Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

I haven't gotten my books or my uniform yet, clearly I am slacking!

I'm thinking about starting a Facebook group for the NCC program but I don't see any for previous classes and I don't want to get in trouble if it's not something we're supposed to do.

O don't think there is any problem doing it. As long as we don't share content information, I believe, and make it private.

Or you can aways create another one here.

NCC Nursing Fall 2014 Students only

I think I have seen others do a Facebook page, I don't see why we couldn't have one.

I got my uniform early, because I can't sew!! So I needed to have someone sew the patches on for me, and wanted to make sure I got them back in time. I also just ordered another set online , all heart scrubs, and they are on backorder! ? they scrub shops around here laughed at the styles when I tried to but them locally saying they never ever have toes retro pants in stock! So I had no choice but to order online. I would have to assume the uniform shop in Norwalk would have them on hand, as well as the book store, but the book store had limited sizes when I looked quick.

I knooowwww!! I was mad that the Norwalk store didn't have it... NCC should have "an agreement" with them, as well as more options on styles.

I understand it's just an uniform, but come on... thick girls like me have a hard time fitting in scrubs without looking like we are in a bag of potatoes..

They sent out another email about the book list... I actually got this one!! Problem fixed!??

That's nice!!!

When I looked up I couldn't find the books anywhere else.

I'll do a research and I'll post here what I find.

You might also consider looking at older editions. We're using the Lewis Med-Surg books (2 volumes) in my program, too. I bought what was on the list, but a classmate bought the previous edition of Lewis for a fraction of what I paid, and she says it's the same material. I have now done the same for other books in subsequent semesters, and it's worked out well. Sometimes it means looking at a classmate's text to find equivalent pagination if the reading isn't the whole chapter, but it hasn't hurt my learning, and it's saved a ton of money. There's usually not much difference if you go back just one edition.

On the email they said not to buy previous edition...

I did a lil research and I'll end up getting the bundle at the bookstore since the difference won't be much if i buy elsewhere after adding Shipping, plus the convenience of having everything in the same place.

I haven't bought a book for the past 2 years, I always rent them, but apparently we will be using those books for the whole year, so renting is not an option.

I bought the bundle, I just figured it was easier and for this semester want to make sure I have what is recommended. I have always bought. Used or rented as well, I did by the math for meds online, not from the bookstore.
