  2. Acceptance letters for Shelton state fall 2011

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I didn't order the 102 books that you need an online access code for yet. I'll probably just get it from the bookstore. The others I ordered exactly the same using the ISB number from the bookstore...

  3. Do I Have What it Takes To Be a Nurse?

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

    I also just wanted to add that a friend of mine made mistakes when in college the first time around. Then she got her ADN from community college. Now, a few years later, she has already been accepted...

  4. Do I Have What it Takes To Be a Nurse?

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

    K Girl is right. You will be required to submit all records. I was in a similar situation though and know many others who have been also. There are programs with different requirements, you just need...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to IntelCorei72600k's topic in General Students

    I am personally working on becoming fit now ( I start nursing school in the fall). I want to be fit, and I think I'll enjoy nursing more if I am. That said...Our nursing uniforms were offered up to...

  7. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    A friend (an RN that went to a different program than mine) recently asked me if we "were given the 'look around, half of you won't be here at the end of the program' speech at orientation....

  8. Major in nursing and minoring in Psychology?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Kenanipel's topic in General Students

    As JJJoy said at many universities a minor when doing nursing isn't even an option. There are some things you can do with a Psychology BS that might relate well with nursing though if you can do that...

  9. To rent or not to rent?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to patiently-waiting's topic in General Students

    We were advised to buy because we would be using them multiple semesters, need them for reference, and to study for NCLEX. I think Brillohead's idea would be perfect if you know someone well that you...

  10. Used Books

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to marathonmama's topic in General Students

    I usually buy all of my books from the bookstore but this time I've already purchased many of mine from Amazon. They were a few dollars less new than if I had purchased them used from the bookstore. I...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I've looked ALL over for shoes. I was set on a pair of skechers and was walking back to the store in the galleria and saw another store and thought I would check in there just to make sure. Well, they...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thanks for the nursing kit imfo. I guess I better get started pricing sthethoscopes, pen lights, and scissors. Have you bought yours yet? What kind of shoes did you get? I got my first TB test "read"...

  14. Acceptance letters for Shelton state fall 2011

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm not sure what all comes in the nursing kit. I've already had a problem opening the App, but I emailed tech support and they answered me basically saying just to uninstall it and reinstall when...

  15. I think I made the wrong decision....:(

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to iwanttobeanurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you take some basic/core classes at first and explore your options? Do you have anything else you want to do in mind? Does the counseling office give out career inventory assessments? You might...

  16. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    Ours are dark green (school color) with embroidered logo. White lab coats and shoes. The uniforms are Cherokee and we were able to choose between the more traditional uni-sex style and the more...

  17. Nurse fanny packs

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

    I wonder if a small, flat cross-body bag might work well for those of us who are more fashion conscious? What do think? Has anyone ever tried using one of

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thanks for the shoe info Teaton. Are any of you planning to buy your own nicer stethoscope or is everyone using the one we get in the nursing kit? If you are buying another one, what kind? I just...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I forgot to ask about shoes too! I think I'll try and call tomorrow to ask. It was great meeting you all. I hope I get the chance to talk to you all more in August. I went by American Family Care...

  20. white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My friend's nursing school had the same rules. They were basically mandating white briefs or "granny panties". I was horrified that they didn't require flesh colored instead but...what are you going...

  21. Would you sacrifice to be able to go to nursing school

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    My husband and I are sacrificing now so I can go to nursing school and we can be in a better situation in the future. There are times that it stings to downsize but moving into a smaller apartment...

  22. Acceptance letters for Shelton state fall 2011

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Ok. So I was able to get a money order at a machine at Walmart for $.60, so not too bad. I went ahead and got enough to order two uniforms, including 2 lab coats but didn't add tax. If tax is needed...

  23. Acceptance letters for Shelton state fall 2011

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    So frustrating! I went to the bank a few minutes ago and it had already closed, it seems my bank doesn't even keep traditional bank hours. I've spent all day trying to decide how many uniforms to...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to sarah456's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm so excited, I can't sleep. I'm wasting the night on allnurses : ) I haven't bought anything yet but I am starting to ogle white shoes and stethoscopes. I have an iPad that my inlaw bought me...

  25. What do you listen to while studying

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    Classical or other word-less music. I'd rather study in silence but with two loud kids sometimes it takes the noise canceling headphones and some background music to muffle the distractions. During...
