  1. Tattoos

    At work I have never covered them although my scrub top does the job very well. My inner bicep one peaks out a little. In school they must be covered. No exceptions.
  2. Ati proctored fundamentals test

    Ah ATI. A friend and a foe. Read the book that you are given that comes from ATI. That is what I do. I always get Level 2's and 3's.
  3. What is in your clinical bag?

    Stethoscope, pen light, pens, shears, memo pad, pocket reference, calculator, notebook paper, some folders, drug book, Nanda book, coban to cover my tats, hand gel, lotion, lipbalm. Stuff like that.
  4. Why is nursing school "hard?"

    I was told this by a medical doctor: Nursing school is hard because you learn the bulk of what med students learn but in a much shorter time frame. There you go. Once again. That came from a medical doctor.
  5. Trying to decide if it's worth it

    Nursing is not about the money. If you only work to make money then you will most likely find that nursing is not for you. No nurse is paid enough for the amount of skill and work that is required to do their job.
  6. Working during Nursing School

    I graduate from my ADN program in May. I have worked throughout college ( 3 years so far) and at one point I was working two jobs while doing my med surg classes and clinicals. I also commute 90 miles a day to school. I have worked as a nurse tech a...
  7. My mom gave birth to me in front of a whole class of nursing students. She didn't care haha.
  8. The rolling backpack debate

    I use a targus bag. It doesn't roll, but it is very big and well padded. Plus it is a good leg workout.
  9. The rolling backpack debate

    I love ebags=) great site.
  10. Missed the First Lab!

    Missing isn't good. I have been told by nurses and even doctors that when you are in nursing school, you only miss if you are dying or giving birth.
  11. Large dose of reality just received!

    Saddle up!=D
  12. Is a tablet a good investment for nursing school

    I am a notebook/pen guy. I only use computers and such when I really need to. Just something about ink and paper helps me to study better.
  13. Little Brother

    Thank you for sharing!
  14. scared to death!

    I start next week too. I am super excited. I worked hard all year with prereqs to get into the program. I am, however, also worried about the stresses and such. I am getting married this weekend so I will have a lot to do throughout school but it wil...
  15. Guys: what made you want to go into nursing?

    I wanted to work in medicine, but I didn't want to spend 80+ hours a week away from my family. I also wanted direct patient contact. Thus I chose nursing=)
  16. Soooo, I quit

    You sound like a great nurse. Thumbs up for doing what you believed in!
  17. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    I loved this post. I pictured people with emails like sexyboy5999 or bigplayer269. It is not hard to make a quality email account.
  18. Is an Associate's degree a waste of time?

    I am in an ADN program right now and upon graduation, I will find work and then go back for my BSN. I like the ADN route better because you can start work and start making money to help pay for the rest of your school. I also plan on going back for g...
  19. Scrubs, Anyone?

    I think I have to buy a standard set of scrubs for my school. I will find out in next week haha. I like the scrub pants with cargo pockets though so I hope I can wear some of those.
  20. Ages of male nursing students?

    I am 19=) Young blood.
