  1. Clerical Assistant - Wasting time?

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

    Although its not direct patient care, it is still a job in a hospital. It's a foot in the door. I don't see it as a waste of time at

  2. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    twss2323 replied to the healer's art's topic in General Students

    I'm not a fan of backpacks in general. In the past, I just carried the small basic jams port (with the big main pocket and small front pocket). However, I am afraid that just won't do it for nursing...

  3. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

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

    Yes! This is a very common occurrence around here. If I didn't get a scholarship to go to University, I would've spent my first two years at CC and then transferred to the University for nursing....

  4. Bad reviews vs NO reviews (ratemyprofessor)

    twss2323 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    twss2323 posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone else feel this way? I'm starting nursing school in the fall and I'm so excited! The thing is... All this excitement is making my summer creep by. Summer has barely started and it seems...

  8. associates degree worth it?

    twss2323 replied to fractal's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Although GCU is a bit pricier because it is a private school, it is not outrageous. They have a Tucson BSN Program and I've heard good things about it... And they have great job placement rates for...

  9. How many people are in your nursing class?

    twss2323 replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

  10. Is it just me?

    twss2323 replied to STLmomma27's topic in General Students

    I'm so excited to start later this month, but I'm also absolutely terrified. I'm terrified of failing out, not being "good" at it, not fitting in to my 20 person cohort, not getting a job after...

  11. Hospital Clinicals

    twss2323 replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

  12. "Back to School" Sales

    twss2323 posted a topic in General Students

    twss2323 replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

  15. didn't start school til age 50

    twss2323 replied to Whit'sBetterHalf's topic in General Students

    I'm only 21, so I can't really speak for myself.. But I can say, through all my pre-reqs, I seeked out the older students to study with. I felt they were more mature, dedicated, and had better study...

  16. Best place to buy a stethoscope?

    twss2323 replied to mmcc26's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I also used medisave. They are an authorized 3M retailer. Tey shipped fast, but my main draw was the free engraving. They offer a 5% discount for liking their Facebook page all the time. However,...

    twss2323 replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

  18. Opinion on your uniforms?

    twss2323 replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Ours are navy tops and bottoms with the schools logo embroidered on the top. It was right at $80 for 2 sets and I thought that was ridiculous.... Until I came on here and saw the prices others have...

    twss2323 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    twss2323 replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I've been a lurker on this thread since it started, so I figured I'd chime in. I'm starting my BSN program in August. Orientation isn't until August and its only 3 hours, so I'm not sure what it all...
