  1. Do you wear Mizuno's?/Need clinical shoes

    kitsune01 replied to phluteloop's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm a loyal mizuno wearer as well and just started nursing school. I was so annoyed to find out that mizuno doesn't make anything that would fit the dress code (black or white leather). I was hoping...

  2. UCHSC Traditional, Spring 2009

    kitsune01 replied to nikenike808's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just started this summer, and I don't think anyone in my class lives in the area near campus. (Of course there are over 100 of us, so I haven't exactly done an extensive survey) There are some new...

  3. Denver School of Nursing Fall 2008

    kitsune01 replied to albpreemieRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm a fellow californian (bay area) transplanted to denver for nursing school, although I'm at CU, not DSON. I just thought I'd drop in to offer some advice about housing and transportation from...

  4. Scrubs that won't make me look like a blimp...

    kitsune01 replied to CanuckStudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For school, we have to have the plain one pocket style. Dickies seems to make two styles of those, and both fit me in xs without looking like a sack. However, they are still pretty boxy, but that is...

  5. Help! I can't find scrubs that fit anywhere!

    kitsune01 replied to desertgal281's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Here are some kids scrubs: http://www.gelscrubs.com/classickids.html They aren't that cheap though. I'm 5'2'' and 115, and an xs in dickies drawstring pants fits me perfectly, but in the hipflip and...

  6. Scrubs that won't make me look like a blimp...

    kitsune01 replied to CanuckStudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have you tried dickies? I'm 5'2'' and thin, although not all that curvy, and of all the tops I've tried on dickies tops seem to look the least like potato sacks on me. I also have a pair of Koi...

  7. Black scrubs?

    kitsune01 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My uniform for clinicals for my RN program is black scrubs with the school logo on the top. I'm pretty happy that A) we get to wear scrubs instead of some silly student uniform, and we can wear any...

  8. skills check off tomorrow--blood pressure..help!

    kitsune01 replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    The problem is that if you are having trouble hearing through your stethoscope, or you don't have it positioned right over the artery, then it can be hard to hear the last korotkoff sound (where it...

  9. skills check off tomorrow--blood pressure..help!

    kitsune01 replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    I had my checkoff on tuesday. I've done enough BPs before that I felt somewhat confident, but I had one partner that I had the hardest time finding the brachial pulse on, (it was really deep), and it...

  10. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    kitsune01 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I wouldn't give up hope that quickly. My undergrad GPA was 3.2 (although from a fairly prestigious state school), I had As in stat, micro, physiology and anatomy lab, but a B in anatomy from my...

  12. Plan B: Changing Majors?

    kitsune01 replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting into nursing school is just crazy. , especially in the bay area. Have you looked at oregon schools? Many of the community colleges have agreements with OHSU, so that you get your ASN in two...

  13. In the nick of time!

    kitsune01 replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations on getting in to your first choice!!!! That's awesome. And congratulations for hanging in there and surviving what must have been an incredibly stressfull time for you. Waiting for the...

  14. The Hobet

    kitsune01 replied to conley1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought the HOBET was for paramedic programs, and maybe rt and xray tech. At least that's how it's used in california. I've seen prep books for it at borders and other chain

  15. UCHSC clinical question

    kitsune01 replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I had the same problem. I called Betty at the registrar's office (her number is on one of the forms with the registration instructions), and she added me to the lecture manually. If that's who you...

  16. UCHSC clinical question

    kitsune01 replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hey, Work in Progress, what health assessment lab did you sign up for? I'm in the tuesday afternoon section. I registered as soon as the system was open this morning, which turned out to be worth it,...

  17. OHSU's ABS program

    kitsune01 replied to Harte's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Same here, I finally got my rejection letter, but I'd already decided to go elswhere. My rejection letter was actually sitting in the pile of mail just under my registration packet for the school I...

  18. UCHSC clinical question

    kitsune01 replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    How many clinical sites are there to choose from for each class? Are there any hospitals that you would recommend or warn against for clinicals? Also, for peds and ob do you get to spend any time in...

  19. UCHSC supply list?

    kitsune01 replied to TemperStripe's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Do they care at all what kind of black scrub pants you get? Are cargo scrubs okay? I went by the bookstore and saw that the logo scrubs they have are gelscrubs, which I've tried on and they don't fit...

  20. OHSU's ABS program

    kitsune01 replied to Harte's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah, both the other schools I applied to told me in march. I got into one outright, and was accepted off the waitlist for the other last week, and I have tell them by friday. So OHSU has sort of...

  21. OHSU's ABS program

    kitsune01 replied to Harte's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Has anyone else heard from them yet? The email they sent last week made it sound like they didn't really know when they were going to notify

  22. Coloring books for A&P

    kitsune01 replied to MikeInCO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kapit and Elson seems to be the gold standard (it was the original anatomy coloring book). There is a separate physiology book by Kapit and someone else. I took anatomy and physiology separately and...

  23. OHSU's ABS program

    kitsune01 replied to Harte's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That really sounds like an odd admissions process - decisions "trickling in" from faculty would be understandible for a grad program with multiple specialties, but for the abs program you would think...

  24. UCDHSC Waitlist?

    kitsune01 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just got the thin envelope from UCDHSC and found out I was waitlisted. I was a little suprised because the admission info said they don't have a waitlist. Does anyone know anything about how their...

  25. UCDHSC Waitlist?

    kitsune01 replied to kitsune01's topic in Colorado Nursing

    They are pulling people from the waitlist now - I got the call this morning. I was offered a choice of summer or spring (chose summer) and I have until the end of the month to commit (although I...
