  1. I just want some scrub pants that fit!

    gumby1411 replied to celticmoonwolf's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had a lot of trouble when I bought my scrubs for NS that starts next week. I tried on every brand they had in the store, finally settling on Grey's Anatomy. Koi was a good fit for me, as well....

  2. Any advice on how to approach all of the assigned reading?

    gumby1411 replied to MunkeyLuv's topic in General Students

  4. Hep B vaccine

    gumby1411 replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    As long as we had the first 2, we could start clinicals. We have to make sure we go back for our 3rd (mine is due in November) in order to continue with

  5. Need opinions for school

    gumby1411 replied to oztizz184's topic in General Students

    I like the kind you throw away when done because they're smaller and lighter in weight (the ones that I've looked at

  6. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Thanks and the same to you. I'm having a bad week and feel like I've been defending myself all week - no matter what I'm doing, so I just assumed I had to take the defense again. Sorry for...

  7. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Guess I'm just uber sensitive right now - under a ton of stress and freaking out about starting my program next week...thanks

  8. Study tips, guides, etc for A&P

    gumby1411 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Any time you have the opportunity to stay late after lab to review models - do it. I found that there would only be a few people that stayed late and we had ample time with the professor to ask as...

  9. Nursing Students for the 2010-2011 school year...SOUND OFF!

    gumby1411 replied to bella8's topic in Michigan Nursing

    University of Michigan ABSN program August 2010 (a week and a half away!) I'm not really sure what I want to get into, right now I'm thinking trauma or L&D, but that could all change once I start...

  10. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm really sorry I responded to this post. I never said nursing was recession-proof and I never said that the OP will receive a job upon graduating. I'll reiterate, since people don't seem to...

  11. Nursing School Jitters

    gumby1411 replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    It is totally ridiculous, but if you have no other options, then I guess you wait. You're right that many people will decide not to wait and move on to apply elsewhere, which may up your start date,...

  12. Nursing School Jitters

    gumby1411 replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    The local community college near me has a ridiculous waitlist. People that are accepted now won't be starting until

  13. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    I haven't really been looking, I'm just starting NS next week. Last time I looked at a few hospitals in the area, there were several RN positions

  14. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    True, but maybe the OP isn't planning on staying in California. There are plenty of jobs where I live. Even if they are going to stay in Cali, then by the time they graduate, there may be jobs...

  15. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    gumby1411 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Don't let the bad job market deter you from becoming a nurse. If that's what you want to do with your life, then go for it. The market will turn around. Any field you go into, nursing or not, will...

  16. Remember when...?

    gumby1411 replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    Ah, yes, been there, done that RyanT. My final exam for one particular class was scheduled in the afternoon, around 4pm. I spent my morning/early afternoon at the bar, somehow found my way class to...

  17. Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    gumby1411 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I did the same thing...I was home all summer with no school, ate too much, and gained a few pounds. I know I'll lose weight once I start school. I don't eat fast food or vending machine food and...

  18. Well, I got my syllabus today...

    gumby1411 replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    Lol...awesome. Welcome to nursing

  19. What is your school schedule?

    gumby1411 replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my accelerated second degree BSN program in 2 weeks. Since it's accelerated, we don't follow the normal 15 week semesters. We're taking 21 credits the first semester with classes...

  20. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    You threw the head of lettuce away?! I guess you never buy organic, huh? I brought a head of lettuce from the farmer's market (picked the day before, organically grown) and thought I washed it well,...

  21. Have you ever worn scrubs off the job?

    gumby1411 replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can't assume all people in scrubs are nurses or doctors. All the employees at my cat's vet office wear

  22. I GOT IN!!! Advice wanted :)

    gumby1411 replied to christyness's topic in General Students

    This is a great piece of advice. I start my ABSN program in 2 weeks and everytime I start to feel overwhelmed, I'll remember this...I worked hard for that acceptance letter and there were hundreds of...

  23. Nursing School Jitters

    gumby1411 replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    Nope. I start on the 24th and I'm totally freaking out. I'm starting an ABSN program, 12 months long. We hit the ground running, with a quiz on day 1 and we're expected to know all the basic skills...

  24. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I accidentally spilled E. coli all over my hand while in micro lab. It was gross, but didn't stop me from eating my sandwich when I got out of class (after thoroughly washing my hands, of course). I...

  25. Easy and Fast Meals

    gumby1411 replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Exactly! I love freezer cooking! I start my ABSN program in 3 weeks (yikes!) and i know I won't have time to cook dinner every night. I cook healthy and can't imagine relying on carry-out or...
