    It has been done before! You do have classes during your first summer - mental health for 6 weeks. For us we didn't have a choice initially which session we took, but they did make allowances for special circumstances. You'll have to figure out what ...

    Well personally pedi/OB has always been my passion, more OB than pedi, but I've always wanted to do trauma as well (there's time to do both in life, right?! LOL) So I really enjoyed the CareFlite thing today. That was my dream job when I first starte...

    Um, someone ACED the first exam?! I thought I did before I hit "submit" LOL but was happy with my 88 on that one considering I studied for all of an hour. This time I spent about 15min going over the pertinent info and made it out with an 86. It's no...

    Ready for that test for sure!! And don't forget the mod that is due over spring break! I think I'm going to do it early so I don't forget and can actually enjoy the break. :-)

    Just a note for y'all future nurses :-) I got in with 3-A's and 1-C. My GPA for sciences was a 3.5 and I made a 95.5% on the HESI and completed all my basics. A "B" won't kill your chances entirely! :-) But TXHusker is dead on - we're all very compet...

    I bought the Fundamentals for Success workbook as well. Not much of a notecard person though. LOVING the fact that I can upload the PP's to the iPad on Kindle!!

    Something I've heard twice over the last two days that really resonated with me was, "Don't kill yourself trying to read ALL of the chapters and take notes while you're reading. You'll never be able to keep up that way." Cover the grey boxes and what...

    I LOVE our theory/clinical instructor!! Today was great, just easing in (except for DA and hygiene of course). Actually enjoying the DA homework!! LOL Tomorrow is theory so I'm anxious to get that rolling. I showed up at 6:15am and got a prime parkin...

    Last night I had a nightmare that I was late for the first day of class. Then when I woke up and saw the sun I had to quickly make sure it wasn't Tuesday! LOL I'm so excited I'll probably have a very difficult time sleeping tonight. :-)

    So today I went to HPB over by Ridgmar Mall and was able to purchase our pharmacology book brand new with the disc for $7.98!! Granted it's 5th not 6th edition, but the 6th ed is $91 at the bookstore so I'm pretty happy with that purchase. LOL I also...
  13. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    Well they DO look like elf / dance shoes and I thought it was funny. :-) No offense taken txhusker!! LOL
  15. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    So these are the shoes I got for clinicals (after I cleared it at CPR training): Nike Women's Shox Classic II Running Shoe | FinishLine.com | White/Silver And these lovely gems I purchased for when we have to go do our patient prep. :-) I wasn't su...
  16. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    They are SUPER nitpicky too - just ask Student!! :-//
  17. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    Yes main for parking pass. :-) I went with the Nike Shox Classics that I posted about. They were on sale for $99.99 and my only complaint was I had to go up a size but they fit wonderfully!! Then I bought a gorgeous pair of calf leather flats that I ...

    Finally found shoes after an all-out search for the last two days. So relieved. LOL I used ziploc baggies to sort of organize my skills kit so hopefully it'll make things easier to find. Does anyone know if the bookstore is open Monday?
  19. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    I'm hoping to get my shoes tonight (just getting back from OK) and I ordered all my books from Amazon last night. I downloaded Kindle for iPad and the purchased the e-text of Fundamentals and Swearingen's. It's not shabby! I also got a great bag for ...
  20. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    I bought one at Scrubs, Etc today. And a lab coat, bag, and about a million other things. Still no shoes! :-/
  21. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    I am, but mainly because I want to use it at home. I've seen some for $15.
  22. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    Happy happy dance!! Buying the rest of the books and supplies today!! LOL Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and see y'all Tuesday!! :-)
  23. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    It's the same. Had to edit my last post with updated info. :-) Once again hoping that FA is in the bank tomorrow!! Gah!!
  24. Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

    It says they are $66 at the bookstore; do you think they would be cheaper if we purchased them online through Elsevier? Edit: I just looked online and they're $66 there too, so it won't matter where we purchase them. Here is the description: https://...

    I'm going to *assume* that these will be professor-specific and that's why I haven't received one. I know she's not one of my instructors so I'll wait and see if they send anything. :-)
