   thimble replied to laurynq16's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I bought a $20 blood pressure cuff off of Amazon and it works perfectly fine. No need to splurge there. as far as scrubs go, if you've never worn them I'd try them on first. I wear a size medium for tops but in scrubs I'm a small. I'm 5'6 and the sm...

   Just wanted to add! I know the handbook says you'll need peds diaphragm but you can hold off on that for now. You won't be doing peds until your second semester.

   Congrats everyone! I'm preparing to finish my first semester of nursing school at JJC and may be able to answer some of your questions! As far as stethoscopes go, I highly recommend purchasing a fairly decent one right off the bat. I know several gi...

   I finally finished all my paperwork, shots, tests, etc. and I've almost finished buying all my gear. I had a question about shoes, maybe someone here can help me. Would these be acceptable? The Dansko White Blue Smooth Leather from the Elise collect...

   YES! I was the third person in my group to order scrubs (thankfully) but it took about 20+ minutes to get through the two people in front of me. They were so unorganized and unprepared, I couldn't believe it. It was definitely a lot of information. I...

   Soma is a controlled substance too. At the place I work, we do oral fluid panels that DO test for Soma. I would bring a list of all your medications, just in case. Better safe than sorry.

   where'd you find out what books we need? I tried looking under the search/register section and the books said "TBD" Does anyone know if we should bring anyone with us for the workshop? This is kind of embarrassing but my mom is interested in going. M...

   They're so worth the price. They're the best scrubs I've owned! I wash them and hang to dry and haven't noticed any shrinkage or fading!

    I took my TEAS test the other day and received a 71.3% composite and a 76.2% in reading. I'm surprised at how poorly I did on the reading portion as reading (and English) are usually my strongest subjects. It's unlikely I'll be getting into the progr...
