  12. What medical shows do you watch?

    Love Grey's Anatomy, ER (even though it has been on too long), House and a new show on TNT called Saved. More paramedic drama then nursing, but still really good, and of course, TLC and Disovery health programs
  13. Did Anyone Live Off of Student Loans While in School?

    As an undergrad I used student loan money to pay rent, tuition, books and other expenses, but still worked. Another thing to consider is that the disbursal for student loans is sometimes erratic which could leave you in the lurch for bills that have...

    I had the same problem. I installed two shelves above my desk to hold all of my books. They are pretty heavy duty though. I got them at Home Depot. It does help to have all of my things in one space.

  16. I thought JC were CHEAPER than UC

    I am also in Maryland and there is a huge difference b/w our university and CC. I took a couple of classes at the CC this summer and the book prices were outrageous. The SAME books at the university were much cheaper. I heard that it was because t...

    Thanks everyone for your help. I finally emailed the secretary for the nursing department and I got it figured out. The nursing bundle is all the required books for classes. The bookstore listed some of the books seperately, then the bundle with n...

    I have used a clip-on watch that I got at Target for $10. I clip it on my stethoscope and have never had any problems with sound/scrapping the scope. You can get them in all designs and I never have to take it off to wach my hands.
  21. Have you had Orientation for School yet?

    I start classes Aug 28th and our orientation is the 29th and 31st; when our clinical days are. I am a little nervous about having a day of classes without having orientation, but oh well...can't wait!!!!

    That is an option I am leaving open for the future. I was all set to apply to medical school after four year college ( with a major is biology/biochem) but I got side tracked by a useless masters in public health at an prestigious, expensive private...
  23. I, too, have had problems with Allheart. Not only for slow/no service, but the pants have always shrunk. I am 5'11" so I can't afford much "shrinkage". I bought pants from Aramark-Uniform.com the other day for around 5.00 each and scrub tops for a...
