Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knew the information on the book that we need for NUR207. I tried to go to the bookstore online today and it isn't working. I was hoping to order it from amazon, but I need the name and author and publishing year, etc. If anyone knows and could tell me, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Congratulations, Nick! I'm really excited for you! Are you quitting your job while you do NS?

Good luck!!!

I took my Ethics class @ PVCC. I really enjoyed it. Little did I know, I still have 2 more classes to take... UNV and

Religion. Have you all taken these classes already?? Are they going to take up a lot of time during level 1 & 2??

Thanks Lizzru!

I'm not quitting my jobs, but I'll def be cutting my hours down to weekends only.

I love both jobs. I'm hoping that at some point during school I can take thr CNA test so I can transfer out of Banner Tbirds pharmacy and into a nursing dept. And as far as CVS pharmacy, my RPH if the coolest guy, one of my if not my best friend. And so working with him on wknds is relaxed and I can keep all my pharmacology knowledge fresh.

I haven't taken the UNV and religion course but I'll be taking them during the 1st blk and 2nd blk. Theyre online I believe so I think itll be okay.

I'm going to call this week to meet and register for fall. Got all my stuff together from the orientation meetin ready to go. Hows everyone else doing?

I honestly can't wait to start. but I'm def enjoying this summer off. :)

TLK879,

I just took the NUR 207 in the spring semester. The book we used was: Interpersonal Relationships: Professional Communication Skills for Nurses by Elizabeth C Arnold and Kathleen Underman Boggs. 5th Edition. The book is green with a white banner. I got mine at Amazon for $10 probably! Good luck!

And yes, I had NO idea we had to take UNV (I already have a degree!!) and the religion course. So annoying. But I will probably try and take them both as soon as I can in the program. My counselor told me they are 8 weeks online. They recommend doing the UNV in the first level, and the religion in the 4th. But I may just want to knock those out so I won't have anything else to worry about!

For those of you who need to get a physical or a tb test still....

found out cvs minute clinic at 59th ave union hills does:

Physical exam: $39.99

Tb 1 step: $27.00

I think those prices are fairly decent. Hope that helps anyone. The physical

took less than 15 min and they only accept walk ins.

Hours monday-friday are 830am-7pm.

Is anyone as stoked as I am to start this thing! Bring it! !

Im real anxious about schedules, orientation, and financial aid.

Going to vegas and hopefully one more vaca before school begins....

That's great NickWahoo, I will be making a trip to vegas as well before summer ends!! Very exciting!

Does anyone know when we will be able to register for classes? I'm anxious and excited to finally begin!! Although, I am appreciating every day of summer as I know fall semester will keep me busy! Thanks!

I heard theyre still working on schedules and should come out mid-July? But I'm thinking end of July to beginning of Aug.

Lizzyru · Jul 10, 2011

I had my appointment to go through immunization/CPR/fingerprint docs last week. After you have been verified to have all the necessary docs, you then call and make an appt with your counselor who will also request for financial counselor (and someone else..) to be at the meeting. I am meeting with them next Friday. When all that clears, my understanding is you can register. Nick, have you had your appt. with them yet?

I finally got an ok to take a week off at the end of July from work.. so we are headed to the beach.

Enjoy your time off!

Hey all,

Does anyone know what kind of documentation we need for our TB test? Is the health care form enough? No one seems to be able to answer my question!! lol

Thanks!

RNicholask, BSN, RN · Jul 14, 2011

@Lizzyru: I tried emailing my enrollment counselor but I haven't heard anything back from her. Good luck in your meeting and have a fun vaca.

@talenea88: All I had was a sheet of paper my clinic gave to me that showed the doctor's signature and showed the tb test and whether it was positive or negative and the date next to it. I hope this helps. I don't think just the healthcare form filled out is enough. I believe you have to show actual documentation that you got your tb test!

Just a question.....Did anyone get accepted at GCU with a C in one of their science courses? I have a C in Chemistry. I don't have time to retake it before the application deadline.
