  2. Alegria Vs. Sketchers Shapeups

    Streamline2010 replied to FoodieJ's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you have a low arch and a flatter and wider foot, the Work Skechers "XW" rockers might be exactly right. But I don't think they will be as good a fit for a higher arch and a long and narrow foot....

  3. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

    Streamline2010 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I re-read the thread and I'll add: 1. Academic history: For the schools I applied to, coursework, degrees, GPA, and the results for the pre-entrance exams carried the most weight. 2....

  4. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

    Streamline2010 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of the 5 schools that I applied to, only one, a hospital-based diploma program, required an interview. Most all others used a point system, based on a pre-entrance exam and college coursework. Some...

  5. Where to find all white Nike Shox

    Streamline2010 replied to RyanL2's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The only concern I have about the Shox is how high is the arch in them, and will it work for low arch feet. Since I couldn't find any Shox in anything close to my size to try on, I won't know until I...

  7. Men's Shoes

    Streamline2010 replied to DC Collins's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The steel toe shoes might not work for you if you do a lot of bending your feet, like hunkering down on your heels or something, because they tend to be stiff. But some of those work shoe companies...

  8. Glad they are flooding the market with New Grads...

    Streamline2010 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    As a RN student, you'd better believe that I am taking notes on all of the dissatisfaction and the weird kowtowing and non-nursing tasks that nurses are expected to do, with the full intention of...

  11. How to keep shoes white?!?!

    Streamline2010 replied to Raebeth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What I would use is a leather dye (paint type) that can be bought at a shoe repair shop. It's a little kit with a bottle of deglazer and a bottle of paint. Much better than liquid shoe polish or any...

  12. NLN PAX RN pre entrance exam HELP!!

    Streamline2010 replied to mightwannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get some type of study guide and go over it thoroughly. You can search here for previous discussions on PAX, HESI, TEAS, and other nursing pre-admission exams. There used to be a free download of...

  13. Reimbursement Question

    Streamline2010 replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I have received tuition reimbursement, and this was non-nursing, these had to be met: 1. Prove how this course or this degree is relevant to the job, and possibly justify that what you learn...

  14. Can an LPN challenge the NCLEX-RN....

    Streamline2010 replied to Heidi W's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe there is a requirement for so many hours of classroom and clinical instruction, and the school has to keep track of that to prove to the state BON that the student actually got it. LPNs...

  15. Take the lpn route in this economy?

    Streamline2010 replied to beachmum's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Oh, and the Pell and other grants depend on your household income, so you have to fill out the FAFSA online and be evaluated for those types of grants. Pay attention to the deadlines, because that...

  16. Take the lpn route in this economy?

    Streamline2010 replied to beachmum's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    >> BE WISE, if you get retraining money, because you only get ONE training. ONE. So use it toward the LPN or RN, not some little thing that doesn't pay well. Because, after you are trained,...

  17. New DON is going to ruin the facility

    Streamline2010 replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I don't know, but sounds like chances are she's one of those "consultant" types that no facility wants to admit they made the mistake of hiring, so they give her a glowing reference and push her off...

  18. What is your advice to new students?

    Streamline2010 replied to CASM's topic in General Students

    Treat school with the same degree of maturity and professionalism that you would a nursing job, and consider it your job. If you are working on a team project, do your fair share and pull your...

  19. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Streamline2010 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Pitt's is 2 regular semesters and a summer. I didn't think I could do well, with it that accelerated, lol. Plus some of my prereqs are over 8 years old and would have to be repeated. Accelerated 2nd...

  20. Number of applicants increasing for accelerated BSRN

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen lots of advice on here saying that there are fewer applicants for those second-degree RN programs than for other programs. But a discussion on another (non-nursing) board gave these...

  22. Any good study guides for the teas?

    Streamline2010 replied to janeex's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Search for TEAS here. I posted some info, and links earlier. The math was straight out of the G.E.D. math review books. I presume that English would also be GED-level. I only had problems with the...

  23. I'm 53 and want to be an LVN (Clock is ticking)

    Streamline2010 replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might also look at the local vo-tech schools. Every one of them in my locale runs a LPN program full time 1 year and the total cost with books & uniforms & all averages $10,000 or so....
