  11. iPad for school??

    tanna898 replied to KendallMarie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Funny how some schools won't let you use a hand held electronic device while others require it. I loved having mine at clinicals. It saved me from having to lug around all those books. Plus the apps...

  13. W-withdrawal on record

    tanna898 replied to shannonyocum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tanna898 replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  17. Torn between two nursing shoes. Which one?

    tanna898 replied to Yue09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I used to have a pair of nurse mates and honestly they are not much different than a pair of sketchers or nikes. The most comfortable nursing shoes I have ever owned are my Dansko clogs. They are not...

  18. iPad for school??

    tanna898 replied to KendallMarie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would recommend an iPod because of its smaller size is perfect for clinicals and will fit in your pocket. Clinicals is where you are going to need it the most so you can look up meds, definitions,...

    tanna898 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
