Who were all the Clinical Instructors?

I usually buy all my books on half.com and also sale them. My concern with these nursing books are the study guides and CD's which accompany them. Most of the ones I've seen on half.com say NO CD or No Study Guide. I don't know if those are important, but the book list says Study Guide as a required item. And I'm also not finding very detailed descriptions or ISBN numbers on the book list and the school website. It would be extremely helpful if someone had those, but if not I suppose you could just go to the bookstore and right them all down. The bookstore people at El Centro are very rude and just down right not helpful, I'd rather purchase them elsewhere.

Va-Galloway, Presby-McCarty, VA-Darensbourg, Mesquite-Marshall, THS-Shivstava. Just a question, are the first semester clinicals dealing with the elderly? Or is it just the hospital you get?

It just depends on the hospital you get. I had patients of varying ages. That looks the same as last semester. Old people are easier to do you major careplan on though, because they LOVE to talk. lol

So do you have to go to the hospital each night before the clinical? You cannot have the same person each time, if they are there for an extended stay?

we can ask the second semester folks about the study guides, although you're right... It's prolly best to have them, Have you tried bookbyte yet?

No, I've never been there. I will try to research several sites once I get the complete list of books. $534.00 is alot of money for that box, and not everythings in it. There are like 3 more books you need to buy. I don't know about NL though.

No girl, I wasn't eating the sandwich! She was too funny! I was the LAST one called! Talk about bad luck!

I think I saw a Bridgett being called, do you have short hair?

That was me! I can't believe you were last! "FutureNurseVaughan" was second to last. We were sitting together, I just got her to join our group on here too.

Dave sorry, but I am going with the book box. I have used every used book vendor online thus far, and I want to splurge this time and get the new stuff with all the goodies.

You do have to go pick your patient the night before, and no - you can't keep the same patient if they are there for an extended stay. Plus, you will want to go with different cases so you can learn more. They get to be very interesting. I used the study guides a little, but alot of people I know didn't. However, my class may not be the best example because we lost 31 of our people. Apparently a whole lot of people weren't studying the way they should have. Jaxia and I just found out we lost someone who we thought had made it who was very dear to us :bluecry1:
