  1. Nursing school, midwifery school, then kids?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to katinthehat8914's topic in General Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

  5. I'm an apple.

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

    I'm an apple and I plan on having my school uniforms tailored. Especially, the long blazer like lab coat. A blazer that fits well with a fitted (not oversize top) underneath always helps to balance me...

  6. Will get ADN at a comm. college hinder your chance of getting a good job!?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to AmberLeigh000's topic in General Students

    It differs by region, but where I live ADN's have no trouble finding jobs. There are fairly tight regulations on how many graduates must have found employment by 6 months after nursing school too, so...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to princsheather's topic in General Students

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

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

    I wonder why they outlawed those brands? I've heard of schools that say no holes, or no athletic style, or no backless but if they allow New Balance what's wrong with sketchers or Shox? Oh well, at...

  13. Tell me about your study group/study sessions

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students
