October 8th 4:30 P.M. Is the deadline but I went ahead and turned my application in yesterday. I'm applying with 210 points to the Shelby campus. Good luck to everyone :o

Where/when is everyone doing their CPR certification?
I did mine last year at the Hoover Fire Department. It was free for me since I live in Hoover. However they never sent my card to me, I had to call several different people to finally get it.

During orientation at Shelby they mentioned that in a later semester we would have clinicals in Anniston? Does anybody know what those would be for? Thanks.

Which uniform material are you guys going to get? poplin or nanotex?

No idea about Anniston. That's the first I've heard of that. And for your question about the uniform, I got the nanotex. It is the thicker material so it's not as see through as the poplin, it also is spill and stain resistant.

I had no idea that they would take photos on Wednesday. Sorry for saying that would be the first week of class, usually it is. Boy or boy did it take FOREVER!

That's okay :) I plan on losing mine so I can get a new one one day when my hair looks decent lol :) It was crazy to do it like that. I think I spent two hours standing in both of those lines.

It was during orientation that the mentioned Anniston as a clinical site in a later semester. Maybe that will change :) I REALLY don't want to drive there.

So we will have class M-W and then lab for fundamentals on Th or Friday or maybe both sometimes? Do they have any open lab time for extra practice?

Is the nanotex hot? Is it less wrinkly?

You'll have Fundamentals on Monday, Health Assessment on Tues (some times this will be a lecture, some times it will be a lab - ex. learning to give head to toe assessment; skin, reflexes, neurological, etc..) Pharamacology will be Wednesday - before you get into learning drugs you'll do drug calculations. The labs for fundamentals, they usually split it into two groups. You'll either get Thursday lab or Friday lab. There really isn't an open lab, but what you learn in lab is easy enough to practice at home or in study group.

I don't really know if the nanotex is hot compared to the other one. I can tell you that I definitley get hot during clinicals because there's never a moment when I wasn't moving. I do think that it is probably less wrinkly - because I could take my uniform out of the dryer and it would still have crease markes from the last time I ironed it :-) If you want to meet sometime I can bring my uniform so you can see.

Hey does anyone know if the codes for the books are mandatory? I am able to get these books from family which would be super cheap but getting codes is another thing? Is everyone going to purchase the bundle? Thanks!!

I would assume the online codes are mandatory, but like most Pierson products, you can probably purchase the codes.

The jury is still out for me on the book bundle.:banghead: I'll sit down tonight and price things for myself just to be on the safe side. $580 is ALOT and I am paying for this out of pocket :dead: so I REALLY need to make sure I have exhausted EVERY alternative. Even if I save $100 that's $100 more in MY pocket and not Pearson's. Any advice about this would be GREATLY appreciated :up:.

Same situation here!!!!!! Totally out of pocket and trying to save wherever I can! Let me know if you find out about what codes we are using specifically!!!!

I looked up all the books through half.com and came up with about $400 for the 8 books (used and some were described as slight wear and a few highlighted pages, some had CDS and some did not), but thats not including the two codes that we need... Im not sure which is the better alternative either.
