LOL.... wow so much to think about. I think my brain is spinning. My DH and I would like to start trying my last month or so of nursing school and I would just stay at home until after the baby is born and I am ready to start my career. I would go ahead and take the NCLEX so that everything would be ready for when I decide to go back to work. Ideally I would like to stay home with the baby 12-16 weeks before starting my career so that I have that bonding time. What do all of you ladies think about this plan?? Fortunately DH and I do have anough money saved and DH makes enough money that I will be able to stay at home or work a little while pregnant if I choose to do so. Input??? I worry about starting a career and being limited to my time at home with my baby. I am really tossed on this decision and any thoughts would be helpful. I am afraid I am going to be pretty sick my pregnancy with all th stomach issues I already have as well as dysautonomia, MVP, and idiopathic hypersomnia/narcolepsy... doesnt sound like a good combo right? that is why I have thought about just finishing school, getting pregnant and delaying starting my career and just staying home while I am pregnant. Enjoy life a little maybe .... thanks for reading this!!

i am just wondering if there are any jeff state rn grads out there that have graduated from the shelby campus fairly recently that have any advice for the program??? i am a first semster student and everything is just so overwhelming at first. any study tips, test tips, teacher advice... anything would help right now. i am doing the best i can to just keep up with all of the reading and pharmacology teacher gives pop quizzes every class. lol. help please! :-D thanks

btw I love my walmart scrubs! Haha they are super comfy!

Im just wondering about jeff states strictness on having meridy's pants or if it matters if it is not meridy's as long as they are white?

I will be starting the rn program at jeff state in january at the shelby campus. We had uniform fittings today and none of the pants fit. Apparently I am inbetweem sizes and one we too tight in the butt area and the next size up swallowed me whole LOL, and the pants were not comfortable at all. The shirt I have no complaints, the large felt fine. I am wondering if anyone has gotten scrub pants to go with the meridy's top elsewhere?? Or if anybody knows if I HAVE to have meridy's scrub pants?if not can anyone recommend somewhere for scrub pants? I live in Birmingham area so preferably somewhere close to the area, or even a website? Thanks

Any advice on nursing shoes would be helpful! :-) thanks
