Let's see. I'm buying one of the sets of our clinical scrubs (which I get to pay 10 dollars more for, woo!). The transition lab pack since I already have most of the instruments needed. And then I'm...

16 more days until I have to spend 300 dollars. Woo? And Melissa, I'm not positive, but I think that as soon as our grades were posted, they may have been sent over to the nursing office. I'm gonna'...

They took like 4 from me. But it could have been worse. You could have went to donate blood the day after they drew blood. Though to be fair, I did get an orange juice and some cookies out of it. I'm...

I haven't bought mine yet. I'm saving up the whole 40 dollars I need to get them. Let me know if you like yours and I might get the ones you have. Also, this physical form is a joke. My doctor has...

I think it will be at the orientation when they'll give us our schedules. So I wouldn't worry about registering for anything. My card was healthcare provider, so I feel bad for those of you seemingly...

Oh definitely. It's not hard to get a job if you have your foot in the door. I'm volunteering at St. John's and I'm doing my best to let the people who make decisions know that I'll be looking for a...

Always a big plus if you're thinking about doing that : ) Melissa, I meant to tell you earlier that I found the Foundations of Nursing book (the whole bundle actually) for 120-ish on Amazon. Took some...

I'm job hunting my last semester (don't wait till you've graduated, start early). Even though we're told that the job market is pretty solid, there are a lot of stories running around about how it's...

You can register for classes, just not nursing classes. So if you're thinking of taking a PE class, you'll be able to register as long as no holds are on your record (you can find out by going into...

Hmm, I don't see a hold on my record. That's odd. . . What cards did you order? I'm looking at getting the Mosby cards. It has like 2100 drugs on all of the cards. It's also 40 dollars :

It's the TB titer. The doctors love to call it PPD though. They actually did my blood draw today and will let me know the results on Monday. It's the PPD that's putting me in a hole with all this. I...

It's not like we have to study 2000 drugs or anything (that's what Amanda Warren the retention specialist told us yesterday). Walk in the park : p So I went for my physical today. Bad move on my part...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
I don't think you'll have any trouble with that. The PE classes are pushovers in that you can get A's very, very, very easily. The humanities classes are also pushovers when it comes to materials. I...

I know the terminology got me when I first started doing medical jobs. But when you're immersed in it, it becomes easier to understand and use it. I can understand about not wanting to get back in it...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah, that's what she was telling us. But she also said we would have a heads-up on the people who took it in a normal semester. Just because we're more used to seeing the class go by faster. I'll be...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
If you look in the catalog, it shows you the classes we'll be taking. The sections are all going to be the same regardless. So all you need, for example, is RNSG 1160. Don't worry about the section...

There's an online bookstore where you put in what semester you're going to take the classes in, then find the class, and it brings up what books the instructor wants you to buy. Spoke too soon about...
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
Okay, so I could only find the ISBN for the Nursing Foundations bundle. For some glorious reason, the online bookstore refuses to post ISBN numbers, so I'm having to hunt the publishers sites....
Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing
I made an 88, so I essentially had to make a 73 or so and above on the final to make an A. I didn't miss number 2 though, which I found odd since a lot of others missed it. Usually I'm the one making...
