That's funny I think I just replied to your other post about being accepted into Summer 2013, but possibly being pushed up to Spring... It sounds like you already found out! Congrats, I'm jealous!! That's too bad because it looks like you and I are on the same page! I was about to make a thread for summer 2013!

Anyone hear anything about when orientation might be? I know we probably have a couple more months, just getting anxious! :-)

Any updates? I read on another Spring 2013 board that someone received an e-mail reminding them to register for Nursing... hmmmmm?

Nope just a confirmation email asking about whether you were still planning on attending in the Spring...they said we should get information about orientation and things we need to get completed for school in a "few" weeks.

Thanks! Did the e-mail give a deadline of when to let them know if you plan on attending in the Spring, or are giving up your seat? Just wondering :-)

Not that i saw. It just asked you to confirm. Then once you reply, they send you another email saying to expect orientation information in the next couple weeks....

Hello everyone I too will be starting in Spring 2013! I recently went to the West Campus to try to get more information about the program, I wasn't able to get a date per-say but I was told the Nursing Orientation would be set for the last week of October- First week of November. Do we know what Nursing I covers? I would love to get a head start on the reading!

I'm going to start the nursing program in January 2013. I found a thread that talk about the books that we need for the program. This can help you.

The book list is super helpful! but I have a question.... any idea if we are still going to be using the 7th edition of the Fundamentals book? I was looking it up online and it seems there is an 8th edition to this book that was published this year....do we think we are still going to be able to use the old edition or are going to need the new 8th edition?

Just curious on y'alls thoughts...
