I just ordered a pair of Zensah compression socks. I'm not only a nurse but a runner. So I'm on my feet all the time. They're $40 and you can get them at zensah.com They also come in a variety of colors too.

I had to repeat my mental health class because I was 2 points below the requirements. It was really hard initially, but i didn't realize how much anxiety I had working with this population that ended up not allowing me to do well in class This class was my first C in nursing school, and it was hard to think that getting a C in my program held me back. I did however, get an A in my clinical and theory the next semester after repeating it. I got over my anxiety and ended up working well with this population and even helped some of my other classmates. My instructors where even impressed. I got A's in both my clinical and theory class. It was worth it. I still get to graduate this year but not in April, I'll be walking in December. It can be hard to repeat a class, especially since it take so much to get into a program but that doesn't mean that anyone would be any less of a nurse in the future. I talked to one of my instructors and she said that she was really impressed with how I dealt with this set back. Many students who walk out of nursing school with A's don't know what it's like to have a setback. When you interview with employers, they're going to ask you questions about struggles. Those who went in and out of nursing school with excellent grades may not know what it's like to have set backs. For those of us that do, employers will be more impressed because of our experience. It may not be ideal in many of our situations, but you have to have faith that you'll walk out with more from nursing school as a result of repeating a class than if you didn't. It doesn't make anyone any less of a good nurse.

I found this template online that might be useful. I have to do one myself for school and am considering using this one for my assignment. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/teaching-plan-TC030006347.aspx
