Ok I am totally cracking up here! :hpygrp: Watch out everyone we have a nurse with a penlight!! We should turn this into a critical thinking exercise....:chuckle

it is a bit depressing to read some of the threads on here so i decided to share my excitement. this week i received my beautiful littman stethoscope - in plum of course! i was so excited...still am. i have bought my shoes, scrubs, pen light, scisso...

Girl how do you stand the heat down there? I would die for sure! :weathersunhot: I actually have family that lives there. Congrats on school and good luck! I am so glad you stopped lurking.

We had oreintation on Tuesday and they told us that we had to come to lab in scrubs, which means I will be wearing them 3 days a week! They also told us to put our hair up, cut our nails, minimal makeup, one pair of small stud earrings only, hide al...

Ok classes start on Monday and my excitement is now at a ridiculous fever pitch. I got my books, which I think I need accident ins. on because they are so heavy. It was so exciting to tear into them and smelling that crisp paper which is soon to hi...

Please do not panic. They will be out of your system well before the 20th. I am an alcohol and drug counselor currently and have given many drug screens over the last nine years. They will not show up. If it makes you feel better you can drink pl...

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I just finished CPR training today. One step closer! I am ready to shock anyone in need. Does anyone want to be my guinea pig?

And I thought it was just me

1. ER - love chaos 2. Surgery - fascinated 3. Infertility - been there, understand the process But I am only beginning...who knows.

Thanks indymom...I had no idea. Learn something new all the time.

BTW when I stated that I knew people that had received this I did not mean this year, but previous years. Sorry for any confusion

Mrs. Frog, It states SSACI 2008-2009 GRANT NOTIFICATION You do not show financial need according to state program rules. See "General Eligibility Requirements" and "Information about State Grants' sections on reverse side. Awards may be revised or ...

My handbook makes me think they might say something to you. You have to have your hair pulled back if it is long. You can't have fake or long nails. You have to wear hose!! What the heck! They stress all day long to look professional. So that sa...

I received a notification from them two days ago telling me that I was not eligible. I didn't even apply for it. So my school must have. I do know students at Columbus have received it.

Where I am attending they require that you wear hunter green Landau scrubs. If the same is required at your school you could purchase them somewhere else as long as it is the same brand and style. I noticed on Allheart.com that they had some larger...

I just finished micro and all I can say is

I have a Samsonite rolling backpack and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I killed myself in my previous job lugging things around in a shoulder bag. Not worth it. Not to mention some of those books are insanely heavy!! My bag now is light empty ...

I had credits from two separate colleges accepted by Ivy Tech. They usually need to be within the last 10 years, however you can write a letter to the Dean to reconsider. Good luck on your journey.

Is there any real benefit to joining Phi Theta Kappa? I don't want to spend the money to join if it really has no benefit. Thanks!

In May, I went out to my mailbox and pulled out the letter from my college. I read the words acceptance and was soooo excited until I read the next few words...as an alternate. Needless to say, I was no longer excited. The school would tell me not...

Nursing school will always be there. The first year of your child's life will not be. Do you really want to miss out on those special moments? I personally was so exhausted that first six months that I couldn't think straight half the time. I bel...

Thank you ladies for being so supportive. That is why I love coming here. RNBound I am glad I could make you laugh!

My total point average was 194 and I was given an alternate position. Today at oreintation I found out that I got in! Yeah! I am so excited. They stated that this was the smartest class they have had in 10 years. They did have over 10 people ref...

At Columbus and I believe all Ivy Tech schools you have to have completed ANP 1 & 2, intro to psych, Eng 111, and take the TEAS test. Good luck to you. It can be a roller coaster ride.

gymmom I am sorry to hear that things have not been going well at home. There are so many things that can pull our focus in a different direction. Let these situations propel you towards your dream instead of away from it. I'm praying for you. :a...
