   How was everyone's first day? Was it what you expected? I am still pretty nervous about juggling work and school but I know it's possible if I work hard.

   You can use your student ID and schedule I know but I'm not sure about your DL. Is the badge different from our student ID? I was planning on just getting a badge holder for my ID because I thought they were the same but if not I definitely need to g...

   I am going to try to go Monday afternoon close to the end of the day or flex time and go on my lunch break. Thanks for the well wishes! Hopefully I can get what I need and be out fast. I wish they had the nursing books at the Huntsville campus bookst...

   That's the same email I have too, Allonsy. I think it's for people who bought the book used and it's a previous edition. As long as we have the fundamentals book we should be fine. I am going to get my books Monday. I hope it's not a madhouse lol

   Is everyone wearing their uniforms the first day? I don't think it's mandatory but I don't want to be the only one not wearing it if most people are.

   You don't have to have it yet but when they come in we will have to get one. My Dr. just made a note on my form that it's not in season yet. I signed the waiver also but I will get it and upload it to them in a couple of months.

   Only a few more days! I am super nervous! Did anyone else have a delay in the background and health fees being taken from their bank accounts? Mine finally went through yesterday after almost two weeks.

   I have the Classic II S.E. On the Littmann site it has a profession selector to suggest one and that's one of the ones that came up for nursing. I have also heard the same about jewelry and perfumes. I also heard that your hair has to be worn back in...

    My hubby bought me a Littmann a month or so ago. Working as a CNA previously I would say to splurge if you can for a good one. Taking manual blood pressures and patient assessments are hard to do if you can't hear clearly. I always had trouble hearin...

    I've heard that too about orientation. Basically they tell you how difficult it will be and that not everyone will make it. If we have made it this far I know we can make it all the way! I just bought my uniforms and labcoat plus ordered all the misc...

    I bought a pair of Dansko clogs from The Walking Company. They are so comfortable! Ugly though, lol

    We should start with everyone else on the 18th. The closer it gets to August, the more nervous I am! I'm trying to do as much as I can before orientation so I'm not rushing at the last minute and it's not all out of pocket at once. Nursing school is ...
