I think I might buy my books tonight...if not tonight then tomorrow for sure, I have them all in my cart on Amazon! I haven't gotten my supplies yet.

I need to pick up my health forms from my docs office (we were waiting for the blood work) tomorrow and then I'll bring it in on Wed. I'm doing CPR through the school.

I'm so nervous but I can't wait!

You should keep a copy of the actual physical paperwork that your doctor filled out for you just to have for your own files. I always copy everything before handing it in just in case they say they never got it or they lose it, etc.

Yes,I know this and usually do but I forgot to copy clearance.Hopefully, I won't need it.

lorba, should we bring medical report every semester or every year?

Typical first day jitters I guess? It still hasn't totally sunk in yet that I got in!

For clinicals you don't need a lab coat

I mean white uniform, jacket with front buttons. They call it lab coats or lab jackets online, not scrubs.

There are other scrub top styles we can get. A few of the girls are orientation were wearing them. I got one of the others and when I go do CPR I'm going up to the nursing office to see if they approve it. If not I'll go return it. I have the problem that I'm not comfortable in anything button up because I have large breasts, and everything pulls no matter how big it is. And I don't want to be forced to wear a t-shirt under all the time!

Look at the wrap style then, we are allowed to wear them. Just get it approved, I plan on bringing in the one I got when I go to CPR next week hopefully someone is there in the nursing dept!

I'm waiting for my order coming soon. I'll try it then will see what to do.

Why do they have so strictly frames for the uniform? They want white- ok, but let us choose the style. We all have different body curves. :uhoh3: And wish to look at least not ugly.

But we do have some choice, we can get the wrap looking ones. It's awful it really is.

Honestly I feel they should have a top that we have to order through them. It might be a bit more expensive but at least we won't have the guess.

I also don't think we should be in all white...but I understand that reasoning. However, if your even the slightest bit heavy, white looks awful. Ugh.
