Tomorrow is our orintation day, and then on Wed, we are going to have a savanger hunt. Still nervous though, so everyone please wish me luck.

Thank you for those encouraging words of thought. I was beginning to think that no one wanted to respond to this post.:chuckle Tell you wife good luck for me as well. My program is 22 months and I have about 20 more to go..

This is my first semester of school, and I just found out that my first clinical will be on the oncology floor in our hospital. I am a bit worried and excited at the same time. Only excited on the fact that when I get done with school I would like to go and work in our childrens hospital. Any suggestions for a student who is completely new to the nursing profession as it is, and having their first clinical in oncology. Guess I was kinda surprised that they would put us there so soon. I am very scared :chair:

I didn't like the IUD, for me anyways. As it caused me to have a cervical infection and it was painful during sex, the cervical infection then ended up leading me to drop out of school and having to quit my job, since no one could figure out what was wrong . I can't use the pill since it makes me sick, Norplant wasn't a good way to go either and since Depo has the same side effects as Norplant, that left me with an IUD. For some people they work great for and their bodies can handle it, if it is something you feel comfortable with, then by all means go with it. Just pay attention to the signs. I ended up dealing with mine for over a year. I wish you luck on whatever choice you decide is best for you.

I thank everyone for all the information. Our class is very excited about having a capping ceremony. Out of 30 students only 3 didn't want one. The capping ceremony will happen in May of 2005 and our pinning ceremony will happen in May of 2006. The main reason for the capping ceremony is the symbolic measure, but we also like the fact that we do get to set the percedent for years to come. Granted I may be in an era where we don't wear the caps anymore, but I enjoy the past history of the capping ceremony and can't wait until we do. I want our capping ceremony and our pinning ceremony to WOW people. I am proud of our small town area being able to have their own nursing program and want to make it as memorable for the school and for the community. :) I got some information from Kay's Caps already and the one we were looking at wasn't a bad price. They seem to respond to e-mails in a timely manner and that is one thing I like. One of my my biggest pet peeves is when someone doesn't respond to e-mail or doesn't call you back. To me that is a sign of poor business and usually stay away. Kay's Caps have been wonderful so far and seem to want to help. Anyway, after all my babbling on, I just want to say Thanx everyone :)

The capping ceremony is also a symbolic measure of being half way through the program. For the guys, we are getting a real nice ballcap. Eventhough, you don't use caps anymore, it is more for the symbolic measure. Plus, this is the schools first nursing program and our class wants to have that special moment in their lives.

The screenname I use is Timora. The name means lady of luck and goddess of smiles. :)

Thank you so much for the information. :)

Hi, the school I am attending is planning to do a capping ceremony at our 1 year mark and I am trying to find out some information about it. This will be our school's first capping ceremony and first Nursing class, so I would like to WOW everyone who attends and make it worth their while. What are some good things to have at the ceremony? Where are some places that you can buy the hats at? Should their be speakers, singers, and pictures? I have never attended a capping ceremony, so therefore, I am looking for some insightful things to do. I am class treasure and trying to make a budget of what it is going to cost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
