What was it like? There is a good job in my area with the hours I need...but just now sure how the work will be.

best deal on steths I found was medisave.net or .com...engrave was free and I got it in like 4 days! I bought the Littman Classic II and I am very pleased. I had never taken a bp or put a steth in my ears before in my life and I got it on the first t...

Congrats to all--huge class, great to see you all at orientation last Tuesday night! Just wanted to list this information I have found, may be helpful to some. --best deal on stethoscopes I have found is medisave.net (I bought the Littmann Classic I...

Hey All, What are the uniform requirements for Jeff State? What do you need besides clothing and shoes, ie stethoscope et? I am thinking if I start buying stuff this summer, it will be easier on the wallet than all at once!

yeah, no take home quiz for the part time oreintation

I had my first Hep b on Thursday..heads up, it made me really tired the next day. I am very active (a runner) very unusual for me to come home from work and nap, but I was that wiped out. I have no idea how much the cost was, they are going to bill ...

That is correct, I went to Jefferson County last week. They only have the records IF you had the shots at that facility. I have an appointment tomorrow to start my Hep b series/tetanus and titer...I will post how much it cost at my family practitione...

ya know, just not clear on if we need the steth for first sem..I started reading the Health Assessment book and it seems reasonable that we could start practicing with it for some stuff...even just on each other.

apparently it is hard to get used nursing books because students usually keep them for reference rather than sell them back...so I found best to go ahead and just suck it up and buy new. I STILL have to find time to sit down and list what is in the b...

please do...I'm in same boat, have bachelors, no financial aid for JS!

my fall class schedule just came in the mail...looks like part-time program, our first two classes may be on Saturday, wonder if that means we will get to do a clinical during the first semester during the week....does anyone know??

You say "Shelby" for part-time....it is my understanding that our classes can be at either campus for the part-time program, is that what you understood? Orientation is at Jeffersosn campus.

nice to see some more thirty somethings starting nursing school....wasn't that a show!

Do you think you will be able to work after the first year...as has been mildly suggested? or is it just too much? That is my major concern with the program, not being able to work.

finally got back in touch with the lady who called me from JS. She was an adviser on the Jefferson campus. She said they had a "timing issue" and were having to call people to offer them places in the part-time program. She did not say if this was th...

was the call from some lady with a strange name from the "student activities department" or something like that....someone left me a message. I have been trying all morning to call back but have not been able to get anyone. This lady is not my advise...

yea, I'd like to know too....I may go ahead for next year.

If anyone gets their letter this week PLEASE POST!!!!! and the orientation dates or anything else important in the letter!!! I will be out of town for a WEEK and will not have anyone checking my mail. I will be able to check email....So if the letter...

You can sign up for the Hoover Fire Dept CPR class the first Saturday of Aug on the City of Hoover website. I DID GET A CONFIRMATION email regarding my registration, so you may want to check. [email protected] is the email of the person who re...

i found this on the city of hoover website... the city of hoover fire department conducts cpr training classes on the first, second and third saturdays of each month. these classes are open to the general public and are held at fire station seven, lo...

I know there are some cheaper ways to do it...I think it is a convenience factor to go to the Red Cross and take there class that is pre-arranged and scheduled months in advance on a certain day. PLUS some of us have to do it on a Saturday.

I bought the book "calculate with confidence" on ebay..an old copy and just started it. I also bought The series Nursing Made Incredibly Easy in "intro to Pharmacology" and "Health Assessment". I have started working the math book and am picking thro...

do the shoes have to be solid white? Do they have to have a back? are the Dankso professional clog or the birkenstock with the back acceptable?

Are you still in the program? what else did you need besides uniforms? what are the shoe requirement?

how do they run...true to size, big etc??? Are you selling it or giving it away?
