I second Zappos.com for Dansko or other brands. They will refund no questions asked if needed -- you can even order several sizes to try them out and just send back the ones you don't want. Nordstrom...
I start on August 23rd, exactly 30 days from now! Already bought all new binders and office supplies, and I took the plunge and upgraded my phone to a Droid (partly due to suggestions from this site!...
Coming from a different field into nursing, I'm curious if the name of the college/university you went to has ever mattered after you graduated. I've seen how in law, for example, the school you...

I won't even be starting nursing school for another month and a half, I'll say that now. As a reader of these boards through my pre-reqs, I did want to make a first little chime-in. I'm a...

@2benurseforce1 Hi there. Still waiting on letters from Tidewater here. Oh the anticipation! Do you remember when in the summer yours came? Good luck with your
I'll be thirty in July, and I'm probably in a minority in that I'm childless by choice and unmarried. I've had an unorthodox time since leaving university -- one major career switch already before...

smooth83, I'm waiting to hear if I got into TCC for the fall. From what I understand (and this is from talking to advisors who, granted, may not have been clear), SDV 101 does not count in the point...
Hi everyone! I'm 29 years old and headed back to school after burning out in another field. I already know I'd like to stay with it through an advanced degree, but the question of "Nurse Practitioner"...
Hi! Smitty - Having read what I have so far about NPs and PAs, I'm not sure why anyone would choose the (more restricted, from what I can glean) PA route either! But there must be reasons and I want...

At the McGraw Hill site there are some really good labelling exercises. Not quite flashcards but it does have that "drill" sort of exercise that you might be looking for. I use this quite a bit for...
Hello! I'll be 30 next year, and I'm unmarried with no children. I'd spent my early career years in a field where that was an advantage (I moved intercity/internationally often). Right after uni I'd...
Hello, nurses! I was wondering about those of you that have pursued master's degrees. Did you do an MSN? A degree in a different discipline? As a student still, I'm just curious about how an advanced...

Oh my goodness, I've come back to so many replies :) You all are so fantastic!!! A lot of people asked where I am - I'm on the eastern shore of Virginia, which I suppose classifies as "semi-rural" (to...
