  3. Medical Missions
    I am going to a regular nursing school. I don't think it really matters. I think if you found a Christian university that had a nursing program that would be great. That way you would have some...

  4. How do you store your stethoscope?
    Not on a hook it will get a bend in it and ruin it. I just lay it out on a shelf by my desk in its natural shape (whatever position it wants to sit in). It can be stored in its box if you kept it.

  5. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?
    Don't get mess or anything. They will get dirty and yucky so quickly!! Stick with leather. I would recommend danskos but they are clogs.

  9. Are C's really the new A's in nursing school?
    Have to get at least a 75% (C) in my program to pass the class. 74.999% = F. An A is 93-100%; a B is 92-85%; and a C is 84-75%. I won't lie I've passed a few of my nursing courses with C's. But do...

    I gained about 8 pounds my first year in nursing school. I ate junk. I ate when I got super stressed. I ate in class because I was bored and needed to stay awake. This year I plan on stopping all of...

    This is so so so inspiring. Thanks! I don't graduate from my BSN program until Dec 2013, but my ultimate dream job is to be a NICU nurse. It's all I've ever wanted to do (minus short-term mission...

    I am going to be in the same position as you (when I graduate in Dec 2013). I originally dreamed of being a Neonatologist, but when I thought further of it I decided I would much rather prefer being...

  13. Greetings from my nursing placement in Cuzco, Peru!
    That is so amazing. One of the dreams I have is to do midwifery in 3rd world countries. I have always had a huge passion for the neonate. If I ever had a break in school I would love to go on an...
