  1. Color combinations?

    I like wine and ciel together, or khaki scrub pants with almost any darker color
  2. Are your choice of scrubs childish?

    I work in a residential care facility and I get compliments from the residents most when I where brightly colored and patterned tops--particularly florals, but I also have a cartoon owl print top that...
  3. The hospital I have clinicals at (in Maine) is color-coded. Nurses are navy, CNAs are ciel, RT is black, endo techs are purple, and so on. This is recent within the last couple of years. They put...
  4. fainting

    I had a near miss the other week at clinical. I was able to observe a procedure in which the interventional radiologist threaded a catheter from the groin up through to the facial arteries to...
  5. Is DocuCare and Prep U really Helpful?

    I LOVE Prep U. My professors actually take some questions from the Prep U test bank, so I've seen familiar questions on tests before. Even without that added bonus, it really gets you in the habit...
  6. Where do you all get textbooks from

    I buy mine from Amazon. Between work, school, and volunteering, I don't have time to spend hours researching the cheapest place for each particular book, so I just check the school bookstore and...
  7. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?

    I had my last final today. We don't have any official grades yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting an A in everything, maybe an A- in one of the classes (Nursing Arts and Sciences) but I won't know...
  8. Not wanting to take care of male resident

  9. What should I have engraved on my stethoscope?

    I just put my initials on
  10. Help me calculate my med surg grade..

    It's one thing to want to know, it's another thing to ask the internet to figure it out for you. It's not difficult math (probably easier than dose calculations,
  11. Anyone doing well?

    I'm doing really well so far and I'm very proud of myself! I'm really enjoying everything I'm learning and a lot of it just clicks for me. I never, ever feel like I can talk about my grades with...
  12. Muslim nursing students

    I'm an atheist, and I know a lot of atheists, and I have never met one who was offended that other people practice religion. That's a bit ridiculous. I've certainly been offended when people have...
  13. Your Spring Schedule

    Adult med/surg lecture and clinical, psych lecture and clinical, community partnership. I might take an ASL course for fun, but I'm not sure if it will work with my
  14. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    I would. I have had jobs as close as 10 minutes and as far as an hour. I think an hour would be the absolute MAX. I currently commute 40 minutes (still a student, but work in a group home) and...
  15. Class of 2015

    Hey everybody, just checking in! How is your semester going? I'm liking things so far and doing very well. I'm a bit stressed out by my fundamentals skill lab; I really don't think we are learning...
  16. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    Eh, I've had both Mac laptops and PC laptops. I'd say I prefer Mac slightly, just for the integration with iPhone (which I have) and iPad (mini, which I'm getting soon). However, I have a PC laptop...
  17. Nursing or Medical School

    I was like ellaballet. Thinking of med school, shadowed a doctor and did some research and decided nursing was for me. Med school is expensive but the return on investment is pretty good, as far as...
  18. Where do YOU sit in class?

    I usually sit towards the front but not the very front row. I have had professors who spit, professors who yell, and professors who pick on the first row (always having them be the guinea pig, not in...
  19. Flu shots as a student anyone?

    I always get the flu shot. I refuse to put others who cannot get the vaccine (allergies, immunocompromised, etc) at
  20. PrepU prepwho? Anyone used it?

    We are using PrepU in my fundamentals class. I like it; it helps with practicing the correct type of questions. I like being able to focus in on my weaker areas,
  21. What has been your favorite prerequisite?

    We took pathophysiology and pharmacology as pre-reqs in my program and I loved both of them. I ended up really liking sociology, too, much to my surprise. I had a great professor for that
  22. How many men in your cohort?

    We have about 6 or 8 out of 60 or so. I'm not male but my fiance is in my same
  23. Class of 2015

    We've had our first week of classes. So far, so good. I like my professors for the most part. One of them is brand new to the school, which is hard because she teaches fundamentals, and it feels...
  24. Did you take a Medical Terminology class?

    My school doesn't require it, but others that I researched did. It seemed to follow geographic
