  1. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    We get 90 seconds per question, as we are told that's what the NCLEX gives you. As well as not being able to go back and look at previous questions for the same reason.
  2. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    I'm friends with a girl on FB that never uses the possessive form for her children. As in "I went to Sarah school today". It drives me up a wall, and takes every shred of restraint to not comment on it.
  3. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    AMEN!!! This one makes me batty.
  4. A Day In The Life Of An OB Charge Nurse

    My goal is to be an L&D nurse. I know it's a hard area to break in to, but it's really where I want to be.
  5. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    I had a hard time piecing everything together online, so I bought them at the bookstore. I held off on the NCLEX review for now. I also used Ebates and got 2% cash back (about $22) buying them online and picking them up at the bookstore. Let me kn...
  6. Am I "late"? 22 yrs old starting prereq Jan

    I'm 32 and starting nursing school in January. I spent 5 years getting a BS that I really never used, spent 3 years after college stuck in retail, 4 years at an OB/GYN office discovering that I love healthcare. Did my pre-reqs last summer. "It's n...

    Does anyone know which books are included in the bundle at the bookstore? I wanted to try to price them out separately to see if it's cheaper to buy them separately from Amazon. Is it the list that was given to us in our orientation packet?

    I took mine at Health Educators. They are off of Parham. They had classes both during the week and on weekends, and you get your card at the end of class.

    So I went to Gabe's today, and looks like I was late to the party. They had 1 pair of XS and 2 pairs of 3XL in the wine color. No idea if they will get more in soon, I didn't ask. But the tag said they were about $13, which is comparable to what I...

    I haven't looked yet, but I remember one of the ladies at orientation saying that they were pretty affordable at Gabe's on Hull St. I might swing by tomorrow to see what I can find. If I do I'll let you know what I see.

    So I talked to a friend that is also in the program, and she said that it was her understanding that the books for 111 are also the books for 236, which is why there isn't anything under that course. Which softens the blow of the price a bit.
  13. VCU ABSN Summer 2017 Hopefuls

    I'm surprised they didn't sent it all out at once. They know people will talk!
  14. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    Yikes! I knew it was going to be expensive, but I wasn't expecting that much. I'm going to have to figure out how to swing that I don't qualify for aid either that I know of. I can't believe that they (whoever "they" is) can charge that much for...

    I'll be using a laptop as well. I imagine most people will be, especially with e-books.
  16. VCU ABSN Summer 2017 Hopefuls

    Gosh 6 already. You know a lot of people who applied!
  17. VCU ABSN Summer 2017 Hopefuls

    I'm waiting on mine too. I have the same feeling as you @marie1995
  18. A & P and Microbiology

    I took A&P 1 & 2, microbiology, stats, and psych last summer. It was hard, not going to lie. Micro was a lot more involved and harder for me than A&P, but I think part of that was the instructor (the 2 A&P instructors I had were a lo...

    @Msebby - (I tried to send this via PM and I guess I haven't use the site enough to be allowed) I'm so sorry to hear the passing of your dad. I'm sure its devastating for you I have some white shoes that have a tiny bit of blue on them that I might ...
  20. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    Sure!
  21. Am I too old to start this?

    I'm 32, and will be starting nursing school either this spring or summer (depending on the program I get in to), and I'll finish when I'm 34. We're putting on having kids so I can do this, so I totally understand where you're coming from. The advic...
  22. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    Correct. Orientation for 111 is 1015-1215, and 226 is 1230-230
  23. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    The letter says 10:15 am. What time does the myTyler account say? Are you referring to the class time you signed up for?
  24. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    Whats up?
  25. JTCC Spring 2017 RN Program

    I haven't, I figured we would get something next week.
