Thank you everybody for your advice so I am going to go the laptop route... Do you guys have any suggestions as to which one to get?

Hi everyone I am going to be starting my pre-nursing recs in the fall and I have a laptop that is 4 years old but I am looking to invest in something newer... My question to you is as future nursing students or if you're nursing students already what do you consider most handy? I like the convenience of a tablet (easy to take anywhere with you) can whip it out anywhere and take some notes if needed ie clinical, class, etc but then again how much storage can you possibly get on there and what about typing papers? Is it a pain? Should I get an iPad or another brand? For laptops I don't even know what the best of the best is any more... What is a good one for a nursing student? Any thoughts?

Hi everyone I was reading past posts regarding Goodwin's nursing program and there hasn't been anything written about Goodwin that was in depth recently or that gave a lot of insight as to how their program has expanded or improved within the past few years. So I have a couple of questions... What was your experience like trying to get into the program? How many times did you have to apply to get in? and how was the NLN A&P test? What did you think about their program? How was your clinical experience? Do you felt that they prepared you for your NCLEX? and do they still have their exit exam and how was that? Also how was it finding a job after you completed their program? Did you go on to get your BSN if so how long did it take you to complete? Do you feel like Goodwin prepared you for the "real world" of nursing? Basically any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am starting there as a pre-nursing student in the fall and would love to have some of my questions addressed before then. My roommate who is a nursing coordinator at a hospital said Goodwin is a good reputable program however some of the community colleges are not and that they are starting to shy away from hiring anyone who isn't perusing their BSN so I intend to do that after I get my ADN degree and I chose Goodwin because they have the RN to BSN program.
