Preparing for Nursing School

So, these last few weeks I've been getting in all the nursing requirements I need for nursing school. Here's the list.

• Physical Exam =Free
• Vaccinations (MMR, PPD, Varicella, TDAP etc) =$92
• CPR Certification= $50
• Drug Test/Background Check= $100
• Insurance Information/Notarization=$10

Getting it all done wasn't as difficult as I would have thought. I just had to make sure I had the money for everything. Thus far I've spent $252 dollars. Yeah, that's alot of money and I'm not even officially in the program yet. Well, I have been fully accepted, but until I get these requirements in I'm not officially in just yet. -sigh-

I've gotten so used to getting poked and prodded by needles that when I got blood drawn for my varicella blood titer I barely flinched. I even watched the needed go in. I'm numb to needle pricks now I guess. Getting stabbed 4 times in less than 3 weeks does that to you.

All I have to do now is buy books, nursing equipment (penlight, stethoscope, uniform, shoes, bandage scissors, etc) and I'm all set. I got financial aid today so hopefully I'll have enough money to buy everything. -crosses fingers-

This is what all you future nursing students have to look forward to. I hope you're ready!
