You might want to check out Nike's website. You can custome order shoes from there website. I'm was just looking at pair of Jordan Team Elite low top basketball shoes that are pretty much white on white customized. They look pretty nice...but pricey of course. I'm on the search also...start my clinicals next semester. good luck

Hi everyone, I'm in the night/weekand program at JSCC (first semester) and it seems to me depending on the availibility/location of staff/faculty will depend on where classes and clinicals will be held. I would assume that the day program has more flexibility in the scheduling of their classes. I would highly recommend that if you have completed all your gen. ed. classes and are just waiting to get in the program (you just have the nursing classes to take) that you start now studying your math. It will definately take some of the pressure off of you when you take your pharmocology class. Med. terminaology would also be a good alternative to study while you waiting to get in. Good luck to everyone.

I like Gateway also. My desktop is a Gateway and its been great. I know everyone has a story but all the Dell's I've had experiences with and others I know that have had a Dell have had all kinds of problems with them. The one I use at work has been a real pain in the *** also. Their laptops might be another story though. I guess I'll prob be doing some shopping this weekand.

Where are you hoping for our classes to be held...the main or shelby campus?

I'm debating on getting a laptop or a pda not sure which yet. Everything is so freaking expensive. Where did you get your laptop from?

I think that the reason things were kind of vague is because they want to get an idea as to where the majority of the class lives in relation to the campuses to decide where the classes will be held to be more flexible and accomodating for the students. I do wish the St. Vincent's people could have given us a better idea as to how the clinical will be held. I'm guessing they expect a lot of people won't be there by the 2nd term so they'll wait until then since there aren't any clinicals until then anyway. What did you think about that Evolve program (not the presentation of it)? I thought it was pretty cool. Pro's - quick access to information in texts and other resources, highlighting, cross-referencing, and ability to add and make notes for studying, and not having to lug all those darn books around if you use a laptop/notebook. Con's - All the texts have to be bought new in the bundle/package which will definately cost more, limited only to Mosby publications, and I don't know if it would be worth it anyhow if you were not going to use it on a laptop/notebook which I don't have at this time.:typing Soooo......what are your thoughts...lol. I haven't actually had the chance to check out the Evolve website yet so all that was just what I could remember off the top of my head. Also, what the heck do these uniforms look like?

Congrats to everyone who made it. I got accepted into the St. Vincents part-time progam. I guess I'll be seeing everyone on the 15th then. I'm lookiing forward to getting started.

The last I checked at the bookstore on the shelby campus they were out of the Med. Term. Text. and they run about $70. I have not had the chance to check other locations.

my guess is that they will weed people out by GPA

Hope your test went well. I have a cpl coming up also.

wow, just two weeks before classes start. i was told that once accepted there would be some type of orientation class to inform you of what type of supplies/equipment that will be needed for the program. do you know if thats is true or not? if that is not the case could you give us an idea as to what some the things we will be needing to aquire so we wont' have to find out at the last minute. or should we not even worry about it until the classes start. i could be getting ahead of myself here.

I understand completely. I am in the same boat. I work full-time, have a family, and already have a bachelors degree. I am currently taking Microbiology this summer and once I get into the program all i'll have are the nursing classes to focus on. The waiting is driving me nuts:banghead: but it will be all worth it in the end.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought the Vangonotes since it wasn't that expensive. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet but I'm sure I'll get plenty of use from them. Thanks again for you info.:)

Are you stressing out already? How many pts do you have? I hope to get in this fall also for the part-time program. I'm guessing we won't find out about acceptance until around the end of June or early July. I heard it takes four to six weeks to find out. Do you have your pre-reqs completed?

Hi everyone, I just jumped on this thread and would like to say congrats to everyone that passed micro. I've just completed my first week of Micro. I hope to be accepted into a ADRN program for the fall. I have a quick question. I have read how a lot of students are using the Micro textbook by Tortora,Funke, and Case and I am wondering if anyone has downloaded the audiobook for that text from Itunes and is it worth using? I am not using the same textbook but was thinking about downloading it from Itunes to supplement my studies. Any info would be much appreciated :bowingpur
