PBSC Fall 2012 hopefuls

Published

Hi everyone!! I probably am jumping the gun by posting this already but I'm too excited and just can't believe I'm finishing up my last semester of pre reqs for the program. I take my HESI on Feb 16th. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone has also taken the hesi and what would be the best study guide to get. Here's to hoping for a great fall!!! :D

Blackboard actually says we can't log in until the day classes begin. This policy changed sometime last year. August 23rd is the day :)

Just an FYI, I was able to get on blackboard the other day, but of course there is absolutely nothing on there.

Hey anyone, and especially MZpinkDior or JoannaFiore, anybody have any ideas on the ebooks listed? I know you can choose between Tabers Cyclopedic Dictionary Ebook or regular, or the nursing diagnosis ebook? anyone get these? Girls who are already in school, would you recommend them or is it better to have the book in your hand?

That would be great:) I'm also debating the ebooks. I know someone who has the dictionary as an ebook and loves it. I will probably get that for sure.
