Try to Pay for as many things as you can before the end of 2013 so you can write it off in your taxes. I already called my accountant and he told me i can write off all the equipment and all the uniforms, books and tuition as long as i pay it before the year is over.

I thought you can register for any section you like? Either way I got 601 so that's good after reading comments about the professors haha. Anybody find any info about CPR? Most of the places I called are doing the classes in 2014.

Also, the book list mentions a few different books and tells you to choose one lol. Which ones are the best? Or do different teachers use different books?

Thanks

So $108 for total pantsuit? Do we need to buy their shoes and watches?

Hello fellow 601 :)

About the $108 for the total pantsuit, that's what the lady on the phone told me. Regarding the shoes and watch- I'd hope not. It's severely overpriced and white shoes and a nice watch wouldn't go over $20-$30 if you bought them anywhere else.

Also if anyone hasn't seen the rules about the uniforms:

I'm also not too sure about the books. We're supposed to just pick one out of all the listed? Either way, I'm going to wait until the first class, which will be pharmacology for 601 and see what she wants us to do about the books. Some teachers always give out photocopies of lectures, or don't really require one- so yeah.. I'm def going to be waiting it out. Books are last on my list

Thanks Berrie,

I also emailed them about the personal medical insurance part of the medical form, it's a little bit ridiculous that they are telling me I need to have health insurance coverage, what is this? Obamacare 2.0? Especially since the school removed the health insurance coverage. Anyone know about this? Either way I applied for NJ Family Care as I'm only going to work part time, if insurance is mandatory.

Also, please post if you find anything about CPR, Englewood hospital is having a class this Saturday, but I won't be able to attend.

I don't see anything about having mandatory health care :(

Where is it located on the medical form?

It is not mandatory to have health insurance coverage, what they mean is the malpractice which is only $37. nso.com
