2. An embarassing problem, but I need help!

   txgrlnad replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

   I'm not much help... but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. lol! My stomach gets terribly upset anytime before a test, before performing a skill for the first time in front of my instructor, etc. and I'll have to run to the restroom...

3. regular backpack or one with wheels

   txgrlnad replied to Sincere24's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Yeah, I suppose it depends on your instructor. Through college I was able to use a shoulder bag... but since nursing school, they usually require that we bring most of our books... so I of course bought a rolling backpack. A good 90% of the nursing ...

4. What's your favorite pair of nursing shoes?

   txgrlnad replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I regret ever buying my Dansko Professionals... and apparently I'm the only one in this post who disagrees w/ buying them. I've almost twisted my ankle three times w/ them on and they're just way too heavy to walk in. I'll take my Nike Shox any day...

5. what kind of watch do you wear?

   txgrlnad replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I bought this watch too at WalMart. I found they also have it at Kohls. I fell in love when I saw it just b/c I absolutely love Mickey and Minnie and the fact that she was dressed as a nurse was cute... But there's no way I could wear that watch outs...

6. Good rolling backpacks?

   Oops.. Didn't realize someone already posted the same thing today. Sorry guys. :)

7. Good rolling backpacks?

   txgrlnad posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Hi all! What are some good rolling backpacks that you can recommend that are spacious enough, durable, don't fall over due to all the books possibly, etc??? And where'd you buy yours at? Thanks for any help. :)

8. Nursing Shoes

   txgrlnad replied to luckylin08's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I keep hearing New Balance are good shoes to buy. I own a pair of Nike Shox and they are sooo comfortable! I'll probably go to the mall to look for some white ones. Just don't buy Dansko Professionals for Women if you even considered maybe buying the...

9. STATS online...would you do it?

   txgrlnad replied to tinybabynurse's topic in General Students

   I've always been good at any type of Math class except Statistics. I took College Algebra online in college and made an easy A b/c I organized my time to finish all of the homework and tests, etc. I kept thinking I was crazy for signing up to take S...

10. Tcc Nursing

    txgrlnad replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas

    I agree w/ a lot of what bob7rob7 said... but I keep seeing posts saying "Oh, you have to have a 4.0 or close to it to get accepted..." and "you MUST have A's in all of your science classes..." This apparently isn't so with everyone, b/c I was accept...

11. Tcc Nursing

    txgrlnad replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas

    I took most of my classes at NE campus, and I took a couple online. For Chemistry I had Kucera, but I've also heard Patrick is a really good professor. For A&P I took Pulse over the summer at NE campus, but he mostly teaches over at SE campus. Fo...

12. Quit nursing school?

    txgrlnad replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

    It's crazy how much we sound alike on some of these things. I'm book smart as well, but when it comes to actually having to apply the material, I can't seem to do it. I didn't have any experience at all going into nursing either btw. I've never chang...

    I know you're at South, but Matthai at the NE campus is wonderful! I'd recommend him to anybody.
