I keep seeing a lot of posts on this site saying that new grads are having problems getting jobs. However, it seems like it may be subject to where you live. Just wanted to see if anybody in Delaware is having problems with finding a job?

I love Lisa Frank stuff too!! I have Hello Kitty pencils that I use for school. If it is pink and has Hello Kitty on it, I want it!!!

Defenbaker is my dogs name. Saw the name on a TV show and just thought it was a cool name for a dog.

The instructor reading the same material that the students read is a must. I also have had instructors that when you pointed out stuff that was in the book they had no clue about it. Also, I like it when the teacher relates nursing stuff to everyda...

You definitely should put some study time into it just because the points for it are used towards where you rank to get into clinicals. For clinicals they assign points for each class you have taken and also for what your score was on the NLN. For ...

My school has our program set up so that we have everything we need to get our LVN if we want to after the first year. The other schools in our state don't have their programs set up that way. You would just have to make sure the school offers that...

She probably was referring to the critical reading class. When you first enroll they usually make you take a placement test to see where your reading level is at. If your score is high enough you will be exempt and don't have to take the class but ...

Also,Stanton is just a straight RN program. Terry offers the option that after the first two semesters you can take your LPN test and start working as an LPN while still in school for your RN. Wasn't sure if either of you would be interested in tha...

I go to DTCC Terry campus. The program at Terry is run differently than the Stanton campus. Terry campus they give you a list of the dates for the NLN and you pick which date you want to do it on. Terry has two sets of clinicals a semester. One is...

Hi! I am in the RN program at DTCC Terry campus. Hoping to graduate in May 2011 (as long as I pass). I took my LPN boards over the summer and passed so I do have my LPN license now. I haven't found a job yet because all of the places want you to ...

I was skeptical. But the good pop was the only thing that kept me sane over the long weekend!!!! Found out today that I passed. This does work!!!:lol2::lol2:

Yes, I used financial aid (student loans, loans are all I am eligible for) to pay for all of my prereq classes. I start my clinicals this fall and have already got everything set up for my financial aid for the Fall and spring semesters.

Hi! I start August 24th. Can't wait!! Very excited and nervous. I go to Deltech in Delaware.

Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of whiners in nursing school. We had one in our micro class that would show up at least 15-20 minutes late to every class or would just skip class completely. She missed somewhere around 6-7 classes in a 16 wee...

Hi! I also go to the terry campus. It stinks that you have to retake the classes. If you still have to do classes online, terry does have online classes for the prereq. classes. Just the actual clinical classes that have to be done on campus. I ...

A coworker gave me a Mccoy stethoscope that has never been used (still in the box). She was a medic in the army and no longer has a use for it. I am starting RN clinicals in the fall and want to know if this stethoscope will be fine to use for clin...

I live in Delaware so I am not sure if NJ would work the same way or not. My school says that after you finish the first two semesters you can get your LPN and start working as an LPN. Haven't actually tried it yet because I don't start clinicals u...

You guys are so lucky to have dark scrubs or polo to wear. My school you can only wear a white scrub top and white pants. So of course we had the whole what kind of underwear do you wear discussion. Needless to say we were told "NO THONGS"

Hi! I am going to Deltech (terry campus) in August for clinicals. I am enrolled in the RN program. I have been told by the school that after your first yr (fall & spring) you can get your LPN license. And then work as an LPN while you complete...
