us newbs!!
  5. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    This whole discussion is interesting and enlightening. I'd just like to share that as a Vet Tech I draw with 22 and 25g needles regularly when taking blood from cats and kittens (TEENY veins!!) and as you say, you have to be gentle, and it takes som...
  6. Same! Thanks for being so generous and insightful! My accelerated program starts 9/3 and I'm so excited to start!
  7. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    OCRN63 I see that my post upset you; let me try to explain my viewpoint a bit. To me, your "smartness" or intelligence should be demonstrated by your capabilities, not whether you wear glasses... real or fake... or by any other physical characterist...

  9. Backpack for nursing school?

    I'll be relying heavily on Vera this year as well
  10. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    Fake braces are all the rage in Japan... don't believe me? look it up!! As someone who can't see without her glasses or contacts, this whole idea is just ludicrous. Wear eye protection when you need it, lose the fake glasses if they are truly fake;...
  11. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    Kettlebells are great! We use them at CrossFit a lot :)
  12. Recipes and snack ideas for school and clinicals

    Thanks this is a nice combination! And, everything but the Feta is Paleo so I can actually eat this I would love a vitamix... maybe someday!
  13. University of Rochester - ABPNN Fall 2013

    I got off the waitlist July 10th -- very pleased, but also feeling a bit panicked about getting everything done!! I HATE being or feeling unprepared... I think there is a possibility of being accepted off the waitlist all the way into the end of Aug...
  14. College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    I am soo picky about this: college ruled ONLY, white legal pads ONLY ... I HATE loose-leaf and can't stand the rings on spirals, so there you go. :)
  15. Got Accepted to Nursing School and Prestige Factor

    I doubt most people have any idea how hard it is to get into nursing school... also I don't know what type of program you got into, but "nursing school" is a broad term covering everything from LPN associates program to an accelerated bsn... Hopeful...
