FSW Nursing Spring 2016

Published

Formerly Edison state college.

Who is planning to enroll in the nursing program for Spring 2016?

So who is joining me? It's going to be a long process and I simply can not wait to get into the nursing program.

I hope to apply into Lee and get. I haven't taken my HESI yet out of nerves, but have to swallow that pill soon in order to apply.

I don't know about you guys but I am too excited to start! I hope thatl January comes quickly! I just can't wait.

Yep. Very excited.

That's great! You're well on your way. Have you purchased books yet? I will be much more relaxed once I'm registered for my classes, purchased books, and ordered uniforms.

Speaking of books they just came in the mail!!! I'm so excited I'm opening them now.

I actually did not purchase it on Amazon but I purchased them on eBay. I am an ebayer lol. The only book that I believe I actually purchased with the current edition for was the fundamentals success. I just received my fundamentals success, my nursing care plans book 7th edition, my Davis's Drug Guide for nurses the 8th edition, and the Davis's comprehensive handbook of laboratory and diagnostic tests with nursing implications

Thanks for the info! I will check eBay along with other sites. How exciting!!!

Yes it is very exciting most definitely especially since I was able to get majority of my books for under $100 and with very little if any highlighting or writing at all they actually are in very pristine condition and I am someone who is very particular about my books. I'm that person who you would see have a brand new book and won't write in it and will rather take notes and write on the scratch paper before I write in my book so this is actually up to par for me and I'm just waiting on my other books to get here. The only book that I did not purchase yet is my health assessment book which I did want to purchase the current edition for that but it is a little bit expensive considering all the funds I've been shelling out since being conditionally accepted, then having to pay for vaccinations and finding records, and Health reports yeah. That is going to have to wait a tad bit.Uniforms are next on the list since I hear they take a while to get here.

I'm happy for you that they're in good condition. I'm also very particular about my books and never write in them so I can appreciate what you're saying. I will need to look at eBay. Last semester the girls posted on this site that Hamilton's gave them a discount on scrubs. I hope that's still the case. Do you happen to know what day you will have clinicals?

As far as clinicals are concerned I'm not quite sure is it an either/or day I thought it was both Mondays and Fridays from 6:30 to 3 maybe I'm mistaken or reading incorrectly. Yes I did see that in the last fall 2015 postings that Hamilton did offer discounts on Scrubs. I am still very uncertain about the scrubs because of the section that says if you have prior scrubs its ok to still use that. My thought process would be if there prior and have no embroidery on it then you just need to get the information embroidered but it's still a little bit vague and I have no clue where Hamilton is. Also are those the only styles that we can wear and the only brands we can wear?

Regarding the clinicals for first semester, I spoke to Wendy at Charlotte and she told me it would be one of the two days not both. She also told me the person in charge of clinical scheduling would be assigning the day to each student. I thought maybe after registering, you might have received notification on which of the two days you were assigned. I think it's either Tuesday or Friday. They might be waiting until the second half of students, myself included, have signed up for classes. I also saw the reference to "prior scrubs" and the only thing I can think of is that I know of past students that purchased used scrubs from previous students. I'm thinking the school is letting us know that we can still use the old scrubs if we got them from previous students.

I'm new to the area so I have no clue where any of these things are but thank you so much love this is something I would have to google and just follow directions. I'm also looking into possibly trying to see if I can get a Littman Cardiology III m. stethoscope. I hear it has beautiful acoustic. I am someone that play instruments so I received a classic one a long time ago . This made me think my ability to hear would be great but it was not something that I was able to truly utilize and hear through. All heart.com have them ranging between $157 and $175. The price all depends on the color choice. Nonetheless this is something that will be purchased almost at the end of December because I have to purchase my uniforms first lol.
