Has anyone here applied to Baptist School of Health Professional in SA, TX for Spring 2021 . I just took my TEAS test today. I haven’t seen a thread for this coming semester so I wanted to start one.

Yeah I agree, I have my bg check tomorrow. I’m still collecting all immunization records, it’s the most stressful part honestly. But don’t worry you still got lots of time!

LOL same! Did you receive your account set up and background check email already? 

Do you have any suggestions on materials and essentials you found useful throughout your cohort so far?

Honestly with everything online, you don’t have to go to school several times a week and you’ll probably only being going to clinical once a week. You most likely can get away with only 1-2 pairs of scrubs. I have 6 sets, but I started before Covid hit and was on campus  4 days a week plus I have 2 kids and sometimes I just didn’t have time to do laundry LOL 
 

As far as materials go, it depends on what kind of student you are. Everyone studies differently. Just the basic stuff! If you don’t already have one, invest in a good printer. You’re gonna get anywhere from 5-20 something page outlines/power points per chapter and you’ll also need to print out a ton of med sheet templates. I also purchased a laminator off of Amazon and that’s been really useful. Definitely stock up on pens! I suggest a foldable clipboard for clinical as well as small memo pads that will fit in your pocket to jot stuff down on, Highlighters if you use them, page markers/flags, post it’s, blank paper for concept maps (you won’t do those Until complex though). Invest in quality binders and organize your classes by exam, and if you really wanna get in depth do it by exam and by week. Not sure if you’ve seen the syllabus for foundations or any other course but generally, you’ll have 4 exams for each course plus ATI and each is worth ~20%, so tests are all your grade is based off of. ATI has levels 0-3 and each corresponds with 70-100%. Passing is 76% and there’s no rounding at all. For clinical you’ll need a pen light, a watch with a second hand (some instructors won’t allow you to use Apple watches plus they’re annoying because the screen shuts off while your doing apical), and of course a stethoscope.

Hey everyone,

Just reaching out to ask about the textbooks for the first semester. I am currently getting them but would like to know which textbooks are used mostly and can be utilized for the rest of the program compared to what is only going to be used for this first semester. I have the ebooks for the textbooks for essentials of nursing and also have the concept mapping one and the drug guide but I do like actual textbooks so I may have to purchase it.

You will use essentials for clinical assignments in commons and possibly complex I believe- but other than that it’s mostly for semester 1.  My cohort was not required to purchase the concept mapping book, that changed with the Summer cohort. So not sure about that.  Definitely will need the drug guide for the whole program, and some instructors will NOT allow ebooks in clinical so you need a physical copy.  I can tell you I only used the nursing diagnosis book a handful of times and I’m finishing up semester 3. You will definitely need your med surg book for the whole program as well (even speciality classes, especially peds) but I know they changed that and they go back and forth between whatever y’all are required to get and the “old” med surg book, Lemone. I’ve heard from several classmates that did not advance through Summer and purchased lemone for semester 1 and then the were required to purchase the new med surg book for semester 2. Apparently they pull from and reference both text books- so do what that what you will. Don’t waste money on the Skills videos. I never watched them, you can Youtube anything you need to but you will be taught in lab anyways.

Did you guys also use Essentials for Nursing with textbook and study guide? It is one of our required ones and I wanted to know if it used. We did not have a required text called nursing diagnosis or is it named differently?

I just looked at y’all’s list- the nursing diagnosis handbook is not required for y’all they must’ve phased it out. Yes, we used Essentials with the study guide. You will need the study guide because there is several required assignments you will have to turn in from it.

Thank you so much! Was really losing my marbles at the whole textbook buying process cuz I was unsure which ones are actually used more than 5 times. Did you buy the Med surg book from the FA Davis site they provide?

You’re welcome! It’s definitely overwhelming at first. And I was not required to purchase the Davis Med Surg book. Only Summer 20 cohort and Spring 20 that didn’t advance. It didn’t make sense to make us purchase it to only need it for advanced!  We use Lemone.

Ohhh okay thanks again! It seems like lectures will be online even until next semester. They told us clinicals and labs will still be in person and some clinicals may be virtual which makes sense I guess and is good cuz I only purchased two sets of scrubs which I'd have to wash every use. Are you still doing clinicals on site?
