Hey Ruby2623, I am reading the threads just like you. It seems the one that keeps on coming up is the "Littmann Classic IISE". Some people have said the "lightweight" is not the one to get because the...
Thank you irinasal and frida26 for your informative posts! :) I searched the Littmann stethoscopes, but I just don't know which one to get. I wish they had given us a model number or something. At...
They have the first bundle ready? What's included in it (the two lists from orientation or are there more books)? I don't think we'll need it all for the first year. I heard you actually end up using...
You can get in without taking all the co-reqs, but you have a better chance of getting in if you've taken all of them. I was in the same situation two years ago wondering if I should apply without...
Does anyone know if Truman has the FINAL BOOK LIST ready? I have been calling the Nursing Department for the last couple of days and no one has been answering and I also called the main school number...
Hey Frida26, I also called the nursing department today at 11:30 a.m. and spoke with the department secretary and she said: NO UNINALYSIS & NO CBC. So, the info they had originally given out at...
@Ruby2623 I've received one e-mail since the orientation. I actually just linked my ccc.edu e-mail to my yahoo.com e-mail so it automatically forwards it to my yahoo e-mail. Yea, you should try to fix...
Did you receive the e-mail? I got an e-mail today at 4:06 p.m. from the nursing secretary and she included the booklist on there and also wrote, "A urinalysis is not a clinical requirement." I...
@Kmuellfa You're right. The textbooks are a rip-off. I'm getting them online. I don't really care because the major one we'll be using is the Fundamentals book. The other ones seem somewhat...
@Ruby2623: That's exactly what I thought. If they've had such a good reputation and passing scores, why couldn't they just compile it in a better way. I mean, we DIDN'T EVEN get the complete book...
The Nursing Orientation at Truman was such a mess. My God, they're so darn disorganized. I'm really scared that it'll be like this for the next two years and we'll all just go crazy. What did you all...
Is the "Fundamentals Success" by Patricia M. Nugent (2nd Edition)? That's the only one that came up when I searched it. Also, is it part of the package that's required or something that's just really...
Another tip about the Compass exam: take it at Wright because they don't have a time limit. I don't know about the other CCCs. You can have all the time in the world to go over your answers and this...
The instructors for Nursing 101 are: DAY: Kipnis Romba Preston Murphy NIGHT: Huda Harmon I've heard (from a person who heard from a person) that Preston is also
Passing rate is 100%. Graduation rate: don't know percent, but people who are not cut out for it drop out WAY before graduation. I got accepted into Truman for this
Thanks! Which HESI and NCLEX books did you guys have to get or which ones would you recommend? Is this the ISBN for the Fundamentals of Nursing (1605474657) ? Is this the ISBN for the Med-Surg book...
Congrats g1984 on being in the program already! I'm glad to hear positive things about Truman. I'm starting to feel really good about this. I already have all the info you linked me to, but I just...
