HI JENNAFEZZ, i just wanna know if working parttym is doable or do we really have to judt focus to the program.. And is there anyway to buy the books in advans??

^ you buy a book bundle @ orientation or after. its Expen$ive

biltz · May 15, 2011

You don't necessarily have to buy the book bundle. You can get the books used. There are some advantages and disadvantages to either option. All of this will be explained to you at orientation over the summer (about mid July I think). Don't go making any major purchases or decisions until then. At least at the Concord campus the school does an incredible orientation day and you will meet current Level 1 students and there will be presentations on books, uniforms, clinicals, skills labs, etc. You'll walk out of there with more information than your head can hold. Soon ------ will be sending info on vaccines and documentation you need to get to the school. Just focus on that for the time being.

Thank you the information on books and orientation. I think they said late July or early august for orientation. It sounds like they do a good job keeping students informed.

I work 30 hrs a week and it was really easy to do in the first and second quarters (worked 40 hours a lot of the easier weeks), but this quarter it is kind of sucking a lot. I'm still getting A's though, so it's "doable", just not fun.

You can get the books at orientation which will be about a month and a half in advance. I didn't buy the book bundle and I'm very happy with my choice.

If you want to pre-read, try the book "Pathophysiology made incredibly easy" and pick up any Fundamentals of Nursing book.. they're all pretty much the same. Or just spend some time reviewing your A&P and make sure you know it really really well, it will make things easier for you.

@ JENNAFEZZ : very informative. thanks for telling us about this. after your 1 year in the program, do u still use your books from the first year? Can you tell us infos about the authors of the books??? and infos about everything that we need to know?? where can i get the book "pathophysiology made incredibly easy"?
