I'm so glad this thread was created, and I hope lots of people will participate in it. :) I'm excited to meet everyone and to finalllyyyy begin classes.

My suggestion to people is to buy textbooks online, even if you've got financial aid (they'll send you a check with the money you didn't use on books.) It's MUCH cheaper online, especially if you can manage to find an international version. Also, some sites let you rent textbooks for the semester.

Anyone know anything about shoes? I want to start looking to find a good deal. I heard they will tell us at orientation but that's the first day of class and will give us no time. Also since orientation is the first day of class do we need to be in uniform? :)

Good questions above!! ^^ I'd love to know the answers to those, too.

Also, and I posted this sort of on the general Jan Nursing forum- what goes on in a physical? Do you have to get undressed to a gown? Do they make you undress to a gown before they weigh you? I'm very skinny, I'm around 5'4 or 5'5 and weigh around 90 lbs-but no, I don't have any eating disorder. I've been very thin my whole life, and recently was prescribed a medication called Topamax for my migraines that has made me lose some weight, so I look even more thin. I'm worried about them weighing me, because of my BMI. Will I ''fail'' my physical- will the dr say I'm not healthy because he thinks I'm too thin? Will Broward see this and revoke my acceptance? I'm thinking the worst here. I've worked so hard to get into the program. Sigh. It just seems discriminatory that something like weight and BMI could even be reported to the college. But I read online that it's included in a physical, and well, it makes sense.

Anyone's ideas? Anyone that's been through the program and knows if weight/BMI could cause one to fail their physical/show up on the results to Broward?

Don't worry about your physical exam. I did mine last week. They weight u with ur clothes on. They only take ur measurements, ur vital signs, and some blood, so they can do the titers. That is all. Depending on your results, you either need or not the immunizations.

I just had my physical and they didn't even weigh me, they just took my word for it ;). Honestly though, they can't revoke your admission because of your weight. You can't fail this physical unless you cant lift anything. If you are naturally thin, the doctor will be able to tell that. Eating disorders are pretty easy for a doctor to diagnose and if you are healthy, that's all that matters. They won't even revoke your admission if you have TB! They just put you on meds. Please don't worry yourself too much over this.
