C'mon peeps, where are you all? There are posts for every other ECC/NL class. We need our own too.

Anyone else starting in the Fall '07?

I know I'm venting and raging again, but it infuriates me everytime I think about it.

The good news is that you are getting close to graduation and taking NCLEX. ;)

Meanwhile, I am getting lightheaded here because I got my authorization to test today. I have to pick a date now. :sofahider

Thanks Fun! I'm calmed down right now, but I swear I get bipolar over this. I can be calm for a while, and then my anger just flares up...lol. You guys need to keep me calm about all this.

Take Care,

I did it. I registered for January 30th. I wanted to do a week earlier but there were no appointments available that week. In fact there were hardly any days available in January (in Dallas). Now I will need to keep telling myself that Jan. 30 = RN. ;)

I'm an NLC 2nd semester student and I received my books and skills pack in the mail today. Stupid question...do I need to get one of those "tackle boxes" for my skills pack that I see everyone carrying around and if so, where do I get it?

It is helpful for 2nd semester because of all the needles and stuff you have. It makes it much easier to find what you need versus digging around in a big old bag. For those of us who are at ECC, if you ride the train, you don't want a bunch of needles visible for all to see...

Does anyone know what the 1st semester skills pack consist of, I took the HPRS 1204 class and we had to purchase a skills pack and I was wondering if it is the same thing.

Last semester it was the same stuff we used in HPRS. I never used mine and the only difference is instead of a straight catheter it comes with a Foley.

I agree with the tackle box for the needles, syringes, and saline vials to go in.

It keeps everything organized, and you are tugging a small box, instead of the bulky bag for all to see.

I actually went to Hobby Lobby and bought a strap and a plastic buckle-type thing, and strung the strap through the handle of the tackle box. (The strap and buckle were like you would find on a backpack.)

SO, I wore the box as a purse, instead of having to carry it by the handle. :)

Sorry I can't give any second opinions on the skills pac....we didn't have HPRS.

Good luck to you! :)

New nursing student fashion. :lol2: I got my box from walmart.

I have to add that I have just checked my ecampus. I can still see my nursing classes and the first thing I read is a new announcement titled: I-Pod ready Schizophrenia lectures. :lol_hitti
