I am awaiting my letter for Spring 2011 for Dale mabry nursing program. i am so nervous. Did anyone receive an acceptance letter and if so, what was your GPA?

Hi! I was just wondering where all of you got your scrub tops. I want something cuter than the plain ones, but I know they have to be "Port Wine" in color and I can't seem to find any online.

Thanks in advance!

Hopeful...

I posted on the other thread about this, but want to be sure you get the message. The Landau top is perfect in color....even though it says "wine" and not "port wine". That is the exact top that I chose, and I love it. Take care!

Thanks SOOO much!! I am very excited, as you can imagine...and thanks for the recommended reading! I will def take your advice and start reading asap! Again, thank you and good luck with the rest of the program!!

About those books you recommended...can you give me the ISBN numbers?

nickdost · Sep 20, 2010

Clinical Calculations... ISBN #978-1-4160-4740-7

Potter & Perry "Fundamentals of Nursing" ISBN # 978-0-323-06784-3

I would also get an NCLEX Review book and begin to familiarize yourself with NCLEX style questions. All of our tests are in the NCLEX format...and it takes some getting used to!

Glad to help...I was in your shoes SUCH a short time ago, and others helped ME. Happy to "pay it forward"!:)

I really appreciate all your help, and I'll make sure to "pay it forward" to others next application period!!! One more question...does it have to be that 7th edition Potter & Perry book....the 6th is much cheaper (however, I don't want to waste money on an older edition if I have to have the new one).

crynholder · Sep 22, 2010

The 6th edition is missing a bunch of chapters that our addition (7th) has. I would spend the extra and remember it will take you through the whole program.

nickdost · Sep 22, 2010

I've never compared the editions side by side, so I don't know. There ARE people in our class that are using older editions...and our instructor said that it was fine. It is just a personal decision. Good luck and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Elga · Sep 22, 2010

I would not use the older edition for Perry and Potter. But I used the older edition for Drug Calculations. It is almost identical and I bought the book only for a dollar.

Crynholder, Nickdost & Elga: Thanks so much (once again) for all your help! :)
