Sorry for the delayed response.... As far as the books, ya you need to get all of them but the good thing is they are good for both years. The NUR 106A class is your skills applications class which is required but the 199 Strategies for Success cla...

Actually we did have one person drop for personal reasons so keep your fingers crossed. The orientation is very intimidating and shows just how involved the program is which might not work for someone....good luck.

Congrats to all of you having been accepted for fall term. :yeah:I totally understand what your feeling, anxiety level, nervousness, frustrated about the unknown, etc. I've survived and you will too. I'm getting ready to start my 2nd year at CCC so i...

There are 40+ locations in Oregon that offer the Certified Nursing Assistant training such as community colleges, nursing homes, hospitals.... Check out www.osbn.state.or.us and check out the CNA section. Like the previous poster said, CNA=CNA it d...

Gotcha beat....try chocolate Brown Cherokee tops and bottoms.

If that was for me...I'll graduate in June 2010. (ADN)

I'm one of those who have to wait and it's killing me. I have orientation on the 9/18 and first class on 9/29. We got our letters in early June.....

actually my school does require a watch with a second-hand. I've always used digital or i'm trying to find a analog-digital watch w/a second hand.

Here's another that I've used a lot. http://www.printfree.com/Calendars.htm good luck

CONGRATS ! zukki38. See ya at orientation.

Did everyone get registered in time? It looks like a few didn't register in time so some of the alternates might get a spot after all. Keeping my fingers crossed for the alternates. Any first-year students on the forum ? Any second-year students wa...

I'm so glad they are holding your spot NicoleInHisWill so you can get your immunization paperwork sorted out/turned in. I've got a couple kids who just started school too and boy am I glad that they started before I did, what caos would that be, lol...

Having been an EMT-I for 12 years and a nursing student (in a few weeks), I would think that your EMT-B is quite a step down skills-wise from your ADN? Your so close to your ADN, I would focus on that. I would think that the ADN would stand out far ...

The pulse at Target is $149 for 1GB and 199 for 2GB

Even though your response wasn't for a question I posed, your reply was very informative and I will keep it on hand for when I need a care plan such as this. Thank you very much for your input.

I choose to get Essentials of Pathophysiology by Porth too. It was a recommended book on our first semester book list. After reading and getting into it for about a month now, (prior to school starting) I like it. I'm using the learning objectives...

Some community colleges offer classes for continuing education. You might want to start there....

I have experience with Taber's and have had no issues with it. My suggestion is to get your hands on them and flip through them to see which one you think will work for you. Best of luck.

I hadn't heard of them either so this is what I found.... http://coe.jmu.edu/learningtoolbox/cornellnotes.html

I have 11 more out of the 13 required to purchase. The difficult part is that I don't get my financial aid funds until after the 30-day wait....so its all out-of-pocket (which is already empty). Yikes

Those are amazing links. :yeah:Thank you very much for thinking of us (students), lol

I have to wait until Sept 18th for orientation then we don't start Fall term until Sept 29th....Ug!

FYI, just talked with the office and we are not going to be able to register until probably 2nd or 3rd week of August. She did tell me that they are down to alternate #5 so far.....

CONGRATS NicoleInHisWill !!!!!!! Yeah, I'm excited to finally find someone who will be in the class with me. Now the long wait until the syllabus comes out and orientation.

Most NS's require the A&P to have been completed prior to applying. When I took my A&P class we got to work with cadavers which I feel was more educating compared to models but cadavers are not for everyone.
