  4. CVS Minute Clinic for physical?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, there is no outside affiliation. It's a HMO so everything is done within the organization. I'll be out around $150 compared to $10, once you factor in the eye exam as well. Oh well....

  5. CVS Minute Clinic for physical?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the encouragement. I was hoping to avoid it due to cost mainly. I pay $5 copay for my regular MD and the Minute Clinic is around $80. The MinClin is also about 20 miles away. My...

  6. CVS Minute Clinic for physical?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the details! I was hoping this is what it would be like. I"m guessing they might have been even more thorough on a kids sports physical than just a basic exam to enter a college. As...

    I'm hoping I don't have to get undressed. I'm a little more on the chonky side since quarantine too. Not obese, but I could stand to lose 20 lbs now. Are they just checking vitals and

  8. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca posted a topic in General Students

    Is there any use of an IPad Mini during clinicals? I'm just curious if this type of device is even allowed on the floor or do people use their phones to look up information, etc? I know usage of...

  9. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    Thank you everybody for your advice. I think for now, I'm going to stick w/ a small 4x6 or 2x4 notepad in my pocket. I'll see how that goes from there. A notepad is worth a dollar or two and if I...

  11. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    You're not kidding. I've seen people walk out with like a stack of disposable drinking cups because they were in the room. ? I'm pretty sure I'm going to just get an iPad for class only. Paper pad...

  13. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    @bitter_betsy You have the dream line-up of Mac! ? WOW!! Thank you also for your advice. I'm still going to think about Air vs. Pro, but I'm leaning more toward the Pro. @TheDudeWithTheBigDog has...

  14. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    I really want the Pro! The 12.9 is really appealing because I do like a bigger screen. I just feel guilty because it's going to be a gift and compared to the Air, it will be around $600-700 more for...

  15. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    I actually have not started yet, so I'm not sure what the deal will be using the clinical's computers/charting system. I'm attempting to prepare in advance. ? I've been "gifted" a choice of an iPad...

  16. IPad Mini for clinicals?

    polycalca replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    I also thought it's probably not allowed (iPad), but I have heard that students use their phones to look up stuff. What you said makes total sense in regard to stepping away and looking up meds,...

    Hi All, I didn't see any other threads for classes @ SRJC, so I'm hoping somebody might know the answer to my question. I have to take a pharmacology class at SRJC and saw there are 2 instructors...
