it depends on what you have done already and what u can fit in before you go to the next level. i transfered in an associates degree in pre-nursing science, i cut out both rotations....just made it.

Was anyone else transfer courses added to their student login???

FinallyRNStatus, BSN · Jul 9, 2012

No none of my transfer classes have been added yet. Have yours?

Also did anyone have items rejected on criminalbackground.com??? :) I tried emailing Julie about it but I haven't heard back yet.

None of my courses transferred yet either. But I did get the email today regarding having to get our PSU ID before the 30th of this month.

Did you guys get your psu email? I can't wait to actually meet everyone in three weeks!!! :-)

Did you guys get the meningococcal vaccine? My dr told me she didn't think it was necessary, but it was my choice. So I didn't get it.

I received the PSU email but still do not know what credits of mine are being transferred.

What is the date and time of orientation?

Also, is this when we will be required to order our uniforms? I'd like to purchase some scrubs elsewhere as well (to save some money) and only order what we need to through them. Has anyone else heard of anyone doing this, or have any of you?

BumbleBee477 · Jul 12, 2012

If youre low on money, i would just buy one set. one top, one bottom. its a teal color and the bottoms r hard to match elsewhere. and they will tell u that u arent allowed to do that anyway but u have to get the tops

Thanks so much bumblebee!

What about a lab coat? Does that have to be ordered through them too? I read about them somewhere.

I'm planning on purchasing white sneakers and/or clogs soon. Is there anything that I should have of my own such as a stethoscope or anything else?

BumbleBee477 · Jul 13, 2012

yes you have to get the lab coat thru the school because it gets embroidered LOL how do u spell that word? haha. so yea and also a community t shirt too. so just get one set, one T and the lab coat and u should be good. They also sell equipment that you need that you can buy through them or on your own. I already had a Littman stethoscope so i just bought the blood pressure cuff thing which was i thinkkkkk $29, to practice b/p's at home. Uhmm alot of people got the clip boards that come with calculators on them. I just carry around a notebook with me. I bought the pen light from my local scrubs store for like $6 and i heard mine is really bright and i heard that the ones that the students got through the schools sucked (not bright enough). Hmmmm....i guess thats about it. Don't go crazy about the sneakers, just make sure they are white. Quite a few of us just wear white leather shelltop adidas. IF you go on the Littman stethoscope website they have a new one thats been out and the metal is rainbow (so cool, yeaaa im a dork). I want one :lol2:

Im excited for you guys that are starting...feels like yesterday. Youre excited to be coming in, IM exciting to be almost getting OUT haha! Senior pictures for me on monday! :yeah: :yelclap:
