Muhlenberg Fall 2011 class - feedback on admission

Published

Hi everyone --

I'm taking the TEAS V and crit thinking exam next week. Was just wondering from anyone whose applied for Fall 2011 if they have already gotten an acceptance letter, and if so - how long it took from your test date?

Also - anyone currently in the Generic program have feedback on how well they like it? Looking forward to getting started...

Thanks in advance!

Hi WCD,

How are you doing? Did you buy books for NURM 119? If yes then, did you buy it from the school's bookstore? I am not able to figure out the ISBN, author and the name of the books. I did try to see in school's website though. I think we need 2 books - fundamental of nursing and nutrition. I am planning to buy online. Do you know what book we need? I really appreciate if you reply back this message. I still can't PM you.

Thank you so much.

Hey there --

Yes it's two books for NURM 119.. here they are:

Taylor, Carol Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Nursing Care, North American Edition it's ISBN 9780781793834 - I linked it from Amazon or you can get it thru the school's bookstore, Rittenhouse via the school website

Dudek, Susan G. Nutrition Essentials for Nursing Practice -- this one is ISBN 9780781784542 -- same deal - my link is via Amazon, but you get it via Rittenhouse too

Rittenhouse's link is http://www.rittenhousebookstore.com/ and you just put the word "muhlenberg" in the school program ID box.

Also -- if you like e-books better - the Fundamentals book (which is about 8 pounds :yawn: is available via http://www.kno.com for the Ipad and PC -- they are a TON cheaper and have frequent discount codes -- you can use kno4all766 to take $10 off any purchase there.

Hope this all helps!

Are you taking Chemistry- Health Science this fall? I am taking it and trying to buy the book. Just wanted to make sure I buy the correct book. Is it Chemistry by Timberlake, 11th Edition? The price is outrageous. If you are not taking Chemistry then please disregard this e-mail. I wrote Prof. about the getting the previous edition..haven't gotten his reply back yet.

Thanks.

Hey SG -

Yeah, I was there for NURM119 orientation. They took attendance and handed out the syllabus, and introduced several of the instructors. The main prof running the orientation was Prof. Millan - I'd email her for a copy of the syllabus and any last min info to get you caught up.

In terms of the Chem class, yes - I'm taking that as well - the Timberlake book is so expensive it's ridiculous :uhoh3: - the reason is, it's a custom package for the UCC Chem department... complete BS. I emailed my prof and he told me he doesn't choose to use any of the supplementary content, so to buy it wherever I could get the current version cheapest (for me, e-book all the way)

Yes, I am also shocked to hear the price of chemistry book. My Prof. wanted me to buy the newer edition. Such a burden for a poor student like me. I am still not decided what I am going to do. I will probably will buy:(, and by the time I want to sell this book, it will be less that $10. How you going to do your lab assignment in e-book?
