I have been accepted to Merritt College ADN for fall 2012. Any others that have been accepted as well?

Any thoughts after orientation?

I am excited and scared at the same time!

Hey! I feel much better now after the orientation. So many bad comments was giving me hiccups, but I am happy now. :) How about you? We can exchange email/phone for the future :)

Hey Chris, thanks for coming and helping all of us! I kinda recognized you (the only guy hehe), I was in the front row. A long orientation, but the students comments were the most important part of it.

thanks for being so informative Chris!

Were you guys offered the book bundle last year too? I'd probably have to get it before starting the Nursing Success in the summer

we were offered the bundle. I selected to buy my books through amazon though I think it came out cheaper and that way you only have to pay for the books you will use this semester. We will also be holding a raffle for used books and uniforms during the first few weeks of school where you can get extra material for very cheap.

I too purchased my books through amazon and saved a lot of money doing so. And the bundle doesn't include the recommended books. :)

Did the text books you bought through Amazon include the electronic version?

I bough a used Fundamentals review and rational book and the nursing notes were missing. Are those really helpful?

I have the Med-surg ebook and I don't like it much. We didn't have the option for ebooks, however our class as a general consensus prefers actual text books.

Nursing Notes can be useful.

the second page wouldn't scan clearly but it goes over Tier 1 & 2 of the CDC Precautions.

The instructors told us that we don't wear scrubs. What uniform do you use?

Our uniforms are from Dove. They come in zippered or button form, we will have some uniforms at the raffle as well.

6. The fundementals book you will likely be using the Perry and Potters. The Chapters we covered was: (1,2,3,9,13,14,16,17,18,19,20,21,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,50)

hi chris

first of all i cant thank you enough for everything you've done. its really nice of you to do all this for us :bow: thank you! now when you said the fundamentals class covered these chapters only, does that mean that we dont have to read the other chapters on the book? will we be tested only on the chapters covered? i just got mines today (8th ed) and im usually pretty good at reading and studying but all 1296 pages over the summer plus planning to take the summer class and preparing for testing out of ddc test along with the other things to do before deadline will be extremely hard(maybe one reasons why some students dont show up the first day :lol2:)
