Well if that were the case, then they should probably stop putting up lists that have all the books we need to buy. There's really no reason to not have the books anyway. It's not like they'll kick us...

It's Russell : D Let's see. There should be a bundle of 2 for the Kozier Fundamentals book. For the Health Assessment book, there's 2 as well that's bundled (or should be) and a handbook similar to...

1) Mosby's Medical, Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary (7th Edition)--Amazon.com $33.05 (This is the 8th or 9th edition, so it's newer than the one they have listed) 2) Medical-Surgical Nursing:...

That's a good question. I'd probably just bring the book and a notebook. It's really going to be an orientation to the class, and we've been told my other students that they really don't do much in...

Yes, we have health assessment on Monday, foundations tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday. They wrote the schedules on the board, and you can also see by going to the program on the San Jac...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Ugh, I have the Nurse Practice Act book. It's not even a book, just goes over a bunch of the codes that nearly put me to sleep at orientation. I don't think you should worry about the version you...

Yeah, that seems to be the rumor floating around. Honestly, not that big of a deal. Do A&P in 5 weeks and you typically have an exam a week. 2 if you're absolutely lucky : p I've not received an...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Howdy! I'm absolutely positive you can get most of the books for around 400 or less. Do not not not settle for San Jac's prices. There's still 2 weeks left before we're going to need any of this, so...

Haha Melissa. Just got around to reading that. Playin' it smooth : D Just wanted to let you guys know that if you check Half-Price Books, you can find deals. I found my first one! The Med/Surg book...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
I think she's going to do both, then find the stuff we need to know off the syllabus and make note cards from there. Sounds like a good plan actually. Assuming that's what you said Melissa :
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
I dunno. It does seem like a lot, and 4 chapters per week sounds more reasonable. But that Fundamentals book is huge, so I'm not sure. Guess we'll find out in two
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Don't feel so bad. I only have 2 right now and feel like a serious slacker at the moment. I think the class you're thinking of was the Foundations class (using the Fundamentals book, confusing names...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Well 2 of the classes are only 8 weeks long, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'm going to carry 4 notebooks for the whole semester. I'd go with whatever you feel comfortable with. Very much a...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
They just give out a very general overview of the chapters. Not really necessary I think. That's also why I'm not printing them. Been in school long enough to know how classes work :

Before anybody gets there, I don't believe that the e-mail from Amanda is for us. I think we'd need to know who our instructors were before we could evaluate them :
