    ThirdGen posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi all, I'm female, about 6'1" barefoot, and want to find the lowest platform/heel nursing student shoes possible. I also have a high arch and do need support. Can anyone recommend a specific (white)...

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I ordered the Birkenstock Linz Super Grip, but when they arrived in the mail, the toe box was very wide, and they didn't fit me very well. But, I tried on a pair...

    Ok - so it looks like the Birkenstock Alpro G500 SGs are discontinued. BUT I just ordered the new generation shoe: the Birkenstock Linz Super Grip in white leather. They have the cork footbed, arch...

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi jax4224, If I find a great shoe first, I'll let you know. It is frustrating to find shoes that fit properly, right? I just ordered Barco scrubs, btw, with a large top and large tall bottoms. I've...

  8. What is a Calling to be a nurse?

    ThirdGen replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

  9. Starting a family during nursing school or after?

    ThirdGen replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I think that deep down, we can *usually* ballpark our own limitations and abilities. I married a wonderful man with his own son and was a supportive, active stepmom in that very troubled child's life...

    ThirdGen replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, I wanted to say how very fortunate I was to have the privilege to dissect/learn from human cadavers. The learning experience was absolutely invaluable, and I am very thankful. Good luck with...

  12. worried about dissection

    ThirdGen replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi veggienursenyc, I, too, was worried about this when I was just starting Human Anatomy, except our cadavers were human, and there were three of them. What I did was ask the professor if a lab...

  15. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi Caligirl7, Yes, but I just found out yesterday, so it's *very* fresh news! I would be attending today's orientation, but I volunteer for hospice and always visit my newest patient on Friday...

  16. I'm so old!

    ThirdGen replied to Laraine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    ThirdGen replied to curlypearly's topic in California Nursing

    Hi all, I haven't applied to Chico's nursing program, but wanted to chime in because I lived there for most of my life. :) I also got my BA there, and I really miss all the trees, Bidwell Park, the...

    ThirdGen replied to meib92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to you, meib92! Such a huge accomplishment, and a gigantic step toward your goal! :) I have no idea if anyone ever declines at our first school of choice, but if someone does, I'll see you...

  22. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey all, I emailed a nice lady with the SSU nursing office and she said they're still reviewing applications. I think your earlier estimate of us hearing back by mid-April is right. It seems so far...

  23. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey caligirl7! Congrats on getting acceptance from one of your schools. :) That is great news! Although we hear back soon from SSU, SRJC doesn't notify until June. That means if I don't get into SSU,...

    ThirdGen replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Well, I'm taking stats right now; it's my last prerequisite for nursing school and I'm waiting to hear back from nursing schools right now. I've never been great at math, but not terrible either, and...
