  1. Books

    devi replied to danbranham_2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I so feel your pain. When we went to school yesterday to pick up our uniforms and do our ID pics, I noticed the bookstore was still closed. I took a bet that they wouldn't have many of the books...

  2. Percent of men in class?

    devi replied to RN8Wannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    At orientation in May, I noticed that a good 30% of the 100 students in my class are men. It could have been higher,

  3. Nursing Shoes?

    devi replied to sweetmom's topic in General Nursing

    For anyone wanting to order new balance shoes online (which I only feel safe doing since I've worn their shoes and know my size well): www.zappos.com is an awesome site to order shoes from. Their...

  4. Funny Names for Nurses

    devi replied to randomnamees's topic in Nursing Humor

    Haven't gone through all the responses, so hopefully mine is new. My pediatrician was Dr. Pepper

  5. For those who wanted information about joining the Army Nurse Corp, this is for you.

    devi replied to live4today's topic in Government, Military

    Great info. I was seriously considering joining the Army once I complete my BSN. The only reason I've decided against it is "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The sad thing is, I could really see myself...

  6. Financial aid questions

    devi replied to shellybelly's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't blame you. As long as you put down something, anything for the amount you have in savings. Don't leave it as '$0.00' of course...that would be suspicious. I worked in a FA office for over...

  7. Too Soon To Get Overwhelmed!

    devi replied to danbranham_2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm up to around $450 so far, including uniforms ($75), background check ($39), and the physical, immunizations, drug screen, and a couple of other little requirements. $125 of it was for a good...

  8. Too Soon To Get Overwhelmed!

    devi replied to danbranham_2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I read somewhere else on the boards that you're in the same school as me (CPCC?). It sure sounds like it from your description of the orientation. I felt the exact same way, especially about...

  9. Futile Care. Dead is dead.

    devi replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread reminded me of something one of my instructors recently told our class. She told us that even if someone is DNR, we should do our best to resuscitate them if their family is there and...

  10. Backorder form allheart.com

    devi replied to mrdoc2005's topic in General Nursing

    I ordered a Cardio III steth from allheart.com on 9/14. I received an e-mail two or three days later saying it was on backorder, which would delay shipping for an additional two days. I was fine...

  11. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    devi replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    well, I'm actually a redhead too, which is why I was curious. I, too, had no problems whatsoever delivering my son (other than a pretty long

  12. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    devi replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have O- blood. My ex-husband had AB+. When pregnant with my son, I had almost no morning sickness. *shrug* who knows? I just hope it's as easy with the second

  13. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    devi replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard some OB myths about redheads (on this very board, I think). I don't remember exactly what they were, but they pertained to redheads having more trouble with labor and delivery. So what...

  14. Feds won't warn parents about vaccine

    devi replied to WyomingRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Personally, I haven't let my son get vaccines containing thimerosal in years. He is still missing a couple of vaccines because his doctor keeps promising to order the thimerosal-free ones. In fact,...
