we have to wear all white leather shoes to clinical. at school, we've been wearing any kind of tennis shoes, close toed.

anywhere from cornerstone, clear lake regional, memorial hermann, ben taub, methodist, san jacinto methodist in baytown, TIRR, VA, med center, etc. basically, anywhere!

iclickers is like...the instructor has a question up and everyone clicks their own answers then a graph will show how many people picked A, B, C, or D. we barely used it last semester and we dont even use it this summer. even though they demand us to have it, they should put it to some more use!

most of the books you buy during your first semester is used through the next few semesters after that, so thats a good thing

no, im not the one that took the nclex. i wish i was that far ahead already! lol. im still in the program, halfway through.

just dress casual to orientation. jeans and a tshirt will do. hehe. just not too trashy.

i wouldnt register for any other classes now. theyll schedule ur nursing classes, so youll have to schdeule other classes around them. register when u know ur nursing schedule

at my orientation we had to buy the uniforms and one lab pack. the difference between the lab packs are the stethoscopes. i remember paying a lil over 400 for my uniform and the lab pack with the littman classic.

theres no specific dress code for the orientation. just dress casually, nothing too hoochie or whatever. lol btw, im in the program in the 3rd medsurg/critical care semester right now this summer. good luck to all of you guys, enjoy your break right now bcus youll miss it when school starts! lol

how much of the stuff we learn in nursing school do we actually use/retain in real ife nursing? there seems to be so much stuff to learn and seems like i dont remember everything in past classes.

they schedule your nursing courses for you. you have no control over it. they will post up the schedule and you register for the class you are put in

im in the nursing program at san jac, and dont remember even getting an email that said my application was recieved.

both of my patients today were on nexium. primary patient has myasthenia gravis. doctor was talking to her today about d/c instructions and said that she needs it bcus she is on high dose of steroids and its to protect her stomach. he also out her on antibiotics to prevent infections from the steroids? secondary patient had a left radial fracture PMHx of HIV. on two antivirals for hiv and she was on nexium also. in this case i dont know why she would be on nexium.

Nexium is used for GERD, healing of erosive esophagus, acid reflux. Is it also given for other reasons? like antibiotic? im confused. ive been taking care of patients that dont have gerd, erosive esophagus, acid reflux and theyre on nexium. are there other reasons a patient would be taking nexium?

thanks for all your input and advice, i really appreciated it :)
