    Shoes for Nursing School

    rubato replied to chelauren's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just bought Danskos and I love them! I haven't started clinicals yet, but I've been walking around the house in them all day. They take some getting used to, but I am thrilled so

    How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    rubato replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    I'm nervous too. I think it's perfectly normal. It helped a lot when I went to my orientation and got a tour of the buildings and the labs. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. Everyone else in...

    Prerequisites grades

    rubato replied to justgivemeastage's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It just really depends on the school you're applying too. At my school, we had people put on the wait list with 4.0s. Just ridiculously competitive. But, other schools don't seem to be this hard. I...

    What size are your Danskos?

    rubato replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a 40 and I usually wear a 9.5. They fit beautifully. I've been walking around in them at home to make sure (bought them

    I'm done! I'm out!

    rubato replied to white8tiger6's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you don't hate being a CNA, you just hate the people you work with. Why would you quit your future for one group of jerks? Can you try to find another CNA job before you completely quit...

    Has anyone else taken College Chemistry wothout HS chem?

    rubato replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an A in college chem last summer. I failed high school chem in 1986. Don't worry about it. What others do in the class doesn't have to be what you

    Do you wear rings?

    rubato replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    I'm wearing my whole ring. It's connected anyway, but our clinical instructor said we could. I was also broken into at home once and lost everything we had, car, electronics and all my jewelry...

    rubato replied to FutureRNBets's topic in General Nursing

    I went to orientation yesterday. Apparently, you can be taking Chem and algebra during application. So, if you want to take them in the spring, you can still apply by January 15th (if that's still the...

    Orientation day!

    rubato replied to charitynaf's topic in General Students

    Kind of overwhelming. They threw so much at us so quickly. But, I have the block schedule, so I can plan for the next 6 months. We don't get our book list for 2 more weeks. The really nice thing is...

    I'm Going to Scream!

    rubato replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    You aren't old, he's a jerk. I am old and can use that excuse. You can't until you're at leads 35! People are just so self absorbed now that either have no clue that their actions affect others or...

    Well, so much for not having any questions. I think I asked close to 100 throughout the day. I feel so prepared now though. And

    Do you have a PASSION for nursing?

    rubato replied to MA_Davis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the reason people were so vehemently defending that stance on that thread was because you were so vehemently defending your stance that if someone hates their job, they are going to give...

    Do you have a lot of Debt to pay off

    rubato replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I will have no debt. I paid out of pocket for my first 3 semesters of pre reqs and have an honors scholarship to pay for nursing school. I will then get a job and get tuition reimbursement for my BSN...

    maybe i'm not cut out for nursing :(

    rubato replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really is so much worse when it's someone you love. Really. I can actually handle all my son's injuries, and he's had a ton. But, when my hubby had surgery on his foot and it had packing in it, he...

    rubato replied to Krista1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I was planning on signing the waiver and letting them know that I'd started the series. I am not going to call because it's only 2 days until my orientation. I can find out then.

    JCCC admissions

    rubato replied to FutureRNBets's topic in General Nursing

    CNA, Chemistry and Intermediate Algebra have to be done before application, I believe. But, you'd better have a ton of other classes done before you start. I have taken CNA, Chem, algebra, comp 1,...

    A rolling suitcase....really???

    rubato replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    I may have to recant my earlier opinion and give in to the rolling bag. I was at school Thursday and threw my back out toting around my books and my backpack. And, I'm not even fully in to the NS...

    Cross Roads

    rubato replied to ph0618's topic in General Students

    It's really hard to give you advice because each person is different. I'm going to nursing school at 42. Why? Because when I was 19, I enlisted in the Navy but met the man of my dreams the night after...
