Ugh! When I see the topic of this type of post, I cross my fingers and hope the OP is at least older than me...alas. Another young one worried about being too old. This thought has NEVER crossed my mind (and I'll be turning 38 when I graduate). ...

My son was in the PICU off and on for months during cancer treatments and almost exclusively for the month prior to his death. It was never a question of if I would be welcome in the room. Thankfully this wasn't an issue with the hospital my son wa...

My first day of clinical we did patient care stuff like baths, bed changes, vs, etc. We also sort of tagged onto a CNA and assisted them (passing out food trays, feeding, that kind of stuff). Have fun!

I started with my first semester of my ADN program when my little munchkin was 7 months old. She just turned one and I'm in the second semester. She is my only little one at home. That being said, I am glad I didn't wait any longer. When they a...

Ebooks!!! I love them HOWEVER I am not a fan of the kindle platform. I love my kindle for reading novels, etc, but it's just not terribly functional IMO for a textbook. I bought, through the bookstore, an ebook bundle that was through pageburst ...

I love PERRLA software for all those APA papers!!! It made my life so much easier!!! They have a demo video on their site and a free 30 day trial. I tried it for one paper and was hooked. I didn't have a separate planner because I keep everyth...

I'm 37. Will be 38 when I graduate. Age means nothing. I feel lucky I have so much perspective and focus. I'm not sure I would have straight out of high school. So happy birthday!!!! And be proud that you've started the journey now. :-)

Buy! But I'm all for ebooks. So I'd say get the ebook version if you can. I love them.

.....

I guess I should also add that I'm super happy and feel very lucky I am not working. Between the 10 month old and school, I'm wiped. I couldn't imagine having to work as well. Good luck!!

I quit my job as well and we're doing it on one income. It's tough!! But we almost never eat out, never buy anything spur of the moment, plan meals for a week or two at a time, and have made a budget and stick to it religiously. The hardest part...

Love, love, love my iPad for my books and online content/learning. I was super excited to use it for notes in class...I got one note, Notabillity, a fancy keyboard, etc all with the intention of using it for taking notes in class. But it didn't rea...

Hi everybody! I just had to say a quick hi! I'm in my first semester of the program at CSN (full time RN track) and it's been really awesome so far. I've hardly been back to all nurses since classes started and ran across your thread and it broug...

I would wait to hear from your school as everyone is so remarkably different between schools. For instance, my school only accepts CPR from the American Heart Assn (not from the Red Cross) so I would hate for you to waste your time and money on the ...

I got mine too! There is a 10% discount off the full bundle only (books and ebooks) at the bookstore right now. Made the whole thing $680 or so. Dang that box is heavy!! :-)

Dang! I called them yesterday and they said August again. Grr! I'll head down tomorrow.

I called today too and got "call back in August". Thanks. So helpful. :-/

I would ask someone at the school (advisor for the program perhaps?). I'm sure they've heard this question a million times and will have a very clear answer.

welcome Susan!!

Here's what I wrote down: may 9--between 9-5 room K-108 (will get packet with more info) Three orientations: May 20 August 5 August 22

just got my call! I'm in!! Now I can stop freaking out. :) woooo!

practicing my zen breathing....I'm 29 pts too. I'm sure we're in, I just wish they could have done a mass text or something instead of this call one at a time business. :)

My guess is alphabetical (If I can guess some last names by some of ya'll's usernames). My last name starts with O, so if they are, I'm in the middle.
