    First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    starmickey03 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    SingDanceRunLife- It almost seems like we attend the same school but I know that we dont. Our school issues mailboxes and lockers to everyone as well. We had a 3 day orientation. On the 17th, we had...

    What is your school schedule?

    starmickey03 replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    Oh no, I didnt think you were implying that at all. I was just stating my experience with why I like to have my kids in day care full time. It just works well for me that way and for them as well,...

    Excited about school but...22 weeks preggars

    starmickey03 replied to bach09's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think you should defer for the simple fact that you dont know when the baby will come or if complications may arise. Not sure if this is your first baby or not (Im assuming it is), but...

    Day care for clinicals?

    starmickey03 replied to Britt7's topic in General Students

    My kids getting sick is my main concern too. I started a thread on this topic and got a lot of good responses. I would suggest asking your class mates if they know of anyone who would like to make...

    for new nursing students

    starmickey03 replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    The 2 step TB test just means that you get it twice within a 2 week period. So all you have to do is go to your health dept and get it 2 weeks in a row. Thats what I

    starmickey03 replied to apoppyfield's topic in General Students

    Health form ?

    starmickey03 replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    Yup! Everything you just said, it was asked. It was pretty much just a physical form and the MD had to sign off on it. Our school also wanted a copy of our insurance card, front and back along w/ our...

    1st semester book costs

    starmickey03 replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    My books were surprisingly cheap! There were only 6 required books and one was the "clicker" to answer questions in class, so that doesnt count as a book. I bought 4 on amazon for about $215 and I...

    Pathophysiology vs. A&P textbook

    starmickey03 replied to jmw458's topic in General Students

    I never sold my A&P book back, but I think I should have. I havent opened it up since the class was over. Pathophysiology reviews Physiology, so I dont thin you'll need your A&P book anymore...

    Have you bought any nursing textbooks online?

    starmickey03 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    I always buy my books from Amazon. If you buy the book directly from Amazon, it will be a brand new book which will contain all of the contents and it will still be cheaper than buying it from your...

    What date do you start Nursing school?

    starmickey03 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    So, I kept checking my schools website for textbook info but nothing was listed. I decided to email all of my instructors and ask them what the names/ISBN numbers of the books were. Two of the...

    starmickey03 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! I keep on having the "what if" thoughts... "What if I fail the program?" "What if I suck at clinicals?" "What if I wasted all this time just to find out...

    starmickey03 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Go to google and create a GMail account. They have a program for registered users called "Google Docs". Its basically a version of Microsoft Word, but you can access it anywhere if you have internet....

    crazy worried about beginning NS

    starmickey03 replied to jenny29y's topic in General Students

    Im somewhat in the same boat. I start on the 23rd of next month and am worried about succeeding. I'm a single parent and will be moving out of state for my program so I'll have absolutely no type of...

    LPN/ADN Schools in Washington State that DO NOT require pre requisites!

    starmickey03 replied to Jeninejones's topic in General Students

    I think everyone that has responded so far has misinterpreted the OP's question. They are asking for names of schools where pre-reqs do NOT have to be completed in order to get into the program. It...

    Does anyone have homework already???

    starmickey03 replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    Whew! I dont have any so far, but that may or may not change. Our school didnt even release our book list yet, so I doubt we'll be getting any early homework. Hopefully we dont though, because Im...

    Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

    starmickey03 replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Out of curiosity, have you looked at any direct-entry BSN programs. They're designed so that if youre accepted to the college, you automatically are accepted into the nursing program. Usually, you...

    Need list textbooks Bohecker (Fortis) college,

    starmickey03 replied to FooFooBear's topic in General Students

    That is a rip off. You can get your books online for a third of the price. And what they're doing is illegal. I suggest you read this, print it off, and personally hand it to the person who told you...
