hello, i am a current student in the pn program at ptec! first congrats! :yeah:one thing i have realized is ptec students are considered to be among the best and it is only going to get better because they have increased the admission requirements!!!! as far as the vest....you are probably better off buying it from dove like the school recommends they are good quality and it will last you, if you get one from a previous student it probably wont fit and probably not the cleanest thing i ordered the polos for my class from jiffyshirts.com they are cheap, great quality and fast on delivery! but you wont need to have your full uniform for about 1 month after school starts so you'll be able to find out more with the class. during the 1st few days of class you will select class officers so if you are the type of person that would be interested in doing something like that then please do....but do it for the right reasons! you will soon find that fellow students will become very competitive and catty!!!!! are you starting in the aug class at st pete? i believe your class will be having a whole new set of books.....lucky you!!! seriously some of the text books we have been using are horrible!!! but once you get your list you can purchase them anywhere you want i have found half.com to have great prices! wow thats alot!! if you have any more questions let me know good luck!

Hello Everyone, I am new member to allnurses.com however I have read many of the discussion in the past! :) Question for everyone.... I am currently in LPN school and our school requires the students(women) to wear the traditional nursing white dress uniform for the pinning ceremony and the men wear white pants and white polo. While a few of the women are OK with wearing this, a majority are not. Frankly its just not cost effective dress, cap, pin and misc graduation fees=$$$$ Oh not to mention then paying for NCLEX. I am trying to come up with some other options to present to Admin. Any suggestions would be great and pictures would be even better!!!! Thank you and good luck to you! B Also if you think I should post this on different discussions let me know. Maybe I could get more response from those that have completed the ceremony.
