    What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    NottaSpringChik replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    My CNA tops were white and that's what I did! I was actually pretty surprised I didn't have them covered with spots, but to my surprise I didn't do too bad. I felt strange though. I never wear white...

    What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    NottaSpringChik replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Purple scrubs. They've changed them from last year, which were Navy. Our patch is white and navy cause they're the ones from last year. It's okay. I'm glad they're not white, but like a few of you...

    How long were you on a waitlist?

    NottaSpringChik replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ohhh OUCH! I have also been on the ACC waitlist 3 years. I get paranoid all the time about the acceptance letter getting lost or something like that. Did you talk to ACC? Are you sure you got dumped...

    How Helpful was the Anatomy coloring book for you?

    NottaSpringChik replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know you work nights when.......

    NottaSpringChik replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    You wake up and the clock says 10:00. You have no idea if that is day or night. You wonder if you came home from work and fell asleep in the morning or just woke up from a nap and must report to work...

    I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    NottaSpringChik replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    I also totally disagree with this, and I have been that patient before I decided to become a nursing student. If my nurse had said, "I'll get the CNA," and walked away from me it would have been so...
