hi, just was wondering from those who have some clinical experience if you carry a seperate bag to clinicals than you do for lab/lecture? i have had/have back problems in the past and am very careful now about how i lift things so i don't end up not ...

Okay now I am officially jealous !!! I have to ask if you went with the wheels with the flashing lights??? I cannot decide if that is cool or for 6 year olds... I like it but some part of me does not want people thinking of my bag like they do of sho...

I have a laptop, which I may carry... I tend to hand write my notes which brings me to another interesting product... Livescribe.com carries a couple pens that write and record at the same time and can be transfered to a program where you print out t...

I don't find it hard to believe, I find it scary that you would consider doing this type of work while trying to hide the mental state that you are in. You admit that you have health issues and that you have low vision, that your not able to see enou...

I noticed looking at some of your other posts you mention that you have low vision, a driver, a guide dog, black outs and a lot of health issues not mentioned in this post. I am not in your shoes and in no way wish to judge you but it seems that in ...

Hi, I am a little confused as to what you were written up for? You mention work and also becoming an RN and having to basically start over so I was wondering if your a nursing student now or some other type of medical professional? I am not sure how ...

allheart or medisave has a really cheap one... Im talking $5 cheap, they also have one for $20. I cannot remember which site has these prices so I listed both. The ones for this price look like a joke, like a scope on a pen light. They do have one th...

Personally I like our uniforms. They are royal blue scrubs that have the school name and program on the shirt. They can be purchased in Dickies brand or Cherokee brand and they both offer different variations of shirts (1 upper pocket or 2 lower pock...

They have an impressive selection at reasonable prices. Temp: http://www.allheart.com/thermometers.html Pulse Ox: http://www.allheart.com/pulse-oximeters.html ($53 for cheapest one) BP: http://www.allheart.com/blood-pressure-cuffs.html

My plan is to make up some cards in a fine print and color code them on the computer then laminate them myself. I found a product made by Scotch brand called "self-sealing laminating pouches". Says they are photo safe and acid free so if you wanted s...

Hi, I applied for LCC's nursing program for the full-time, will take part time option for the march 2011 deadline and now it is all I can think about . This wait is awful for me, I went from having 86 points and feeling very confident but got a lette...

If anyone else is in this situation and wants to switch a 2 year track seat start date please let me know... Thanks!!!

Yay!!! I got my letter today! Got accepted and so did my friend with 82 points. We got accepted to different start dates though. Does anyone know if they will let people switch start dates? Thanks!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I just erased everything I wrote!!! Guess I'll give this another try!!! :doh: @ rac74... I am so glad you posted what you did! I had looked over the advising guides a few times and noticed that 2011 and 2012 years were combined ...

Hmmm Not really sure where you got the 174 from unless they changed that within the past month but I believe the most for the 2012 year will be 79 if your talking about a traditional program. You may want to check it again and remember you only get 1...

Would you mind sharing how many points it took to get into the accelerated track this year? Thanks :)

Hi, If you go onto the schools website and to the nursing dept. page there will be a tab on the side that says accepted students. If you look through that info it may help with what your looking for. I looked at the schedule for the FT program and th...

Thank you both! The waiting is seriously making me crazy, I would really just like to know. When I got the letter I called them and I can't debate the 84, but like you when I had 86 I felt so confident about it. What happened was that in my high scho...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone was aware what changes are coming to the nursing program for the 2011 and 2012 application deadlines? I talked to a counserlor a few months ago who said changes were coming and when i go to LCC's website it says the 2011 a...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how many uniforms I should buy for the first semester of the nursing program or maybe how many you go through in a week? Is there any other supplies I will need more than 1 of? Thanks

My school is changing over alot of its textbooks, so alot of mine will be new since I always buy mine from the book store. I will only buy a used book after looking thru it and making sure nothing is highlighted or written on the inside. At our scho...

Hi, I am going to school in one state but will be moving after I graduate and pass the NCLEX here. I will be moving somewhere that I will be right on a state line between 2 states. Is it possible to have 2 or 3 licenses at the same time? The state I ...

I am addressing what your saying. If a doctor will sign off that is great, my doctor will also, but it still doesn't change the fact that you are not giving the information that was requested of you by your program. I didn't say write a big sign that...

If you take issues with them wanting all of your personal health information then tell them that! Would you still have issues with them asking for it if you were not on pain meds? I wouldn't trust you because your lying by omission, and in my persona...

Pharm was a very difficult class for me. Not so much because the information was difficult, just because there was soooo much of it. I took it this summer and got a pretty good grade in it, but I am very glad its done with. I don't know how close you...
