    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    I just got my syllabus for APHY101. It says it requires a "lab coat or scrub top" for labs. Did you all have to do this? And did they expect you to have it for the first

    37changes replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ItsThatJenGirl -- I am 37 also and this is a second degree for me, too. I've been home with kids for 16 years and we homeschooled for seven of those years.

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    That is awesome that you are able to do that. I know we are going to take a financial hit in the short term for me to be able to do this -- not only to pay for the schooling, but because my husband...

  9. Help / Confused in life

    37changes replied to potatoz's topic in General Students

    Can it not be both? And if the answer is one or the other -- is either one of them "wrong"? We clearly come from different cultures -- but I am here to tell you that 23 is NOT old. My mom went back...

  10. Is nursing school worth the strain on family

    37changes replied to mnursingMT's topic in General Nursing

    smapes, have you considered taking the TEAS again? Or have you already taken it in the last 2 years? We can take it two times in two years ~ just has to be at least 30 days

    37changes replied to xhsx's topic in General Students

    I got the TEAS SECRETS study guide on Amazon, since it has such better reviews (400 of them, and solid 5-star). I just went to look again, and... Yeah. The reviews for ATI's are just not good. I...

  20. Embarrassing stories in clinicals?

    37changes replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    As I was reading the OP, I was thinking, "protein and fat is where it's at". Getting my blood sugar to a steady place -- without the crazy ups and downs -- has made a world of difference in my life....

    37changes replied to Cherry7496's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm not a nurse yet -- not even close. But I AM on my feet all day. Minimalist shoes literally changed my life and turned all of my aches & pains around. I bought these in May 2014 and I have...
