You have to order them at the information session and pick them up later at the store.

Unfortunately they make you have coursepoint. I'm sorry!

I don't read the book to learn the material. So for most classes, I didn't use the book. You need the fundamentals book but you should be able to find it used. We didn't have the med math book, so I don't know if you need it. The patho book is needed for quizzes but you can get it used. Health assessment was literally not opened. I would recommend looking on amazon and textbookrush.com for any that you want to get!

Study! If you work, take the first week of class off. Read only if that's how you study (for lecture) and read for lab. Get a planner!! You will probably have less money to be honest. But you can work a little if you spend your time wisely. Overall, keep up with deadlines. A lot of your points in lab will be all or nothing for assignments, so do them absolutely correct. You will be fine if you spend the time on it and try your best!

You can get in with a 3.0!

You'll be fine with a 4.0! That's what I had. I'm not sure about whether you can delay your acceptance. They will probably have you reapply for the Spring semester. But you'll be a sure thing! Don't be anxious, seriously! Have some fun and get some sleep. After you get in, that will disappear!

Keep your resume very plain- black and white. Include all jobs and experience as your main priority. Awards/club memberships/leadership experience helps too

Have everyone you know read your essay. Hours help but so does gpa! I would focus on having some fun before you start nursing school!!

Tristin, we had people with a 2.8 get in

I can only speak for myself, and I have a 4.0 with no retakes. But I have several friends that got in for this semester with GPAs lower than a 3.0.

Have you guys heard anything about scholarships? Like how likely we are to get them?

Ah okay! That makes sense about the physical!

I had to have 2 varicella vaccinations for UAB as a pre-nursing student, so I'm hoping that is enough. We have to start our Hepititis vaccines before we start, but we don't have to have them all completed. My blazernet still says pre-nursing!

I don't think we are required to wear business casual to the session next week, but I am still going to. Want to start with a good impression!

Yay!! I'm so happy you got in. I have heard that you can get a lot of the books on eBay and sites like that. I have a friend that is a third-semester right now, so she is super helpful. I know that we have to buy the scrubs, a lab coat, and a polo shirt. Apparently we will never wear the polo shirt, so don't worry about getting the khakis and brown/black shoes until you actually have to wear them. I'm stressed about the immunizations! I want a list that just says everything I need to have but I can't find one.
