Hey Katie, I see on Sonisweb that they have no textbooks listed for us for the up coming semester. Do you think we will be using the same ones listed for previous year? Have you purchased yours yet? I just bought the Foundations one, it costed $168 on Amazon!

Hello George. I just logged on and saw your question in regards to the books. In looking at the Fall 2013 book list, all of them have a copyright date of 2013, so I'm banking on them being the same ones we'll use. I bought the Fundamentals of Nursing and Clinical Calculations book from this list---I actually was able to get them from someone in the program, as they used these for the 8 weeks and were ready to part with them. I plan to buy the Foundations book right after they finish up in a week or so. I found a new Nursing Diagnosis at half price books---crazy. I kinda fell like the someone on death row taking the long walk to the chair.....reading people's posts on what to expect has me a bit nervous.

I think you're worrying a little more than you need to be. Sure, it's going to be a lot of hard work but I don't think it's going to be as bad a some of the people on this site say. I think we are lucky enough to be going to the a really awesome school! As long as we are willing to put in the work, we'll be fine! I know a couple of people that have graduated from this school, I've never heard anything bad about it. Hell if it was easy everybody would be doing it and nobody would be learning anything! Heck we got in, which was no small feat;we can finish it! Are you getting excited about orientation and student success next week? I'm sure they'll be giving us our reading assignments and letting us know what to really expect.

Have any of you received anything back on your background check yet? I think we are supposed to be getting a "blue card" in the mail and then bringing it up to the school so they can make a copy of it. Seems like it's been several weeks now and I haven't heard anything on this.

It usually takes awhile for that blue card. Where I went for my scan they filled out & gave me the original form that I took in with me to show the school that I actually did it. You'll prolly get in soon if it's been a couple weeks.

I haven't received mine, so I called Austin today and was told it should be here in the next 2 weeks--apparently they are behind. Seems like its been a month. Well nothing we can do, except wait.

kadj · Dec 13, 2013

Your probably right. I'm looking forward to next week---I'm hoping to be able to get things organized for the start of class.

Hi! I have not gotten any of the books yet, I'm going to wait until next week when the list is finalized. As for the blue card, I have not received mine yet, either.

I'm new to San Antonio. Where can I do the CPR class in San Antonio that isn't more than 55$ (American heart association)

I received my blue card last week, but I have my prints on file for my LVN Texas license. I didn't have to get my prints scanned again.
