I'm 33 starting an LPN program, in a few weeks. I have read some students starting in Nursing programs much older than that. Because you are still figuring things out, my suggestion to you is to get your feer wet as either a home attendant or CNA. B...

Hi guys. Was wondering if anyone is getting the nursing central app. Also, did you pick up any nclex review materials?

I'm turning 34. Better late than never as they say.

Actually, you are not guaranteed a spot in the city. They did away with the scholarship that offered the work agreement with HHC.

Hello, Aside from being a CNA, what are descent weekend jobs for a nursing student to hold? I'm looking into home health aide, pct for hospital, pharm tech for hospital, weekend receptionist, babysitting, etc. What are some ways you have earned an in...

Thanks so much for your suggestions. How do you best cope with having so little time? I love downtime. I will miss it. I work home health now. Hoping a good position comes my way.

I like metro uniforms and all heart as well. I also purchased some scrubs from rmf scrubs. I'm still looking for attractive scrubs for plus size petites. I would like to try on a bunch of scrubs from different companies. My current uniform is so unat...

Thanks, just having trouble finding something that works with my schedule. I don't have much time. I'm hoping it works out.

Thank you in advance for your experiences and insights.

If you read through the LPN boards, you'll gain a lot of insight. I personally think that getting a LPN license is a good way to get your feet wet, gain knowledge, and the first hand experience on whether you want to continue on in nursing. Depending...

*Considering (not consistently).

http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/dental-hygienist/Dental-Hygiene-Outlook/t472474 Dentistry and hygiene aren't so great either. Having been an assistant consisting both advancement options, I chose neither. Dentistry is tedious and dull. After much sou...

I'm not sure about study groups yet. Have to see who is in my class. I plan on studying after class till 8 or 9 pm during the week, work and study on weekends for at least 10 hours. It's kind of hard to say because so much is still up in the air. But...

Yes. I got that one.

I know what you mean. My program will be M-F 8am to 4:30pm. I wish I didn't have to work but having no income for 10 months would be impossible. Also, there is no financial aid available being that this is a certificate program. I have to still come ...

Boutiqualuna, I don't think she was talking to anyone in particular, just sharing an opinion based on her experiences.

Aww.. Don't lie. Lol I think if I remember right, trapper keeper was hot in like 6th grade... That was what... 89?

Such good advice. I'm a little intimidated but excited. :) do you guys have plans on.how to transport everything?

Nursing central is a subscription service. It has the latest edition of all the guides. It has extra books. I'm going to hold off on that until school starts and see how instructors feel about electronic resources. Might be useful for clinicals but I...

Neat. Yup. I got the main supplies. I had some money saved. Now I have to get a few more sets of uniforms, and save up for ATI, and get a few school supplies and a descent bag. I think I'm going to use some sort of rolling cart, at East for the firs...

That's good to know. I'm planning on doing home health during school... Probably on weekends.

Oh man you made my day... I got a set today and they are horribly unflattering. Plus, I live for having pockets on my pants. :-)

That's a good idea :-)

I am starting a LPN program in September. I have all of my books and supplies but I'm running into a problem. How will I transport all of these books on the train. I considered getting a rolling book bag and have another small bag on my back and spli...

Do you think a rolling upright luggage? Or maybe like the rolling totes? I saw some that looked like briefcases on wheels. This is a good idea, have to see it in person and check out the capacity.
