    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I got a pair of all white Sketcher's and they're awesome. Get ones with good cushioning and support. Just make sure they don't have mesh on them, like how running shoes do, so that they're easy to...

    Yes I saw that. Now I'm not sure whether to buy them and find a good tailor so I don't look like a gangster (the XS is falling off my hips, dragging on the ground and the crotch is a good 6 inches...

    Well at least we don't have to wear the uniforms the previous classes had to, lol. Blue ugly shirt with the white collar. Perhaps some of the hospitals require that non-employees not wear scrubs in...

    I called Advance today and apparently there was a "computer glitch" and some of the orders placed on May 10th were never processed. So, if you ordered at orientation and your card has not been charged...

    Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm reading the first few chapters to get a foundation, then will review the ones I know will be important. If I have time, I'll review more. I know it will be short and...

    Hey guys, do we use the same textbook for Anatomy 1 and 2? I still have yet to take the some classes because I couldn't get the Philly tuition rate till now, so I'm taking Anatomy 1 in the second...

    CST is the program they automatically place you in if you indicate you are interested in the nursing program. You'll have to apply for the nursing program when you're ready, and you can do so any and...

    Good luck! There are many paths to the same goal, and I bet being an LPN will really help you to be a better nurse. You can do it

    You can get them at any uniform shop, they're all over. It's a pretty basic color they should all have it. I would opt for cargo, since polos don't have pockets like how scrub tops do, and we're going...

    FYI they just posted the Nursing 2014 group on MyCCP, the one they asked us to join for

    I called the uniform place during office hours and had no trouble getting someone, and no problem cancelling the pants. Be prepared to repeat everything about your order to them, right down to the...

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I've also been experiencing problems with the uniforms. I haven't received anything yet. I also called a couple weeks ago to cancel the scrub pants because they fit horribly and I found a place where...

    Just accepted an offer for a part time clerk position at St. Mary's hospital in Langhorne! Excited :) I looked for months and didn't hear a peep from anyone. One night I asked God to put me where he...

    Bryce, I would say if you need to spice up your resume, volunteer. I wouldn't have the job I have now (which I have to leave soon, by the way) if it wasn't for all of my volunteer experience, which in...

    NightBloomCereus replied to annam83's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I agree but I think the worst part is over - trying to figure out how to get INTO the program. Like calling with a question and being on hold for 20 minutes only to find out they can't answer your...

    Bryce, you know you're going to have to walk around with one eyebrow up, like in the picture, for us all to recognize you

    Manscrubz - Yes, you're making the right decision to keep your job. It will be hard but you can do it. I'll always be taking one class along with nursing, too. I'm quitting my job only because it has...

    I can relate as far as being anxious, but I'm trying not to be too anxious. My dad said nursing school was the hardest two years of his life, and that was AFTER serving in Vietnam! :) We will be...

    I'm taking Nursing 1 and Anatomy 1. You just have to make sure you have Anatomy 1, English Comp 1 and Nutrition done by the fall semester. I wish I could have taken Anatomy earier but I wasn't able to...

    Lol, I looked on FB and you weren't kidding when you said the uniforms were ugly. What's with the collar? Seriously?? Of course looks are the last thing that matters but it's still funny. Congrats on...

    I know, I'm getting antsy, too. They never seem to give us much advance notice for anything, and I'm going to need a couple weeks notice to get off from work for orientation! That's an uplifting story...

    I was looking at Nazareth. I'm applying for a couple administrative jobs there now, as well as to volunteer. I think volunteering where you want to work would be a great way to get to know people who...
