So are you guys almost done with the semester? What does your schedule look like for next semester and when do you start? I hope you guys haven't had it too rough! :wink2:

joshuaha,

I am in class after you, starting 2nd semester. We have to get some "Critical Thinking in Med/Surge Nursing" book by Pressuer, this was in an e-mail from Mrs Ames, the bookstore doesnt have or know anything about it (of course) She suggested we could buy it from a 4th semester student, How would I go about getting word out that some of our class would be interested in buying books from you guys? I went to talk to Ann today but she wasnt in her office, sooo any ideas??? And best of luck to you in your 4th and final semester!!!!!

joshuaha · Aug 22, 2007

Yes, you will need the preusser. One thing that we did to save ourselves from all having to buy the book is we bought several copies and made copies for the whole class. you won't be using anywhere near all of them (I think we did ten but Ames may have something different in mind). The best thing I can think of is asking ann to have Mrs. Mclelland start a list or something. I would sell you mine, but I can't remember if I have a copy or not. I have bought an awful lot of nursing text's over the past year! I will get back to you and let you know. Good luck in Med-Surg, it is fun!

Thanks for the info Joshuaha. I asked ann to send an e-mail to 4th semester students about any books that anyone is interested in selling to 2 semester students, I'm sure there is a large interest on our part. I think we are trying to get a group together to split the prausser book like you suggested.

hey gang,

it sure was nice getting to be with the whole bunch again; there was so much energy and excitement in class today. good luck to everyone at getting through this semester with the "project" and 1-1/2 hour "presentation"!

see ya,

toni

Those clinical presentations are fun! Don't sweat it... Just put some effort into it. They all grade very fairly. Have fun in Med-Surg! It is great that you are finally getting into the "meat" of nursing. What hospitals are you guys @ this semester?

Can anybody tell me what the lowest total points were to get in when you were accepted to the Brookhaven nursing program? I am really having a tough time obtaining this information. I just want to know how many points would be relatively "safe".

(By points I mean GPA+support courses+HESI score)

lexcourben · Sep 27, 2007

The admission process has changed so the number of points for our class may not really help you but I believe it was 14 points. The top 60 students were selected for interviews then the faculty selected 40 students based on those interviews.

I believe this time there will be no interviews just the top 40 students will be selected based on their points.

Good luck.

jla623 · Sep 27, 2007

Thanks, I appreciate the info. We don't have interviews this semester. It's just kind of hard to know where you stand when you don't know how many points everyone else has! So basically I just have to play the waiting game until November. :uhoh3:

Hi everyone. I am sure that everyone is as happy as l am that we do not have to pick up Patents on Sunday. I am planing on riding the Dart down on Monday to the trial. How is every one else going down.

joshuaha · Oct 20, 2007

Sorry I can't make it to the mock trial this time. I have an interview at Childrens for my internships! Shucks, it means I am missing out on community service hours... ah well. I will be going to skills lab a lot more in the future to help you guys out on Mondays. Have Fun!
