  1. Washing those scrubs?

    Jeez, I washed my work uniform after each wear when I was WAITING TABLES, because of the extreme gross factor (handling half eaten food and drink that made contact with people's mouthes, silverwear,...
  2. Why would my friend request IV supplies?

  5. The "one thing"

    Oof, good topic. C-SECTION. Seriously freaks me out. The epidural... The blood (which typically doesn't bother me) combined with the sight of muscle and fat tissue, the gouging...coterizing......
  6. Anatomy Flashcards: YES OR NO?

    Netter makes excellent flash cards. However useful, they weren't as useful for me in A&P as they were for my friends in PT or Chiropractic school. The ones I used turned out to have ENTIRELY TOO...

  8. Hey all, I was just cpr certified (not the right one needed the one for health professionals). I'm going to do another one to get the right cert done. I was wondering, If any of my other soon to be...

    **sidebar** The use of calculators is permitted during testing and will be provided by the school. People are allowed to use calculators during the PSB now. Does this totally **** off anyone other...
  10. New to Pittsburgh area

    Welcome to the area! How much time have you spent in Pittsburgh? Canonsburg is about 35 minutes outside of the city so theres "less" to do that in the city, but its still not too far away, all...

  12. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    No disrespect taken, I was sleeping and typing poorly, lol. I meant to say: I dont want to sound like I'm disagreeing with the general idea of these posts, because I'm not disagreeing. I'm just...
  13. UPMC MERCY School of Nursing Class of '14

    holy crap you have to have an ipod touch ????? Sounds stupid, I hope we don't need one for Shadyside. I'd go scour "The Exchange" My boyfriend just got one there for like 70 bucks. **edit** also I...
  14. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    And what about all the people that dump thousands and thousands of dollars into health insurance whose payment STILL isn't guaranteed. Not to say I disagree here because I do, but its not hard to see...
  15. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    Ok first things first, I'm not in any way going to say I disagree with anything that anyone above me has said. Because I do 100%, but.... With the soaring, intentionally inflated costs of...

  18. Well, this is to be expected I guess. With all of our long held, awkward, puritanical beliefs about our bodies. I know many a woman that wont talk about reproductive or genital issues with their...

  20. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    St Margarets has a spring program too, Although I think theirs starts in march or something. Much better to go for an RN for only 4 more months of school. One semester of work, dramatic difference...
  21. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    At this point why not just try to go for RN. The RN market is already becoming difficult for Diploma RN's and ADN's so why go for an even lower credential in an area so heavily saturated in...

  24. Do I take the class over again?

    I'm retaking A&P even though I got an A. Simply because I want to know more (and am highly interested in PT and Ortho). Perhaps AUDITING the course is a better option. Audit typically wont...
  25. If they don't give references unilaterally for whatever reason, they should have no problem putting that statement in writing on some letterhead for you. I know you're in a tough situation with this...
