   I don't think that we have to wear our uniforms the first week until Th/F for clinical. The lab groups are meeting in the auditorium on Tuesday or Wednesday and I believe this is just a lecture. You can wear scrubs or your lab jacket when it says N...

   The assignment really isn't clear....I am going to do the exercises from pgs 24-27 and 114-116. The doc that was posted on sonisweb just says to complete the practice questions using dimensional analysis and lists the required reading. The handout...

   I bought some new books on amazon and the rest I bought used either on amazon or eBay. My Fundamentals of Nursing book is the 6th edition - I've started the reading assignments and found out that the pages do not match up after chapter 1 (grrrrr) bu...

   Just got my last few textbooks! I bought a lot of the books used/previous editions to save money. I hope the older edition books work out as far as reading assignments go! I haven't purchased a stethoscope yet. Any recommendations??

   I don't recall reading anything about a minimum TEAS score when applying. I know the CTCC require a 53.3 - I was accepted at BHSN and my TEAS score was in the 80s

   The second page of the checklist has three things: 1. Photo ID Badge - obtained 8/19 - 8/30 from the hospital security office on the main floor. Their hours are 8:30 - 3:30. 2. Student Uniforms - you should have received further info/instructions on...

   Welcome! I start the nursing program in the fall and did not take the TEAS at BHSN. I actually took the test in January in Springfield MA. I was undecided about applying or waiting a year and by the time I made up my mind all of the testing center...

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a quick tip... I order textbooks used from online when I can to try to save money. I've used eBay for books and other things and have never had a problem until recently. I ordered a textbook for a summer class at HC...

    If you already completed the series for Hep B once then you wouldn't redo it. I believe you would just need the titer done for school. Anyway that's my understanding of it but I am hardly an expert! Did your physician recommend repeating the serie...

    I'm in the same boat! I think I am more anxious about this OP than I was waiting for my acceptance letter. Hoping it arrives Monday.......

    I’ve finally decided to join the site after catching up on this thread and finding everyone’s post to be so informative! Like most of you, I am starting in the fall and I still have not received the OP. I honestly can’t imagine it taking this long!...
