    IrishIzCPNP replied to 09RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pink Littman (Breast Cancer....$5 donated to charity) and a burgundy Littman (Cardiac one and didn't have a lot of color choices...gummed). There was an ALL black cardiac one I thought about...

    Do any students deal with a nervous stomach or IBS?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to time2fly's topic in General Students

    I've used Nulev when I had the cramping. It really helps with the cramping which helps curb the urgency. They have sub-lingual and I took them as needed and they worked FAST. They have a regular...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to nadeige's topic in General Students

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Linz8's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of shoes from a Life Uniforms and they are fine but not great. I have heard too many good things about Dansko so I plan to get a pair of shoes from them. I was told they have an...

    Good website for Nursing Gear?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like http://www.reddingmedical.com They are about the same in price as allheart but I didn't have the best experience with allheart. They took forever to ship my items. I freaked out because I...

    What's your pick for the perfect nurses watch?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to MShell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Would you believe that where I am they just put clocks on rooms. I have been in isolation rooms that do not have clocks. Now I don't know if the entire hospital got clocks but one floor did. The wrist...

    What's your pick for the perfect nurses watch?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to MShell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So a couple of questions then since I can't understand how this will work very well.... Do you pin it low enough that you can see it just by looking down? I'm feeling like it also hang and maybe twist...

    "How to talk to Doctors"

    IrishIzCPNP replied to labfreak's topic in General Students

    Wow never thought about how to do it...unless in a report fashion which would be SBAR. Anything else I approach them as I would anyone else. This past weekend I grabbed myself 2 docs. The first came...

    What's your pick for the perfect nurses watch?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to MShell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like a cheap wrist watch with military time. The lapel ones are a good idea except if you are in a room without a clock on the wall it might be a pain to take a pulse since you won't have the watch...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    I honestly can't say enough nice things about http://www.reddingmedical.com I am not associated with them!!! I bought a stethoscope from them with laser engraving and I had it in 24 hours. I don't...

    Sallie Mae - Private Loans

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    Yeah can't see how it really effects me negatively so I'm not worried. I asked my guy where would I begin and he told me a few things I could do with teri in there as a good starting point. I don't...

    Sallie Mae - Private Loans

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I'm not really aware of the situation. I went and googled it and didn't find anything alarming for me. The financial aid guy in my school recommended Teri to me. Teri helps you get a loan through a...

    Best/fave stethoscope

    IrishIzCPNP replied to wan2banrseNms's topic in General Students

    Just curious...how fast did it wear away for you? I wonder if the different places maybe use a different technique because I've heard some people say the engraving lasted a while. I went with...

    Best/fave stethoscope

    IrishIzCPNP replied to wan2banrseNms's topic in General Students

    Ditto except I bought my own. I had another Littman first before I bought this one. I was trying to hear a woman's heart and couldn't. Yes that's right just her heart. I said something to the...

    Sallie Mae - Private Loans

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    The loan I got through Teri kind of did. They contacted my school to find out cost. My school did not tell them the cost of credits only. They have the cost of credits, books, gas and so on. When...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I went through Teri. I do not work. I had my husband co-sign...he's the only one I would consider "asking". It went through just fine. I think it's their way of making sure there's some financial...

    group tests in nursing school ***??

    IrishIzCPNP replied to br107's topic in General Students

    You realize in many cases you take it individually first and that's the grade you will get in the worst case scenario. If your group does better then you...you can get extra points. So in the end...

    Sallie Mae - Private Loans

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I have a Teri loan and it was also all done online. If you got the loans at different times the rates could vary for that reason alone so it's hard to compare the rates other people have. It looks...

    Sallie Mae - Private Loans

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I went through www.teri.org I was able to get a loan that will give me 12 months before I start repaying! My loan ended up coming from Citizens Bank...through Teri. I was very happy with them. I...
