Hi Cmunst45636!!

I have an appt with Ms Batchen on Monday, May 1st. I will post and let you know how it goes. I have started to purchase some of my books a little at a time.. I understand that we need 5 books and they "recommend" that you get another 6. I have been getting them off of the internet (cheaper than the bookstore). I am waiting sor them to arrive. I still have to schedle my cpr course. I'm trying to get through the next 2 weeks- can't wait till the semester is over with to finally have a long overdue break- those online classes are rough..

Thanks

Hi,

Well, last semester (pre-k) they posted everything on the web site. It is no longer there. I printed out everything they had and kept it.

As far as I know (from speaking to students now) everything is still the same.

I am not the world's best typist-so please excuse my typing...

Here are the books on the list (I also went to the bookstore and confirmed it with them)

Check out this website for books of all conditions: http://www.alibris.com

Required for 112:

Kozier, erb & Gital (2004) Fundamentals of Nursing-concepts, process, and practice (7th) Prentice Hall. Bookstore new is 93.85 used is 69.95 ..I got it off of alibris in like new condition for 23.12

Mosbys medical nursing and allied health dictionary (2005) (7th) sT LOUIS: eLSEVIER-mOSBY. Books tore has it for 44.65 new and 33.50 used

THESE ARE RECOMMENDED: BUT NOT NECESSARY (although, everyone that I have spoken to- tells me to get them---so to each their own??)

Ackley, B&J & Ladewig, G.B. (2004) Nursing Diagnois handbook: A guide to planning care (7th) USA Elsevier book store has it for 41.55 new and 31.20 used

Delgin, j. & Vallerand, A. (2005) Davis's drug guide for nurses , Philadelphia: F.A. Davis Book store has it for 45.75 new and 34.35 used

Grodner. J & Anderson, S.L. & DeYoung, S. (2004) Foundations and clinical applications of nutrition: a nursing approach (3rd) St Louis: Elsevier Book store has it new 71.10 and used for 53.25

Lewis, M. Heitkemper, m & Dirkson, S. (2004). Medical-surgical assessment and management of clinical problems (6th) Bookstore new is 113.25 and used is 84.95

Nugent, P.M. & Vitale, B.A. (2004) Fundamental success (3rd) Philadelphia: F.A. Davis book store new is 34.10- 25.60 used

Smith, S. Duell, D. & Martin, B. (2004) Photo guide of nursing USA: Pearson-Prentice Hall book store new is 73.05- no used

*******************************************************

I could not get clarification if this book was recommended or a must.

Basics to Advanced Clinical Nursing Skills (6th) by Smith, Duell, Martin new is 82.50 -no used

*********************************************************

In regards to 115 classes

These are required:

Kee, J.L. & Hayes E.R. (2003) Pharmacology: a nursing process approach (5th) Philadelphia: Elsevier-Saunders book store new is 69.30 used is 52.00

Pickar, G. (2004) Dosage Calculations (7th) USA: Thompson- Delmar learning book store new is 76.45 and used is 57.35

********************************************************

Each student is required to purchase a Nurse Pak for nursing 112 at the City Park Bookstore ( the cost is 28.25) I do not know what is in it- they were out of them when I checked.

________________________________________________________________

I also have the Pre-Katrina reading PRIOR to the first day of class:

112 classes :

Chapter 1 pages 3-19 (profession of nursing)

Chapter 11 Pages 171-185 (wellness and illness)

Chapter 24 pages 417-440 (therapeutic communication)

AND

115 Classes:

Chapters 2-5-6-11 and 12

**********************************************************

PLEASE NOTE- THE LAST THING THAT I WOULD EVER WANT TO DO IS GIVE PEOPLE WRONG INFO. I WOULD ASSUME THAT WHEN WE MEET WITH OUR COUNSELORS- WE WILL GET THE INFO THAT WE NEED. This is the info that I printed off the website prior to the hurricane. I do not want to be responsible for incorrect info- so "proceed at your own risk"

There is never enough time in the day for me- so I am always trying to be as organized and "ahead of the game" as possible. As for me, I don't qualify for financial aid- and buying books is a great hardship (along with the expenses of everything else)- I need to buy a little at a time- for I can not afford one expense like this..

*******************************************************

Also on the paper- it lists that you must have a cpr verification card - for a HEALTH PROVIDER. They do these classes at Elmwood Fitness Center in Harahan- the cost is 65.00 The contact is Jay Morgan. He is just starting the classes up again and I do not believe that he has a schedule out yet.. (this is the only place that I have found- I have called E.J./oschner/W.J.

If I am not mistaken- don't you already have your card and completed the course? Where did you get yours at?

*********************************************************

If there are any current studnets out there that can verify the info that I have- your input is much appreciated- thanks.

I spoke with the people at the bookstore on a couple of occasions. They have told me that these were the books-(as info provided to them from the nursing school). On the price tags at the book store they have the course numbers on them. If a book is recommended- they will have the word "recommended" in bold on the bottom of the tag. That one book that I mentioned did not have a tag on the shelf (although there was a bunch of books on the shelf). The lady that I asked couldn't tell me one way or the other about it-and I had to go to class and couldn't wait. I will check on it again when I go to class on Tues -(I only go one day a week).

The first book on the list- when I looked for it on line, I found a bunch of different versions of it @ study guide, teachers editions, etc.... I just type it (google it?) under the name and the edition. So I just put in: Fundamentals of nursing: concepts, process, and practice 7th. Then I try to match up the names of the writers and check the year. Alot of times, if there is more than 2 writers they will only list the first two or such to save space??

If you use the alibris website there is a spot just to enter the title of the book.

What site are you using to search? Or where are you looking to buy your books at?

I know that there is a Chimes bookstore across the street from City Park campus. I might go in there on Tue and check out the prices on the books and post back.

Let me know if you find any "deals" out there...

Update,

I went to the bookstore again this morning and found that a few of the tags that say recommended or required had been changed out.

The kosier and Erb fundamentals of nursing book now had the word recommended under it.

Mosbys medical dictionary now had recommened under it.

The foundations and clinical applications of nutrition now had required under it

And the basic to advanced clinal nursing skills book had recommend under it.

It is clear that it will be best to wait to talk to our counselors about what books we will need. I am meeting with mine on Monday. If this info is given to me I will pass it on here.

I must add, that my experience at the Barns and Noble City Park bookstore was very poor. I am a "tad bit" older than the "typical" college sturdent. The worker who oversees books inside the store was nothing short of rude. The woman was speaking to me in such tone that was embarassing. (apparently she speaks to her workers the same way) She spoke very loud and came off as though she was screaming at me-customers and workers could hear her in the front of the store-(thats how load she was). I only asked a simple question and out came a "tirade" . Based upon how I was treated today- I hate to think how in the heck do they treat the 18' year olds? Don't think I will ever buy anything from them based upon this experience.

Can someone post the phone number for charity school of nursing? i cant find it, and i live out of town so i cant just walk over there. Help!!!
