For the shirt, I think you're only allowed the one pocket on the left chest. I tried to get some two-pocket scrub types and they told me that wasn't allowed at all and they had gotten in trouble for selling that type to GCC students before. For the p...

It should be the same, Caityliz. I bought that from Skyscape for my PDA and haven't noticed any differences from the print copy I have.

Guess I should have said, it hasn't proved true "yet" I'd be interested to know how many of those just couldn't keep up with the reading and/or studying (I mean, for instance, weren't very dedicated to begin with or had no idea what they were gettin...

This must have been a couple years ago? I was at the pinning ceremony for this year and there were more students than that graduating.

Well, I'm getting ready to start my second year this September, and it certainly hasn't proven true. I'd say we may have lost 10% or so; and many of these were the ones who couldn't keep up with the reading and dropped or withdrew. They didn't say th...

In my first couple clinicals, us students just interviewed patients and worked on therapeutic communication, which is what our first few lectures were on. We had to do progress recordings (basically just a record of what we spoke about and whether ou...

I have never carried so much crap around in my pockets as when I'm on the floor. So yeah, those "cute" scrubs aren't that cute any more when they're bulging out half a foot on either side with those flushes, alcohol swaps, and pens!

I'm avoiding studying too. Y'know, not consciously, since I sit down and study and before I realize it I've flipped around and am looking at something on the computer.... five minutes later my brain goes "Hey, you! You're supposed to be studying for ...

I'll be done next Tuesday around 1pm. :-)

Hehe.... Last semester was my first semester, and when I was in it I was thinking "you know, this isn't bad... what is everyone talking about?" All of my friends felt the same. Now I'm in my second semester; and now I know. My short and quick answer ...

I liked A&P 2 better. I wouldn't say that it's easier, but I thought it was more interesting when we were talking about actual organs rather than muscle and bone; this made it easier to learn for me because it was more interesting. :)

Oh my gosh, I feel your pain. My med-surg book is the same way. It takes every single disorder and every single version of every single disorder and the current research on every single disorder, as well as the older research, down to the absolute ch...

Psychology & self concept I don't have anything that can help you out, but good luck with it... I know how painful it is.

I agree with many of you. However, I believe the person who said that Nursing schools have to find a balance between delegation and getting their students enough experience with personal care has it right. One of the most important things about teach...

That certainly puts my uniform into perspective. *comfort*

This is my favorite dosage calculation book: http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Dosage-Calculations-Looby-Olsen/dp/0132384701/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240148723&sr=8-1 The price is a little hefty, but you can buy it used. It's packed fu...

A lot of people shared there scores in this thread: https://allnurses.com/nj-nursing-programs/gloucester-county-college-362001.html Hope that helps.

If someone decides not to attend GCC, then she may get a call if she was borderline and be able to attend anyway by taking one of those seats. You'd think after all that trouble no one would give up their spot, but truthfully, there were 10-15 in my ...

Yay, grats you two!

Sorry if someone else mentioned this, I haven't finished reading the thread yet. But a great way to remember insulin draws is "Nancy Reagan, RN." You inject air into the NPH (Cloudy) then withdraw, inject air into the Regular (Clear), then draw up th...

....you pick up a peach in the supermarket, then put it back and the first thing that pops into your mind is "Impaired Skin Integrity."

Good answer, mom35. I'm going to go to Bath and Body Works tonight and check out that instant aromatherapy product - looks interesting!

Would you please, please, please stop interrupting the professor, the clinical instructor, me, my friends, anyone else in our class, the cat, and that random person on the sidewalk who was innocuously talking on the cell phone and doesn't even know w...
