I got six of the 16 books needed for the LPN program yesterday. The bookstore is out of the other books until Tues. Anyway, I'm such a dork! I started scanning the Med/Surg book already and I can totally see why this is usually the most difficult clinical rotation!
I'm going to begin really reading through the nursing fundamentals book, because I think that's the one for Nur 101.
Sorry, just wanted to share my excitement. It makes it even more of a reality now. I've worked so hard to get to this point...now for the real work

How exciting! I'm a dork too...I got my steth in the mail yesterday and was playing with it most of the night. And I can't WAIT to get my financial aid so that I can buy my books! I never thought I'd hear those words coming out of my mouth...LOL

Make sure you go to Add All to find the best prices.
Our booklists are being mailed next (Christmas) week. I wish it were here right now!

I bought my books too and am looking for book bag on wheels. I think hubby is putting one under the Christmas tree. After looking through my books, a feeling of OH MY GOD came over me then I snapped out of it. It is an exciting time and I can't believe it's finally here. Good luck !
Kat57 I felt the exact same way. I had this feeling of being overwhelmed at first--like I can't do this, I'm way in over my head but the more I read the more excited I got.
Its so funny how so many of us have the same feelings/emotions and how we're all so excited (or anxious if you haven't got them yet) about getting our books!

I did the same thing - I ordered half my books the day I got my list! Saved so much money not going through the campus bookstore too, even including shipping charges.

I bought 4 of the 8 books I will need for the first 8 weeks of my ADN program and the cost was outrageous. No Christmas for me. I decided to start reading Fundamental of Nursing and I am now in the 10th. Chapter.
So far it is all basic, common sense information. I also decided to brush up on my math skills, and prepare for an anatomy HESI type test, so much for taking a break from school. I can remember a time, a long, long, long time ago when I was not such a bookworm!

If your hubby doesn't put your rolling book bag under the tree, get it from LL Bean. Their customer satisfaction guarantee covers 100% satisfaction at any time. Good stuff.
Our school preorders all of our books and we get them on our orientation day Jan 23 (first day of classes Jan 26). I wish we could get them early -- I would be studying the fundamentals of nursing already (I too am a dork). I have been using my Body Works 5.0 (it from 1995) software brushing up on my A&P. I just can't wait for classes to start.
Oh yeah, and I had a hard time putting away my scope when it came (Littmann Classic II SE). I even used it on the dogs! :roll
