    11:30am at King Street and Georgia Ave...I'll be there! As for the parking garage, does anyone know if we need an MC parking permit to park there, or is it a public one that you pay for? I've only...

    I'm VERY excited, EXTREMELY anxious, and a little bit nervous lol. I just want to get started already! Or at least have some information to get all the preparations underway. I've looked for some...

    I heard from someone who's in the program that we're going to be expected to know pretty much everything we learned in A&P and that if you don't remember much, to definitely brush up on it because...

    Thanks for the links Nikki! Every few dollars saved counts! :) Marissa, I'm totally up for a group review for A&P! I still have all of my notes and objectives from both I and II plus some...

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks Kristian! I was favoring that pair also! Just out of curiosity, has anyone begun reviewing any notes or anything? I took A&P I last summer and A&P II last fall so I'm feeling a little...

    I'm still pretty sure I wanna get shoes from Nurse Mates, but I found out there's a store that sells them in White Marsh Mall near Baltimore so I'm gonna go try them on before I decide. I really want...

    Hello ladies! I sent everyone (Nikki, Marissa, and Kristian) a PM with my contact info. Let me know if you got them! Thanks :) Btw, The Walking Company is GREAT albeit pricey but I'm betting it'll be...

    Just saw all your recent postings ladies! I'm babysitting a friend's daughter while she has a job interview. I'm on my phone now but I'll message my contact info as soon as I'm home later. I'm in for...

    Same here; I've been so tempted to buy the great deals I'm finding, but I really want to wait to make sure I'm getting the "right" things so that I don't have to worry about returning anything and...

    Hmmm...good point about the watch Nikki. I guess I'll have to add that to my list of questions for the

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Oh yeah, and we should also ask about incandescent vs. LED for the penlights. Here's a link to a previous thread on that subject. Based on the responses, I think I'd opt for the incandescent......

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I really need to make a list of questions to ask at Orientation in case I forget any of them! My newest one is this: a penlight with or without a pupil gauge?? I'm guessing reusable is better also? So...

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    YES! I also wanted to find something I could wear everyday. I swim also, so this could work for that as well! I too could spend hours looking at this stuff all day! Luckily my son needs me to do...

    WOW!!! That's great! The watch looks awesome! I may have to steal your idea and look for another one on-line

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    No I don't. I was actually just looking at watches on-line. I want one that's: 1) Water-proof 2) Lights up/Glows 3) Has military time and a second hand 4) Has a comfortable wrist band This has not...

    I've had an IPhone before Nikki and while I did like the phone itself, the service was very spotty and the plan prices are soooo expensive. Now I have a lower-class Android and it works great but the...

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Only thing about using a smart phone: will the hospital that we do our clinicals in allow us to carry a cell phone over a PDA? I know that cell phones are restricted in many parts of...

    MomBak2Skool replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    No problem Kristian! I'm thinking that instead of getting a PDA I'll just invest in a smart phone. My husband has one (the Sprint EVO 4G I believe) and he has tons of memory on it. He has Adobe Reader...

    I just found a highly recommended shoe for nurses called Nurse Mates. They come in all different styles (slip-ons, backless, lace-up, etc.). They're pretty pricey but they have them for cheaper on...
