    Kylea replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Nursing

    Kylea replied to Kylea's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Either way, I'm still going to do the program; it's not 100% that we will move back to CA, and even if we do, I am going to be here for at least three more years. I am a little freaked out, because I...

  18. Shoes Blues.....

    Kylea replied to rideslikethewind's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried the z-coils and they were very odd at first. I felt like I was walking on my tip-toes and very bouncy. They ended up not being for me, and I returned them for a refund minus a restocking...

  19. Shoes Blues.....

    Kylea replied to rideslikethewind's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Be careful about ordering Danskos online; they are handmade and the sizes are not standard American sizing (European, I think). I recommend trying them on in a store to verify your size and comfort,...

  20. Shoes Blues.....

    Kylea replied to rideslikethewind's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I loved a particular pair of Nursemates, but the style has been discontinued. I bought a pair of Danskos about two months ago; best purchase ever! My everyday sneakers and flip flops hurt my feet...

  21. CNA or EMT while in school, CNA being a "dirty job" help please

    Kylea replied to KdnRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Everyone has posted some good advice. Write down everything, get copies of the records now, and if you can, try to get him moved. It sounds like he...

    Kylea replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois Nursing

    As you can probably tell, I am very new to CLC's nursing program....even more so, since I am trying to test out of some sections for having my LPN. What are EBO's? I am not sure I understand how the...

    Kylea replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I won't know if I got in until sometime closer to October or November. The deadline is Sept 17 (I think) and then they begin the screening process. I'm not super worried though! My major worry is...
