  1. HACC uniforms question

    mnmcbm posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    How many uniforms do you think is necessary to purchase? Do you have to wear them to lecture as well as clinical days? Do you need a lab coat? Any suggestions as to what we need to purchase would be...

  2. I Passed NCLEX!!!

    mnmcbm posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX on 3/13 and passed! My test stopped at 75 questions and I was pretty sure I failed. I literally guessed at every single answer on that test. It was very difficult. Way different than...

  3. Failed nclex for the 3rd time.

    mnmcbm replied to jayjaybsnrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    HI! I am not sure what the cheapest remedial class would be. Or what exactly you mean by remedial class. Do you mean nclex prep course? I went through ATI which was a requirement for my school. I am...

  4. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    mnmcbm replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I never wanted male docs. When I had my first two children I went to an all female OB/GYN practice. When I was pregnant with my third child I decided to go to a local highly recommended birth center...

  5. HACC Nursing student

    mnmcbm posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just thought I would take a minute to touch base with all of the incoming Lancaster nursing students. Before I started I had all sorts of questions and very few answers. Most of the posts I saw...

  6. What color is your uniform?

    mnmcbm replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Horrible white tops with logo and they zip up the front. Really awful. Burgundy pants. White shoes. Lab coats are optional in clinical but you must wear in lab. They can be any white lab coat but it...

  7. HACC Nursing Clinical Input Please!

    mnmcbm replied to rookie1's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    What? I don't understand this post at

  8. Nursing Shoes

    mnmcbm replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My favorite shoes are KLOGS brand. They are so comfy and they have clog style or non-clog style. But the main point for me is I have a bunion and they do not bother it at all. They are a little pricey...

  9. HACC Nursing student

    mnmcbm replied to mnmcbm's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am already in clinicals. Just finished my first semester. It is very competitive getting in but I think that makes sense because it is a difficult program and if it was too easy to get in, there...

  10. Will I be shunned?

    mnmcbm replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

    I do not think you will be shunned but don't discount a study group quite yet. I was always a solo learner as well but when I started nursing school, I hooked up with two classmates that I knew from...

  11. Tell me about using your iPad for school

    mnmcbm replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    That is really too bad. All of my text books, or I should say the main ones, med surg, OB, Principles of Nursing, etc. come with electronic versions. I still use my text books but I use the electronic...

  12. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to be dedicated. If you really want it, you can do it. It is not easy but it is definitely doable if you set your mind to it. I swear I think that they try to make it as difficult as possible...

  13. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definitely not too old. In fact, you are probably about the average age of students at my

  14. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! We did not have to take TEAS. But we were admitted based on our score. I think for my school, my semester the minimum score was 94.5 points. Some schools admit by lottery. I do not think...

  15. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    mnmcbm replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, so I am 44 and just finished my first semester of nursing school (clinical). For pre-nursing classes I had a binder, did flash cards, etc. But for the program, my school supplies us with bound...

  16. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    mnmcbm replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you serious? I am not a smoker but come on, if you start taking away rights of people who are engaging in LEGAL activities, you are majorly infringing on their rights. It is no one's business what...

  17. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    mnmcbm replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, get your facts straight. Airlines have been making the seats smaller and smaller for years. Adding rows of seats so they can maximize their profit. It is very uncomfortable to fly, even...

  18. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    mnmcbm replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I find it incredible that you would think obese patients need anyone to make them feel guilty. They already do. They are made to feel like second class citizens everywhere they go. I know in...

  19. Which type of watch do you reccomend?

    mnmcbm replied to perseveRaNce23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree, my Fossil watch was cheap (I am thinking around 35.00) from an outlet store. Stainless and water resistant. I wear it in the ocean with no problems. I was thinking about getting a military...

  20. Anyone here ever failed out of nursing school?

    mnmcbm replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    So, how on earth do you have time to read each chapter 3-4 times? I mean, we have a minimum of 3 chapters per class (more when there is a weekend between classes), plus lab and clinical skills, etc. I...

  21. Long commute, need audio cd advise please

    mnmcbm replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

    I would advise you to buy the Outlander series (Diana Gabaldon). You will spend enough hours in class/studying. Enjoy your commute listening to some good historical fiction.

  22. Starting Clinicals at HACC -- 11 Days

    mnmcbm replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh OK! I was a little worried for a minute there. :) Good

  23. Starting Clinicals at HACC -- 11 Days

    mnmcbm replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am starting at the Lancaster campus (on wed yikes) as well. I have my books but the syllabus was not available when I was at the book store last week so I guess I will just get it on Wed morning...

  24. Where are all the HACC Students?

    mnmcbm replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am excited and well, very nervous to be starting at the Lancaster campus on Wed. (Jan 12). It came up much faster than I anticipated and I will miss my leisurely mornings of drinking coffee,...

  25. HACC STUDENTS!!!!!

    mnmcbm replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I know! I made my husband come with me so he could hear for himself just what we are in for. I have a feeling my house will be a mess. Oh
