    Does anyone like when their school picks their classes

    CrazierThanYou replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    Our classes are only offered at one time a semester and they make our clinical schedule for us. I got mine today. I can't comment on it because those words aren't appropriate for this forum...

    You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    CrazierThanYou replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    For real. I read some of these costs and I nearly squawk! My tuition is around $800 a semester and I can usually get all my books online for around $200 or usually

    CrazierThanYou replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I'm lucky that the school in my county doesn't yet accept only those who are blessed enough to have health insurance coverage. I'm sure if these people were standing on the sidelines instead of...

    Nursing school schedule-vent !

    CrazierThanYou replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I did not get lucky. We got our clinical schedule today. Our school merges with another in the second year. Clearly, preference has been given to the other school. Most of us from my school are going...

    CrazierThanYou replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Indeed. But it should be a privilege based on merit and academics, not the ability to fork over a huge insurance premium every month. Its discrimination against those of lesser means. I'd be willing...

    CrazierThanYou replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I do consider it discrimination because it is hindering those without the means to purchase insurance and in doing so, keeps that person down. Someone explain to me how having insurance keeps one...

    CrazierThanYou replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Interesting. I haven't thought of that before. I was considering transferring to another school because it was a bit closer for me. They told me that unless I had insurance, I couldn't be accepted. I...

    Used Books? E-books?

    CrazierThanYou replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    I absolutely buy the used books and I usually buy the cheapest one I can find. I've never gotten one in poor condition! I have never used CDs that come with them except for the Virtual Clinical books...

    Using a Littmann 3200 Electronic Stethoscope for nursing school?

    CrazierThanYou replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    We had a guy in our class that used one. No big deal. I have heard before that the Littmann lightweight isn't a very good steth and we were recommended not to get one even though it is what is sold in...

    ADN=RN

    CrazierThanYou replied to Birdbr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know about everywhere but in my area, an LPN doesn't get a 'degree', they are diploma students. I'm not sure what you mean by tech school, is that like a career college or trade

    I think this is one of the stupidest requirements ever. I just now qualified for medicaid. If I had to have insurance to be in nursing school, I would have been screwed because there is NO room in my...

    CrazierThanYou replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's good to get opinions but you can't really make a decision based on that. Everyone's feet are different. Many people mentioned Danskos. I think they're horrible. Just like standing on concrete. I...
