  6. Binders!

    It really depends on your classes. I would get either one for each class or a monster sized one (3-4 inches). i have 3 classes for the summer, one 3 inch binder is full, one is about half full and...
  7. I say don't do it. I agree with the posters who say find a specialty that may be considered less demanding. Find a job with M-F hours in a small clinic or private office. Go back to school and put...
  8. First day of my REAL Nursing classes..scared ):

  10. What color is your uniform?

    Royal Blue pants and tops with a white lab jacket. All Landau, the scrub top is a bit shapeless, but it has lots of pockets :) and they gave us 3 options for pants, which allowed me to find a style...

  13. Informatics? What's that?

    Also, my college had a list of courses and course descriptions on the school website. If you search there, you may be able to find a course description that is specific to your class. I'm checking out...
  14. Informatics? What's that?

    What on earth is informatics. I just registered for my first semester of nursing school and am super excited! One of the classes for my program is informatics. I've googled the definition of the...
  15. Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    If it were that easy, I'm sure the professor would have figured out who was causing the problem and only penalize this one person. Unfortunately for the OP, it isn't that simple. the poster didn't...
  16. Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    I don't necessarily agree with this, and I hate to say that I agree with your instructor, but on some level, I do. If it is simply a matter of improper citation, then you instructor has not matched...
  17. Direct entry programs

    Good luck to you! I recently got in to a direct-entry master's program in TN, and agree with dedicatedone, some schools look at you in a really holistic manner. This, however, is not always the...
