Ok, after twisting Professor Ryan's arm, this is what i got.

Ok, Whenever you are going to be in the skills lab (Thursdays and Fridays)

or going to the Hospital (Thursday or Friday second half of semester) you

will be required to follow the dress code. It can be what you might call

business casual (slacks not shorts or jeans) and a polo type shirt rather

than tee shirt and no sandals clean sneakers ok. On the days you will not be

going to the lab or hospital you can wear what you want with the exception

of anything that may offend someone i.e. obscene message on tee shirt.

Pretty much this is a common sense dress policy. We will give you specific

information about uniforms and where to purchase them at orientation. Hope this helps D.Ryan

I don't understand why they'd be so secretive about stupid things. For instance, why can't they just give us the book list? What, is it classified information?! That info has to be given to the bookstore months in advance so they can order them, its not like they haven't decided yet! People need to know so we can plan for expenses. Right now I am working full time and NOT in nursing school, I have time and (a little) money. Once fall gets here, I'll be short on both. Would it kill them to be a little more helpful?

i had to give her a sob story.

The reason I was asking about the dress code is that I may need to buy more business casual clothes while the back-to-school sell is beginning so I'm not shopping through leftovers at the last minute the weekend after school starts. I've have not been working for the last two years so I could go back to school in order to change careers. Sadly my wardrobe has suffered. Other students I chat with would also like to know because they are unsure.

Often times books, procedures, and rules are up in the air and may change at the last minute... But they could still be more helpful.

Yep, you get to go home w/the lab coat and the pants, but they take about 2 weeks to put the emblem on the top (bought mine on the 11th, they just called back today)...

So they're being secretive about the uniforms, huh? Well, that's just great...:angryfire...as for the books, well, I went to the efollett website and put them in the shopping basket to get a total, and of course, they're still missing a class, so the total is short a class...I'm hoping we don't need all the books, but worst case scenario is all the books new at ~$650...I want to buy them used, but I think one of the Emory people on this board said to expect to buy them all new, which unfortunately, does make sense b/c I'd be keeping mine too...add supplies and a uniform to that and I'm quickly beginning to see where the $1300 quote comes from...

Oh, the joys of being a nursing student...:icon_roll

Shopping around I got the books down to about $500, but haven't bought them yet. Try bigwords.com it will find the cheapest prices for you.
