Our school has a strict no personal electronics policy for class and clinical. I'm pretty bummed out because i wanted to use my iPod touch for clinicanls.

We have an all white uniform. They are not particular about the brand but it must be white and plain. Straight leg pants (no flair), v neck tunic (no buttons, ribbons, etc), white shoes (no open heal style), lab coat, we can wear a scrub jacket if we...

Thanks! That's my iPad actually (but I can use it as a photo frame). Thanks for the tip I'll be sure to try it next time.

This is my study area and the other side of the room has a Tread Climber for my workout area. (Dumb question: how do you guys make your pics big and in the text?)

I think it would be best to go straight for the BSN. If you can't do that go for the ADN and if can't do that go for LPN. Aim for the highest level that you can do first it will save you time and money in the long run.

My commute is about an hour away and I have to cross state lines lol. Weather wise there's not much going on except for rain.

Ahh I just bought my saunders nclex book. Oh well. I am about to start nursing school on Aug 16th so I'm kinda bummed, but I'll still use mine to study during school.

I had an A in A&P 1 and 2 and in micro (90 pts) and a 97 on the compass reading. I only know one other person who got in and she had more points than me. I applied last semester with 147 points. I actually retook my compass reading test and impro...

I got in with a 187 for this fall 2010.

I want to say that your school requires it because the hospitals do.

Ultimately you should do what feels right. I was in a similar situation. I was living on my own and I loved it. When I decided to go to nursing school I made the difficult decision to move back in with my parents. I did not want to deal with the stre...

Has ordered a blood test online? I need a varicella titer and have called around trying to find a place to get it done. Most places will do it with a physicians order. I no longer have insurance and am on a budget. I saw that you can order the test o...

my school is pretty far away and my health department does not do them. Overall, i'm happy with my decision. I feel like I saved money.

Just an update I decided to go ahead and order my test online. I used privatemdlabs.com it was $49.49, but i found a coupon code for 15% off (XB49W8) and the total came to $42.07. I went to the lab today and got my blood drawn and I should get the re...

So far no homework and doubt that we will have any reading assignments before class (we start on the 16th registration is on the 12th-but who knows). But I am curious what type of programs you guys are in? maybe there's a correlation between program ...

I'm not sure what the cut off was. The only person I know who applied had more points than I did. As for classes, it seems like you only have class two days a week (monday and Tuesday) so that's not too bad. Plus, I'm sure you can find some one or a ...

I am also starting the process of getting all of my stuff. I just bought my watch and I went with some advice on these boards about keeping it cheap because it's going to get gross. I went to target and bought a watch for $12.99. I'm such a nerd that...

Just an update. I got into the jdcc program for this fall! I had 187 points. Courtlane143, From what I heard pjc's program is still an ADN program they are adding and ADN-BSN program though. So that's why they probably aren't adding more seats. Again...

After reading all of the great things you all had to say about sketchers shape ups i think that I am probably going to get a pair. I have one question though did you buy just the regular shape ups or the ones for work? I think the main difference is ...

I guess I was just spoiled by my first college experience. I could register well in advance and professors posted books and it linked to the school bookstore so I could compare. Now I'll be attending a tiny school where there is only one day to regis...

I start on August 16th! I'm really excited, but by the sounds of your replies I feel a little behind lol. So far i bought Saunders NCLEX review book and my Stethoscope is on the way. Other then that I have been focusing on the 'paper' side (making su...

I am so nervous starting my first day. I just got my acceptance letter Thursday and it included the schedule for the first week: monday aug 16: 9am-10am General assembly 10:15-12pm new student orientation 12pm-1pm Bookstore- books, packets, and suppl...

Hi guys! I love this thread it has been very helpful. I applied to JDCC last semester (to start in the spring 2010) and did not get in with a score of 145. I finished up Micro and retook the compass test and now have a score of 187 and if this score...
