Not in my ER. They all wear regular tennis shoes.

I think it's because I always wear shoes with thin soles and that are flexible. I suddenly switched to a thick inflexible shoe, and I felt so awkward and clumsy walking.

I bought those for my pre-nursing clinicals (4 hours per week) and twisted my ankle twice that semester. They were so heavy and clunky I had to get rid of them.

15 weeks (regular semester). We met 7 hours per week. I can see it being done in two weeks if you met every day.

We can get ours read by any nurse manager or the house supervisor. The house supervisor is often the most convenient for the night shift.

I work in the ER, so we get our fair share of codes. I just don't connect emotionally with a life-less body that I don't know and have never seen without someone doing compressions on them.

I know a couple that were denied admission to my class. Admissions aren't really allowed to make decisions based on sex. There may some that do anyway, but believe me that being male doesn't...

...I have a whole summer off... Classes have been out two weeks, and even with the extra hours I'm picking up at work, I've run out of things to clean at home... I'm going stir crazy. I know I...

My plan B was to go into the Clinical Laboratory program and become a lab tech.

Me too! I finished the first semester and now I have to get through my junior and senior years.

At the end of the your post, you specifically said what bothered you the most was the "conditioner thing." Several of us have claimed that conditioner is just fine for cleansing skin. As far as...

It's possible that the school looked at other criteria like the essays, recommendations, volunteering, experience in the medical field or any combination of the above.

The best we've come up with is they though the child had an anxiety disorder?? Other than that I can't figure out WHY they would think a child being afraid of the dark is an emergency...

First thing you should do is head to the Clerk of Court to retrieve you records and find out exactly what your record is.

Parent brings in 5yo who is afraid of the dark and wants to sleep with the lights on.

Haha.. I actually forgot about the countdown app that's been on my phone since this thread was started... It's just been ticking away since last year...

meh.. Yea, I would report any harassment, but that's only IF that happens. He's most likely not going to, though. I would give him the benefit of the doubt. He might seem creepy because he is a...

If that's the worse you come across, you're doing pretty well. The nursing home I did CNA clinicals at frequently ran out of towels, and we had to get creative sometimes. And conditioner can be used...

Good luck!!

Congrats! I agree with the PP. If you want to eventually be an RN, you might as well get it done.

Man.... I've been looking for this thread... 736 days left.. Whew!! I cut some days off since I last posted on here (A whole year!). I'm actually in nursing school now.

If you don't have insurance, check out your local health unit for the physical and vaccines.

Don't forget psychology! You should really narrow down the top 2-3 nursing schools that you want to attend and check out their requirements, so you don't take classes that you don't need.

Our pre-nursing class (CNA) was in a nursing home, then in our first semester, we only spent two weeks (1 day per week) at the nursing home.

A lot of schools (NOT ALL OF THEM THOUGH! Take these words with a grain of salt...) want you to attend but are obligated to make you appeal because you don't meet the requirements for federal student...
