  1. Spring 2014 NAU Hopefuls

    twss2323 replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The program was a bit overwhelming at first, but it's great and I absolutely love it. In all honesty, NAU wasn't my first choice, but now that I'm in the program, I'm soooooooo glad I ended up at NAU...

    twss2323 replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in Arizona Nursing

  8. My scrub pants are killing me!

    twss2323 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I have the same problem with things. Also, cuz I'm a bit heavier, the inside of my thighs will rub raw sometimes which is very painful. I always wear cotton spandex shorts under my scrubs. I find...

  9. Spring 2014 NAU Hopefuls

    twss2323 replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure about competitiveness of each location. I did read on this site that Yuma is the least competitive, but I don't actually know. I'm in the Tuscon program, I applied with Tucson as my...

  13. Changes in School Policy after Program has already begun

    twss2323 replied to lane990's topic in General Students

    Although this is annoying, I don't think it's illegal. But per TOS, we're not allowed to offer legal advice, so if you're really concerned about it, perhaps find a local lawyer to discuss it

  14. I Need a Stethoscope

    twss2323 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I have that exact one. I'm starting here in a week. We all have to be so uniform, it's nice to have something to show personality. I got mine at medisave.net. Their prices are comparable to amazon...

  17. Multiple schools for Prereqs

    twss2323 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my prereqs at 3 different schools and it didn't seem to affect me getting into school. I'd say as long as they are transferable and you get good grades in them, you should be

    twss2323 replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. ABSN students with a bad work ethic

    twss2323 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I think a large part of this was a vent (which is fine, that's the beauty of the Internet and this site, it's okay to come on here and vent)... But to answer your original question, I finished...

  20. Care Plans

    twss2323 replied to STLmomma27's topic in General Students

    I'm also nervous about writing care plans. They seem so involved and so time consuming. I've never heard one person say "care pans aren't that bad" let alone someone saying they actually like care...

  21. Job interview help, nursing assistant position

    twss2323 replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    The previous advice is all good advice. Also, to help prepare maybe have a friend or someone hold a mock interview. That way you get practice with answering questions on the spot. Even better, a...

  23. Unbinding books?

    twss2323 replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

    You can find many books already in a loose leaf version, if you're really dead set on that, perhaps try looking for loose leaf versions in the future. That way they aren't altered and the resale...

    twss2323 replied to MsKris_CarolinaGirl's topic in General Students

    I'm really trying to decide what to wear. When I emailed my program coordinator to ask, she said "normal clothes"... That does me no help. Normal clothes for me are comfy shorts or sweats and a...

  25. Who has volunteered?

    twss2323 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I volunteered, I had to send the volunteer coordinator an email expressing my interest. She then gave me a long questionnaire to fill out, like pre-interview questions. From there, some people...
