MUSC ABSN Spring 2015

lrbersamina · Nov 2, 2014

Ok thank you to both of you George David Smith and Moca Poca. I'm mailing out my payment Monday morning, actually it will be in the mail tomorrow but it won't go anywhere until Monday. So yeah I'll just leave it blank like George said.

Congratulations bbread, welcome to the TEAM! You will absolutely LOVE Charleston!

To answer your questions:

#1: Charleston DOES have reliable public transportation; HOWEVER, your schedule will be very hit-and-miss so public transportation may not be your best option. On Monday & Tuesday you have class; Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday (2 of 3) you'll have your clinical & skills lab. You'll learn your days and times once you start class. I think you'll be absolutely fine on Mon/Tue, but those other days, not so much! I suggest carpooling on those days; I'm sure someone on your TEAM can help you out. You'll DEFINITELY need a car while you're in school.

#2: "Good but cheap"; unfortunately, those words do not go together in downtown Charleston. Here's my questions for you. Are you married/single? Do you want a place of your own or would you be willing to have a roommate? If you don't mind having a roommate; then it's "VERY POSSIBLE" you can find affordable housing within a few miles of MUSC. If you don't want a roommate, then you'll need to look in the "West Ashley" area. This is fairly close to the school and pretty affordable. The "cheapest" places to stay in Charleston are North Charleston (NO-NO-NO), Summerville, and Goose Creek. I live in Goose Creek, it's about a 30 minute drive in the morning, Summerville's about 35-45, depending on traffic. Look in the today's online edition of the Charleston Post & Courier for apartment rentals.

Please let us know if there's ANYTHING we can do for you.

Take care!

V/r,

Joseph

thanks so much Joseph!!! am grateful.

so i was considering using the public transport for the few weeks prior to the time my car gets to Charleston. the cost for transporting it is ridiculous but i guess i dont have an option.

to answer your question, yes!! am married but i will be coming to charleston alone (my wife will be visiting from time to time).

AND IF I MAY ASK, WILL OUR CLINICALS BE FAR FROM CHARLESTON?? and WHEN DO WE START THE CLINICALS??

thanks

Has anyone who was an alternate heard anything? Just trying to be patient and figure out money just in case I get a spot!

Who's all going to orientation!?

Baffy · Nov 4, 2014

My option of coming to Charlton is open once again...the program I was banking on here has been hit with big scandal with directors and Dean of the school quitting and resigning. Can those going to the orientation share info on here please?!

I'll share all I know!

bbread, you're clinicals are VERY close to MUSC. You're 1st clinical rotation starts around the 3rd week of school. You're only assigned one patient during your first semester.

Navyforlife94 · Nov 5, 2014

ALTERNATES, stand by! I spoke with Ms. Long yesterday and she said they're going to start notifying some of you. They want to try to get you guys to the orientation on Friday.

Good Luck!
