  1. White Nursing Student Shoes

    Thoenix replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    https://www.6pm.com/p/alegria-debra-professional-morning-glory-white/product/9250775/color/736338 A little more expensive than you want, but any time you'll be on your feet a long time, paying...

  2. White Nursing Student Shoes

    Thoenix replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    Try 6pm. They do zappos' clearance and I've found Allegria shoes for $35 there at

  3. Questions upon questions! High Schooler!

    Thoenix replied to Schrmad23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I highly recommend that you speak to your guidance counsellors about the nursing programs in your area. Getting through a four year school with a BSN or other bachelor's degree is something that's...

  4. What should I take over summer?

    Thoenix replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unpopular opinion, I know, but I did A&P 1 over the summer--several hours a day, four days a week--and I felt like I really retained things better than I did for my A&P 2 class which was a...

  5. Pre-nursing Student: Lost of intrest or Feeling burned Out?

    Thoenix replied to EH.XX's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Frankly? I think this is a common feeling, especially for students who 'grasp' the material very easily. I know for me, there are days (and weeks) where I'm like "My grades are great so what's the...

  6. How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Thoenix replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "Sorry, I know you meant it in a friendly way, but I startle so easily that it's embarrassing sometimes. Can we keep touches to high fives/fist bumps/other alternative I see coming so I don't end up...

  7. Pharmacology Exam/Final Study Tips & Supplemental Material Suggestions

    Thoenix replied to akgreenberg92's topic in General Students

    Coloured pens are your best friend. Write out the name of the drug three times in one colour. Write out the category three times in another colour. (Best if you write name category name category...

  8. Fall 2019 Austin Community College ADN applicants (ACC)

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing skills is a great course. None of the work is hard and I don't know which instructors you have, but my instructors were incredible. Very available for questions and everything. We finish...

  9. Fall 2019 Austin Community College ADN applicants (ACC)

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So if you want to be sneaky, you can see at least tentatively what they have planned. Google the "Traditional Track Degree Plan", then go to the 'student self-serve' for registration and look up...

  10. Do nursing schools look at your entire unofficial transcripts?

    Thoenix replied to jaidon84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on the school. The school I've applied (a community college) to only looks at your grades in your pre- and co-requisites, nothing else. Other schools might look at

  11. Fall 2019 Austin Community College ADN applicants (ACC)

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The official application status page says that we should expect 'early to mid May' with acceptances coming in order of rank in the '2nd-3rd week of May.' I think if we are lucky, we might see some...

  12. Fall 2019 Austin Community College ADN applicants (ACC)

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not yet. The ranking emails were late enough that my Nursing Skills I class isn't expecting to hear anything for at least another week. We suspect that we'll get acceptance letters after the first...

  13. Help with school assignments & disability

    Thoenix replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    Yeah, once we're in the program we are expected to have our own stethoscopes. My problem is that a decent amplified one is literally twice as expensive as anyone else's. Otherwise, I figure if I...

  14. Help with school assignments & disability

    Thoenix replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    The school claims that there's no such thing as a reasonable accommodation beyond equipment accommodations. I can have an amplified stethoscope if needed (I'm a hearing aid user) at my own expense...

  15. Help with school assignments & disability

    Thoenix replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    Exactly. If the OP's classmates can't responsibly manage their own conditions (take a sabbatical to get symptoms under control and return a semester later, for example), then they aren't ready to be...

  16. Help with school assignments & disability

    Thoenix replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    To be clear, I don't think their lack of caring is a bad thing. It sets me up for a clear display of what nursing is, rather than one that's coddled and sets patients up for nursing mistakes. I...

  17. Help with school assignments & disability

    Thoenix replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    I've got documented learning disabilities. In classroom/lecture style classes, I get time and a half for testing and a specialized recording program. I've been told that when I get into the program...

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They sure don't make it easy to follow and they definitely make it more stressful and nervewracking than it needs to
