STCC Nursing Fall 2009

If you live close to STCC, a Wed lab does get you out of bed. I sometimes forget not everybody has to travel 45 minutes like me lol. I thought that by having a day off I would be able to dedicate it to my kids but usually ended up juggling the kids, clinical paperwork, lab work, studying etc.

So jealous! I have to get up at 5am to get me and the kids out the door in time for class

Do we have class on both Thursday and Friday? My September calendar says so, but I registered for NURS-102 and 104, and both just say Thursday.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Yes we are to review med. cal. problems because they will be on exams.
FYI FYI FYI FYI
I also have great news for those interested in renting books. Yes I said rent a book. A nurse at Baystate mentioned to me how she rents her books from www.chegg.com or www.bigwords.com. So I checked it out this evening and saw books that were $99.00 can be rented for 35.00 per semester. Books that sell for 45.00 rent for 9.99. I personally liked chegg b/c it seemed easier to navigate.

There are 5 med calc problems on each of the exams and you will have med calc "quizes" (they aren't graded) that you need to turn in each week with your clinical paperwork. If you don't know the math, you should probably review it but there is plenty of time for that. I would say to read the chapters they suggested most importantly.

stcc14, thanks for letting us know about renting books! I never knew there was something out there like that. I'm sure I will find a book I rather not buy in the following semesters or when I go for my BSN.

On another note, some of our Nursing 302 work is finally up. That will at least motivate me to get a move on doing what I need to accomplish this summer break.
