   Thanks, that's a great line to redirect the conversation, it should be fairly effective for insisting patients! I hadn't thought of that, thank you!

   @Lev Yes I suppose that's an option! Personally though, I prefer not covering my scar. I would do it if I had to obviously to follow hospital protocol. But in general, I just don't like covering it on a day-to-day, it's like hiding apart of who I am...

   @KatieMI thanks for your input! Thankfully, I have less restrictions it seems than your classmate did. I am able to lift and do plenty of activities, so I think it will be less of a problem and be able to do bedside nursing. But definitely no MRI mac...

    @ambryce Wow those hours don't sound too bad at all! Thanks for the info! I had a question about the parking pass.. Does the ABSN have a special parking pass for the summer semester? I saw the parking site said they don't require a parking pass for t...

    @Mandaaleiigh My bad, I was thinking sheesh clinicals alone 7am-7pm six days a week? That'd be crazy. I was thinking that because I did see some of the class times listed in canelink for the current semester and I think one of the clinical classes wa...

    risser replied to ambitious_shan's topic in Florida

    Orientation on the 15th is mandatory, it said that in the first admission letter I got, so reserve the date! I don't think clinicals would be 6 days a week, when would we have class?? lol. It says on the website the most clinical hours we have per se...
