    todell80 replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

  2. Stages of infection?

    todell80 replied to TruDivaRN's topic in General Students

    We had to learn that for our first test on Monday. I remembered the order w/ the acronym IPIC (I pee I see!!). Sort of stupid but it helped me!

  3. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

    todell80 posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, I don't really hate them, but they sure don't like me! I have tried on every pair of white scrub pants at Wal-Mart and our nursing supply store, and they all are the same: the mediums are too...

  4. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

    todell80 replied to todell80's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all your tips, guys! When I get my loan checks, I will definetly be trying some of those brands out, even if I have to mail-order them. I broke down and bought the only pair of large...

  5. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

    todell80 replied to todell80's topic in General Students

    Well, I went out of town today, to a bigger uniform store, and still no luck with a pair that fits very well. I think I'm going to just go w/ the big ones, and if my teacher has a problem w/ them,...

  6. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

    todell80 replied to todell80's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I have given up looking good in them. The problem is, one of our clinical instructors is very particular in how they fit. She doesn't want them to be tight, but they can't balloon out at all....

    todell80 replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I can't believe you get your loan so fast!! Ours aren't even mailed out until Sept. 22nd. I asked one time why they wait so dang long, and they gave me some lame excuse about how students would...

  9. HELP Everyone says I can't be a Nurse!

    todell80 replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can empathize with you so much. My family (my mother in particular) is so negative about everything I do. When I first told her I was going back to school for nursing, she said, "But you don't...

  10. College Textbook Scams! Please read!

    todell80 replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, I had to purchase all my books at our bookstore. I charge them to the school, and they use my financial aide to pay for it. I don't have the money to buy them online, even though it...

  13. Do I need a recorder....

    todell80 replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am planning to record my lectures, and listen to them in the car. It takes 10 minutes to get to my mom's where my kids are, then 20 minutes to get to class. I will have to do that twice a day, so...

  14. Found out something good!

    todell80 replied to shananin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck w/ getting in! At my school, the class of RN's that just graduated was entirely alternates that had started out on the next year's list!! Weird, huh? I was supposed to be in the Fall 2007...

  15. See-thru white scrubs

    todell80 replied to blueberry21's topic in General Students

    I read this thread last night, so when I went to Wal-Mart later, I decided to look for beige undies. They didn't have hardly any!! I did find some on a display w/ cami's, bras, boyleg and bikini...

  16. Orientation: What was your experience?

    todell80 replied to SummerGarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had our orientation WAAAAAY back in March, and it was okay. The day before we had a huge blizzard, so the roads were really bad. I am pretty close, so it was okay for me, but there were a few...

    todell80 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    todell80 replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    todell80 replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love English, but I can understand how overwhelming it can be. Esp. papers. I love to write, but I hate to make the citation page. I found this website which helped SOOOO much. You just click on...

  20. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

    todell80 replied to JoshuaC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had the unfortunate experience of buying all my books today. The computer program they use to charge the books to our financial aide was down, so it took the better part of my day waiting around...

  21. Rejection/Waitlist

    todell80 replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
