has anyone found a brand of the compression stockings that they like in particular and are the best quality? i'm planning to order a few pairs off of allheart.com, but there are so many different brands...

it really depends on the group that applies. you can go on CSULB's website (under student info) and check out the averages from past students who applied. i currently am in the program, and i had a 4.0 for prereq general ed and a 3.0 for prereq sci...

to get into csulb's nursing program, they select the top 90 students NOT based on lottery. the top 90 students are selected based on: science prereqs GPA, general prereqs GPA, TEAS overall test score, and TEAS math score. the nursing department uses...

has anyone used the nursing diagnosis book by carpenitos? if not, what book do you find useful?

does anyone have experience working in this hosp? if so, how do you like it? i'm debating whether or not to work here after i graduate...does anyone know what they pay new grads? i tried calling their HR dept, but the person was unavailable..

hey everyone... my school is requiring us to buy from dove apparel. for those of you who use their uniforms, do they shrink?? i was also unable to try on the unisex pants and i don't know what size to get! (luckily i was able to try on the tops). ...

just a general note for those who are buying their littman stethoscopes off of ebay or any other unauthorized store- there are a lot of fakes being sold around. i read a statement from 3m/littmann on their website regarding this issue (i was looking...

they haven't given our schedules yet, i think they said in about a week it'll be e-mailed to us. i can't wait!! thanks for all the replies everyone

that's the main issue im concerned about. nursemates has so many different pressures: firm compression (11-13mmHg), moderate (8-10mmHg), and medically correct compression (15-20mmHg)...too bad i can't try any on before i buy! haha

lol oh no lorenzo! i thought the fabric looked realllly stiff and unbreathable when i saw it haha...i wish we could just wear normal white scrubs or something. laangelsfan- i'm in the trimester program too! i just found out today during orientation...

thanks all for your replies! i wish i could pick any uniforms off of their site, but my school requires specific tops. they require the TLC top (the one that buttons in the back) or the zip-top. i just bought both because i was unsure which would b...

soo my orientation is coming up in about a week. they'll be doing a lottery to select whether students will enter the trimester (2 year) or traditional (3 year) program. i haven't decided which program i prefer (i'm sure they'll allow a few students...

i second the user suesquatch's opinion. i ordered my Littmann Cardiology III from steeles.com as well! i was debating between allheart.com and steeles.com, but went with steeles because they offer laser engraving on the actual bell for an additiona...

thanks! hehe yeah i remember. good luck and i hope everything works out for u. i also remember seeing in some other post that u attended saddleback college...i went there too! i did my general ed there and then transferred to csulb. are u almost ...

AshNeha113- your friends are probably talking about the "Percentile Rank - Program" score when you receive your TEAS test results. that is the score that compares the students within that program. however, the "adjusted composite score" does not co...

saddleback doesn't have 15 units of nursing a semester...that's only if you include general education, which many students who enter have already fulfilled. saddleback has an average of 7 units of core nursing a semester.

that sounds about normal. i'm attending csulb's nursing program, but i live in mission viejo (south oc) and have taken classes at saddleback. have u tried looking into santa ana college? you mentioned you have a BA...some colleges have a 15 month pr...

bertolozzi- i guess each individual CSU uses different TEAS scores. i was told by SDSU's nursing department that all schools used the same TEAS score, but apparently not since your school is using the "percentile rank - program" score. i attend CSU...

actually, the TEAS "adjusted composite score" does include the curve. your "adjusted composite score" is composed of the number of questions you answered correctly divided by the total number of questions on the test, which is then adjusted for the d...

i was just accepted into the BSN program for spring '07. i start the program at the end of january (we also have an orientation in the middle of jan), but the anticipation is killing me! what is the first semester like? is it really hectic? how stren...

i agree 110% with siamcat. the children's well-being and safety should be the #1 priority- no matter what. in california, there are government programs that help assist families with childcare needs. i'm not sure what state you live in, but i am sure...

that's what i plan on doing...combining nursing and law. i don't know exactly what i'll specialize in yet, tort law maybe?

hmm...this is an interesting post for me because i'm going to school for my BSN right now, but then i plan on going to law school. can't wait to hear other responses.. what made u change your mind?

does anyone have a minor, and if so, in what field? why did you choose that minor? (i'm debating between sociology and child development/family studies for my minor) thanks

thanks for your replies everyone after some consideration, i think i'm going to do child development and family studies. i want to specialize in pediatrics as an RN/NP, and then eventually become an attorney in family law. it seems that minor would...
