  1. Backpack???

    Southern Magnolia replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

    I was told the opposite - that we'd be required to have all our books . . . now do I believe that's the reality? No. However, on my one class day a week I will have a class in the morning and then...

  2. Backpack???

    Southern Magnolia replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

    I ordered the high sierra power glide. It's a rolling backpack. I don't have far to walk but I put all my books for just one class in my regular backpack and could hardly stand up. I'm too old to...

  3. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure which letter you got but I got a list of items that included the steth, uniform, & badge with my booklist when I met with the advisor here in Tucson. It doesn't say anything about...

  4. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are there any other's planning to apply to NAU's traditional BSN for the Tucson campus for this fall? I just moved back to AZ after a year in Iowa and was planning on doing U of A's 2nd degree...

  5. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    Southern Magnolia replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    After reading your post I called my school just to make sure and I was told there was no problem. Their rule (one of the state universities in AZ) is that you can have up to 180% of the degree you're...

  6. Preparing for your first sememster-things you DID/WISH you had done..

    Southern Magnolia replied to Ginnym1981's topic in General Students

    I'm starting this fall and have a 4 & 6 year old. I have done the things already suggested. My additional suggestion is that I also bought a couple of toys on sale for each gender and gift bags...

  7. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just lost my post . . . Sorry if it double posts. I ordered a littman classic se from all hearts. I think the only stipulation NAU had was that we not get a double tube model and they recommend...

  9. Borders Books Liquidation Sale - Nursing Book Stock Up

    Southern Magnolia replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Just spent an hour adding books to my cart on Borders.com. There were a lot of nursing related books that were $1.00 - $2.00 (lots of nursing study guides - some an older version but still a resource...

  10. starting clinicals this fall

    Southern Magnolia replied to Piper17's topic in General Students

    Same here. I've done a CNA program so I do have a bit of experience with patients but I'm terrified of being asked to do something I don't know how to do. My "real" clinicals won't start until 8...

  11. Need input: Have a BS but want to be RN

    Southern Magnolia replied to adlucem6's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I have a BA in english and will be starting NAU's BSN program in a month ( at the Tucson campus). Since you already have a Bachelor's degree I would highly recommend looking into getting a...

    1. 8/29 2. AZ 3. BSN 4. Hmm. Not sure about that one. 5. My daughter. RIP

  13. Fall 2011 students, what do you have so far?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    Thanks for that. This will sound weird but when you're counting respirations do you have trouble seeing the watch and watching the patient. When I did CNA clinicals I learned to do vitals with a...

  14. Classic II S.E. color choices

    Southern Magnolia replied to ChrisCNA's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I felt the same way about the gold on the rainbow one. I ended up getting the navy blue. I wish the classic se II came in a bright blue. The Caribbean seemed more green to

  15. Fall 2011 students, what do you have so far?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    I'm very type A so I have been in "gathering" mode since I got my acceptance letter in April. Anyway, I have . . . 2 sets of scrubs - still need to find a good tank to wear under them. I can't...

  16. Worried about chemistry on HESI A2

    Southern Magnolia replied to birdinflight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was allowed to use a calculator for the entire Hesi. It was an in test application though not my own calculator. For what it's worth I didn't find the chemistry difficult. Chem doesn't come easy...

  19. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    Southern Magnolia replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I should have added that I already have a BA in

  20. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    Southern Magnolia replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I see your point but just FYI - your prior degree will count if you go back because you SHOULD get credit for your general education/ liberal arts classes. I am about to start a BSN program and will...

  21. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    Southern Magnolia replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just b/c you have a BS degree doesn't mean you've studied the SCIENCE of nursing. BS degrees are not interchangeable. The matter of having the RN has no bearing. The RN (ADN, AS) is an applied...

  22. fetal demise

    Southern Magnolia replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost one of my twins four years ago. There are still days when I can't hold back the tears but I decided that I could either let my daughter's passing break me or make...

  23. how long for clinicals?

    Southern Magnolia replied to bayli1's topic in General Students

    I'll be in a BSN program and will have 5 semesters - the entire length of the program. 6.5 hrs a week clinicals + 3 hrs sim lab per week first semester. It increases with each term. The last term...

  24. My Goodness

    Southern Magnolia replied to Nscorpiored's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school! Thus far I've spent nearly $500 on medical exam, immunizations and titers (I will get most of that back in flexible spending), $75 on scrubs, $80 on a stethoscope, $80...

  25. 32 days and counting, Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

    Southern Magnolia replied to NENE RN's topic in General Students

    That's the day I'll start too. Well - my first in person class starts on the 30th but my online classes will begin the
