  1. early reading

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mistyvenne's topic in General Students

    Even if your teachers skip all over the place it can't hurt to be familiar with the material. I don't think it's overkill, I think it's responsible and

  2. New NS, What's your first "nursing shoe" gonna be?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I knew I was a shoe person but... ; ) I bought Nike Shox, then my husband convinced me to try on Danskos (he's a chef/restaurant manager and swears by them). I was reluctant about about them before...

  3. ATTENTION MOMMIES!

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mommy_5's topic in General Students

    I'm the mother of two boys ages 4, and 11. It's such a relief to read everyone's posts and not feel like you are the only one juggling. My family is very supportive but doesn't live nearby. My husband...

  4. Fall 2011, what's your schedule?

    BelleNscrubs04 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm starting my ADN nursing program in a few weeks. My 1st semester (of five semester program) will be: Fundamentals of nursing (6 credit hours) Fundamentals of nursing clinical ( 1 day/week)...

  5. "Too many" nursing programs?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    In my area we don't have wait lists. Our state BON doesn't accredit programs without a consistent 80% NCLEX pass (1st try, 1st 6 months). A school just shut down it's program in my town yesterday...

  6. Going shopping for school supplies tomorrow

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way. I love school supplies, stationary, office supplies and books :

  7. Getting ready to start Shelton State ADN Aug 22!

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Did ya'll hear about what happened to Stillman? Their nursing program is shut down now. I feel terrible for those who were counting on getting their degree from that program! At the same time, I'm...

  8. Done with nursing school!!!!

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to pitaya's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  9. Future Nursing Student, Please Help!!!

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to FutureHopefulNurse's topic in General Students

    Check into the admissions criteria at the school you are looking into. Ask how many applications they got last year. My school took 50 RN candidates and 50 LPN out of about 500 applicants (in fall)....

  10. De-bining Books???

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the imfo. How long did it take you to hole punch them

  11. De-bining Books???

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    Yes, I always see the page at the front of books that say it was stolen if missing the cover but I've never actually seen anyone selling one. I always find myself wondering wouldn't the book "pirate"...

  12. ADN program and a BSN program, what are the structural differences?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to teamojonj's topic in General Students

    In that case, the actual nursing courses are probably very similar to mine. You most likely have a couple of theory/ethics/community health type classes that an ADN program wouldn't. I know several...

  13. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    I love my naturally long fingernails. They feel like a (tiny) part of my identity since I've had them since my tween years and both my grandmother and mother (both now gone) also always had long...

  14. ADN program and a BSN program, what are the structural differences?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to teamojonj's topic in General Students

    Did you get accepted right after high school or have you already had your co-reqs/prereqs? I live in a college town where there is a University BSN program and a CC ADN program (I'm doing ADN then...

  15. Getting ready to start Shelton State ADN Aug 22!

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yea!! I ordered my stethoscope today. A "gift" from my hubby, I went all out and got a Littman cardiology III in plum. I hope I love it because It has to last me a few years. I can't wait untill it...

  16. You know you are a Nursing student when...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to okredrobot's topic in General Students

    When you ogle Littman stethoscopes like you use to coach

  17. Nervous about getting a spot in this semester's nursing/clinical sequence...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to studentnursepupmom's topic in General Students

    Wow! That has to be stressful. I thought I would go crazy waiting for my letter. I understand your need to vent. I've never heard of a school doing that way but...it's their show I guess :) I wish you...

  18. Help in deciding to go into nursing.

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to dream job's topic in General Students

    I'm sure nursing in your situation will have challenges but I would think teaching would have more. Teaching jobs and benefits are very dependent on tenure which would be hard to get if you move a...

  19. Apology to Nursing Staff

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to DariaM's topic in General Students

    If you have to write an apology, I think you've made a good start. You regret any offense that you caused and apologize. It was never your intent to be unprofessional, or cause offense... Try and get...

  20. De-bining Books???

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    As crayolamyworld says, I might do this once class starts if they are just too much to carry. I bought as many books as I could as ebooks on my iPad but I still have a couple of thick heavy hardbacks....

  21. WHERE do I buy a TEAS study guide?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at Barnes and Noble under ATI

  22. Extra Books/Materials (that aren't required)

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    I always buy supplemental books. I learn well by reading but reading the same text over and over gets boring. I also like to see/read about things in different ways. It helps me to understand and...

  23. How often do you get sick? More or less often than

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Wash your hands constantly. Get plenty of sleep (this is the hard one for me), and eat well, exercise (to relieve stress) and get a flu shot. That's my plan. I usually get sick about once a year but I...

  24. Advice? Tips? I start the RN program this month and I am terrified to say the least

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to clclc4444's topic in General Students

    I don't think many of us are replying because we are all in the same boat! : ) I don't have any advice. I just wanted to say that I know how you feel. That's why I'm spending so much of what's left of...

  25. Pep Talk Please

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in General Students

    I second all of this and would just add: Last year my A&P book was like another language at first but I just reading it and before I knew it I understood and did great. Go to your local library...
