Anyone applying to ASN program at Santa Fe CC in Gainesville, FL?

I've done everything that I can thus far. I did both background checks, the online one and my fingerprinting, and I have most my immunizations. I am getting the few I still need when I go home next week. Have you?

I ordered my online background check today and did fingerprints yesterday. I'm 34 so I didn't get alot of the immunizations most of the people starting the class have had. Just because in the early 70's they weren't reccomended. So I'm having to have titers drawn to check for immunity and getting quite a few shots. I also need to take the cpr course. So I've got plenty to do.

That sounds good. Is this the first time you applied to the program? I am taking the CPR class this weekend. I looked at the textbook requirements, but they were much more diverse then just a med dictionary. Where did you look at the requirements?

Does anyone know if we need to get stethoscope?

yeah, it was my first time applying, what about you? i saw there are about 10 textbooks on the list, just some of them don't seem quite as important as others. Do you know what the cutoff for points was this year to get in?

I agree. Some don't seem as important. I found them for a lot cheaper on half.com. I want to get a jump start on reading, but don't know where or what to start with.

The book prices are all over the place. One site will have one book cheap and the others not so cheap. I'll have to check half.com.

Yeah, just search around. Are you commuting to school or do you live in town?

I live by UF. So it's sort of a commute. Especially since we'll be starting at 9, i'll hit the worst traffic. What about you, are you in Gainesville or out of town?

I'm in Gainesville. I live in the Millhopper area.

What did you do before nursing school?

I've done quite a few different things. Never really found anything I liked all that much. Two of my step brothers went to nursing school and enjoyed it, so I took a few prereqs and really enjoyed them. Now here I am planning to devote two more years to school.
