Hello, I was recently accepted into Loewenberg school for nursing. I just wanted to start a board for anyone that has any advice or tips on surviving nursing at the UofM and possibly just start communicating with one another as nursing students of th...

Hello future nursing students, I have currently finished majority of my per-req courses such as, anatomy & physiology 1 which I made a B in and anatomy2 I managed to pull an A. I have not taken microbiology as of yet, but it will be taken in Ju...

Sounds like a plan to me! Any advice on where to park? Our class is in the Arts & Comm bldg and the library, I do not have a clue of where it is located, but I will find it.

Cool!! A girl from my table won the same item. I thought that was you. I didn't get a good look at your face because I was sitting at the first table to the far left, just directly in front of the podium. And no, I have checked my Ecourseware several...

Yes!!! That was a lot of information to take in all at once. I was in group 1, what group where you in? Oh, and I had won a hoodie from NSA.

@kywoodrd: And that was it for me as far as supplies go! In spongebob voice " I am ready, I am ready!".

@kywoodrd: That is great news!! I knew they wasn't going to play around about your uniforms, and I did find some shoes,now let's see if they survive first semester clinical! I can't wait until school starts, but then nervous as well!! See you at orie...

@kywoodrd: I am currently still on the, perfect nursing shoe hunt, lol. I have not been to Payless as of yet, but I will let you know what I get. I went to Woflchase Mall and I was very disappointed in there selection of shoes and shoe stores, so off...

Awesome, I will check them out today or tomorrow.

@kywoodrd Nope, I'm going this weekend to search for them. I was just going to buy something comfortable. Have you priced or seen anything fitting the criteria that is required?

@kywoodrd Nothing fancy, something comfortable since we have to be there all day and I will bring a small drawstring bag with basic needs to take notes and snacks. Oh, and are you signing up with SNA at orentation? I am, for the support system and th...

OMG, I apologize that had to happen to you! I am glad that I was able to tell you my experience with identity factor, but yes I am ready, excited & anxious for orientation and if not lol I have no other choice but to become ready!

@NursenNikiB. You are more than welcome! @kywoodrd. I just picked up my nursing scrubs and they did an awesome job, I am very pleased.

@kywoordrd Identity factor called me today about my uniforms and they are ready!!! I will try to get them today but most definitely tomorrow.

@kywoodrd Identity factor and you?

@kywoodrd I did not ask, I saw a sign in the store by the cash register that said 3-4 days & not 3-4 weeks. It didn't register to ask, dumb me! @ SherlyLT keep pushing and ALWAYS think positive because you never know what is about to become!

@SherylLT That is great! I have my fingers crossed for you, it is such a nail biting wait until you get the letter!!

Good luck on your journey to becoming a nurse and you are more than welcome!

@prettydoll123 My gpa 3.25 cumlative; science 3.72 Teas score 73. Hope that helps!

The target on Germantown pkwy. Have you finished your list so far? And are they finished with your uniforms?

@kywoodrd I found the calculator that is needed at target just a little under five bucks, now off to finish buying pencils, paper, binders and most importantly flash cards!

I was just going to look for it at Walmart, best buy or eBay. I will let you know where I find it or vice verse. That is ashame that the school bookstore don't even have it. On Monday I'am going back up there to get basic school supplies, the list is...

@kywoodrd Kool!! Hopefully we have the same classes together, it won't be long before school begins.

I did buy my books earlier this week and it was roughly around $950 but I still have to go back and purchase this code for three years, which is about $134 if I am not mistaken which will shoot it up to about $1000. Tomorrow I was going to buy my scr...

You shouldn't have a problem getting accepted with that GPA, its just you will be there longer than the nursing program length. That's why I went ahead and finished because I know I am going to want the time off during summer break. Don't quote me bu...
