GPC Fall 2013 letters

Published

I can't believe it. I have read in the past I wouldn't hear until the end of March or April to know if I was accepted. To my very happy surprise, I got my letter in the mail today! Let the games begin.....anyone else here from GPC? Good luck to you all!

I emailed mine but she said I had to mail in the original copy. I had my first two heps done but my third isn't until Oct. After I mailed in my forms I got the email where they are requiring more titers now so I have to get a titer for MMR still. She said I won't have to do the hep b titer until I complete the series.

Ladies,

Have you guys ordered your uniforms and supplies yet? I got everything this week. The only problem, my top is too small. I ordered a xs (meant to order a small) and it is too small. I will have to return it and reorder for the next size up. I ordered a small in the pants and they must run slightly big as I usually wear a size 4 and they are a little big on me. Not bad though. I still need to get shoes. Have any of you ordered/purchased shoes? If so, where and what type did you get? Shoes and a non-metal watch with a second hand are the only two things I have left to purchase.

Thanks!

Same here, all I have left to get is shoes and a watch. Luckily my uniform fits! As for shoes I haven't decided what kind yet, ive heard a lot of people talk about danskos so I thought about trying them, or maybe just nikes or something. I got my book in the mail today, its interesting to look at what we'll be learning! :) so excited! Any of you attending bootcamp?

Yes,

I will attend all three days of boot camp. I already registered. What about you?

I registered for all 3 days as well. As for the student name badge I haven't ordered one because I thought the school might give us that? I don't know where we'd order it from.

Hey ladies,

I will be there all three days too. I ordered my name badge from Meridy's. Can you get over how heavy and large that book is? OMG, we will need to have a Chiropractor ready to adjust our backs after carrying that one around. I did see on other posts (from previous years) the pages that have been recommended that we start reading. Since we are going on vacation next week, I plan to bring my book and read while on plane or in the car.

OK, thank you.

Yes, I got mine to and I started to freak out. I also bought the Fundamentals of Nursing Study Guide.

Can you please share the pages that have been recommended we start reading?

Thank you and have lots of fun on your vacation.

I ordered it through www.meridys.com enter passcode GPC7382. Scroll to the bottom and you will see it the second from the bottom. It is labeled Mer-student-NP, labeled Student Name Pin for $6.00. I hope this helps.

Oh I see now! Somehow I missed it before lol how many did you order? Just one?

I only ordered one because GPC didn't suggest otherwise. They only mentioned to get two uniforms.

I don't know how accurate the studies will be for us, but someone in 2012 stated the first test will be over the following chapters (their test was in Sept). The chapters: 1,17, 21, 27 and pages 198-210, 222-228, 55-59, 1521-1538. Like is said, don't know if that will still be the same for us, but early reading can't hurt...right? :yes:
