Our uniforms are black scrub top and polo, with tan pants. I actually like it.

Ours are Black scrub top and polo, with tan scrub pants. Tops have the logo on them. Not bad.

Congrats to you :yeah:

The required text look like the list I received my first semester last year. At my school they put most of the books in a box and we just purchased the box, with a couple others separately ($500 +). Good thing is that you will probably use a good amount of these books during nursing school. I would highly recommend Amazon.com, I used this site for my second semester classes and I saved a great deal of money. As far as the recommended books, contact your profs and see if they recommend one of the books to be purchased now and see what you can hold off on. Like I already said, please look into Amazon, you can sign up for a prime account and receive some purchases with free two day shipping. Good luck!!!

CONGRATS TO YOU. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF. :yelclap:

I was wondering if you (personally) receive umemployment while attending nursing school by using this waiver.

I recently completed my first semester in nursing school and I can honestly say that I really did not understand the total reason and the process of completing a careplan. I want to thank you for taking the time to answer this burning question for me. Thanks again!!!

Thanks, I totally understand what you are saying. It does suck because I know one of the people who are receiving these accommodations very well, we are in nursing school together, and know the circumstances. I have applied for other jobs with in the hospital. I just have been on this floor for years and I would like to work on this floor when I graduate, but it doesn't seem as though this will be possible. I don't know what I am going to do. School is very important to me.

Hello, I have worked for this same facility for many years, I am currently a PCA in nursing school. I recently requested to be PRN, so that I may focus more on my studies. My boss flat out told me that it is not possible, because there are no PRN positions available. This is not the first time that I have had problems with my schedule. Keep in mind that this facility is suppose to work with those who are obtaining a health care degree. In saying that, I have asked in the past to have my schedule reset so that it is possible for me to go to school. At that time there were maybe one or two opening on the floor, so there was room to change my schedule around. She told me she would see what she could do. After asking her many times within a three month period, she told me that the floor was full and that I would not be able to switch my schedule at this time. I did some digging and found that my boss had given the schedule that I asked for to someone who was new to the department. I then noticed that she had accommodated another person who had just started as well. So after a month, I asked my boss again if she would be able to change my schedule, because I was beginning to fall asleep in class and again she told me she would see what she could do. Within a two week period a person in my department decided to quit, so my boss told me she would be able to change my schedule. Jumping to the present, One of the same people who have received accommodation for school purposes asked to change their status to PRN about two months ago, my boss had no problem developing a position for this person. I asked about about two weeks ago, and she told me that she could not. Now me and the other person who is currently PRN are two different shifts, and there are no others on my shift who are PRN. I believe that there is something fishy going on. I am not one to pull out the race card, but I am black and they other who I have mentioned are white. PLEASE PLEASE, tell me what you think or give me a suggestion as to what to do. Keep in mind that I have not said anything about feeling discriminated to my boss. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so proud of myself, i got in to the nursing program. i have just finished my first week in the program.

Your negativity is not needed on this site.

I seriously hope that you are kidding.

Thanks for giving a list of things that are important to you. I am newly starting nursing school in less than a week, and I was wondering what are the must haves.

Hello, Having a strong support system when you have children is such a good thing. I know that if I am struggling I can call my parents and they will come and pick up my 3 children so that I can focus. Good Luck to you!!!!!!
