  2. Today, we saw our pin. I must say, I am disappointed. Our school symbol (some sort of metal structure) is on it & it looks like a member :imbar . Have you guys ever seen a "bomb-pop"? It is a...
  3. question for recent test takers

    We had a class - but learned nothing. I have been told that there is VERY LITTLE on the test. Just go over your review stuff and you will be fine. But, I will take the test in a few weeks and let...

  5. Can someone tell me about the belt with the clasp that was/is worn with the nursing uniforms? Does it serve a purpose? Is it tradition & if so, what is the story behind it? Reason for asking, is...

  10. Overseas Uniforms

    The patients seem to know who is who. Do you think it is a good idea? Is there a sense of non respect by who wears what color because it shows a difference in education and rank? Thanks again....

  12. Is it okay to love parts of nursing and hate others?

    That is sooooo me. I agree w/ my whole heart & soul. Funny thing with me is, if a pregnant woman is walking in one door, I will walk in another. After doing clinicals 2 times in PACU, it...
  13. What is your grading scale in nursing school?

    A - 100-90 B - 89-80 C - 79-75 Anything below 75 is failing. As far as our NCLEX rate - our school had 100% last graduating class & usually maintained a 98% 3yrs. prior to that. They really weed...

  18. I have ringworm & worried about clinicals

    Thank you for your input. My husband is going to get me something from the drug store. I used to work w/race horses, I got it from them. One of the people, whom I trusted, told me that it was a ring...
  19. Love those Nursing Caps..

    Even though I am only in my 1st semester in LPN school, I am praying that I graduate. But, I am wanting to know if I can wear & thin, black stripe after graduation. I am aware that each nursing...

  21. Different Cap Styles

    Can someone/anyone tell me the difference or the meaning behind the different sytles of caps? Some look like dixie cups, others have huge wings - some are small & compact w/ small wings? Is it...
