   Page 14 of the student handbook states that ASN students will need a steth, bandage scissors, and a watch with a second hand. I'm sure they will go over all of this on the first day. I actually had a nightmare a few days ago that I missed the first d...

   Hi Rachel, nice to "meet" you! I took the plunge and invested in a pair of Alegria nursing shoes. I get knee and back pain if I'm on my feet too long without proper support. They look a little like clown shoes but they are seriously the most comforta...

   This is like, third-hand information so don't quote me on it. My friend who is also starting the program this year told me that her co-worker, who started the program last year, told her that we're going to be in clinicals by the second or third week...

   Yes, I just checked my schedule and you are correct. And yes, I was told Mrs. Knott when I turned in my paper work to just wear street clothes.

   Gatormommy- Mine is the ASUS K42F-A2B. It's a 14-inch laptop. The battery lasts a solid 4 hours though I might buy a backup battery just to be safe. The only problem I have with it is the speakers aren't very loud. My boyfriend, who works in IT and b...

   I got an ASUS last month and I LOVE it. I got mine from TigerDirect for an obscenely low price because it's a slightly older model (maybe a year or so). The only color available was a dark chocolate and I actually like it better than black.

   Unless you have financial aid restrictions I would suggest getting your books from Amazon. I got all my books brand new for the same price (or less) that Santa Fe charges for used copies. Plus, as someone else already said, you get free 2-day shippin...

   Everyone check your schedules!! I've been registered for class! I'm going by what's in the 2010 version. The dress code portion is word-for-word the same in both the 2009 and 2010 handbooks. Unless they decide to change colors on us I can't imagin...

    Emily, All info regarding uniforms/dress codes is in the student handbook online. The only thing it says about scrubs is that pants and tops must be royal blue and free of logos and brand labels, specifically mentioning Gator and "TV show" logos. I d...

    I am taking the CPR class this week. I'm leaving on the 29th for almost two weeks so I want to get as much done as possible before I leave. I even bought a pair of royal blue scrubs on Friday....because I'm a huge dork and super excited. Is anyone t...

    Hey Lauren! Congrats! From what I understand, we do not need blood work (titers) done if we have our immunization records. I do not. I went to my doc on Thursday and she wrote up an order for the blood work and gave me a tetanus shot and PPD test. In...

    Since we are no longer "hopeful applicants" it makes sense to have new thread for those of us starting classes in August. We can use this as a place to get/share info on the program, express our excitement about finally being bona fide nursing studen...
