Aria School of Nursing September 2012

Published

Hi all, I'm new to this site (just joined today). But I've been lurking for a few weeks. I'm applying for the Aria Health SON and would love to meet others who are applying for the September 2012 academic year.

Bumblebee, you are wonderful for giving us this information! I sure don't have the money to be spending on books we won't be using! Thank you :)

I finally got a confirmation regarding my scrub order. Did anyone else get that confirmation? I am thinking they are shipping all of our school scrubs at the same time.

What do you guys think about getting older editions of some of the books? I know someone who let me have their med surg books but they are the 11th edition and we need the 12th. Also the same thing with a few other books. I am trying to save as much money as possible because this is a lot!!

Also did anyone get their med-math book or a diagnosis manual? Can the diagnosis manual wait until later?

Hey Amber check out Bumblebees post on p 49. It seems we don't need hardly any books our first semester. I already puchased the test/nclex review books and I will probably use them to prep for tests ....when I can find the time. I'm not a great test taker....so I think these books will help me adjust to the nclex-style questions and review the materials. If you already have some books I would wait on buying those and maybe compare your book w/ the newest edition to see if most the material is the same.

Did anyone get the APA book? I have an older edition but one of the advisors said that this needs to be the edition that they asked.

Not sure if we need this book right away.

Yes, I did ship it to the school. But it's taking forever to come out of my account.

Arent they automatically shipped to the school? I dont remember putting that shipping address in or anything.

And we can get flu shots now?

I never use the APA book. its too confusing. plus there are copies of it in the library if u need it. i do my own papers and just get Sophia the librarian to help look it over with me before i turn it in. After you do a few papers, youll get the hang of it. Just another book to collect dust.

And about the 11th edition, i'd try it. A lot of people dont even read the books at all. I do though.

My nurse told me flu shot were available as of 8/19 but my dr office won't start giving them out until September. I'm good until the end of November.
