New "09" Fall Lone Star North Harris Students

[Tyshe]

CONGRATULATIONS :yeah:to all that got accepted into the nursing program at Lone Star College and also the ones put on as alternates (hang in there, I have read good news for alternates in previous threads). Its been a long hard road for some of us and some its prabably been easy. I wanted to start a new thread for North Harris fall "09" students (or who every wants to comment or give tips.) Reading from previous threads I understand nursing school is not an easy tasks. So, hopefully this thread can help us entering into this new life we are about to experience for the next 2 yrs.

I was hoping we can form a study group to jump start us off before school starts. I heard that students usually have their group going by the first day of class. I am a little shy when it comes to meeting new people, but once I am comfortable I fit in just fine. I know from the previous thread a few of us admitted our shyness in a new environment. So, hopefully this thread can help us jump start our group...

Have anyone start working on their CPR, shots, physical and etc. Do anyone have to take pharm this summer? As for me, I have to take pharm this summer. I wish I had already taken it earlier so I could have enjoyed my summer.

Where have yall gone or are yall going for your uniforms?? I am going tomorrow - but dont know where yet.

[clac2009]

Lizzienick311 - you could go to Scrubs, Etc. on the I-45 feeder near The Woodlands if you are close. They give a 30% discount to students.

Hey Lizzienick- I was wondering where you been,, I have not gone for the uniform yet, let me know what you come up with...

[Lizzienick311]

Hey Tyshe - I've been here - Just really busy over the holiday weekend and finishing up my last day of work! :) I can finally get on the move to getting things done! I am thinking about going to order my uniforms today if I have the chance. How have you been doing?

[Tyshe]

Same here Lizzienick- just working and trying to get ready for pharm and the other class that starts on the 27th of July.. I was able to get the clinical we all wanted how about you and Goo123. I also got the 8-12noon class for 27th... ..

[beautyqueen2011]

Hey Tyshe--thanks for being so helpful.. I didn't see that pencil next to the register icon.. I wanted to locate that icon (pm) in case I had some personal questions to ask.. O-yea and someone mentioned uniforms.. Do we have to bring our uniforms to the school by a certain date in order to get that patch put on?? I know she mentioned white tops and teal pants..

[Tyshe]

You are so welcome beautyqueen2011... I dont really recall her saying to bring the uniforms to school.., I kind of remember her saying something about going to the library to get the student I.D.. I am not sure if thats the same place we will go to get the patch...

Quesition?? Do anyone know if we have to attend the Camp Wanna Win???....

[beautyqueen2011]

I don't think that it is mandatory..

[Lizzienick311]

Camp Wanna Win isn't mandatory. At the time of registration I wasn't sure if I could go, so I didn't turn in the slip they gave us. I guess I can still go if I want to? I think we should all try to make it and meet each other in person. I got the 8am-12pm class that starts on July 27th - I chose the one taught by Prof. K - anyone else get that one? Also...I got the clinical at Healthsouth in Humble! I picked up my uniforms at Scrubs Etc. in The Woodlands yesterday and for 2 sets I paid $78.00 and some change. I chose the "Grey's Anatomy" brand - I love how they fit - soft and not stiff... I asked the girl in there what most people got and she said that brand was very popular. I haven't purchased my shoes yet, but plan on doing that online very soon. My stethescope should be coming anyday now! I am very excited...

I haven't purchased my textbooks yet, but will be working on that the next week. Hmm, what else? I am going to turn in all my paperwork tomorrow.. i think the college is open? I will have to check my notes on the office hours.. If not, I will be going Monday. Does anyone know if we need a blood pressure cuff? What other things should we be getting? Also...what are yall getting for a rolling backpack? SOmeone suggested buying a small rolling suitcase.... What are yall's thoughts?

Hope everyone is doing well....It's getting closer!!! :)

COOL, because I was planning on visiting my mother,,,I have a Grey's Anatomy top that I got at a scrubs store off Memoria/Gessner... I love it,, I do agree,, its soft and comfy, I went back to the store the other day and they didnt have tops in white.. I have been trying different stores and I notice they are so hard and uncomfortable, so I decided I would just buy white polo shirts. Did they have a big selection of Grey's Anatomy?? Do you have an address to the Scrub Etc store??

I have not purchased anything yet..I am waiting until the first week of August. I do plan on getting the rolling backpack,, I read on previous threads, Marshalls or Ross sell pretty good ones. What kind of stethescope did you buy? and where did you buy it from..?? I can see that you are all ready to go,,, I didnt get her, she was not an option when I registered..but I did get the clinicals we wanted...
