I'm pretty particular about my work space. I can't learn in a cluttered environment! We moved into a new house in June, and now I'm lucky enough to have a whole room to dedicate to an office space. :)...
I like to keep my phone tucked away, otherwise I'm too tempted to reply if I get a text message. I got a digital recorder at my college's bookstore. I don't remember what kind it is off the top of my...
Thanks! I've never used a recorder before but I'm going to try to get in the habit of using it this semester. It's supposed to allow me to transfer the files onto my computer, which means hopefully I...
I found a nice watch on this website: Nursemates.com - The Official Nurse Mates Shoes Website I think it was only $20 or $30. I'm bringing my Fundamentals book, and lots of paper to take notes on...
That's great advice, thank you so much. I am going to try really hard to find a job or internship at a local hospital once I finish this first semester of
I suffered with coccyx pain after the birth of my son - he was a 9 lb, 10 oz baby and I'm a relatively small-framed woman. It was determined that the pain I was suffering was nerve-related, and I was...
Who else is totally excited to start on Monday! I got my physical done (finally) today, along with my TD booster, TB test, and I have to get my varicella titer done tomorrow. I've got all supplies...
I personally have heard so many horror stories about schools like ITT Tech that I would never recommend them to anyone. ITT's headquarters are here in my home state of Indiana, and their corporate...

Is that a specific hospital you're talking about that does that? I know some do loan repayments. I hope that I can find a job that will help me pay off my
You have a very competitive score, and I'd be inclined to say that you're probably good - however, with the scores as high as they are right now, it definitely wouldn't hurt to take it
Ugh, I am such a space cadet. Apparently my CPR class was yesterday night - I thought it was tonight! They let me re-schedule for August 23rd without having to pay again. That's the day we start...

If you do chose to attend MedTech or a similar school just be aware that if you do decide to transfer to IW or anywhere else, you will have to re-take your English/Pscyh/etc for your BSN. A...

Just my two cents... I've been hearing from a lot of people, including instructors at school and some family members, that the field of nursing is becoming a lot more competitive. Experienced nurses...
Wow - I just checked my grades and I guess I did get an A in Chem 101! I knew I had an A going into the final, but I was worried I did so badly on it that it brought my grade down to a B. I guess...
I went to go take my drug test today - what a disaster. I drank two cups of iced tea at McDonald's before I went but when I got to the testing facility I STILL didn't have to go to the bathroom. The...
Congrats on the weight loss, Tara! I've gained about 10 pounds since January, which is such a bummer. I had my son last July, and I had no problem losing the baby weight. I've always been pretty...
I had to try my scrubs on at the bookstore over my clothes, which was kind of awkward. I'm usually a 6/8 in pants and a medium in tops but I had to buy "smalls" for both. Can't complain, I guess! 2nd...
Wow - We just had to buy our scrubs in the bookstore, no patch or anything. I asked them about the patch but I guess Lafayette doesn't use it. Khaki-colored elastic pants and Caribbean blue v-neck...
First of all, I would suggest meeting with an adviser at Ivy Tech and discussing what happened. That's the reason incompletes were invented - honestly, I'm not sure exactly how that would affect your...
I signed up for my CPR class today! It was $55, but I'm glad I can cross something else off my list. It's only one evening, four hours long. I still haven't gotten my health insurance stuff worked...
I'm so glad you got into the LPN program, Gatlinburg! :) That's so exciting! Well, I had my orientation on Monday... It took about two hours. We got all the information about books and uniforms, and...
Congrats to all those who got their letters last week! I would've probably posted on here sooner... But this has seriously been the busiest week in my life! Last Thursday we moved into our new house,...
