My school had a list and specific uniforms we had to order from them. I needed bandage scissors, a penlight, and my favorite stethoscope is the littman classic II.

I take meds for it :( I work as a CNA and am fine and don't have anxiety when I'm in routine... But nursing school has my anxiety through the roof! Even just sitting in class! The meds make it much...

If you are open to meds, maybe talk to a dr. I have severe anxiety when I have to talk in front of people. Now I take Xanax and propanolol and it does wonders.

I've never been to Arizona but used to live in the bay so my response is biased lol. I LOVE the city, it is soooooo much fun and a great place (in my opinion) so obviously I would definitely pick SF...

Well I didn't have a Tt, only a ba. I'm a CNA and do hospice so most of the time I have no one to help me, like at homes. I only could get 2 weeks off. I had to transfer people by myself and was ok,...

Totally agree. There is a girl in my nursing class who mentioned what a gross and horrible job a Cna job is, and that she could never do it. When others told her she would still experience the same...

Great tip thanks. I have a similar book and for a lot of my reading chapters there is a chapter for it with nclex questions which is helpful!

Thanks excellent advice. I met some teachers already and already I think those were just rumors about teachers being so mean. Feeling better about it but just nervous about passing school!

Crazy! That is cool though that you got to experience doing cpr, especially early!

I was wondering how everyone studies, I'm overwhelmed already with all the reading! Ok so I know obviously to read the chapter before lecture. I also print out the power points for lecture and take...

I start a week from tommorrow. Seriously, the rumors around my whole city is that the teachers are just plain mean to say the least. I'm pretty scared and stressed out. Not to mention I'm covered in...

Hi Felicia :) welcome to allnurses :)

Same at my work.

See your doctor. My family doctor prescribed me Xanax and it works great for me.

It differs by employer... You wouldn't fail either if you only second hand smoked.

My cousin in law is also a new grad lvn by sf.. She ended up taking a job in Sacramento at a correctional facility. Maybe check into correctional facilities? Also have you tried long term care...

I applied twice and got in the second time with a GPA of 3.7

I think I would take it with Chem...like the first person said, anatomy did have a lot more to memorize (IMO).

Personally I would take all the sciences one by one, and add the math class to one of those semesters. I work full time and one science class was enough work (though I did take easy classes with...

I live next to Ca and had no problem at all. Got hired within a week of passing my exam at a LTC for 11.50.

I would do it.

Good luck!!!! Congrats on getting so far :)

I would definetly quit or look for a better job. I do Hospice for an agency and drive too from patient to patient or to facility. I get paid for ALL time driven, and ALL miles as well. I do not think...

This too!!! Save save save! Start a savings just got school. Just got into a program and I'm seriously stressing on the costs of books, uniforms, and tuition... And my school is a community college

Pretty much what others said. I didn't take my classes seriously and had to pay more money to retake them later to get a's in them to get into my program. So do your BEST in class! Volunteering is...
