Greetings! My name is Lisa. I am 30-years-old. I have been married for 11-years and have 2 beautiful, wonderful children (9-year-old daughter & 1-year-old son)! I am currently enrolled in my first semester of a 2-year ADN program and I am taking...

Hello everyone! I was just wondering what goals you might be setting for yourself as a newbie nursing student and, as well, what area of nursing do you think you want to work in when you finish school? I plan to study hard and make the most of my stu...

Greetings everyone! I was wondering if any of you pros have any good study tips for the newbie nursing students. Like tips on note taking, using a tape recorder, using flash cards, using highlighters, etc, etc, etc. I'm asking because its been a whi...

I had separation anxiety too. I took my 15-month-old son to daycare for the first time today. I have been home with him since the day he was born and honestly, I had a big empty hole in my heart the whole time I was away from him ... I missed him so ...

Hello everyone! I will be starting a 2-year ADN program this month. I will be taking Fundamentals of Nursing (lecture, lab and clinical) and Pharmacology. I was wondering what everyone has been doing to get prepared for nursing school. Since I purcha...

Well, I'm pretty much doing the same things you all are doing. Cleaning house, trying to get organized and things like that. I've purchased my books, uniforms, shoes, stockings and all the other misc. school supplies ... paper, index cards, folders, ...

Greetings! I just wanted to let you know that I got my new nursing shoes from the JC Penney scrubs catalog. They are Cherokee Rockers Lights the style is Jasmine. I must say that I absolutely lllooovvveee them! They are very light and comfortable and...

When I was pregnant and worked in the operating room I wore the traditional OR scrub attire (drawstring pants and scrub top) they were very comfortable and didn't look too awful bad. Just make sure you're comfortable ... that's the main thing.

I have all my prereqs finished and will be starting the ADN program in the fall. My schedule looks like this ... Pharmacology - Monday Fundamentals of Nursing Lecture/Lab - Tuesdays Fundamentals of Nursing Clinical/Lecture - Wednesday Good luck to al...

I know a few Canadian nurses who came to work in Florida on a work visa. I think they went through an agency in order to come to the USA. I asked them why they chose to work in Florida and they said that it was easier to get the work visa for Florida...

I work everyday as a caregiver, maid, cook, laundry attendant, dishwasher and taxi cab driver! Low and behold ... I must be a mother! Don't worry ... I love my job! LOL!

Greetings Sarah and welcome. My name is Lisa. I will be starting a 2-year ADN program in the fall. It is my hope to continue in the future towards a BSN. As for now the 2-year program suits my needs. I am 29, married and have 2 beautiful children. Th...

I also had to test out of algebra by taking the CPT algebra portion. I purchased "Math Smart" by The Princeton Review from my mall bookstore for about $9.00. It was a great book and taught me everything I needed to know for the CPT and was very easy...

I finally recieved my acceptance letter and will be attending the ADN program in the fall. I'm so excited! This is something that I've wanted for such a long time and now it's finally happening! :roll

Any suggestions for a good nursing shoe that is not too expensive? The ADN program that I am starting in the fall requires us to have "nursing shoes" not "tennis shoes". Anything that looks like a tennis shoe is not acceptable. I was thinking of tryi...

When I had to take the college level algebra placement test I used a book call "Math Smart" by the Princeton Review ($9.00 at the mall bookstore). I had never taken Algebra in high school, only general math, and I only had a basic (very basic) unders...

I stopped working 1-year ago in May to stay home with my newborn son. He is now 1-year-old and I will be starting ADN in the fall. I was always leary of putting a small child in daycare (hence, thats why I stayed home the first year) but now that he ...

I'm starting in the fall too. I'm so excited. I just got my acceptance letter in the mail this past Saturday! I just heaved a sigh of relief. It was absolute torture waiting and wondering. But finally all my hard work has paid off and I got in! Now I...

Congratulations and Best Wishes for Success! It sounds like we have a lot in common! I too will be attending ADN in the fall. I have a very supportive husband ( we'll be married 11 years next Saturday) and two beautiful, intelligent children! I feel ...

I wouldn't give up just yet. Check with the hospitals in your area. I know that where I live the hospitals offer a program where you sign a contract and they will pay for your schooling then you just work for them until your contract is fullfilled. T...

I once worked at a hospital where different units/floors had a specific uniform (yes colors & prints). It was very nice because we could differentiate as to where everyone belonged.

Congrats and Best Wishes for Sucess! I am also waiting to hear for an acceptance into a 2-year ADN. I know what you've been going through ... all the waiting and wondering, as well as hovering over your telephone and mailbox - ha! Its torture. I figu...

The first exam is always the worst exam. At least now you'll know what to expect in the future. Good luck!

Congrats. I am so happy for you! I hoping to get the same good news within the next few days.

I worked for a physician owned surgery center who provided us with catered lunches everyday. We also had an annual clambake (all the food and "beverages" you wanted) and as well an annual christmas party that was totally the best I've ever attended. ...
