Yeah I was like holy crap 14 books, this has got to be a joke. I think I am going to wait on the recommended stuff and see what we reallly need. That is $300.00 in extra books.

We are in for some serious reading!

here's a question. it says 4 semesters, so if we take summer classes can we be done in Dec '09 rather than May '10?

MvbRn, ASN, BSN · Jul 23, 2008

I am not really sure, I know that all of our paper work said MAy 2010. I know they used to make you go fall, sp, fall, sp, summer. So the programs was two years, now I think it is 18 months. It is a little confusing.

I am so excited, Orientation is almost here!

I am going insane! I want to get it done and I want to register. :yeah:

It is also making me crazy, I feel stuck. I don't know what campus I am going to, days or nights or how many days I will be in school. I feel like it is a huge guessing game!

Me too. They called to verify my last name spelling and I took the chance of asking if they knew yet if I was on for days or evenings and she said they won't be able to say until Orientation. I am going crazy not knowing and I also spoke with financial aid who said we can't complete our loan paperwork until we are registered for our classes (which we don't do until Orientation)... so even longer to wait on $$.

That said... I'm still really excited!!! :yeah:

Do you have a different last name that they would have to call you for? I was already registered for classes from pre-registration, so I was able to do my promissary note already. You could always register for different classes and then drop them once we register for nursing classes.

I wish they would tell us something. I am wondering how they do things at orientation and how we make our schedule. There are so many people going to be there.

MAcc2ADN · Jul 24, 2008

Yes, my name is weird. I am legally one name but hyphenated one document accidentally and she called to verify which was correct.

I spoke with financial aid yesterday and basically, once I register for classes I can complete the remaining documents for my loan. I asked if there was anything more I could do now and she said no, that I would have to wait. Eh, whatever... (shrugs)

Well you could try registering for any class, that way your paper work is done otherwise you are going to get your loans late. I know it is annoying, but what else can we do besides wait?

Did you see the book list that I posted?

MAcc2ADN · Jul 24, 2008

YES!!! OMG. That's like $741 for the first semesters books!!! Thankfully, my employer will reimburse my books on my 1st check after I submit my receipts. Whew!!! Otherwise I'd probably have had a panic attack by now. LOL.

I have to admit, there are some good sides to waiting.... I nearly have my computer room organized (including ALL it's miscellaneous boxes of 'to be filed/shredded/tossed' stuff).

Oh, and I meant to post. Walgreens is having a KILLER sale on school supplies. A 5pk of Bic highlighters are only 5 cents! I think I must have picked up 15 packs already.
