any Jeff State Fall 2011 hopefuls out there??

I am taking the TEAS V Wednesday, so then I will know how many points I have!!! :)

Hey tvmoore, purchasing the books online is definitely the better deal...I've gotten all of my books and i spent almost $400.....I purchased a stethoscope with the adult/ped side. I just figured it would be best for me being that this is new to me. You should definitely look at the Littman scopes.. sassyrn2012 is in her 3rd semester in and she recommended that one.. Also, when you look at the different sites and the reviews other nursing students and nurses submitted, the Littmans just seem to be better.

Hi tvmoore5 I am feeling just a bit overwhelmed also. I was wondering about ordering the books online. Cause I really need to get them for the least amount as possible. I remember in orientation them saying something about cd's that go along with the some of the books. If I remember right she said that we would use them on doing assignments. Did the books you ordered also come with the cd's? If they do I am going to try and buy them online. Thanks for any info!

teejazzy: definitley the littman is the stethoscope I am going to go with...I was a medical assistant and have used them before, my last day of work..mine mysteriously came up missing! :( Which Littman did u get?? I think I definitely want to get one that is for both adult/peds!!!

Busymom: What I did to ensure that I got the CD's...(I don't think every book had a CD) was I googled the ISBN number and looked to see if it did have a CD...then if I bought it off e bay..I made sure it came with the CD...it is time consuming...but as of right now...I have saved $400.00 and I only have 2 more to buy. I know at orientation they talked about the Skills video that came with the package...It is $130.00....so if we have to have that we would have the option to buy it separate from the bundle. So no matter what...I think we will save at least 200.00 doing it this way...(that's alot of money to me!!!) :)

Have a great weekend guys! :)

@tvmoore.... I bought a littman cardio lll. It was a little pricey but I wanted to get a good one. I also got it personalized to try to protect it from thief. Lol. I heard also that they always come up missing.

Thanks teejazzy!! I was afraid you were going to say that one!!! I like it but it is a little pricey! Guess I will have to give in!!! I just don't want it to grow legs and walk away!!! I saw that on the engraving..I really like that! Did you get your first and last name on it?? I can't decide whether to do just my first name or what!!

Thanks tvmoore5 I am going to start pricing online and see what I can come up with. hope everyone has a great weekend!

@ tvmoore....I put first and last name on it. At orientation they told us there are two things we needed to invest in: a good stethoscope and good shoes. Lol

Busy mom. What's up girl? Do you remember how long it takes for us to receive the cor cards in the mail?

Cpr. Lol

Busymom: if you need any help let me know...just know it is time consuming...but you save money!!!

Teejazzy: Thanks for the info!! They didn't tell us that!!!!

I am glad we have this way to communicate with each other!!!:yeah:

@teejazzy Hey girl just busy trying to finish up this psych 210 class. But if I remember correctly he said anywhere from 4-6 weeks. I have not received mine yet.

@tvmoore5. Thanks if I need any more help (which I probably will lol) I will most definitely ask!!!

YAY! I ordered my nursing shoes (eventhough we won't need them until next semester) off zappos.com... They have almost 100 5 star reviews. They're the Timberland Pro. You guys should check them out. I'm usually pretty wary about buying shoes online without trying them on first, but they are free shipping either way (to you or back to them for a refund) plus I didn't have to pay any tax which was SCHWEET!! Also got my bandage scissors and pen light AND my books came in from Amazon!! I am SOOOO ready to get this party started!! :D
