    Lol, I got a Taber's at goodwill too. Whether I need it or not, it was well worth the three dollars invested. My course textbooks may not show up in time, which could create an interesting...

    Not yet, same here as I thought it may have been here by now. Its NBD because we can basically do everything but register for classes or use financial aid to buy books, but having the "official...

  8. Marriage and Nursing School

    Euphonicus replied to bdedwards's topic in Male Nursing Students

    How "on board" is your wife with your pursuit of a nursing career? Has she had a realistic sense of what it would entail from day 1, and if so has she been supportive? If she is truly aware of the...

    Spring class schedules are up on Lighthouse! Looks like our schedule will be Monday/Wednesday 8-3 with an hour break, Tuesday 8-12 for the first half, and the same for Monday during the second half,...

    I am taking it now, but what I can say is that is there are only 2 proctored exams, midterm and final. All other assignments and quizzes can be done anywhere. My wife and I like to travel as well;...

    I am going to get mine next month, my last day at work is 11/25 and there's no sense in burning leave hours before then. Apparently the cert. I have is kinda bottom of the barrel as far as pros go...

    My Cardiology II came in the mail today, it's in great shape considering it's around 15-20 years old. I wonder what that is in "stethoscope years"? I was expecting to have to replace some of the...

    I don't officially start until January. I saw one guy when I went for my background check, so I'm looking at at least

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I thought about the potential of this happening to me as well. The only advantage I can think of here is for those of us who still have coreqs to complete (A&P II and MB for me) so we don't have...

    I am probably going to pick up a used Saunders review book, both to have a "real" book and for the added bonus of 2 different

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I prefer "real" books for the same reason but the convenience of having access whenever you have your phone is what turned me in that direction. Being able to get in a few minutes of review here and...

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Another plus for stethoscope covers is that lipids from skin cause a chemical reaction in PVC tubing that causes it to stiffen or crack over time. If you wear it on your neck, the cover should...

    Good to know steth color isn't an issue. 25 is awesome with CD! Best I saw online was 37. I've heard the same thing about theft, apparently quality stethoscopes are a hot commodity for itchy...

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not sure on color, mine is gray so I hope it's allowed (bought it used so not like I can exchange it). I probably wouldn't show up with a crazy rainbow colored chestpiece but I would think normal...

    No problem at all! A sane amount of overpreparation is not silly at all, especially when even the simple stuff has the potential to drop you from the course. Besides, the practical skills are things...
