I just wanted to mention two study guides that really helped me this past semester in NPI - "Fundamentals Success" and "Med-Surg Success". Also, answering the Evolve's website NCLEX-style questions for each chapter was very helpful, too. Like others ...
Is anyone else having trouble answering the NCLEX questions at the end of the chapters? I feel that some of the questions are beyond my medical knowledge base at this point.
After this first week, does anyone else feel like they are swimming in a sea full of information and can't figure out where the shoreline is? I feel extremely overwhelmed and out of my element. How is everyone else coping and how are you approachin...
I am so relieved that I am not the only one freaking/stressing out after yesterday's news! It took me all day to become "rational" again. I know we can all do this or we wouldn't be here, but right now it seems daunting. Two years from now, we'll ...
For the members of the Dale Mabry morning class and anyone who has completed their first semester: I am wondering if we need to order all of the supplemental materials, too. I am ordering the required materials, but am hesitant to order all of the s...
Tebyrd, You can get the bandage scissors at the uniform store - I even saw them at HCC's bookstore. I think they were around $5.00. Does anyone know where we can buy a name badge holder? I am just wondering how we are supposed to wear our HCC i.d...
Tebyrd, Don't forget the bandage scissors - we need to have those. Other than that, I think you have everything covered. I was able to get my i.d. from HCC, too, with no problems. Hope you feel better.:)
Nickdost, I love your positive energy! You are absolutely right - we will ROCK!! Kman, Glad you were able to figure out your payment information. I saw the Doves, but they didn't have my size in the one I liked. I've heard they're very comfortab...
Kman, I only got charged for the $1100. Have you been to HCC before? Maybe they are previous balances? If not, I'd call the registrar's office or the cashier's office. Has anyone gotten their books yet? I'm debating on whether or not to buy the p...
NEWGOALRN, You're like me - if I've "been there and done that" and I can help someone else who is on their way, I am more than happy to help and provide as much information as I can. Your information is helping me to relax as well as to prepare myse...
NEWGOALRN, Thanks so much for the name of the shoes. I've been taking notes on all of the information you have provided and am happy we have someone on here who is willing to share what they've learned. A friend and I met one December '09 graduate ...
NEWGOALRN, Thanks for posting all of this information for us "newbies". I also have a few questions I'd like to ask you, if you don't mind answering. 1. What was orientation like and what was covered when you went? Is there anything in particu...
Nickdost and Tebyrd, I am in the daytime program at Dale Mabry this fall, too. I'm starting to get a little nervous even though we have three months to go before we start. I'm hoping orientation will help to settle my nerves and not the opposite. ...
I am new to this site, but got my campus assignment this week - Dale Mabry. However, how do we know if we are in the day classes or night classes? My letter just said that I was assigned to the Dale Mabry Campus. Regarding the background check, I e-m...
