I am so happy I got the clinical site and instructor I wanted. One less thing to worry about.

Sorry I'm late responding, but you got who you wanted anyway....Congrats! University is great, and so is the instructor. She is so sweet. Tracemee, evening clinical with that instructor at west jeff is a good choice. He is an awesome instructor.

We'll I'm glad Registration is over. I got University with Duplechain 7-1. I tried for ------first becuase I heard he was the best but even hitting the button at 8:30 wasn't good enough. Anybody else in the same rotation as me?

tracemee · Dec 19, 2013

I didn't get the clinical I wanted...I'm at oschner west bank with Ms. ----- 645-1245...but I guess it's not bad though.

Naeema_rnhopeful · Dec 19, 2013

I heard she was a very nice...you can go to rate your professor to see what other students are saying about her..she was my second choice.

Hopefully everyone got who they wanted for clinical. As for lecture and pharmacology there are only 4 classes for each so everyone should be happy there... Don't let not getting your clinical site take your sights away from the ultimate goal, becoming an RN... clinicals are only 12 hours out of the week and the semester is only 4 months. You will more than likely be grateful for who you had for clinical, and it will be over before your finger uncramps from hitting the refresh button... then we can do it all over again for summer registration... It's all good!

Hey y'all I will be a Level 3 student starting this January, and I just wanted to give you a heads up. You will have to purchase texbooks every semester, it is not just that bundle for the whole 2 years. You will have a mental health rotation for Level 2 and Level 3 will be Maternal Child and Pediatrics rotations, which all have texts associated with them. Also I would recommend purchasing the "Davis Success Series" question books to practice test taking strategies. Nursing tests are unlike any others you have taken, these books have helped me the past 2 semesters and I will use them again for my upcoming semester. The one for Level 1 is called Fundamentals for success. I can't say enough about these books, my final grades have been 3 As and 2 Bs, and I truly believe they have helped. If y'all have any other questions I am more than happy to help as best I can. Congrats to everyone on getting in! One last piece of advice...Pace yourselves, as one of my instructors said "Nursing School is a marathon, NOT a sprint!"

Naeema_rnhopeful · Dec 27, 2013

Thank you so much for your advice...as you know we are we are just weeks away from the first day and emotions are high. I just received the recommended reading for the first semester and it's good to know that the information is actually helpful. Congrats to you for figuring it out and doing well!

Oh I had a question...When I called the school the other day..they told me that the ebooks were mandatory. ?.is there a way to get around that, because I would definitely perfer hardbook oppose to an ebook any day.

Jillmarie63 · Dec 28, 2013

I'm wondering the same thing about the ebooks. I like regular books....guess i'm just old fashioned!

Nurse0486 · Dec 28, 2013

They tell you that the ebooks are mandatory, but there is no one that is making sure that you have them. A lot of students had hard copies, but make sure that it is the correct edition because whats in your book may not be in the ebook or vice versa. It really is a personal preference. I barely used my ebooks at all this semester and I'm going to level II. In nursing school, you have to do what's best for you and not necessarily the whole class, if you understand what I mean.

Naeema_rnhopeful · Dec 28, 2013

Jay040806 what are the name of the books that you need to Level 1..so that I might price them.
