  5. I need stethoscope suggestions

    tachybradyRN replied to JettaDP's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a cheap, sprague-style no-name stethoscope that works just as well as my friends' Littmanns, in my opinion. It's all up to how much you want to spend; but do keep in mind that stethscopes,...

  7. Question for Female Nurses

    tachybradyRN replied to keaton90's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend is a teacher, but if he were a nurse, or a doctor, or a chef, or whatever, I don't think it would matter to me. He's a great guy I care deeply about, and I'm happy he's financially...

  8. Backpack that can hold 6+ books?

    tachybradyRN replied to shann106's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm sure if you look you could find one to suit your needs; however, I've *never* needed to bring a text to class. My teachers all taught off powerpoints and handouts and notes on the blackboard, so...

  12. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    tachybradyRN replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    Lol, for the last time, required scrub-dresses are now all but obsolete, if not complete obsolete. Paper scrub tops/bottoms or loaner cloth tops/bottoms are the norm in ORs and other areas where you...

  13. NCC N.Student looking to switch sections!

    tachybradyRN replied to Natingale's topic in New York Nursing

    You should mention that you're in Nursing 101, also. There may be other sections with the same name (e.g. G6) for 105, 203, and 204. Also, I'd recommend going to the V bldg and posting a note on the...

  14. Desperate for A LPN or RN program

    tachybradyRN replied to lpnserria's topic in New York Nursing

    I was going to say, couldn't you retake Chem? Most schools allow you to retake, and keep the higher grade, any classes you've

  15. NCC vs Stony Brook

    tachybradyRN replied to Risgirl's topic in New York Nursing

    I can only speak on behalf of NCC, as I am a current student there, and it's a tough but very good program. I got in with a 3.79 or a 3.83, I can't remember what my GPA was that semester. Spring is...

  16. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    tachybradyRN replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    PS: I wore white full length hose in first semester, and hated it. Now I wear white knee-high hose even though we're not exactly supposed to, and it works out fine. It's not like anyone's checking!...

  18. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    tachybradyRN replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    Ehope: Nassau says that every year. You're not going to end up wearing a scrub dress anywhere these days. When you go to the OR to observe in 105, they make you change into paper scrub pants and a...

  19. Volunteer Nursing

    tachybradyRN replied to maggieo34's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard good things about Doctors without Borders, but I know they require a minimum stay in your placed area and I'm certain that it's much longer than two weeks (I think it's something like six...

  20. NCC Students -> Good Luck Today!

    tachybradyRN replied to Natingale's topic in New York Nursing

    Ehope: I'm a second year NCC student. I still have mine, I just take it out for clinicals. No one cares if you wear it to lecture/lab, as long as its a small screw/stud type. No hoops, obviously....

  22. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    tachybradyRN replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    In my RN program, we did not practice bathing each other. We practiced bed baths on mannequins. Let me tell you, everything is much different on a human than a mannequin, obviously. We did practice...

  23. ACCEPTED to Nassau Community College Fall 08

    tachybradyRN replied to AnotherMaleFocker's topic in General Students

    A lot of people said it was harder than 101. I found it to be slightly harder, but comparable. The hardest thing is the increased workload: you have to write a process record every week, along with...

    tachybradyRN replied to AnotherMaleFocker's topic in General Students

    Haha I have the twelve pound, one-edition style MedSurg book (got a great deal on some website for it) and it's hard to lug around! And yes, AnotherMale... Koziers Fundamentals of Nursing and Brunner...

    tachybradyRN replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    Unless those people are directly involved in that nurse's/doctor's wife's care, they have no right or reason to be looking through their information, especially if they plan to discuss it or use it...
