Jeff State Fall '09 Hopefuls??

I'm both excited and terrified. I didn't take classes this summer, and things had been very crazy for me (hubby unemployed for 4 months because economy sucks-- he got a job Tuesday though- we celebrate tonight!) so, I'm afraid my study skills have gotten rusty. I hope not! I just keep trying to study now and get distracted with doing something more immediate. It helps when we actually have classes and assignments with actual due dates.

Yeah, I had my titers done, and they all came back very good. I had my hep b shot last thursday, tetanus about 2 weeks ago. Yay! I have a cute little bruise from the hep b shot.

I feel the same way....We are in the same boat it seems. I didn't take classes - had a baby and my husband lost his job a few weeks ago (congrats on finding a new one!) we thought it would be much easier to find something - not the case! I have been reading alot since I got my books last week .

By the way, has anyone checked Blackboard? I printed the syllabus for 103 & 104. It has the scheduled meeting days as Tues & Wed. Did I write it down wrong in my day planner? I have written Nur 102 on Tues. Just checking.....

I'm not sure...but I was reading the syllabus and schedule for the classes and they had something about bringing injection supplies?? I hope they tell us this on the first day because I'm totally confused. Anyways, I cannot believe we start in 2 days. This is crazy!! I'm still working on the practice problems and stuff but after looking at the calendar it looks like she is going to go over them in class. So who knows what they expect from us! Hopefully we will find out Monday!

Did y'all buy your steth through Meridy's? That looks like the best place to buy but it says that "in-uniform" date is in October, but we need the steth the first week in September. I'm not sure if I should just order it through them and assume it will arrive in time or just get it off ebay or something and pay a little more. Any comments?

I bought my Littman steth from 3m.com I think. Or whatever the main website is for littman. It had free shipping and free engraving. The price for the same one on meridys website was about ten dollars more. Just FYI. And when I ordered it shipped the next day even with the engraving.

Yeah, meridys is overpriced. My mother gave me one, and I got another one from eBay for $20. The Sprague are the better type for accoustics. Also-- I've been told there is a problem with equipment "dissapearing".

Thanks for the posts--I'm definitely going to get it somewhere else.

By the way, LeJoy in southern downtown Birmingam (6th and 24th?) gives something like a 10% discount to students, and if you get on their mailing list, they send out some great coupons and notify you of some really great sales occasionally. They are very nice there.

Whew--the dreaded first day is over! I was asking around for followers of this thread but couldn't find any of y'all. Was anyone else slightly traumatized by all the stories of the many dirty old man incidents??

best deal on steths I found was medisave.net or .com...engrave was free and I got it in like 4 days!
I bought the Littman Classic II and I am very pleased. I had never taken a bp or put a steth in my ears before in my life and I got it on the first try!!
