Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

Published

So we all should have heard weeks ago about our placement now I wanted to start a place for the preparation for Block 1.

I know Fall semester still needs to start and end before we can even get to block 1, but hey I'm to excited.

How is everyone doing getting situated for the universitys?

When is everyone thinking about starting the stuff that needs to be done for Maricopa (I.e. medical papers, titer tests, CPR)?

Is anyone on here attending mesa taking those two extra classes? The structured review and the math? I cannot figure out if I should take it or not?!? You can fail one of them which affects your grade I heard! Has anyone heard much about them?? Any advice please!! Idk anyone that's taken them or not and need help!! Thank you

I'm also in the Gwcc evening cohort but I can't seem to figure out how to upload the medical documents to the website which says needs to be done before orientation? Did I miss the code? The instructions link they posted won't open no matter what browser I try using it just says error messages!

Mao I haven't uploaded any documentation yet which is making me nervous. I've email about 3 people and no one has gotten back to me because of the holidays.

Thanks!

-- Quick question for those in the Gateway program - In our emailed packet it mentioned something about getting our book package at 40% off... is this already factored in and is the price shown on the flyer the final price after the 40% off??

** From flyer: Custom Package includes only required texts for Spring 2016-- at a 40%+ DISCOUNT!

Due to customizations, packages will only be available through your GWCC Bookstore!

E-only Bundle: $834.91 Print +Ebook bundle: $985.44

-- Anyone got their books already? I tried calling this week and they are on break...

I'm in gateway too and I have been waiting for the email with further instructions on how to upload documents but haven't gotten one! You got one? And I've already uploaded[emoji16]? Can u share how maybe? I've emailed 3 people about it but immediately get responses saying they are outta the office until Jan. 5! A day before orientation! :/

Also I bought the books and yes super crazy! It's 985 WITHOUT TAX which only included 4 books and the 6 access codes needed. Read the fine print. It includes only the REQUIRED BOOKS IN THAT 985 dollar package not all the books that are listed there which I didn't realize when I went and bought the package

It comes with the 6 access codes

The fundamentals book

Medsurge book

Pharmacology

and the the psychiatric book

So the calculate with confidence, Davis drug guide, iv solutions, nursing diagnosis handbook, Mosby's manual of diagnostic lab tests are needed and we have required reading from then that we were supposed to be working on now, but not included in the bundle! I paid 1006 for that package after taxes and still need a lot more books! I'm pretty frustrated actually because I thought that package would include all that since the flyer has pictures of fall those books! NOOOO it doesn't.. and when I came home after spending that much money and expecting so many books I was crying when I only saw 4 books...hahaa so uve been warned.

When I searched into what happened it makes since but sucks

So if u were to buy the 6 access codes on evolve alone it comes to 691.. That's without any books

So that's where they throw In the 40% discount by piecing it all together as a bundle. 691 plus paying 200 for a used fundamentals book elsewhere, about 200 for the medsurge one and almost 100 each for the psychiatric one and pharmacology one would add up to over what we pay for them in the bundle....

But we still need so many more which stinks so bad!

Make sense ?

At this point I really wish I would have paid the 691 on evolve and found the rest of the books used as low as possible and I think I would have come out only paying about 850 for everything instead of the 1000 so choose wisely I've seen the fundamentals books for as low as 30 and the medsurge go for 80!

I can't return it now because I opened it already:/

My bundle came with Calculate with Confidence and the Mosby book.

Also, did you get an email with the link to upload the documents to Certified Profile? I've successfully uploaded all my docs and have a "compliant" status. I'm just confused on what you're having trouble with.

OMG!! Hmm... well this sucks. That is a lot of money for books. But will have to be done.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also, regarding the document uploading to Certified Profile. Yes, I got an email and uploaded my documents.

I would add certified profile to your contact list using the previous email invite for your background check. Check your SPAM folder. Contact Gateway if you don't find anything. The email for the document upload comes from Certified Profile - not Gateway.

Hope you find it.

Rachel: your package came with the calculate with confidence and the Mosby actual books or online books? For the 985 package? Mine only came with the 4 actual books and the 6 access codes.. I'm so confused

Also I never received the evite for the documents at all. I added them to my contact list and everything back on December 9th..

My package came with 4 physical books and 8 eBooks. That's weird that you never received the evite. You did your background check and everything, right?

Yes, my background went through perfectly.

I've reached out to school and nothing

Also reached out to certified profile.com and they are closed until Monday:/

I got the code from my statues page and just went to the website and did it that way...

Darn. Go on the site where you did your background check and sign in and click on the to-do list tab. Is anything there when you do that? I'm sorry you're having issues!
