I went to advising on Friday night. It wasn't too bad. Just lots of dates and lots of paperwork to get done. I didn't realize how much little stuff we would have to pay for (background checks, drug tests, fingerprints, liability and health insurance). I have to apply for a loan now JUST to get IN to school. C'est la vie! Hopefully it'll be worth it when I start working. I can't wait to start, it sounds like fun!

Are you in the evening or day division?

[MartinEMT]

Evening as of now. I might take either Basics or Pharm during day though, if I can.

I'm done with everything except I havent had the time to take a CPR course yet. I've started purchasing some of the books. They can be much cheaper online than buying from the school.

Hi, I've almost gotten everything done, still gotta do a CPR course, and get the liability insurance. Hoping to get some of the books for Christmas ! Has anyone purchased the nurse pak from City Park? I was wondering what all is in it. Who all is planning to go to the student-to-student orientation on Jan. 9th? I am planning to go. It's supposed to be a good place to hook up with other carpoolers (I'm on the northshore). Between gas, Causeway toll, and parking, it could get expensive just getting there..But, I am getting excited !!

Hey guys, i am from the westbank, and i also will be starting at Charity in Jan. (evening division). I bought all the books and supplies in the beginning of October. Most of the paperwork, i had done already because i was accepted into the program this fall, but had to ask for a deferment for the spring semester because i had just given birth to my daughter. Anyway, the only thing i have left to do is, 1. get the liability insurance (which is super easy to do online - i tried doing it online in October, but it has to be within 2 months of when you need it, so i will probably do that at the end of December) 2. I have to go get the TB test done Jan. 2 at the St. Charles Health Unit - $20.00. ( I got all my vaccines done there - the only thing is the meningococcal was $100.00, but it's worth it.) 3. Get the Nurse pak at City park bookstore.

P.S. Buying the books online are cheaper. I compared prices with Delgado's bookstore (barnes and nobles), Amazon and Chimes. And it was a lot more cheaper for me buying online. I got all my books new, and since you don't pay taxes or pay for shipping on Amazon.com , it works out really well.

I purchased the nursing pak yesterday. I think it is a rip off. All it had in it was 3 single packs of gauze, 2 dressing trays, and a small half filled vile of sodium chloride.In order to purchase the pak you need to bring a copy of your class schedule.

Anyone starting NAC1 in January, and purchased the Nurse Pack? If so, can you tell me what's in it?? Thanks!
