   Sorry to be late to the party! I also purchased the books on Ebay. Sometimes, if you time it correctly, you can score a great deal. Trace, I purchased older additions for A&P as well. However, I would agree, you won't need it. That CD was about t...

   Hi Trace, I know we need the specific scrub top they recommended, but I believe Walmart also carries navy blue scrub bottoms. I wonder if we can substitute so long as they match sufficiently. I'll have to call and check with them. The website size ch...

   Hi Ladies, I know it is way early, but I was wondering if anyone ordered scrubs? I looked at the website, but thought I'd check with you gals first to see if anyone ordered yet and how the sizing was running.

   Thanks Kritterleigh. I also purchased insurance through United Healthcare and my major med. policy was around $70. The agent also let me know that part of the Affordable Care Act that passed legislation last year is free preventative and wellness ser...

   Hi Trace, I think mine came within 24-48 hours, but I don't remember exactly when. The actual drug test is walk-in and only took about 10 minutes or so. I finished my CPR, obtained insurance (applied anyway), am still waiting on a few immunization re...

   Hi. I called the Madison County HD. That's strange that St. Clair wouldn't do the immunizations.

   Thanks Ydbush! I did check with the Health Dept. and they were quite a bit cheaper than local clinics like Walgreens. They will do the Rubella and Varicella titers as well, if needed. I also noticed that Walgreens is having a "sale" on school physica...

   Hi Ladies, I just returned from the orientation. For those who need immunizations (I have no records- UGH). I checked on the Walgreen's website and the cost for everything will exceed $800. Anyone have any ideas of somewhere else that might be cheape...

    I hear ya. I'm going to have to take out a loan for the balance of school. It's always tough right in the beginning of a program too, since you have to factor in the physical, insurance, immunizations, uniforms...tada tada tada.... That said, I'm sur...

    Hi. I'm going to attend tonight's orientation. How did the it go? Do you feel more prepared for what is to come and what needs to be done?

    Hi Ladies, No, she didn't give a reason. I think she probably gets deluged with calls every year! LOL I figure if I did it wrong, I can just go online and cancel my registration. The only thing that confused me was trying to figure out a schedule th...

    KJNIllinois replied to MyGenesis's topic in Illinois

    I called Candice today in the Nursing Dept. and she told me to wait until orientation to register. I was a bad girl and registered anyway. I hesitated to wait because I need a specific schedule so I can be home for kiddos after school. I didn't atten...

    Hi Ladies, I need to dig up my nursing packet again. So, we are only allowed to take the calculations course in the summer, correct? What classes do we register for the Fall semester (100, 102, 103, and 104?)

    Hi Trace, I sent all forms back with my acceptance letter. I ordered the background test, and they will email you with the drug testing information. You will print it out and take it with you to your closest testing center. You have 7 days from the t...
