Hey guys! How's everyone doing? First week of clinicals down and everyone is still alive, woohoo!! I hope you guys are all doing well! Tara

Thanks, Erin! You're lucky to be able to lose the weight so quickly. I had no problems until after my third child and I ballooned! I lost quite a bit of it, then became pregnant the last time. I didn't get back up to my highest weight, but I was stil...

Thanks, MistyMiss! I finished up all of my coreqs this semester and we don't have summer classes (unfortunately), so I'm looking forward to a free summer in 2011, woohoo! I'm as excited as I am nervous about the nursing courses and I've emailed a cou...

We have green elastic waist pants (I was pretty stoked to get a M, lol, I haven't worn a M in about 15 years!) and a white smock/tunic type shirt with green trim. It's not too terrible, at least the pants are longish and fit well, so I shouldn't comp...

They had us go try the uniform on to see what size we wore and they are making them, that's why they won't be ready until around mid-August. I was really hoping for drawstring pants, but no....they had to be elastic. ;-) The Med/Surg book scares me! ...

Congrats to all of those who have recently gotten into the program! Things have been crazy here with 4 classes and 4 kids! I've got all of my stuff done and I'm waiting on a couple books that are backordered and my uniform that will be ready sometime...

yeah, they are called 'clogs' but the back is closed so they work. i was really glad to find a pair that felt so good b/c i was worried! i received the background check and drug screen info in the mail today. looks like tomorrow will be another busy ...

I bought Landau Comfort shoes and they feel wonderful on my feet. I walked around the store with one on one foot and a Nursemate on the other and still loved the Landau. They aren't pretty, but they aren't terrible either. Honestly, if they were a li...

I received my schedule today, woohoo! All that's left is the whole nursing program orientation in August, a uniform fitting this month, and to buy a stethoscope and penlight. I bought shoes and they are amazing! How's everyone else doing?

Congrats, Ericka! I'm very happy for you!!!!

Congrats to everyone who made it in. I haven't been on here much. This summer session is kicking my butt! I've also been getting all my nursing paperwork and I have an appointment with my advisor to set up my schedule and stuff. That's on Wednesday a...

You guys should apply in the spring. There are less applicants therefore the scores are lower. I'm really, really surprised at how high the scores are this semester!

So, what all will we need to have/get done? There wasn't a list or anything with my letter, so I'm not completely sure. I have an idea, after reading other posts and speaking with another student, but I want to make sure. 1. TB skin test - 1 or 2? 2....

Congrats to those who received their acceptance letters today!!! :yeah::yelclap::stdnrsrck:

Madison's letters were sent out? I have a friend who applied there and as far as I know, she's not received anything. She had a 215...

I know that someone with a 195 was accepted into the LPN program at Evansville. Other than that, I have no idea.

Oh and apparently the cut off for ASN for Evansville was 204. Just a FYI. ;-)

Thanks, all4him. I have a TON of questions, lol. How are you doing in the program? I just sent you a message. ;-)

Thanks, Chris and Erin. :-) The first sentence started with Congratulations, but I inferred, after reading other posts, that there would be a large CONGRATULATIONS at the beginning. LOL, or maybe that was just my wishful thinking. ;-) Yes, Erin, drin...

Thanks L7, Janex, and bizandgray!!!! OMG, I'm freaking excited! I got teary eyed when I read the letter, but I had just put on makeup, so I had to rein it in (lots of hand waving around my face and eye blinking). :uhoh3: It was funny, though, my da...

OMG!!!! I received my letter today and I made it into the ASN program at Evansville!!! p.s. I had a 207 w/o region pts

congrats, brightestfuture!!!!!!!! :anpom::hpygrp: wouldn't you know it; last year evansville's letters were here on the 27th, but the year i apply, they take their sweet time. lol...hot bamboo shards under the fingernails would be preferable to this ...

Laura, Debora, bcox - :ancong!: :nmbrn: I'm so happy for you guys! If I missed anyone, let me know. ;-)

Wow, those are high scores! I'm even more nervous now, which I didn't think was possible. I'm just hoping that the scores for Evansville will be lower.... Nothing was in my mailbox today, but I don't know if that's b/c the mail hasn't run or b/c I di...

Ugh, there's a woman at school who speaks to us as though we're beneath her. It's not so much her words, its her tone of voice. She sounds as though she's exasperated and speaking to a recalcitrant 2 year old and its rather infuriating. A simple ques...
