I got accepted to the BSN Spring 2024 KPU program and I was wondering if there are any current students or past students of the program that can offer insights on the schedule of the clinical rotations, locations and if textbooks are mandatory. Also, what jobs are typical for a student nurse in the second year.
Just any tips would be very helpful.
And also if there is a facebook group for the Spring 2024 intake (not the advanced entry).
It was a mixture some days were on campus and others were studying from home.
Hi,
My fall cohort recently received information regarding orientation and we are given a shopping list including scrubs along with KPU crest, nametag, labkit, stethoscope and a list of textbooks. Would you consider the practice labkit to be optional or mandatory? Also, regarding e-textbooks, are the online workbooks associated with the primary coursebooks (I.e. pathophysiology/nursing fundamental textbooks) necessary purchases as part of course completion?

Thank you
The practice lab kit is mandatory but won't use it until semester 2 and 3. You need to get all the required text/ebooks including online courses for pathophysiology and nursing fundamentals. There are quizzes you take on there that are used for grades in those courses.
