How much would the required books have cost... not recommended ones? I think I would wait and see on some of those, and I have 3 drug guides already from another class I took last year.

For cryin' out loud!! I just typed a long post about the books I got and somehow deleted it before posting it. Painful, since I am the slowest typist around! Well, heck, and I was just looking and there are three more required books I did not get. And I did not even get the ones for 1600!

There are not a whole lot of the used books but the ones I got look like they have never been opened.

I just looked ahead going through the books we will need for all the classes we will take over the next two years. The good and not so good news is this semester if we also include the Medical Surgical Books we need in October that cost $228 will be by far the most expensive book-wise. Oh, the Pharmacology and the Nursing Process 5th Ed by Lilley that I bought today is recommended now but required next year. I got this one today and it was wrapped with the study guide for $20.25 (so book and study guide) according to my receipt and when I just checked it on the online bookstore site, it says it is supposed to be $75 used and $90 new???? It must be scanning wrong....

It was used but looks brand new. I opened my Fundamentals of Nursing. It is the heaviest book ever made- I think the pages are made of lead. It is a used book too but is perfect. It had one wrinkled page in the front because there is a CD in there.

Has anyone else ordered their scrubs from Dove yet? I ordered mine the 7th of July and decided to email them last night because I still hadn't received my order yet. Well, they lost my order! They billed me but never filled my order. So, I had to reorder and was promised the scrubs would be here by next Monday the 27th.

I ordered them about a month ago and they only took about 3 days to arrive. I was lucky! They fit pretty well based on the size Dove told me to order. I just have to sew on the patches. I just got my stethoscope the other day too!
I am just waiting on my titer results and my TB test to be read and then I am FINALLY ready! (Oh except I have to shell out the money for books!). August is fast approaching! How are my other August start people doing????!

I ordered my stethoscope from allheart.com on the 17th and according to Fedex tracking it was delivered to the Roseville Post Office today (the 21st) and they will be delivering it on the 23rd? I thought that was kind of wierd that Fedex brought it half way and then the USPS took over. So if anyone orders anything from allheart expect it to take a week or so.

I went to DOTS on Dequindre last Friday for my drug screen as someone on here recommended. It was quick and easy.

I went to DOTS last friday also! They did mention I was the second person to come in for school that day. I highly reccommend that place to everyone! Concentra was going to charge 55 bucks and DOTS only charges 22.50!
