I'm in my first semester, so I can't speak for other semesters, but... Nursing school is like nothing I've EVER experienced before. I'm over a month in and still looking for that "balance" they tell you to find!

I start in August... I'd really like to lose about 20 pounds this summer and get a bit more cardiovascular-ly fit before school starts! Anyone else in my boat and want an accountability partner? :)

I'm so sad to need to remove my rings for clinicals- but I don't want them damaged nor do I want to risk exposure to nastiness by my stone ripping my glove! Currently, my engagement ring is an asscher cut diamond flanked by two square cut sapphires a...

3.66 Science GPA, 3.7 Cumulative GPA... 86 on the TEAS (96% adjusted)... Good luck!

I am! And I'm just curious if ill be meeting any of y'all in my upcoming classes :)

My hubby is a plumber, but is interested in pursuing a history cert to teacher in high school or maybe community college!

Yeah, it's for the fall semester. I feel like we're so behind! I have read here on AN that lots of people have already had their orientations!

Our application deadline was June 1... Supposedly letters go out 3-4 weeks from then. I'm on pins and needles. Even knowing it's too early, I obsessively check my school email/student info status and pretty much am stalking our poor mailman. LOL! Arg...

I feel good about my chances, but I want that piece of paper confirming it! And unfortunately, I am NOT a patient person. Good luck to you!

Joannie, my total was 212. How 'bout you? Have you heard anything yet? I'm so anxious!

The deadline for apps at the program I applied to was June 1... I'm in the waiting game now. Eek!!!!!

I'm actually at the midpoint in my journey to be an RN-/ I'm through with pre-reqs and will be starting nursing school in the fall. (Of course then im planning to do an RN-MSN program to NP immediately after!) As I live in the Deep South, Christianit...

Ours are white pants and white top with a burgundy trim. Blah! Would much prefer black!!

Do you actually use the scanning and copying features of the printer? I have heard that I'll need a laser printer because I'll be doing a LOT of printing, but is scanning/copying a necessity, too? TIA!

I'm curious if as a nurse I'll still be able to wear my engagement and wedding bands? I start nursing school this fall... Hubby was going to replace my wedding band for our 10th anniversary, but I'm not even sure if I can wear them? My engagement rin...

This Is my ultimate goal... I'm just starting nursing school. I was hoping to find a program I could complete largely online, but I'm not seeing one this specific. Instead, I see pediatrics, mental health, etc. Can someone give me a heads up on where...

Although I haven't been given our book list yet, I managed to find last year's start list and I looked up the prices for new/used/bookstore and it looks like I can save about $500 off of the "new" cost (Haven't checked the school's bookstore yet, but...

Hi y'all! I'll be a 2015 graduate, too. I'm not "official" yet, but according to my the head of the nursing program my points on their scale are a sure thing (I was told that their cut off is between 175 and 185 on their scale of 250... I finished my...

I'm grateful for this thread, too! I start this fall and am really curious about what shoes to get. I have weak ankles and unfortunately they roll often. I see that a PP has mentioned the Timberlands causing her some ankle issues. I love New Balance ...

Not that I'm aware of! I was on Paxil (which I loved), but as hubby and I could potentially have another child (no medical sterilization) the doctor switched me to lexipro as a precaution. Which is good, because my son was a sneaky sperm. Haha!

Ashley, I take the lexipro daily and the seroquel when I need help sleeping. :) Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my wording!
