Never said I would be working behind a desk. That was an [incorrect] inference. My dream job would be as a nurse at my pediatrician's office -- very little desk work there!

I was asking only ​about the specific stone, not about whether I should wear a ring to work or not...just if the stone I'm thinking about will be tough enough to handle work.

Rings with bling. They have to be engagement rings/wedding bands (so no cocktail rings just for the fun of it), but your typical run of the mill engagement ring is absolutely allowed.

Oh, no financial strain here. We (my fiance) aren't buying a ring until we can afford it comfortably. I plan on working in an office setting, so I don't think a ring would be an issue. I know for a fact that my current employer allows rings (I'm an H...

I'm one of those never take my ring off girls. Always have been. Morganite is a stone that is fairly inexpensive and has a pink/peachy color to it. It's absolutely gorgeous, but it's not that hard (rated a 7.5-8 on the MOHS scale while in comparison ...

Personally, I say no. I have all the apps I need on my phone (and who doesn't have a smartphone these days?)...and I bring my laptop to school as well, so having a tablet too would be overkill. As far as books are concerned, there's a good chance you...

My uniform from my first program that I didn't complete was Caribbean blue pants and a white button up tunic with the school's patch on it. I kept it for awhile (when I thought I was going back to the program), but then got rid of it. I would've kept...

Anyone have the new Littmann Classic III? I'm searching for a stethoscope, and I am considering this one. It's brand new, just came out, and IMO, the main reason to get it would be the interchangeability of it. You can have an adult and a pediatric ...

Wow, that's intense! But from my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, in Canada LPN programs are more like American RN programs? We do both clinical (fieldwork in nursing homes/hospitals) and theory at the same time along with labs...so for e...

I did horribly in stats but am doing just fine in nursing school. Don't get discouraged by that!

I was saying that I as an HHA will be getting paid more than CNAs in my hometown. I moved for school, so I don't know what CNAs get paid in my new city, but I know about where I grew up. I didn't request too many hours -- just 20-30, and the agency r...

Hi guys! I was recruited by a large health care organization to be an HHA. I had applied to nursing assistant positions at one of their hospitals which is how they got my information. They said I qualified for the HHA since I have a semester of nursi...

Yeah, I'll get good scrubs when I get my license and a job...you know, when I've got some money lol

I don't want to spend much on scrubs right now because this is a temporary job -- I don't plan on being at it for more than a year at most because in December I'll be done with school and I want to take/pass my NCLEX by the beginning of March and hav...

I found some at Family Dollar :) $8 per top and bottom.

Thanks. I wasn't told anything about taking an exam, just showing skills...probably because I did a semester of nursing school already so the requirements are different.

My scrub bottoms that I had for clinical at school are from Walmart. Have no idea what they are, but I really like them!

I'm a pre-nursing student looking to get into working in a hospital setting for both exposure and experience. This summer, I really want to work as an aide at my local hospital. One of the hospitals near my school (actually -- the one that my sch...

Good luck! How long is your program?

I got my acceptance letter for LPN school today! It was from Medgar Evers in NYC for the spring 2015 semester! I was pretty sure I would get in since I'm almost done with my BA in psych and I started college as a nursing major and completed 1 clinica...

I got into another school (Trocaire College) and it's going really well. My average is around an 85-87, and I've been told that next semester is way easier!

Not sure I can really help...they didn't tell me any of what you're asking, sorry.

I personally don't find it necessary to spend 3 hours studying for 1 hour of class time. If I did that, it would mean 36 hours of studying a week, and I do maybe half that (on a good week) and am getting in the 80s and 90s on everything. My point isn...

My watch is a pretty cheap digital one that counts the seconds. All plastic and I really like it.

I'm working as hard as I am in school because I want to be a nurse. I want to help heal people and positively impact their lives, and I find nursing very interesting as well. I know I'm in the minority by a long shot, but I don't find nursing school ...
