i hope this helps, we weren't given isbn #s, now i wonder why they wouldn't include those??? just kidding, i knnow why, they want us to purchase their book pack! and guess what, i am, just because i am lazy and don't want to search all over to find these books. so far the nlc bookstore still doesn't have this book pack in, so you still can't order it. the bookstore told me to check back later today, or early next week.

hey jaxia, don't worry about cleaning my car or anything. i don't mind helping out a fellow nursing student :icon_biggrin:

Specializes in ER.

El Centro has 9 book boxes still in stock and more coming next week - it's a trip down there, and take a luggage cart with you to get it to your car (it's close to 100#). It was $570 ish with tax.

good luck!

My daughter took turns carrying the 1st sem. book box from NLC's bookstore 100 miles out the door and another 100 miles to the back of the parking lot. :lol2:

OMG...was it heavy! I suggest a suitcase rolling 'thing' too. (Like a freaking dolly or something!) haha

$291 for 2nd semster, huh? Good grief.

That does seem like a pretty good deal with all that software and the stuff it can do! How cool is that!

I'm still giggling like a silly school girl. Wait, I *am* a silly school girl! ;)

Hey Kathy -- They canceled the Monday class. Are you going to sign up for a different one?

Anyone else taking the math class? Which day?

I'm confirmed Thursday (I know we already talked about it - lol). I will be there with bells on. But, you need the math list to memorize the symbols before the class. You'll probably get it on Tuesday, but that only leaves you 2 days for 100 abbreviations/symbols. Let's figure out how to get it to you!

I've got them scanned from when Katie sent them to me. I'm sure they are the same. :)

I've uploaded them at Index of /FromKatie

Don't stress too much if you don't learn all of these before Thursday. If the class is the same, the instructor will tell you easy ways to remember the ones you will need to know for the exam.

Yes, it is best to learn all of these overall just in case you see them used, but as an FYI, some of these are on the "don't use" list now. ;)

Kathy -- I confirmed for Thursday, too. Since I already have my dosage calc book, I was planning on trying to memorize the conversions in the back of the book.

Fun -- You always come to the rescue :D Thanks!

Does this look like what you have, Kathy?

I think I'm going to try to go to Nordstrom's some time during the day tomorrow or Friday. Anybody want to go try on nursing shoes with me?
