@awarren no announcements that I know of.

Does anyone know the schools Cost of Attendance for 2012-2013 school year. I spoke w/ Jeanne and I though she said $30,062...which seems like an odd number. I was in a loud place and it was hard to hear her though.

@Candi & Amber did you guys get your textbook for HDFS yet? Be sure to check your email, because the professor sent two book correction emails a few weeks ago.

Did you buy or rent? What is the best website to rent books?

AspiringNurse_Amber · Aug 31, 2012

Ayanna and Candi,

I have not gotten my HDFS book yet because although the professor sent an email stating what the book is called, I wasnt sure if we should still wait until the start of the class because they did not specifically state that it was required.

I remember them stressing to wait until your first day of PSU classes before you purchase the books.

But I will most likely be renting it if we need it. I only checked out amazon so far and it is $155.55 to buy and $51.00 to rent.

Is anyone else taking Math 35? I'm not sure where to get the textbook for it.

$ 51 to rent???? where? I saw $ 70-$ 80 to rent....

@ Amber & Ayanna, no I didn't get my HDFS book yet. I also thought that they were stressing to not get the PSU books until class? Ayanna which book did the professor change it to, can you post the book and ISBN number? I will most likely be renting it and not buying.

@ Holly, I'm not fully sure but I thought they cost was around $12-13K?

Did anyone get their medical supplies yet? Are they being being to the school as well?

FinallyRNStatus, BSN · Sep 2, 2012

@simplyblessed. Yes the school costs that much, but cost of attendance (COA) is different. It is the estimated amount a student pays to go to school at AHSN and includes transportation, food, books, uniforms, medical supplies cost etc. It is around 30k but not sure of the exact #. You need it to apply for additional financial aid over the cost of tuition/fees.

@Awarren Are you talking about the medical kit w/ the stethoscope/ bp cuff? I got that on Aug 3. I think it was the date we were suppose to order it if you purchased the med kit through the school but maybe you can still order it before clinical starts?

It's been hard for me to reach the staff at AHSN the last fews weeks. They have been trying to juggle everyone's student requests. I still haven't been able to add by second psu class because I've been playing phone tag w/ the registar office. Maybe Tue?

I oredered it on the 3rd too. Is that being shipped to us or the school.

AspiringNurse_Amber · Sep 2, 2012

I'm going to wait to order the PSU books until we attend those classes because they repeated this several times.

I also ordered my kit on the 3rd. As far as I know, they are being shipped to the school just like our uniforms.

Is anyone bringing their fundamentals book on Tuesday?

FinallyRNStatus, BSN · Sep 2, 2012

I think they mentioned the medical kits will be shipped to the school like the uniforms.

I;m also waiting on the psu books. I will probably bring my fundamentals book too.

simplyblessed · Sep 2, 2012

@ Holly, thanks for the info because I had no idea about the cost of attendance; it's actually scary thinking about all of the expenses added up together like that.

I also ordered the medical kit during orientation and assume it was sent to the school.

@ Amber, I was going to take my fundamentals book.
