Hillsborough Community College Fall 2012

Has anyone started using the ebooks? I was thinking of getting an Ipad (instead of lugging around those awful heavy books), but I didn't know if they were issues with it not being compatible with the right flash reader.

Please let me know if you've been using the ebooks, and if you've had any problems or if they work fine. Thank you!!

Yeah, I have it on my iPad 2 and it works just fine. The only negative is that you can't "highlight" on an iPad. That might be a problem to some. It definitely is lighter though.

Crap on a cracker... All this reading is turning my brain to mush!!!

Thanks raym20on. Not sure that I need to highlight... guess I'll give the iPad a try.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES...

When looking for a volunteer opportunity, you might consider Gulfside Regional Hospice (www.grhospice.org). The have locations in NPR, Hudson and Zhills. They have many different volunteer opportunities, some in their 12 bed care center (their greatest need), talking to patients and assisting with feeding. They also have a need for volunteers on their patient nourishment team where volunteers prepare meals, put trays together, and then serve patients. Ms. Crews has approved this as an option for the PC cohort.

They require a 2-day orientation, which might not work for everyone's schedule, but I told my contact that I would at least mention their need for volunteers. I think Hospice is a GREAT program, which has helped several of my family members personally. It can't hurt to suggest the program to others. It might be one that folks hadn't considered.

Thanks raym20on. Not sure that I need to highlight... guess I'll give the iPad a try.

Correction, you can highlight within the program. I didn't notice when I first used the program.

The $$ showed up on Onecard today for those waiting on money back from FinAid. Mine was wrong, so check it closely.

Hi yall. Over at Spring 2013 we are eagerly waiting for our acceptance letters. I am sure you remember that weird mix of fear and excitement very well. I am trying to distract myself, so please tell me what you guys are doing in class. How is it? What is your average day like? Do you have to study every minute? Thanks, good luck, and I hope to join you soon.

Get ready to read every minute of your life. Well in the first couple weeks is the clinical day where you spend time sitting in the nursing lab, taking notes while the professor goes over the skills you were supposed to have read how to do, then practicing the skills by yourself or on a friend, then for lecture days you are supposed to have read another x number of chapters for example 3 chapters a lecture, 4 chapters a clinical that the professor just talks about what's important and shows you how you'll use the information in practice "nursing process" and you're also responsible you've read the entire first 9 chapters of clinical calculations and know it since there's not much review of it and they test you on it surfing week 2 or 3 depending on your professor

I meant to write: the first couple weeks (1-4) you spend your clinical day at the nursing lab. After week 4 you spend your clinical day at the hospital and the. Spend your outside lab hours in the lab, and comp ours in the computer lab. You'll have 1 clinical day(10 hours) and 2 lecture days (3hours)

You are responsible for 6-12 chapters a week of the fundamentals of nursing book

Hi All. I have decided to do my "volunteer" time at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. If you would like to join me, I have created a team - Hcc Nurse In Training. This event is Saturday October 20 at 9am at the Forum, and there is no minimum required to raise. I've done this event in the past, and it is awe-inspiring and empowering. If you don't want to walk, please feel free to make a donation to our team at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk | MakingStridesWalk.org | Making Strides Against Breast Cancer | American Cancer Society.

Put on your pink bra and join me!! :)

I am excited yet terrified of this program because there is so much info!!
