  1. BRCC NURSING 2016

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh and supplies are a different story. I paid $80 for my scope alone but it's all about what you can afford. BP cuff was $22 then the pen light, scissors, hemostats weren't that much. The big...

  2. BRCC NURSING 2016

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was $169 for two sets of scrubs, a lab jacket and a polo shirt with the monogramming. Also picked up a BP

  3. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    Laughing hard at how everyone is like "that makes NO sense". Well the verdict is in. I'll keep my cheapo for an emergency backup and have the Littmann for everyday use. It's cuter anyway. I'm very...

  4. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    It barely makes sense to me either. I think having something I won't struggle to hear with is a good thing. Now I do think a $250 stethoscope is going way overboard, but an $80 Littmann is perfect...

  5. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    That makes sense too. I ended up buying a $13 sprague anyway. Figured if I can nail a particular skill on that thing, I can really appreciate when I do it on my

  6. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Man. I just got into my ASN program two weeks ago and its comments like this that really hold me back from being as excited as I originally thought I was going to be. I want to climb the ladder and be...

  7. I was just accepted into my program

    Erythropoiesis posted a topic in General Students

    I was just accepted into my program last Thursday :) so I have not actually started yet. It is an ASN program. I took all of my prereqs at my local community college, and applied to their program this...

  8. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    This idea has been filed away for later. Makes perfect sense. Different shoes create tension in different spots. Can't believe I'm only just now hearing of

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea. I was thinking the same thing. All the info I have is a phone

  10. BRCC NURSING 2016

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think not. Titers are only used to see if an individual is immune to a certain disease. They can become immune via a vaccine or by contracting the disease and developing antibodies that way....

  11. BRCC NURSING 2016

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You get the titers done to see if you are immune to the vaccines you should have received as a child. Most people are immune unless they never got the shots or for some reason they didn't have enough...

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't looked into it yet. Going to call my car insurance company and ask if they offer it

  13. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    I took yalls advice and tried on all of the nursing shoes they had. Went back a second day in a row to try on again after thinking about it over night, and I chose nurse mate doves. Pretty darn...

  14. I was just accepted into my program

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    I'm taking the time off this summer to work all that I can and spend time with family and friends. I'll be taking A&P 2 with nursing fundamentals this fall so I know I won't see the light of day...

  15. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    I tried on a couple different types of shoes last night after work. The reebok classics were the only things that I didn't have any issues with. Really comfortable. But I can't wear them at clinicals...

  16. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    My school didn't clarify at first what it wanted. All it said in our packet was to get "solid white closed toes" but a few nursing friends that are in my program told me today that they really crack...

  17. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    I've worked jobs that required long hours on my feet and nonstop standing up, sitting back down, moving, bending and squatting (worked in daycare for years). I'm a nanny for twin infants right now so...

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's called RKM Livingston. Google it and you'll pull the address

  19. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    Great suggestions everyone. Keep them coming! This weekend I'll plan on browsing the shoes when I go to buy my scrubs/uniforms for school, as well as some different shoe stores. Hoping I will find...

  20. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    Nice to know. I tend to get shin splints easily if I'm not in a shoe with enough

  21. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    I will have to look into the compression socks. If I can luck into some half priced Danskos I will surely give them a try as well. I'm just afraid of buying something that feels great in the store but...

  22. Best shoes for clinicals

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

    I have been. For two days I've been creepin' on the old threads but very often every time I say "Oh! I think those shoes would work!" I go to search for them and they're no longer being sold because...

  23. BRCC NURSING 2016

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no insurance. They provide affordable medical, behavioral and dental care for low income patients. There's an office in Clinton as well. For my bronchitis to be treated last week it was $20 to...

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nervousme504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call RKM in Livingston. It's a sliding scale clinic. Bring a check stub or two when you go. My PCP has been switched to the doctor who works there. I love them. I paid $100 for all of my titers, TB...

  25. I was just accepted into my program

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    I will look into those books! As far as the app addiction goes, it's already starting for me. Lol. There's a cool app called Figure 1 that I cannot quit playing with. Doesn't do anything to prepare...
