    Am I not understanding the qualifications? To be qualified for active duty employment w/ the Navy Nurse Corps, the age requirement is between 18-41. I'd be 42 when I

    GM! I was looking over our list of clinical facilities to decide which 3 to choose...National Naval Medical has a nursing internship and I was very interested in the nurse corp. Did some more research...

    Hi girls- Nikki- yes it's MC nursing skills simulation lab. The Spark Chart has all sorts of quick reference material for clinicals, I don't know exactly what's on the chart though. (B & N has it...

    Hi Marissa- I too will be keeping my fingers crossed. I was wondering whether or not you girls were on FB a while back, but didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable asking... Aren't dogs great? I'm...

    Thanks! Yes, he's a Bichon. Yeah, that cute face has melted our hearts all these years. We've had him since he was 10wks old. His name is Izzi and he'll be 8 on the 24th. We were just talking about...

    It is a small world :) Do you know about the MC lab group on FB? If not, put in a search and it should come up. I joined it a few months ago. And if you want friend request

    Hey Nikki- we had BI 203 together and we still keep in touch. Were we talking about the same person regarding the Teas? It's a good idea to wait on the watch if you're getting it primarily to wear for...

    Is anyone familiar w/ Spark Charts? The Nursing Spark Chart is a helpful reference to have @ clinicals. Available at Barnes and Noble and the charts can be downloaded....

    FYI...We won't be able to organize a support group on allnurses, however we can start a support thread. Depending on what you guys want to do, we can have it be specific to our nursing program or for...

    Lil-Dragon replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I agree completely. I'm very grateful as well. As we get older, we will know or know of more people with health issues. It's comforting to know that I have a group of kind and warm women to share my...

    He will be 78 in Dec. I started noticing certain memory impairments about 4 yrs ago...loosing train of thought, not able to find the right words. Unfortunately at the time, my mom kept it from us and...

    Wow, Marissa that's a lot to deal with. I'm so sorry. If it's any consolation, my dad was diagnosed with dementia about 3 years ago. He has good days and bad days. It's been hard on all of us. Nikki,...

    Hey Marissa, that's a terrific idea and I'm certainly for it! Sorry to hear about what's been going on w/ you. Please let me/us know if we can help. What do you think about also starting a group on...

    Lil-Dragon replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think sometimes they forget that they were once in our shoes. Nurses unfortunately have a reputation of "eating their young". I don't understand why some do it. It's tough enough trying to start a...

    Lil-Dragon replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yes, I agree w/ you both. What I meant was instructors/preceptors being down right abusive to students time after time. And in some cases, singling out students to bully and intimidate. The only thing...

    The Sketchers should work out fine Nikki. I've been searching for more threads hoping to get more info on clinical experiences and came across lots of horror stories: being yelled at, ignored, talked...

    Thanks for letting me know Andrea. Nikki, I like the backpack you chose. Thanks for posting the links for youtube. I've been comparing prices on scopes and other equipment/supplies and I'm tired of...

    I haven't decided on taking my laptop for classes. I suck @ typing anyway, much faster writing. Also, I don't want it to somehow grow legs and walk away lol! I read that one student had her Cardio III...

    Lil-Dragon replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Andrea, thanks for the info. I noticed most med. supply sites that sell scopes also have replacements parts available. And it seems the Cardio has a 5 yr warranty and the Classic II has a 3 yr. I keep...

    Lil-Dragon replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I've read Cardio III is worth the investment. I'm most concerned with acoustical quality, so I may end up investing in that. Does anyone know about maintenance- if the tubing needs replacing, other...

    I'm leaning towards the Littman Classic II, also; very good reviews. Andrea, do you have a brand and model in mind? I wonder if the vendor will have some to test
