I'd like to get a Littman. What do you think about the 3M Littman Classic II S.E.? What's a cardiac stethoscope? what's the difference among the different models? Which type would you recommend for a beginner, Your input is greatly appreciated!
Came across this and thought we need a little humor during out frequent breaks from studying......we need MORE breaks than the youngens.....you know what I mean Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. The...
I woke up at 4:30 this morning...I am a nervous wreck because we start the dreaded Unknown project tomorrow. We will be issued broth in a test tube which contains one or two( with my luck I'll get 3) "bugs". We need to streak two plates and incubat...

I don't think that this was a serious post,you find the most bizarre people around the holidays surifng the net, driving around town. and even showing up at the gym ... makes you scratch your head where they suddenly come from.

Thanks so much for your reply. I will definitely get those books I need all the help I can get particularly since I don't have a "Spring chicken" brain anymore. I am starting Fundmentals on August 27th.
My guess is to only wear tan color underwear! No white, print, or lace underwear ?!?! Don't buy cheap scrubs at discount stores since they have thinner material. Mine are size medium and not tight but fit rather loose.
Ooooh, thanks so much for this tip. My hair is touching my shoulders and will be long enough! I will look totally professional . I will start to practice TODAY
I got to figure out how to put up my hair to look professional....I am not very talented when it comes to hair! I know how to put it in a ponytail or stuff it under a baseball cap, but that's about it. Got my uniforms, too. We have to wear ALL whi...
Remember that patients may forever remember what they saw on their nurses rather than what their faces looked like! I remember being in the OR as a patient and the anesthesiologist had this COOL rainforest headcover, or on another occasion another w...
I don't think you can go wrong with a Littman....I am starting NS school and bought a Classic II S.E. which I heard from others will be just fine for NS. ( I told my husband to buy me a more expensive one as a graduation gift)
At my school you can't take A&P2 unless you have passed A&P1 with a C or better. A&P and Micro are very demanding classes and I wouldn't recommend taking them both together, not if your goal is to make A's.
