    coopman712 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I start school in 2 months and we were sent a list/website to order our uniform and supplies. The list is not all that detailed nor is the site. I'm OK with the uniform stuff, but unsure about the...

  3. Part Time Programs?

    coopman712 replied to PhilaGuy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Wow- so glad you are in remission. What an inspirational story as to why you want to do this. I too found myself starting over due to some experiences in my past that led me here. I am 35, have a BA...

  4. Part Time Programs?

    coopman712 replied to PhilaGuy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. New student needs help with gear!

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! 15/hr does seem way low! I was curious more about the hospital affiliated centers/ clinics as opposed to private offices. Endoscopy, ambulatory surgery, etc. I figured they would...

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks everyone! I actually saw the big one in the store. It is small next to my A&P text! My professor doesn't require it, just recommended it. I figure I will need it down the line anyway....

  21. Which Mosby's dictionary to get?

    coopman712 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am a pre-nursing student and my A&P professor suggested we get a Mosby's dictionary. Someone here mentioned they like the hardcover better b/c it is more thorough. Part of me wants the pocket...

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow thanks for all of the great advice. Unfortunately I don't have too many extra hours to devote to the lab other than class time. I study every night at home though (I've got 2 kids). Great ideas...

    coopman712 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    coopman712 replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the input. I didn't realize the pocket edition would be lacking. I thought of getting that one for sheer convenience since it is smaller to carry around if I need it. I think I will get...
