1. Taking Prerequisites for UCF at Valencia?

   _sunflower replied to EventuallyANurse's topic in Florida

   I went to Daytona State College and have been in the BSN program for a year. Our course numbers didn't match either. :) The only thing that had me worried was I took an "Intro to Chemistry" course, but when I called they said it was the equivalent of...

   Other good sites I've found are valorebooks.com, half.com, textbooks.com, textbooksrus.com, and the Amazon and Barnes and Noble marketplaces. :) A good hint is to put the ISBN in google and hit the shopping tab on the left when the results pop up. An...

   Check your PM's. Also, there were readings from the Med/Surge book but I can't remember if they were required readings or supplemental readings (as in, read this to understand better). :/ And unfortunately, we need that book in spring as well so you'...

   Med/Surge you are going to need for third semester. Honestly, the books you are getting for the first semester are the basis of everything else you will learn (Fundamentals and Assessment, mostly). I can't tell you that I haven't looked through them ...

   No, it is through the school. They choose the package through ATI and you get what they want you to get. They open up little practice exams and you get books that have practice questions and like a basic outline of different things along with it. You...

   The kit has a BP cuff, not a stethoscope. The BP cuff gave a few people issues last year if you want to buy your own, but it's in there. Most of what is in the kit is things for lab - NG tubes, IV supplies, needles, practice insulin/ampules, catheter...

   The Littmann's are definitely great. I think everyone or nearly everyone has one in the program. Most people either got the Classic II SE or the Cardiology III. It depends how much you want to spend. I'd recommend getting it engraved though, they're ...

    You can do either one first. You'll just have to have everything together and they'll give you deadlines for specific things - make sure you meet them. And the meet and greet is just a day where you come in and meet the instructors and the seniors an...

    You won't get the list for a while. However, I did get all of my books for about $500 online - they give you a "bundle" list with both the books and the ebook versions on them for like $1200 or something ridiculous. You don't need both versions and y...

    No, they told us in December what classes and sections to sign up for. I'm sure you could go on MyUCF and look up the Daytona spring classes and get a feel for it (though you will not be in Care of the Adult II and Psychiatric Nursing - those are for...
