  1. Drug guide... old vs new

    I am starting my nursing classes the first week of Sept. I was wondering if I need the newer versions of Davis's for school? Our instructor said we didn't have to ... in fact in the school bookstore they have the 2008 version (20th ed.) which I didn'...
  2. Drug guide... old vs new

    Yes it is a required book for class.
  3. How long is your commute to nursing school?

    That is insane!
  4. Not impressed and depressed

    I love the information in this post... I am definitely one of those who need to grow a back bone and not take things so personally.
  5. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    A good place to compare prices is the site DealOz.... You can put in the book name or ISBN number and it will show you the prices from all different sites such as Amazon, Ebay, textbooks.com, Barnes and noble. It even shows you rentals.
  6. Not impressed and depressed

    Same here with the pregnancy line.
  7. Can't figure out which one

    I see on my android there is one with a red icon and it is published by USBMIS. This one has the best reviews and to me looks the best from the pictures. As far as the graphics and and it looks user friendly. I also see the unbound and the skyscape....
  8. What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    I would love some danskos but doubt that anyone will gift them to me. I am thinking I will get nursemates probably Dove, Bryar or Callie. These look pretty comfortable Timberland PRO Womens Renova Professional Slip On Shoes 85612 I feel like seeing a...
  9. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    Some were required to be new or in bundles. Plus without my school's financial aid, it would be impossible to afford $800 worth of books. They also have used books in my school's bookstore and I always get the ones that seem clean without highlightin...
  10. Not impressed and depressed

    I felt a little out of place at my orientation also. I finished my pre reqs the year before so I only knew 1 person who was in a class I recently had. I could already see some of the cliques forming. A few girls looked downright nasty (like this>)...
  11. Best Drug Manual??!

    I was looking at the Davis's 2013 vs the Lippincott Drug Guide 2013. I really liked the Lippincott especially since it had pictures of the medications. I have yet to start school tho so I was wondering what is it about the Davis's that everyone loves...
  12. To all the students about to start nursing school...

    Thank you. I start the first week of September and I know I can do this but it just seems so foreign right now. I am wondering if I will have to cut back on work hours ( I currently work full time) and how I can find time for everything.
  13. Best Drug Manual??!

    My school recommends Davis's and from these reviews that is what I will be getting. My teacher said that it does not need to be the current edition though. Wondering if I should get the current edition or save a lot of money and get the '08 edition.
  14. Uniforms

    I won't get my uniforms until Tuesday but the tops and bottoms are Dickie's brand. You can choose between 3 different v-neck style tops- Female, unisex and male and they must be malibu blue. The pants can be any style navy blue dickies. I am so glad ...
  15. How long is your commute to nursing school?

    My commute to my school is about 20 minutes. My clinical sites are based on a lottery with the farthest being about 40-45 minutes away from me and the shortest 15 minutes.
  16. sleep

    I am starting an ADN program in Sept. We have a choice of Monday day or evenings for Nursing 100 and a lottery of clinical sites and times. We have to pick our 3 choices in order of what we prefer for clinicals and then it is chosen during the lotter...

  18. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    I have struggled with obesity and have lost a significant amount of weight. It is good for doctors to speak about weight but not to dwell on it. Like another poster said, we know we are fat and know the risks. I had one gyn who brought up my weight E...
  19. Nursing school excitement...

    I just found out about my acceptance into an RN program after 2 previous denials. I was not expecting to get in. I recently got into an LPN program so I was getting ready for that. When I got home Friday I saw a big envelope from my school and had no...
