  1. School Supplies?!

    princsheather posted a topic in General Students

    Hey Everyone, My first nursing school semester is right around the corner, and I am gearing up I'm so excited but I also want to make sure I'm properly prepared!! What school supplies should I buy,...

  2. Zuca bag experience?

    princsheather replied to Busymom2day's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm really debating if I want a Zuca bag. I start nursing school in August, and the little backpack I have now barely held all my books last semester so I know it won't hold them this coming semester....

  3. What color is your stethoscope???

    princsheather replied to sch1109's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    PURPLE!!! :) It is the Littmann Classic SE II. I thought about getting the raspberry but the purple looked better with my hunter green required scrubs for nursing

  4. What kind of stethoscope should I get for nursing school?

    princsheather replied to FLhusker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a Littmann Classic II SE. I had one when I was a CNA and I really liked it, and my school highly recommends them. I thought about getting a better quality one, but decided to wait until after...

  5. Dansko "dress code" at your place of work

    princsheather replied to tripsis's topic in General Nursing

    I just got my first pair of danskos for nursing school, and they are incredibly comfy. I had to order them and in the store I had a thicker pair of socks on, and then when I tried them on today I had...

  6. Z-coil Shoes

    princsheather replied to Katie5's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know someone who wears them exclusively. I think they are the ugliest shoe ever, but she let me try them on and they are incredibly comfy. I have some knee and lower back/hip issues and when I was...

  7. Dansko Question?

    princsheather posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm shopping for a shoe for nursing school, and because of all of the raves about Danskos I decided to try some on. Instantly I could feel the comfort, and it was amazing! I have super narrow feet so...

  8. Dansko Question?

    princsheather replied to princsheather's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ok thanks. I will keep that in mind when I go try them on again. Apparently the guy I had the first time didn't know what he was talking

  9. Vibram 5 fingers shoes

    princsheather replied to sarahbellum's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know several people who wear these at my nursing school (not at clinicals but to lecture) and they all swear by them saying they are the most comfortable shoe ever. The ones I saw were leather, and...

  10. The Wait is Killing Me!

    princsheather posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to start the nursing program in the Fall. My GPA is good, but its right on the borderline of getting accepted and not getting accepted. I'm driving myself crazy waiting to get that letter!!...

    Found out yesterday (Monday) that the letters get mailed today (Tuesday) and that I should receive it on Wednesday!! :yeah: I'm so excited to find out, but my nerves seriously just went into...

  13. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    princsheather replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worry constantly!!! In fact I drive myself and my family/friends crazy by my over obsessing and constant worry!! I'm just relieved that I will find out Wednesday and I just have my fingers crossed...

  14. The Wait is Killing Me!

    princsheather replied to princsheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a back-up plan if I don't get in but it would still be heartbreaking. If I don't make it in this semester, then I'm going have to start retaking the classes I got a B in and try to make an A...

  15. Good Nursing Books? (NON-Textbook)

    princsheather posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey Everyone: I was just wondering what your favorite inspirational nursing books are, that are not textbooks? I'm finishing up my last semester of pre-reqs and start clinicals in August, and I was...

  16. When Does Your Semester End?

    princsheather posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is finally the final leg of the semester. How long do you have before you start your winter break? How long is your break? When do Spring classes begin? What classes are you taking in the Spring?...

  17. How long have you been working on Pre req's?

    princsheather replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been going to school since 2005. But as far as working on my pre-reqs for nursing school this is my 3rd semester. I started in the Spring of 2010, went the Summer semester and then the Fall. It...

  18. how does the grading system work at your college?

    princsheather replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our schools pre-req grading scale is just A, B, C, D, and F. I wish we had the opportunity to receive +'s and -'s but we don't. 100-90 = A 89-80 = B 79-70 = C 69-60 = D 59 and below = F When we get...

  19. New grad volunteer in South Africa

    princsheather replied to RNlivy's topic in General World

    That is amazing!!! Doing work like you're getting to do is my absolute dream job!! Good luck! Let us know how it goes

  20. End of Pre-Reqs, laziness

    princsheather replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat. I apply to the nursing program as soon as this semester ends, my advisor has told me that I should not have any problem getting accepted into the program. I probably won't have...

  21. Aggravated: Getting Bad Advice

    princsheather posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know I keep posting these threads but I'm so aggravated this time with my advisor and I really need to vent! I've been very good about keeping educated on what classes I need, what I need to do,...

  22. Physiology Vent

    princsheather posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A little background information: My school separates Anatomy and Physiology (for some stupid reason). I had a horrible Anatomy professor the first time I took it and ended up dropping the class, I...

  23. Physiology Vent

    princsheather replied to princsheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My goal is to not retake it, but for pre-reqs we can retake as many times as needed. Supposedly he went part way through a physical therapy program so that makes him eligible to teach it. They were...

  24. Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    princsheather replied to lovesunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to a tiny little college in Springfield, MO. Its called Cox College, its attached to the biggest hospital in my city. It has its faults like every other college, but since its not well...

  25. A&P in 8 wks - how did you do it?

    princsheather replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have no life. I took it over the summer and it was an 8 week course and it was my entire life. Hopefully you won't have any other classes, because it will consume 99% of your time. Review...
