Sending you a private message :)

I was accepted into Spring then emailed Donna that I would like to move up to Fall if a seat became available. I just got notified that I can move up, so I am in Fall! Which likely means theres another seat opened up in Spring!

I just received my acceptance letter for Spring as well í ½í¸Š I emailed hoping to get bumped up to Fall but either way I'm so excited and relieved!

The drawn out anticipation is slowly driving me bananas. I'll be following this thread now to see when you folks start getting notified AND my email too now! I am so ready for this. Sending good vibes out for all you future classmates.

What are the essential items that you carry in your scrub pockets? How many pockets do you like and where do you keep everything so you can always find what you need?

Do you all think ts important to buy the latest edition for any of these study guides you mention or go cheap and get an older version on eBay?

I'm really interested in trying these. I have the classic Dansko that I wear at my current job that involves a lot of standing and I'm always surprised how happy my feet are at the end of the day despite the hard sole. I've had them for 5 years and t...

Glad you found on you like. I was looking at those online but I always thought they look rather bulky and a little manly :)) is it very bulky?

Yes let us know what you find fits well, I'm 5 foot even :)

It always grosses me out to think of pumping or breastfeeding in the bathroom. I can't even imagine how nasty that would be. I sure hope you can find a suitable spot to pump, they had better accomadatem you! Good luck and congrats on the baby and sch...

I'm going to take medical terminology this semester and I think it'll be helpful even though I don't need it for my degree. You could also consider a math med course.

I'm curious about the time frame for short and long-term? When do you think things will change? 5 years? 10? More or less?

I am so excited about becoming a nurse (I'm on the waitlist and will start Fall 2012). I really feeling like this is the career path that will fit me and that it is such an amazing and honorable job. I have a friend who is in the healthcare field tha...

People seems to really line Saunders the best. Which particular Saunders did you find helpful? From the sound of things med/surg is the hardest semester. I've been curious too, thanks for asking :)

Since I haven't started nursing school yet I dont know how anyone would believe me if I said it was my passion. Though I do feel that it is and really will be once I actually start I can't say from experience only from an idea of what I think nursing...

I wonder why they call that a backpack?! It's really just a small suitcase :)

I've read a lot of posts talking about how important it is to "stay organized" when youre in NS. I'd like to hear some tips on what works for you. Let's here some details and specifics :) Thanks!

I love that most everyone enjoyed NS. I am so looking forward to going back to school and I've been hoping I won't be disappointed but I'm really planning on enjoying the learning process!

Yeah, I can see how that's a waste. If you had taken the class a while ago then you could almost justify the review. As it is it's going to be a waste of time and money. I'm sure you'll get some stuff drilled into you so you'll never forget! I'm not ...

I'd probably feel relieved it was the same book/course. Maybe you'll actually crack the book this time. Since you'll have the basics down you'll have the brain power to dive deeper into the concepts so long as you don't get lazy! I think all said it'...

Jeez, what a pain in the neck! I had to pause and really look to figure out what the error was. These kinds of situations and people are tricky because they can make you feel vindictive. My initial thought is: Ha! They got what was coming! But I als...

Thanks for all the tips! It's all helpful stuff. I've been thinking about getting a rolling backpack to save my back though I may wait until school starts to see how much stuff we actually need to lug around on a daily basis. Do you all use them?

Just a little thing but try parking in the lot farthest from your class so you have to walk it.

That's funny, I just posted the same question!

Packing up the night before is a smart. You won't end up forgetting stuff in the morning rush.
