Student: no you can't wear your hair down in the OR regardless of how much prettier it is and good luck getting that job on Greys Anatomy after graduation....

All Muslim students in my program have been allowed to wear what their religion deems appropriate without issue.

You'll get varied opinions on this one. Some people felt pre health was a waste of their time and some people loved it. I took pre health as an adult going back to school with a family. I needed to upgrade and I wanted to make sure I could handle a c...

I'm in school full time, work, married, 3 kids with extra curricular activities and still manage dinner with friends or weekend outings. It's time management! I can't let any one thing consume me and while there are days I feel the crunch I still hav...

kp1987 you must be in Canada! I looked into one and when I say the shipping was almost as much as the planner I decided to go with something else haha!

Thank god!! Our instructors have been scaring us with what may be a lot of misinformation.

^ this is what worries me!! I am currently in a nursing program filled with fluff and will be the first graduating class to write the NCLEX. I fear that my class is not being adequately prepared for what our exams will cover in the end.

Congrats!! Hope the interview goes well!

We had a few last semester that we're excited for their upcoming 18th birthdays.... Boy did that make me feel old haha!

I could have written your post!! No real advice, just thought I'd respond with "you're not alone"!!!

I have my med surg clinical orientation sept 3 and 4, then I start classes again the following day. I've been taking summer courses to lighten my load for the fall and winter semester this year so I've kept busy. I am eager to get back to a more full...

We had mandatory electives (psych I and psych II) and then we also have a choice for two electives. We can take anything from gothic literature to language courses. We also have "nursing electives" that we have to take and can choose from things like...

^ wow great advice!! I'm book marking this for later!! Good luck on your interview :)

I used the classic for first year and had zero issues with it, it was a good stethoscope. Unfortunately my cat made lunch of the tubing over summer break, which gives me a reason to get the cardiology III.

Tb is transmitted through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes and someone without immunity inhales the droplets. The body mounts an immune response and the macrophages that ingest the bacilli fuse and inside the lesion is caseous necro...

I sent you a pm with my experience but then I looks and saw it was your first post so you can't respond (duh). If you have any questions let me know and I'll be happy to try and answer them.

I'm with you!! School, work, kids... I'm asking for a life for Christmas!!

Most programs have a registration date and various schedule options based on the number in your cohort. For example last semester we had a choice between schedules A through H. Some classes were similar and some were different, it also depends on yo...

I'm also working in a restaurant while doing my bscn and I actually intend to stay there for awhile instead of finding a job in the medical field. My reasons are tips and a brain break!! Nursing school consumes most of my time so it's nice for me to ...

I jut finished patho I and have started patho II. The first part was difficult for me and I'm not sure if it was because I'm taking the condensed course (6 weeks instead of 14 weeks) or if its because previously we were tested on specific knowledge a...

We have unisex navy pants and tops with our school patch on them. Not flattering but could definitely be worse!!!

^ seems a little harsh! I think that a support system is a support system regardless of wether its a spouse or a parent. Nursing school can be a daunting thing, especially for someone young. I think if you want a parent there then by all means take o...

The crock pot is a life saver in my house. We also do out homework together at the table after dinner. Sundays is a no study day in my house (minus the week before exams or tests) and we spend that day as a family. I use my evenings to study when the...

Yogurt with berries and granola and I stir in protein powder to make it more filling

I always wear long sleeves to a new clinical site and ask the staff what their policies are. So far I haven't had any problems with my tattoos and am allowed to have them visible. I do keep a tattoo sleeve in my bag in case I need it but I don't have...
