    Pierced ears; need advice

    NICUmiiki replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

    At my school the guys and girls have the same jewelry guidelines. Only one stud per ear and no more than one ring per hand. It doesn't matter if you are male or female. Now making a good impression...

    Undergrad looking into Accelerated Nursing Programs

    NICUmiiki replied to o.sayed93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't seem like you finished an undergraduate degree yet. That will really limit your choices for accelerated BSN programs because most of them require you to have graduated

    Kno vs VitalSource E-book

    NICUmiiki replied to ltran's topic in General Students

    I've heard that Kno only rents the books for a certain period of time, and you don't get to keep them forever. I could be wrong, but it is something to look in to. I use Vital Source and I have been...

    Best alarm clock tone for an iphone?

    NICUmiiki replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Best alarm clock tone for an iphone?

    NICUmiiki replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    The default sound "Alarm" tends to disturb me the most, so I always choose it. Remember to turn the volume up! I only use my phone to wake me

    NICUmiiki replied to vicky82's topic in General Students

    On top of being approved by the BON, schools that are ACEN (formerly NLNAC) or CCNE accredited will offer you the best prospects after graduation. Many graduate schools and places of employment will...
