Chris-

Did you get the email from Foote in your RIC webmail box? She said there are 4 required books for her class (rather than 6 or 7!) Check your mail!

I did notice that and I will have to check the bookstore when I go up to school but on the book list online it lists 6 books I believe so I'm not 100% on exactly which ones will be needed.

I know! I spend about $650 on mine. Plus I had to go order another $150 for my Microbiology class. I didn't see you at the testing, did you do well? I think I did o.k on it but I don't really want to that particular test again. I won a prize at the orientation part so that was pretty cool. I can't wait to start classes! :p

Chris-

I was at the test but I don't know what you look like so...I didn't see you either! lol :)

I feel like I did OK, but I absolutely hate standardized tests....yuck. But no worries, we are IN and that's all that matters!

That's awesome that you won a prize!! I forgot to put my name in for the raffle!

Can't wait to start classes either...I just want to get going and start working toward graduating.....

Tessa....that stinks about the book....I hope you have a better day :(

hey guys:

Even if the bookstore has a list, I think there might be two separate teachers for the class. Those of you who have Dr. Foote, should just follow the list that she gives you. She is very specific and you will only use whatever she tells you that is needed.

I would be happy to do that but the problem is that she didn't say which books she wants specifically so I just got the 6 on the list (I think she only needs 4 of them but I will keep the two extra or sell them.)

ahh..

Well good luck to you all; I am sure you will do well! Dr. Foote can be tough but you will be prepared for "real life nursing". I sometimes think in retrospect that she was like that on purpose to really prepare us for situations we would encounter in real life. At the time, of course, we were all saying, "why is she making it so hard??!!!" (this is particularly specific to clinicals with her)

Anyway, enjoy the semester, and try to absorb everything she makes a point of stressing; it is more likely than not to turn up on an exam!

Ditto. I would have been happy to save a few hundred bucks! :)

Athena-

Thanks for the warning about Foote!
