I was just accepted into Bergenn CC's Nursing Day program for Fall 07. I was just wondering about a few things, so anybody that has been or is currently in their program your help would be greatly appreciated.

So I know there is an orientation late August, but I would like to find out some things sooner. Besides the Criminal Background check, is there definitely a drug screening? Is that needed to register for classes as well or is that done later on?

Also, what types of materials did you need to purchase? Does the program allow PDA's and if so did you use them often?

Any adivce would be great! Thanks! :wink2:

Ok, well it looks like I'll start printing the outlines and handbook.

Yea, I jus orderer a PDA, should be getting it tomorrow...can't wait. Still have to order the programs and some accessories. Gotta get a stethoscope, some shoes, and order that supplies kit. And my first CPR class is actually later in the day after Orientation.

Which PDA's did you guys decide on?

I decided to get the Palm TX...ordered it off eBay brand new for a pretty good price, hope it comes tomorrow and hope there's nothing wrong with it.

Looking to order some accessories and a memory card soon...and the programs from Skyscape sometime this week.

I got the tungsten e2. i don't really need the wifi. i got it from the palm store online it was free shipping and free half gig of memory. i can't complain. i got it and i love it. so i guess i'll see you guys tomorrow. oh hey do you guys know of a cheaper place than skyscape?? i want to get the davis drug guide but don't really want to spend 50 bucks if i don't have to.... help please

Can't help you with the drug guide, I rec'd mine as part of a package deal.

See you tomorrow!

Maybe eBay or something?? Not sure...Got my Palm TX there for $200, looking to get a 4GB card now...I'm actually gonna order my programs now from Skyscape - I'm sure they're all around the same price no matter where u get it but always heard good things about Skyscape.

See you all tomorrow! :)
