I found this post from a student who graduated two years ago: Random tips: -Don't buy the Pharm book you will receive ALL the notes, same with Med Surg I,II,III. . but, the Med Surg book is good for referencing for clinical paperwork -You will HATE care plans/maps (invest in a complete care planning book. . heck, just write your plans at the bookstore and never waste the 40 bucks on the book) -Go ahead and read up some on Fluid and Electrolyte Balances -Take the Hurst Review a few months after you start the program. . it will help you through. -I found some test questions came directly from the Saunder's NCLEX review book. (Blue book) -Don't pick your study partner until a couple weeks in. . when you start to catch on to personalities -The Med School cafeteria is better than the hospital cafeteria -There will be 50 of you and only one printer. . be nice. Have Fun!

Thanks, Monilu. My wife works for a non-profit so her income isn't an issue. OLOL says it is not sure if the WIA grant will go through and I don't qualify for Hearts because I live in Los Angeles. We'll see!

i just got some info regarding the first two classes: nurs 1110 and nurs 1310 n 1110 is an on-line class and it is an academic skills class that is only worth 1 hour. n 1310 is pharmacology: we will be receiving reading assignment shortly .

I think it is one OR the other. Who cares about the $15/day? A least you have the $13,000 school paid for. I heard a rumor that I make too much money to qualify for WIA so my wife and I may have to pay for school out of pocket.

It stands for the Workforce Investment Act. It is to fund career changes and job retraining. We will find out if we qualify at orientation.
