In my community clinical rotation we used laundry detergent containers for needles and lancets. They actually work very well. Just make sure they are thick enough, most are.

If you're looking to work as a nurse and want a four year degree I would think there's no reason why not to go straight to a college or university that offers a nursing program. It also helps narrow down all those college options! I'm in a four year university now with a nursing major and i'm in love with it. I obviously don't know all the college that offer the program but I do know of a few: University of Pennsylvania, University of Delaware, Villanova, Boston College, University of Pittsburg, Georgetown, Penn State, University of Conneticut, and about a billion more...hope this helped some! good luck!!

thank you for saying that was a generalization! I plan on going to grad school for my NP right after graduation but that's just because I want to be more experienced and prepared for my profession. to respond to the original question, my program is pretty good at weeding out the students that just want an 'easy' career opportunity and good salary. mostly because our program happens to be very challenging so our admissions office doesn't think that people in it for the wrong reasons will be happy with the work load. i think everyone in my class is really passionate about their future profession (granted there's less than 100 of us, but still!) I think those looking to nursing for the wrong reasons will most likely bail out pretty early. Personal opinion, sorry if i offended anyone!!
