TCU Fall 2012 Traditional BSN

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello all!!! I will be starting the BSN program at TCU in the fall as a transfer student and I was just wondering if there were any of you out there I could talk to!! I am going to having advising with Zoranna this Friday and was just wondering if anyone else had done so yet...tell me what to expect. Anyway, would love to talk to any and all of my future classmates if you're out there :)

Linda- Statistics is really easy so far!! I think I will be able to handle it :)

I'm ready for August 20th!! :D

Good to hear...I took it over the summer too, it makes it go a lot faster :) I am ready for August 20th myself!!! Woo-hoo...we are TCU nursing students!! YAY!!!!

It can't come soon enough!! I can't wait to meet all of you! :)

I ordered my textbooks from the bookstore Saturday. The only problem is that I couldn't find anything for Fund. & Assess: Prac #20284, is that because it's practicals? So, we get the information from the other texts? Thought I would see if you knew.

I wouldn't think that we needed a book for practicum but then again, I have no clue really. LOL!! I would think that the things we learn in Fundamentals lecture and lab would be from the text books, and that the practicums are more "hands-on" learning. But again, I have no idea. How much were your books? Have you started flipping through them? What's the material like? I am going to try to get mine soon - I've just been holding off waiting to hear from Stephanie, but I guess she got busy. Anything else going on? This is my second to last week at work and I am really starting to get nervous :)

I get to register next week!! I'm so happy! :D

YAY!!! Did you get the email about orientation? I received my books yesterday via UPS...I started flipping through a few of them. Some of them are VERY large books. LOL. So how is stats going?? How's your summer? Exactly a month from today classes begin!! Can you believe it???

Did it get sent to your TCU email? Because if so, I haven't gotten it set up yet. I will probably do so when I register...And large books? I figured as much! I wonder how many chapters were going to have to read at one time lol! Stats is going well but I want it to be over...I hate driving to Hurst every day in rush hour! Work and school have pretty much been my entire summer so far, but I will be in Arkansas next weekend to go to the lake and spend time with family so that will be WONDERFUL! How has your summer been? And yes, ONE MONTH! Wow...I am really excited and scared at the same time!! :) :o

Yes, it was sent to my TCU email account. We have oreintation on August 16th from 8am-1:30pm in Bass Building Room 105, and then we have practicum oreintation on Monday August 20th from 9am-12pm in the same room. Bring picture ID. If you want me to forward you the email, just send me your email address in a private message...

Yep, the books are rather thick. The fundamentals book and the pharmacology book are probably the biggest, but I flipped through them and they look like they read easy. A lot of the books are lab manual type books that have question/answer sections. Its a lot of books, but I don't feel overwhelmed somehow...I think they all tie together nicely and as long as we keep up with what is going on, we should be fine :) I am more overwhelmed about how I am going to transport all of said books to different classes!! Ha ha!! The UPS guy had to carry them in my house because the boxes were so heavy. LOL.

You just have one more week of stats? That will be NICE to go to Arkansas!! I was going to try to go somewhere for a little vacation pretty quick but my daughter has so much going on with cheerleading (she made the freshman team at her high school) that I don't know if I can find time to get away!! I need a beach, and some sun really really bad!!! I just have one more week here at work, then I will have three weeks off before school starts, so hopefully I can get away somewhere for some relaxation :) All I have been doing all summer is working. What part of Arkansas are you going to? Such a beautiful state...

Unfortunately stats is not over until August 16th! So I will have to figure something out with my teacher to take the final early...hopefully he will work with me! And I'm glad that the books look like they're a semi-easy read...because I know pharm is going to be hard no matter what!

The part of Arkansas I will be going to is about 30 minutes north of Little Rock in a town called Cabot. My uncle lives in a HUGE house (we call it 'the resort' lol) and so we will be staying with him and then going to the lake which is located in Heber Springs, AR. So I am excited to get away for 4 days!

And that's awesome that your daughter made the cheer team, she must be really good! I wanted to be a cheerleader at one point in time, but could never get that back flip down!!

I am also about to PM you my email so you can send the orientation stuff to me. Thank you so much! :D Oh and have you bought your scrubs yet? Lol I haven't bought anything but the patches...I need to get the ball rolling!

So glad to find my future classmates here!! I'm An (yeah, only one "n" :p though it's pronounced as "Ann"). I have transferred from TCC.

I think we should have something kinda a study group, so we can help each other digest those very tough materials :)

Can't wait to meet y'all!!!

Definitely! Nice to meet you, An! Welcome to the group :)
