I am getting rid of my books as well if you give me the isbn 13 number from your list I can tell you if I have it. I bought all my books new and I don't mark/write in my books. I also have alot of other books along the way I am willing to part with such as the Made Incredibly Easy books. Just email me!

And Tneo if it wasn't for Jo I would be lost, she's a great person to know and very friendly also!!!! So glad I met her!!! So look for her when you get to Dixon she is a wealth of knowledge, even join our page to get a feel for things now if you like!

Congrats to all of you!! Hopefully I will get a chance to meet all of you!!

Tneo you just have to set one up! That is what me and another member on the board did for our Class of 2012 at Dixon, we met on here and started talking and we both thought it might be easier to chat through Facebook so she made the page and others followed and now everyone is there, and it's a great especially when you need to discuss class and it's private so she only let people that she saw on our roster join. Unfortunately I haven't kept up with it as much as I would like to but its a great way to talk to your classmates and get to know them even before classes begin.

Ok so Im the slacker of the group I guess on the stethoscope haha. Cant decide on my color!

Ok I just requested, please approve me!

Jo'ee Im a FB addict so if you need help let me know! Yes I have to live my life in colors not just boring black! I already have been showing my boyfriend the ones I want WHEN (not if) I graduate school...haha. Bummed we have to get the boring white shoes but at least they will hopefully be comfy!

woo hoo FB page would be awesome! I'm in! You just might have to turn off all my Farmville/Mafia Wars posts..haha. However with school, that might slow down quite a bit! I was browsing the Littmans today as well, I love the colors can't decide, my boyfriend said to go for boring black and I said NO WAY!

I am going to wait to call because I want to be certain I am registered and my email doesn't get lost somewhere along the way. I have ATT as my carrier but still went with the Itouch, just don't want to pay more monthly. Haven't gotten the chance to look for shoes yet but what stethoscope did everyone get??

Prncesslaur, If you are getting the iphone wait til June, the new platform is coming out and from what I'm hearing its going to be the same price. Supposedly its going to make the older models basically obsolete (not sure how....). I ended up going with the itouch 64mb, unfortunately my itouch was only an 8, but I'm going to pass it down to my son I guess. My phone isn't due for update til next year so I figured if the itouch wasn't working out for me I would upgrade my phone to the iphone, because with the iphone you also have to have a data plan which is a killer in price for the iphone its not just the normal data plan and I dont want that added expense every month. Just some things for you to think about... As for N100 the only day I can really do is Sat because i also work full time and would have to take off for any of the other days and worry about my kids also getting home from school. Im getting excited too, and feeling like things are moving right along. I love checking things off on the list though as I'm going along..haha.

I agree with everyone else here. You worked hard for this and you knew it wasn't going to be an easy road but you did it! I say stay and finish your nursing it will be worth it in the end. I understand your struggles I am a single mom of 4 working full time also and just was accepted into a program and i have no family to help me. Its a stuggle for me every day. I believe you already know what your decision is, so stop listening to everyone else and do what you you feel is right for you. Sounds like your husband is just as supportive. Believe in yourself and do it!

nurswannab Yes A&P II is a tough course to take during summer but I have known people to do it. Don't rush yourself though, you rather get good grades and understand everything then get a poor grade trying to rush to get everything in. Do they offer Microbiology over the Summer, I personally thought Micro was easy and that might be a consideration to take that over the summer?? Yes definitely get the study guide for the Teas it was well worth the investment it completely prepared me for what was on the test. I did all the tests in the book then did the online ones and read the book twice! Obviously I did well cause I got in..hehehe. But I get nervous with tests so when I saw the test , it all looked familiar to me and I didn't stress out.

Well to make you feel better I have heard of people being accepted even they weren't fully finished and as long as you complete the classes I belive by Regular Decision which is Feb 2011 which it sounds to me like you will be, from what I was told if you are planning to complete the classes after the Feb 2011 date you stand a higher chance of being wait listed because they take the students first that have completed and passed the pre-reqs. I asked because I was in a similar situation and then I decided to just take the summer off I was pregnant and not push myself too hard and apply for the following year, which now looking back was the better decision in the end. If you dont mind me asking what school are you going to for your Pre-Req's? As for your GPA it is very good so dont worry bout that part. Is it at all possible to take your Micro and APII in the same semester?? Remember you still need to take the TEAS test as well and they need to have those results by the General Decision date. Meaning you will need to take it prob around Dec. (I wasn't aware of that and took it just in the nick of time!)

Got my books today! Finally!!! Now I can start stressing about the material to be completed....haha. I was shocked at how much the book weighs I hope I dont have to carry that thing around with me everywhere. 17xx pages is alot of pages for a book at least it looks interesting though.

nurswannab This is what their site says for Early Decision Reviews will be conducted on those with a minimum of five of the nine prerequisite college courses completed, two of which must be science courses. This is where you can find the info! http://amhdixonson.org/apply_transfer.html

I am starting in fall also, an RN program.

Prncess, Yep I work full time also and am a single mom as well, feels good to know I'm not alone!! I feel like it's taken me forever to get here, I wanted to be in last year but the birth of my child sort of set me back a little bit. I have 4 kids(1,7,9,12). I'm a little nervous because I know the next two years are going to be tough, but everyone I know who is a nurse now says the adult students who come through always seem to do the best because they have more of a purpose. I hope they are right! As for CPR I am certified also but he told me I had to retake it because the one for Health Professionals is different and the fact I am going to need it for two years, I couldn't even just take an recert he said I had to take the whole thing.

Jo'ee, I didn't get out to get the shoes , but I did call my friend who works at Abington and she said go to Slon Uniforms next to the Payless store in Abington, she said they have all that stuff in there, stethoscopes too. Im concerned cause Im having surgery in about 2 weeks on my knee and I need really good shoes too, we have to have white nursing or sneakers it says but I rather have comfortable ugly white nursing , I am not there for fashion, if I'm going to be on my feet all day. I really just want my books right now so I can start looking at everything! Says they shipped but it can take up to 10 days to get here so im hoping this week sometime.

Hi Prcnesslauer, I wonder if we had classes together at Manor cause I just finished in Dec. Can't wait to see you there. I registered for the CPR class as well like Jo'ee , I'm taking the 7/31 class. Still waiting for my books though. I would have liked to take the Tech Math but they weren't offering it at the time, so I hope I'm ok. I did well in Alegebra so Im hoping I retained it all.

Jo'ee Just registered for the 7/31 class on Sat., I needed a weekend and I have my call in to the Student Health because I see my dr. next week to get my physical, so just waiting for them to call me back to register for that. Cant wait to get my books so I can get started on the assignments! I will email you when I get my 15 posts! I think Im at about 6 now...haha.

Jo'ee Yes I am in EW also so we will definitely meet i am sure! Oh no I haven't taken any drug calculations and thats my biggest fear. I didnt know we could already register for everything else, I thought we had to wait for the May 1st date. Guess I will get working on that now as well, thanks for the heads up! I am going this weekend to look for my shoes! I am excited and nervous all at the same time. But we are on our way!!!!

Jo'ee i got your message but I can't reply on a PM because I dont have 15 posts yet! I finished at Manor and actually just ordered my books for Aug. I must be honest I did have a little anxiety when I saw all the things we have to do before Orientation but its just a matter of prioritizing and working through it and now I'm starting to feel much better about it.

Trigirl is that for the evening or day students?? Thanks!

Just got a phone call from Dixon, IM IN!!!!!! She asked if i received my mail yet i said no, she said i hate to ruin your surprise and my heart sank thinking they accidentally accepted me and had to tell me it was incorrect, she Said you have been accepted to attend Dixon, however the start date says 2011 and you will be beginning this Aug 2010!!!! See everyone in the N/W!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOO

Im just wondering if anyone has heard anything. I was the first of the interviews for regular decision and that was back in December. I still have not heard a thing. I finished all my pre-req's, did well on the Teas, have a high GPA, and interviewed well I think. I am just getting very anxious and nervous. I'm worried that they forgot about me because my interview was so long ago!!! Also I applied for the n/w as well for 2010. So hopefully I see you all there, of course if I do I will be asking if your from the boards!
