  1. Odd and funny methods used in nursing school

    Ohhh that family member one is a great idea, thank you! I'm a visual learner so if I can picture them, I can picture what's going on. Thanks again!
  2. 17 August 2009 - the big day for some of us :)

    Congratulations to all of you starting tomorrow - or soon. I remember that feeling - it was such an adrenaline rush. I was so paranoid about oversleeping, I set my alarm clock and 3 alarms on my phone just in case. Tomorrow will be the intro stu...

  7. Waking up early again for clinicals

    Im another night owl - I stayed up til 3 am last night and woke up at 8:30 so I'll hopefully be tired enough to go to sleep tonight for my 1st day of school tomorrow! I also try drinking a warm tea (Earl Grey - its the only hot tea I like & it's ...

  11. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    I think you need to go back to bed and wake up on the other side, cuz apparently you woke up on the wrong side. I'm 37 and I'm one of "those" old people pursuing a nursing degree. I wish you luck - just remember, the career you choose in your 20s ma...
  12. Sentara, here I come!

    I am most definitely interested in your books! I have all of lvl 1 - but 2-5 would be great. Ya - we got the new uniforms. It's a diploma right now but they said they would grandfather people in when they get their 4 yr going next year. So, if I...

  19. Best Organizational Tip For Surviving Nursing School

    Yes, it's REALLY cut down on his wasted time. I'm sure he didnt appreciate it at first but what would once take 45+ min, is now taking 20 min because he can just sit down and do it. I am also 100% positive part of it had to do with his age and he w...

    Try Craigslist, ebay, barnes & noble, borders Just make sure they dont change books in the next year. Maybe you can stash away some money each paycheck for books & then closer to your entrance date, search those sites. I'd just be afraid they...

  22. Sentara or Tidewater Community College?

    By the way - ODU was going to be my choice if I went the 4 yr route. I'm not sure I want to stay out here in VA much longer - I love the weather but my entire family is from WI and I miss them horribly.

    We are given one in our first level - it's included in our tuition. It's a Palm Tungsten T5. I haven't gotten it yet but I've heard it's nice.
  25. Sentara or Tidewater Community College?

    I was going to go thru TCC but then chose Sentara because I got in much faster. I sent in my application and if you have your pre-reqs done - you shouldnt have much of a wait. I *think* I heard back within the next cycle. Look at their website - l...
