   I'm not sure about Houston, but in Dallas - they have not yet been 20 pages...10-12 though. There is a format. No worries, they will explain it all and you should know what to expect when the time comes. I know that is easier said than done. I wa...

   It is very unfortunate that fact is just now being realized. The letter grade shouldn't be everything! Some simply do not test well on paper, and for many students "life" happens. BUT i'm glad to hear that a change is being thought of.

   Yes, orientation was last Thursday. It was great! BUT it was very overwhelming to me also. SO much information and so many things to get in order before classes start. The instructors/professors told us to be as ready as possible because we are go...

   I will be a J1 in January - i currently have a ADC stethoscope that came with a BP cuff for about $50. I am hoping this will be sufficient. I do not plan on buying another one until this one proves to not be good enough for my J1 assessments and su...

    Did that friend by chance give you an estimated price for all of the books? I also heard that they sell the recommended books in a "package" - do you know if this is true?
