I know for us that if we arent actually in clinicals we are not allowed to wear our clinical uniform. I would definately ask your CI what would be appropriate to wear. Let us know how it goes, Im sure it will be very interesting!!

Good Luck! Let me tell you it can be a little intimidating at first but you get into the swing of things. Let us know how it goes!!!!

Congrats!:yelclap: I wish you the best of luck! The only thing I would say about having so much going on at once is ask for help from others to get things done. Weddings can be hard, very stressful and put a strain on the best relationships but when ...

The most exciting thing to you is that you are finally going to get to clean your house.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Mosbys review for RN?

Its good to hear you say that about the Littman classic.My husband suprised me with mine so I never really compared it with others. But hey it was given with love so it has to be the best ever right!!

Its really hard to believe that Monday will be my first day of nursing school!!! Its almost kinda shocking after spending so much time worrying about whether I was going to get in or not!! Ill be praying for a good beginning for everyone!:)

Yep my forst trip to the bookstore was over $900 and I had to go back for some more stuff and it was $200! The good news is that after this semester I only have to buy like six books for the rest of my classes!!!:yelclap:
