I'm required to have it as well but I'm in an ADN program. I vaguely recall them stating that it's a new requirement...but I really didn't pay attention to that part cause my husband carries insurance. Good luck!

Well I don't have advice because you've probably already spoken with her. I hope it went well! I always have to learn things the hard way...this sounds like a situation where you might have to do the same...sorry!:hug:

We were given a "bootcamp" before classes started and were told the best way to skim is reading atleast the first paragraph and the last. If you have more time, read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. They said that's where the most important info is. If you don't get what the book is saying by those areas, then you must read all the stuff in between. Oh and I didn't have time to read all the replies, so I just read the first one and left my reply!

I just saw a brand new storm insert on eBay for $36 with shipping--buy it now auction! Hurry if you still want it!

I have a great friend who, when I first met her, for the longest time just talked about her "sweetie". Then she said her sweetie's name...which is a name that could be either a girl or boy name. It was when she refered to her as her partner that I figured it out. It really shouldn't matter and if it does matter to someone...they're not worth talking to anyway :)

Ditto! Except I have to be at clinicals at 6 am! It'll be worth it in the end! :)

This is just my two cents--getting into the nursing program is a BIG deal. I see all kinds of threads saying "should I get a third piercing before classes start?" should I dye my hair?" "Should I get the tattoo?"....I know your asking something different. It's two years (or four if BSN)....just try doing something that is NOT questionable. Why take the risk or being told that you have to change it? You have the whole rest of your life to play with your hair color.

It was in a store in Middleton, Wisconsin. It's by Madison. They were listed on the Zuca website, so I called and they had one. They took payment over the phone and mailed it to me. Right after I ordered it, a local store called me and said that they were able to get me one if I wanted. I told him, sorry, already got it elsewhere. It's such a cool insert!!!!

Wait though! Saunders is coming out with a new edition that is set to release on Oct 15, 2010. They just changed over the nclex test, so it's probably not a bad idea to have the new edition. If you don't mind paying the price of the new one, then go that way. Once that edition comes out, I'm sure the 4th will drop in price too.

It was the morning of May 22 2010. I got a call from a friend that applied. I answered the phone and said hello and she said "I'm so ******". She got accepted however, she found out a week prior that she was pregnant with twins. So although she got accepted, she had to turn it down. My mail hadn't ran yet. I continued to get myself ready for the day. My Grandpa died May 31, 2009 and this was the day that we were burying his ashes. It was a small ceremony (mainly because everyone assumed he was already buried....long story). So as I was getting in the car the mail was delivered and there was my envelope. I put it in the car and left. I called my husband and said that I got the letter. He said "OPEN IT!" I was torn though cause it was a sad day...how was I going to open the letter and possibly celebrate and then bury Grandpa (the man who raised me)? I opened it and read Congratulation.....yay me! Then at the gravesite I silently told Grandpa. Before we left the cemetary, I told my Aunt (the only other person there) about the letter and she cried and cried. She said "Thank you for telling me this TODAY." "Luther (grandpa) is behind this." My Grandpa was totally behind me getting the letter the same day we buried him. He would have been so proud of me! He never wanted anyone to fuss over him. So go figure that on the day we said goodbye and were "fussing" over him...he'd somehow put the focus elsewhere.

I am NOW the proud owner of a black frame, hawaiian insert that I got for $75!!!! Then I found an insert that I really loved that is retired. Well I called tje company first and they told me "Good luck finding one cause we discontinued that awhile ago." Well I found one in a store, so I bought the STORM insert...YAY!

My doctor knew which ones needed to be updated based on when I got them. Just take your paperwork in, they'll know.

Hmm....good point!

Thank you!

Oh and Jane is just an example...:)
