LaSalle Achieve Fall 2012

Published

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread for those of us who are starting at LaSalle's PT evening and weekend program this fall. I was accepted a few weeks ago, and I'm currently working on my compliance forms. Any one else in the same boat? Congrats and looking forward to meeting you!

Has anyone received the uniforms and if so how long did it take to get them? I went to the fitting in July and paid the deposit and was told that I should wait for the bill to come in the mail. I still don't have it! I emailed the company And they sent it to me in email format.

Just so we are clear orientation is next Thursday right?

Right, orientation is this Thursday, the 16th.

I also went to the fitting and placed an order. I paid in full and, no, I still haven't received my uniforms.

I got my uniforms, not sure if its because I went to the one store since I couldnt go to the fitting.

I hope we hear soon where we will be placed at in clinicals.

I hope I get to log in soon. Sent in my deposit and now just waiting for them to cash it so I can get registered.

Hopefully we will have them for clinicals. I'm looking forward to orientation and ready to start the semester.

Me too! And I think we'll definitely have the unifies before clinicals start.

According to a woman who graduated from the program in December - we wear whatever we want to class, and uniforms at clinicals.

Congrats to everyone starting the ACHIEVE program this fall! I am going into my last semester this fall (*heart palpatation!*). You only wear the uniform to clinical.

As far as the books - never buy from the bookstore! I don't think I purchased one book from there in the two years I've been at La Salle. I mostly bought used from Amazon and Ebay when possible. If I couldn't find it used, I just bought new from Amazon because it was always cheaper than the bookstore. For most of the classes you don't need the CD-ROM - it's really to help prepare you for studying. I think the only class where it was required to buy a book brand new was physical assessment because there was a code you needed to have to get online and view a video series.

I highly recommend the Davis Success Series (you can find them in barnes and noble or amazon - they have books for pharm, med-surg, fundamentals, maternity, peds, etc. and they are so helpful. Sometimes professors will even take a few questions right out of those books!).

You can definitely get a previous edition of the clinical calculations book. For the fundamentals book, I would try and go with the new edition, as well as the med-surg book (but you won't be needed that until next summer!). Ask the professor on the first day if you can use a previous edition - most of the times they will say yes it should be okay. I have no idea what an I-Clicker is, we never used one LOL.

Good luck to everyone! If you have any questions I'd be more than happy to try and answer!

I finally got registered but I am not sure how to log into the new system or access things. I am not sure how to view email (something about microsoft live?) How long after your got confirmed that you were registered that you could see your classes. It says I am registered but nothing more is viewable. Any help is appreciated!

When you log on to the My LaSalle portal there is a link on there to access your e-mail. It looks like they just recently updated the portal a few day ago because I had to make a new password due to the changes.

It's normal not to see your classes showing up yet. They actually won't be loaded on Blackboard until the day that your classes start. Hope that helps!!
