   VC and Elizabeth, I sent the contact list out to your emails. If you can't see it, check your spam folder. Also if you have any troubles opening it, just let me know and I can resend.

   From what I can tell, no one has bought the book. Word on the street (from past students) is that you don't even open the book. I gather the online portion is sufficient enough so I think you're safe to try and save some money. :) Oh and thanks for y...

   Hey for those of you not on FB, I’m putting together a contact sheet to make it easier for us to get in touch with one another. I thought it might come in handy for carpooling, switching schedules or forming study groups. If you’re interested, messag...

   Kate, sorry to hear that the class was full! I accepted yesterday afternoon and just checked my email but there was no response yet. I wonder if there is more than one hybrid course because my original email shows it was only sent to 25 people, whic...

   Um lets see, Foundations book (ebook) and pharm book (hardcopy) thru Amazon, nursing skills component from elsevier, and I'm using an old 2010 drug book that I already had. You can find older editions of the foundations book at Half-Priced Books so y...

   I went through the elsevier evolve website. You should already have a login and password from when you took the HESI. If you lost it, just open a new account. Here's what you're looking for: [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD]Nursing Skills Online Version...

    I heard that too, so I just ordered the online portion that we need and skipped buying the book. I have a 2010 drug book and will probably stick with that. TCC offers an online resource free to students. Also if you have an iPhone there's a free drug...

    welcome Amanda! Stethoscope with free engraving is at medisave.net (I looked at a few places but I'm pretty sure I'm telling you right). I went with Littmann. The book list should be in one of the attachments they sent you with your acceptance email....

    It's quick and painless, no worries. I'm sure they pad the deadlines so they get our info way in advance of when they really need it. It's been quiet on here. I catch myself jumping on Campus Cruiser out of habit. I have to say, this stress-free time...
