Actually, I went up to the Nursing Dept yesterday mainly to find out about the Fundamentals book. I was told that there is a very slim chance that the fundamentals book is being changed for Spring 2013, so I will take that chance and get it on Mon, so I can start reading. The bookstore and Majors both have the packages for the nursing classes 2013 posted and available for purchase.

I also registered for fundamentals because there is only one class offered. If someone registered for the other classes, it can always be changed.

Try Krogers ... I went to the one on Mockingbird/Greenville and it was somewhere around $125.

Dallas county health and human services has it for $125. That's the cheapest you will find it.

I'm curious: is anyone else doing financial aid? I can't submit my information for FA without having classes registered. Is foundations the only class we will actually be registering for? I have so many questions; my head is spinning. The VA guy had no helpful information for me, nor did the person at financial aid. I'm sure Mrs. ******* will have the answers I need.

I pulled up the curriculum for the program in Brookhavens website and it says skills lab (1105) and clinical(1462) are with the foundations class. I also received an email today that shows what hospital we'll be at and the section were supposed to register for. Did you get that also? There wasn't much info in it and it looked like only the instructors were added so I wasn't sure if I was added to the list by mistake. Lol

The summer semester is the complete summer. You start the week after spring finals and I believe because you start the program in the spring your summer semester goes right up until fall semester starts with no break. You will be doing 2nd semester during the summer which is ALOT of material so that is why you go straight through with no break.

We got about 3 weeks off from the end of July to the end of August, my group started last spring.

Oh okay thanks for the correction! When I was at success camp and talking to some students who started in the spring that is just what I heard, that there was no break. Glad to hear that there is a break!

I was just looking at last summer's schedule though. Didn't you guys have Med/Surg 1 clinical from 7/16 until 8/10??

I am probably just confused! lol

So we started Nursing Skills 2 a couple days after spring semester ended. We also started Med/Surg class then. We had that until the beginning of July. We had some overlapping of skills and clinicals, those were 3 days a week, so most I believe were done 1st week of august or the week before. We didn't have to go back until the end of august, so that was our break before we had to start fall. Fall was 3 5 week blocks of classes, peds, then OB, then psych. We are still waiting to see if we had the prerequisite 3-4 fail from psych this year. Now that semester is done my class is a little on edge because we had no break in-between the fall classes, and 3-4 tests every 5 weeks, plus volunteering, and random extra activities that were required to pass. Oh and lots of group projects!! It is hard to get through, and the prospect of being able to read before starting the next class is impossible due to still studying for the final on the class that is still going on. The only advice I can think to give is forget life for the fall semester and just study, spend the extra money on the Davis series of books, like Davis Fundamentals, Davis Pediatric Success, etc...

Wheew that is ALOT! You must be excited to start your final semester in January!!
