I am currently awaiting AACC's decision regarding NS admission, but in the mean time I am trying to get ready
as if I were already accepted. My question to any/all current students is: what do you wish you
had done/someone had told you PRIOR to your first term of NS.
It seems to me after browsing old threads that you don't use all the textbooks that they list for
you, so which ones are mandatory and which can leave out?
Also, did you find out which books you will need during the orientation over the summer? I'd like to
try and start getting the necessary textbooks now.
How many of you read ahead in your books and if you did, did you find it helpful?
And one last question, besides books, what other materials do you need to purchase that first
term of NS? Will you need uniforms, shoes, PDAs, scrubs, stethoscopes.
I want to try an get an idea of how much extraneous money I will need to have.
Thank you so much ahead of time for all the advice!
