I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO BAPTIST AND WILL BE STARTING THIS FALL. I AM SO EXCITED. I WAS WANTING TO KNOW IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHAT TO EXPECT AT ORIENTATION AND ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES AT THE SCHOOL.

Hello momlovinschool. My experience at BCHS has also been a positive one and it is nice to chat with other 30somethings. However, seeing the younger people in their late teens and twenties be so driven to better their lives is also very encouraging. We can gain wisdom from all ages in our nursing classes. And I think that it is really important for us to encourage and support each other no matter your age.

I feel old and I just turned 30. But i'm also driven to do more than live paycheck to paycheck and hold jobs that I am unsatisfied with year after year. Yes, the younger students are a motivator to do better and accomplish more. I do find college to be satisfying, but there is alot going on in my life right now, which means something is going to have to give.
Not that it matters, but I don't even know what to wear to class. I feel THAT OLD. GRRR!!!
stellarose,
Girl, all you need to wear is a T-shirt and a pair of jeans!

I know i've seen some girls coming to class looking like strippers and some of the guys too. lol
Has anyone purchased books from the bookstore since we will no longer be receiving bookstore cheques? I was just wondering how the new process works.

Just call Lisa at the bookstore. She can explain it, but I wouldn't wait until they are crazy busy. I plan on asking her too. So if you get the information first please let us know.
I will let you know as soon as I find out.

is the bookstore open??
I don't know how I am gonna pay for books!!!
It works very easily. I have purchased books from the bookstore since the disuse of the book cheques. If you have anything left over from student loans after paying for classes then it is put into a student account. You just go to the bookstore, pick out the books you need and use your student ID to pay for them. The amount will be deducted from the balance of your student account. Any money(s) left over will be given back to the student.
