  1. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    runtagua replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Run, don't walk, to Amazon.com right now and find that book! It might be worth it to pay two day shipping. Though, I'm sure the school will understand if the bookstore is out... but it seems like they...

  2. Does anyone know if health care reform going to affect rn salaries?

    runtagua replied to TobyLovesBetsy's topic in General Students

    I think the general consensus is that if it affects RN salaries, we're all going to quit and move to a remote island somewhere and there will be no more nurses

  3. Tension and Clinical

    runtagua replied to artistnurse's topic in General Students

    I'm prone to tension headaches, too, and I have to agree with the above posters... food, water, caffeine, and 800mg of ibuprofen works for me. Not all at once (or, well, maybe sometimes). I swear by...

    runtagua replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    The countdown has begun for me... I start on Monday the 17th. I'm in a little bit of shock, but I'm super excited... it's really happening - for all of us! Good luck, everyone. I know we can do

  5. To Do List.: Before Fall Semester

    runtagua replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    I have another thing to do... get the TV fixed. The power controls are on the fritz, and it only turns on when it feels like it. I'm not entirely sure I can survive life with nursing school and an...

  6. Last year's syllabus ?

    runtagua replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I would love to get a hold of a previous syllabus... but I suppose now it really doesn't matter much because I start in a week... Yikes! The instructors all handed us reading assignments at our...

  7. Fundamental's 100 Evolve ebook

    runtagua replied to Sowinsis's topic in General Students

    are you talking about the digital copy? if so, I don't think it's necessary - it's just an added perk, if you will, to have it on your computer. I didn't think it was necessary, so I didn't buy

  8. voice recorders

    runtagua replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is actually what I do, too. And it's less wasteful than burning a CD with just one

  9. voice recorders

    runtagua replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have an Olympus digital recorder. It has software that takes the lecture off the recorder and puts it on the computer. From there you can use whatever software you use to burn a CD. It's a nice...

  11. To Do List.: Before Fall Semester

    runtagua replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Finish the assignments they gave us at orientation in May - I still have 5+ chapters in the Pharmacology book, 2 in the skills book, need to brush up on my med math and terminology (I already read...

  13. Snack Ideas

    runtagua replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I am inspired by the great snack ideas here. I start school in 9 days, and am hoping to avoid the weight gain. I am going to stick to high-protein snacks, and I'm hoping that maybe a couple days a...

  14. Somebody shake me..

    runtagua replied to Pink.Ninja's topic in General Students

    I start on the 17th, too. I think we are having clinicals the 4th or 5th week. I'm scared sh!tless, too, believe me. All I can think of is that others have done it before us, and we can do it, too....

  15. Help! What do I need to take to my orientaion?

    runtagua replied to pink_scrubs2011's topic in General Students

    because you never know when you might need

  16. Fundamental's 100 Evolve ebook

    runtagua replied to Sowinsis's topic in General Students

    I'm reading it now... I start NS on the 17th... 9 more days. It seems informative. I got it on Amazon, was cheaper there than at my bookstore. Amazon also sells it with a digital copy of the book that...

  18. Fundamental's 100 Evolve ebook

    runtagua replied to Sowinsis's topic in General Students

    I bet it's Potter & Perry Fundamentals of Nursing. That's a pretty popular book, and it's Evolve/Elsevier. Good

  19. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    runtagua replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    Does Amazon Prime work in Hawaii? For $79 bucks a year (a one time fee), you get free 2-day shipping on nearly everything. If you order a lot from Amazon, the 79 bucks can easily be a better deal than...

  20. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    runtagua replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with not buying your books from school. I found all my books at Amazon, and the new price at Amazon was less than the used price at school. I was able to get ALL the "required" books...

  21. The timing could not be worse !!!!!!

    runtagua replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    My advice would not to walk in on day 1 with this info, but call or visit the office of the department NOW and let them know what's going on. I imagine you'll be fine, but just try to rest as much as...

  22. What makes Nursing school hard?

    runtagua replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    School starts for me in three weeks. I imagine it will be lots of work. We had several reading assignments for the first day of class - 13 chapters in the fundamentals book, 5 chapters in the...

  23. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    runtagua replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, the fluorescent stickies... have those. I'm totally a Walmart junkie, though there isn't one for miles around here (SF). Whenever we take a trip to somewhere that has a Walmart, though, it's...

  25. Nutrition before Chemistry or vice versa? HELP!!

    runtagua replied to espo44's topic in General Students

    Six of one, half a dozen of another. In nutrition, they'll pretty much cover any chem you will need to know (and not much), so it shouldn't matter which you take first. Chem is essential before...
