Ya, I saw that too. I considered taking it online, but I really don't like online classes. Hopefully, it will be ok...

Hi there..I registered for South! Does anyone know what comes in that bundle that they sell at the bookstore and the estimated cost? Does it come with everything we need for the whole 18 months? Any input is appreciated.

I registered for the online program. : ) I also called the nursing department at Central and was informed that the booklist we received in our emails, even though it says South, is the booklist used college wide and for online. What I'm looking for are the books we absolutely need and the ones we never use and I know I saw a thread about that somewhere in here. If anyone finds it before I do could you please post it? Yay, we're in! : ):yeah:

Does N E one know if we can take the ceu courses online thru BC even if start date is 08/10/10 thru 12/18/10? Or could we take them online at ceufast? Any suggestions would help. I need to have them completed by Dec. 1.

About which campus where you don't need to buy the book for pharm-North and Central. At central theres 2, I believe ones a male, ones a female. At north, there's only one.

Also, here's just a few things. You don't need to buy any of the Lewis Med-surg books now. Those aren't needed until the second semester for GIGU. You'll need it again for Ortho/Neuro and Cardio, but you do not need it the first semester. Fluid and Electrolytes Made Easy you do not need for NP1, so you can wait to buy that until right before NP2 begins. Also, the lab kit you won't need until NP2 as well. They may tell you to buy it now and hold onto the receipt in case you need to return it, but I will tell you the bookstore WILL NOT RETURN it. When you buy it, they will tell you sales are final. If for some reason, you decide that nursing isn't for you, you're stuck with $130 kit. They say to do this if you have financial aid so you can get your stuff using it, however, before every session, there is a period for financial aid to use it in the bookstore. Just bring a copy of your schedule to prove you have a session 4 class and you're fine. (In case you didn't know, the first half of the semester is considered session 2, the second half is session 4. The courses that run all 16 weeks are session 1 and the ones that start a few weeks late and end a few weeks early but run about 12 weeks are session 3).

At north campus, I did not use:

ANA Ethics Book

CASTILLO Case Study book

PICKAR Dosage Calculations Book (The math class has everything you need, plus you can get practice math problems from the north professor's website)

VANLEEUWEN Lab and Diagnostics Book (might be useful, but it wasn't like you needed this to pass)

EVOLVE Practice Tests and Case Studies books (When I started, this wasn't even on the book list, so I have no idea how this is even used in the program)

found and reposted :)

Did u have problems registering for the lab (NP1 lab)? The reference # they gave on the schedule was not listed/available for the term. I called Central and they said they were having problems with it and gave another reference # to use. Did this happen to u as well?
