Any Prairie State college hopefuls for fall 2012 - Page 24

How much is the drug screening at st james? Anyone know how much the titers are there? Registration was super crowded! Im a little down that I didn't get 111 for summer. Is there a complete list of our supplies? How much does that $50 surcharge per credit hour suck???

That surcharge sucks. It would have been ok to charge maybe 150 for each course but 50 per credit hour? Yikes! But at the end of the day, it is a small cost for those of us who were accepted into the program, we are very fortunate. I am going to my pcp for physical, titers, and 5 panel drug test, not familiar with St. James cost. I was number 54 and got in Section 2 of 111. Didn't they say you could register for Math 085 Nursing this summer or did I misunderstand them? The next day I realized I wasn't registered and went back to the school and was told by Mrs. Willoughby that they did not offer that class, I'm confuzzled.

i would like to know the complete list of supplies as well, if that is possible?

Math 085 is optional and through.the mathematics department. I was the one in the back who asked I knew I wasn't the only one confused! But no one else asked until I said something lol.

Sorry for the late replies. Completely forgot about this thread.

They have to be white nursing shoes. These are definitely a must. They cannot be white gym shoes or the instructors will send you home and you'll have an absent clinical day. And my stethoscope is from a company called "Prestige Medical". It's pretty good and very light around the neck. Was like $30 but worth it.

I think I just bought the required books. I might have bought a study guide but never used it.

Franciscan St. James Health | Chicago Heights, Illinois | Olympia Fields, Illinois

That link has the phone numbers for the Occupational Health Centers for St. James in Olympia Fields and Chicago Heights. Just give them a call to ask for pricing and see what services they provide. I know they do drug screens and titers. The titers sounded expensive from what I remember (had mine done at the Doctor's office though) but you only have to do them once, just hold onto the records.

As for supplies they'll probably let you know more about what is required once you start the program. But you don't start clinicals until about 3 weeks in anyway so you'll have a better idea by then. The instructors won't have you showing up not knowing what to bring. I'd say at least have a stethoscope, second hand watch, black markers, and buy a package of black pens (believe me you'll lose a lot of pens at first) if you just want to feel prepared. Also a blood pressure cuff.

drug screen at st james is 39 physiccal is 39, tdap is 70, 2step tb is 96, i will find out about the titers, it's expensive though. I think the 111 might be better in the fall the syllabus says that 111 is designed to be taken concurrently with 101. Pinky we gottah stay focused!Loll Hey I have an extra book if you need it, bought 2, (was tryna be cheap)by buying it on amazon, but didn't realize that i needed the package! so its just the book. so probably worthless.lol

Thank Jasel!!! Awesomeeeeee!Lol

Yes you can register for Math 085 this summer, some of them start today (tuesday 29th), mrs. willoughby said that the nursing department don't handle the math classes. Just register for them like any other class. I will not be able to attend a math class at psc because my credits are too high and I would not be able to fund for the rest of the nursing program, so I will be taking mine at south suburban, and trying to figure out a way to leave my job. I'm also working on a *ME* space so I can focus. lol Goodluck! I'm in you're class!! lol Did you do the BIO? and Scavenger hunt?lol

good look missy, those science classes are key, and try your hardest to learn the material, I'm freaking out about relearning my AP classes and Micro and CNA! they want you to know those materials, and BASIC MATH. Let me know how you're doing.

ive started studying for the hesi. quick questiom, can i use a calculatore on the test?
