  1. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    priorities2 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    Ha. I just find the concept of a $300 watch funny. Maybe I'm naive, but I start NS in September and just ordered a watch from Amazon for $2.99. It's cute enough and reviews state that it functions. I...

  2. Circumcision

    priorities2 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    I think it's quite exaggerated to say that she will eliminate herself from the job market. The vast majority of nursing positions don't require the nurse to assist with circumcisions. To go into...

  3. Clinicals and religious observances?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    To clarify - I'm not a very religious person, however, if I were religious (i.e., if I abided by the commandments) I would take off on Rosh Hashanah. I usually stay home and fast on Rosh Hashanah, but...

  4. Clinicals and religious observances?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Alright. Thanks guys. Yes, according to the laws, saving lives comes WAY before observing a high holiday, but as a student I don't know if I technically fit that criteria (maybe.. but it's probably a...

    priorities2 replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

  6. tattoos/piercings

    priorities2 replied to Swellz's topic in General Nursing

    My micro teacher had really strong opinions about things, so take this with a grain of salt, but I learned from her that piercings are very bad in a hospital setting because each time you remove it...

  8. What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

    priorities2 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    I really like to use an old-fashioned paper planner. I find that I'm less likely to write down a date wrong then I am to click a wrong button or hit the wrong date on something electronic. My school...

  9. Just want to vent. Starting to get really discouraged :(

    priorities2 replied to vc01ca's topic in General Students

  11. How do you keep your shoes white?!

    My school suggests that we get a specific pair of shoes to only use for nursing clinicals. Not wearing them outside, elsewhere, etc would help a lot in reducing any

    priorities2 replied to cmariehill's topic in General Students

    Congrats on getting in =) My school provides lockers for us in the NS which is connected to the hospital. I assume others schools also provide lockers so you don't need to schlep things back and...

  16. Question about applying to nursing programs

    priorities2 replied to sesiliachan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ Agreed. At my school, you needed to have 4 of the 7 prerequisites done by the application deadline, and you needed the rest done by a later deadline. At a different school I considered applying to,...

  17. Question about applying to nursing programs

    priorities2 replied to sesiliachan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. New nursing student, career choice questions

    priorities2 replied to qtran429's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, maybe you can work part-time as an RN after your BSN and take a couple of the medical school pre-reqs at a time. You will need to take Chem 1+2, OChem 1+2, Physics 1+2, and two semesters of...

  20. Another one, or two, bite the dust!!!

    priorities2 replied to clandestine-approach's topic in General Students

    Hehe. This post screams of "gloating". I was just talking to my boyfriend about gloating yesterday. I do have a tendency to revel in other's failures when I succeed at something (e.g., getting into a...
