Just ordered my backpack and the Timex watch. I think all I need now is the student nurse kit from reddingmedical.com...

...and my shoes and uniform(s). If I only do 1 clinical day per week, I'll probably just get 1 uniform; but if I do 2 clinical days per week, then I'll want to get 2.

What all else do you girls need to get?

Oh yes, more vaccinations...I almost forgot about those :p I have to go in on August 8 to get my 2nd MMR and Hep B.

What ATI stuff do you mean Kristian?

I need the nurse kit, and 2 sets of uniforms (want 2 half days).

Do you remember what they said about the insignia and name tag? Can we buy those from the uniform vendor or do we need to go to the school book store?

It's on our book list. I think it's a study guide.

Forgot to mention that I got stung by a yellow jacket around 7:00pm tonight when I took my dog out for his walk. We go to this field right next to our house...I've been taking him there every night for the last almost 9 years and NEVER had a problem. I was wearing flip flops, but it IS 100 degrees outside! I bent down to pick up his stuff, tied up the bag, next thing I know...EXCRUCIATING pain in my foot!! I seriously thought I had cut my toe wide open or something. When I looked down I saw the nasty sucker fly away. Not to mention, this is my first bee sting EVER...I am so useless right now, I feel so bad for my son lol. I'm alternating gauze soaked with apple cider vinegar and baking soda with an ice pack and Neosporin. I took an anti-histamine AND some ibuprofen but it is STILL throbbing and feels like it's on fire when I take the ice pack off for more than a few minutes... :(

Just looked it up...it's a skills modules series.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that book! You're right...I think I saw on the MCb bookstore website that it costs something like $80!!! I keep trying to remind myself this is a good investment into my family's future...lol

Sorry to hear about the sting. It's very painful. Be glad it wasn't your behind. One summer, I got stung twice in each cheek while mowing the lawn. Didn't know what hit me. Freaked out, left the mower on and ran as fast as I could inside. My butt was sore for days!

Oh my gosh!!! You literally made me laugh so outright loud just now! I'm sorry, it probably wasn't funny at the time but just picturing the scene made me smile for the first time in hours, so...thank you for that! :)

My follow up for MMR is next Thu. Do you think they'll go ahead and give the Hep B then, it'll be a week early.

Not sure...on the sheet it says to space them no less than 4 weeks apart...I'd ask the doc just to be on the safe side.

Just thinking about the whole scene is cracking me up! Can you imagine looking out your window and you see your neighbor mowing the lawn like any other day and out of no where she's got her arms in the air and running around the yard?LOL!!! I know I'd be laughing!
