I am a new BSN student starting in August. I have always been interested in Oncology, but my hospital doesn't have a very big oncology unit. I also like the NICU, but that's hard to get into. The only other real interest I have is the cardiac unit, ...

That's amazing! It gave me goose bumps! I am still undecided about what kind of nursing I want to do, but hospice definitely is on my favorites list.

I love the Paper Mate Profile, Pilot Dr Grip Center of Gravity Ballpoint Pen, and the Zebra Original F.301 retractable fine ballpoint pen.

I have a habit of being a highlighter addict. I tend to over highlight and I tend to highlight everything in the same color. This method was ok for general education courses, but I know it won't help me a bit with nursing classes. So, what is your m...

NG tube is making me the most nervous. I have heard so many horror stories that now I am just dreading it. I'm kind of nervous about learning IVs just because I don't want to miss the vein and have to stab someone a million times. But I am definitel...

I am getting a Zuca bag. I haven't received it yet, but it is ordered and I'm just waiting for my little present.

I'm in the same boat. I just posted about how it makes me feel like gumby and all the other nurses call us green beans...

Hunter green. Hunter green jacket with the school crest on the arm. Hunter green scrub top with the school name in white on the left side. And hunter green pants. With white shoes. It makes me look and feel like gumby when I have the jacket, top, an...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely incorporate the different levels of importance in different colors.

I'm starting nursing school this semester, and for the first time I will be at school during lunch without opportunities to go out and get food. I plan on packing my lunch, I just have to figure out what kind of items to bring (i have a feeling lunch...

I've bought all school supplies (binders, pens, pencils, paper, dividers, folders, etc.). I also have gotten my stethoscope, watch, dansko shoes, white undershirts. Still have to get scrubs and clinical duffel which is ordered through my school just...

I too have been having rollercoaster emotions!! First I was on cloud nine and so excited. Then I started doubting myself, then I got excited. Now I got all my school supplies and I am so excited, but I'm terrified something is going to go wrong. I go...

My school gives us a clinical tote with sterile gloves, dressing changes, cath kits, and enema bag for clinical labs - its included in the price of our books rather then paying for it out of pocket; they also give us our hemostat, bandage scissors, p...

when is your start date? august 22nd, 2011 what state are you in? missouri program (lpn,adn,bsn)? bsn program - may 2014 graduation date yippee what is the one piece of advice you are holding onto right now? study, study, study. stay motivated a...

I'm going school supplies shopping tonight to get some items off my buy list!! I'm so excited it really is sad how excited I get when it comes to spending money :) I'll let everyone know what I get later :)

I will be attending Cox College of Nursing. GPA was 3.5ish (don't know the exact number). Didn't have to take the TEAS. Start August 22nd and I am soooooo excited!!!

Ummm... May 2014 so 3 years :)

I agree! But I also believe that they have to teach us something specific to give us a baseline, and once we are actually working we will at some point find our definition of nursing and job duties.

I'm the same way. I highly recommend the Fruit of Loom or Hanes mens undershirts or tanks!! I hate not wearing anything under scrubs, and the mens shirts are long enough that you can tuck them into the pants (unlike women's undershirts) and when you ...

So far all I have is my stethoscope and Danskos. I can't buy books or any clinical supplies until August 15th (the school provides them all). But I plan on buying all my school supplies this weekend... its scary how excited I get when its time to b...

Mine isn't until August 18th Can't pick up books or clinical gear until August 15th And don't have BLS class until August 16th I'm so ready and excited it is driving me nuts!!!

All of my fun books I get on my Nook and I love it. But for textbooks I prefer to have it in front of my face. Its all personal preference though.

26. USB PS. I've also heard a crate that holds file folders is beneficial to hold all graded materials, extra copies of care plans, etc.

Things I have heard from friends: a 3" binder per class to keep powerpoints in smaller folders to keep schedules, syllabi, loose leaf paper, extra care plans, and graded care plans in folders to turn in care plans and such black clicky pens red clic...

I've been busy with summer school so it hasn't hit me yet, but I know it will soon. I'm still at the excited stage, once I get my books, go to orientation, get BLS certified, and buy my supplies I will be at the reality point... Like you, this is t...
