I am a 60 year old male on disability and recently had a heart attack and some major back problems. I had to withdraw from school 7/8 of the way thru an ADN program. Should I try to go back or will my long term health and age keep me from acceptanc...

Hi all, I'm an older guy (mid-50s) in my last semester of nursing school, getting an ADN after already having got a BS, JD, and MBA years ago. This is my second career, after early retirement. I am divorced, my kids are grown, and I am free to travel...

Hi Dammy, I don't know. I haven't joined SNA :-) There are different COMMUNITIES on ecampus for ECC and Brookhaven, but I would think NLC and ECC would be pretty much the same and NLC people would have access to the ECC document ........... Richard

Hi again, The CD comes with the big hardcover book. I'm at ECC, by the way. Richard

Hi Modelmama, There are three med-surg books in the books, all related to Ignatavicius 6th ed. The Big hardcover book is ISBN 978-1-4160-3762-0, the big paperback (Study Guide) is 978-1-4160-5479-5, and the little paperback (Clinical Companion) is 9...

Hi all, I'm starting at el Centro College in Dallas this fall and orientation is tomorrow. Do I want to buy the whole box of first year books or only Potter/Perry 7th ed. and Ignatavicius 5th ed. (assuming there is no new edition)? Some people have...

Hi Oneday, A lot of it is in the COMMUNITY tab. At El Centro I have the ECC-AD NURSING community in my Community list. There's also a Brookhaven Nursing Community listed but I can't get there. I would think Northlake would use the ECC community st...

Hi Mom35! I don't know about you, but I plan on going home each night after orientation, so I figure if we need a form, they'll tell us on Tuesday, and I can bring it Wednesday! I am obsessing about this stuff way too much! Richard

There's definitely stuff that needs signatures but most of it seems to be left over from the Spring 09 classes. For instance, under RNSG 1423, Course Documents, the first thing is "ADN Forms" and it's a form we sign that says we will obey policies a...

Hi guys, I can't wait to see us all in our non-flattering scrubs! Mine have been sitting in the bag from Majors since the day after orientation ... now I'm afraid to look! Of course, I'm a guy, but we don't want our butts to look horrendously big ei...

Hi Chickpea, We got an email from Kanora about a stethoscope sale by the SNA, but today the SNA Community posting says it's been cancelled. Should we all be thinking about getting new stethoscopes, or is the WalMart one I got for HPRS1204 sufficient...

Hi All, This is sort of on topic, with all these hours that are not reflected in the number of credits ... I'm only taking 8 credits first semester because I already have all the support courses. Is that enough to get a Dart pass for El Centro? Do ...

Yes, i got them a while ago (at Majors) but i haven't really looked at them yet. I think I'll try to load the e-versions on my laptop this weekend. Are they running separate orientations? Richard

I haven't gotten anything from Kanora, but I did get an email from Dr. Branscome with information about RNSG1423 as follows: In Course Documents on eCampus check-out the classroom schedule. You will have class on Mon.(Sec.5110) or Thurs.(Sec. 5120). ...

HI all, No email yet, but when I went to eConnect this morning I was already registered for my RNSG classes, and I just paid my bill, which included about $20 in insurance. The two courses show up on eCampus as well, but nothing under Community. I'm...

I haven't received anything ewither (ECC Fall 09). I thought that July 21 was the day we were supposed to see something on eConnect about registering for classes, getting insurance, etc. There is a little more info on eCampus though. If you go in...

Thanks!

I don't know then. Good luck!

I took online Patho at ECC to have something to do while waiting to hear about admission to the nursing program. It was an HPRS course, and is not a requirement for the El Centro program, prereq or otherwise. I think there is an RNSG Patho as well, w...

Yeah I'm really looking forward to it.

Yup, that was me. I'm at El Centro.

mom35, who's your professor?

Hi mom35, I broke down and bought the book box when I went to pick up my scrubs yesterday. After the $80 Majors coupon and the $10 gift card for picking up the scrubs, the box was only $791 after tax. I think most of the stuff will be very useful o...

Hi mom35, I'm at Parkland too! I picked up my scrubs yesterday and bought my book box at Majors with the discount coupon. I'm excited and nervous! Here is Ms. Beecham's page on www.ratemyprofessors.com. http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.j...

We had the scrubs fitting for Fall 09 newbies on Tuesday. This year they're not using patches, the El centro logo etc are embroidered on. Majors has a contract with a local embroidery company. The book box (and online access) is $810, but Majors g...
