MCC - Nursing Students Starting 2009

Published

Hey everyone!

Thought I would start a thread where we can keep up with all the fun new and exciting things coming our way! We'll get to meet each other in a few days (May 20th)! So, how shall we identify ourselves to one another? Hum...

Anyway, look forward to meeting you all! I'm excited about the Nursing Orientation!

It was used but looks brand new. I opened my Fundamentals of Nursing. It is the heaviest book ever made- I think the pages are made of lead. It is a used book too but is perfect. It had one wrinkled page in the front because there is a CD in there.

Has anyone else ordered their scrubs from Dove yet? I ordered mine the 7th of July and decided to email them last night because I still hadn't received my order yet. Well, they lost my order! They billed me but never filled my order. So, I had to reorder and was promised the scrubs would be here by next Monday the 27th.

I ordered them about a month ago and they only took about 3 days to arrive. I was lucky! They fit pretty well based on the size Dove told me to order. I just have to sew on the patches. I just got my stethoscope the other day too!

I am just waiting on my titer results and my TB test to be read and then I am FINALLY ready! (Oh except I have to shell out the money for books!). August is fast approaching! How are my other August start people doing????!

I ordered my stethoscope from allheart.com on the 17th and according to Fedex tracking it was delivered to the Roseville Post Office today (the 21st) and they will be delivering it on the 23rd? I thought that was kind of wierd that Fedex brought it half way and then the USPS took over. So if anyone orders anything from allheart expect it to take a week or so.

I went to DOTS on Dequindre last Friday for my drug screen as someone on here recommended. It was quick and easy.

Here's a Littman site with heart and lung sounds to listen to.

I went to DOTS last friday also! They did mention I was the second person to come in for school that day. I highly reccommend that place to everyone! Concentra was going to charge 55 bucks and DOTS only charges 22.50!

You know whats really wierd? DOTS told me on the phone it was $22 for the test and when I went in the guy said, " That will be $20." Everywhere I go, I get charged less than I am told on the phone.

I ordered another pair of scrub pants because I wanted them maybe a little roomier on some days... LOL... and I can fit the second pair over the first pair. They were only 1 size larger. I got them in less than a week.

I got my blood work, TB, physical and my first hep shot done. Just waiting for that second shot.

I had both the hep shots (A & B... my insurance covered them, so why not!) and my tetorifice. I felt like crap for 2 straight days.

I have a friend that is buying me a scope as a gift. :) I feel lucky about that.

Nell found me books online, so I am glad I am getting them at a fraction of the cost... should have everything I need together shortly.

How late can we register for the October classes?? I want to pay for my August classes, but can't pay for all the classes at once. I figured I could disenroll from the October classes and reenroll after I get my financial aid if they would let me.

You can register until some day in october. It's the "last add date" in webadvisor when you look up classes to register for.

I didn't register for october yet because I didn't want to pay for them all at once. Im hoping my financial aid kicks in first. If I get some....

Awesome! Thank you so much for that information. That solves that problem for me. At the very least it will give me some extra time to pay for those classes.
