I took both online....pm me if you are want to know more about the classes :)

I believe the average gpa this semester was in the 3.8 range; however, it varies from semester to semester. Last semester had a lower average gpa. Hope this helps!

My schedule is: M 1-3 Clinical lecture T 7-2:45 Clinical W 7-2:45 Clinical Th 8-11 Theory

So how is everyone feeling after their 1st week? I'm exhausted!

My doctor just wrote N/A. She also couldn't do the vision portion. I'm just leaving it at that for now. Let us know what you find out as I have another appointment on the 16th for my 2nd Hep B so if needed, I'll have her do it then. Did you get all your books etc. yet? Has anyone completed their ATI testing? Anyone going to the workshops?

I don't think it is a requirement to print it out but I plan on organizing my notebooks using the syllabus for each unit. Where has everyone been finding the best deals on textbooks for this semester? I've bought some from Amazon already.

I still need my 2 MMRs (my doctors office didn't have then), remaining 2 Hep B shots, 2nd TB, stethoscope, skill kit and books. I'm getting there slowly but surely! Besides uploading the documentation to certified bg, do we give copies to the school as well? I'm gonna need a whole lotta ink to print that monster syllabus. Where are the due dates for each unit?

The bp cuff I bought had a cute pattern but seemed huge. I wasn't really sure what to look for in the bp cuff or penlight to get so I just bought those at Scrubs N' Stuff. I'm still waiting for the bookstore to get the skill kits in.

Thanks! The ebook functions seemed cool; however, I wanted to check before plunking down a lot of money on it....especially since the 1st semester of nursing school is so dang expensive. It was so hard to find a CPR place w/ a weekend class that wasn't a bigillion hours long so this one was really convenient. Let me know who you go to next time around.

Thanks so much! What do you think about the ebook bundle? Is it worth it? I just took my CPR class over in St. Pete at the place you suggested. I think I had the same lady. It was really quick and not intimidating at all.

Check out your MySPC email....it should be there. They are having the following workshops: Math for Meds Syllabus Critical Thinking I signed up for the 8/15 date. It conflicts w/ the workshops...ugh!

I went to buy my uniforms today. They were completely out of the white polos in my size and had only two pairs of the bottoms I wanted. I was able to place an order for what I needed so I don't have to worry about this happening next time. I bought my bp cuff and penlight there as well. I didn't buy my stethescope yet. I've heard Littmanns were the best but when I asked the lady helping me which ones she had available, she tried to push a MDF steth on me for $40. I just though it odd that she offered a less expensive steth. The MDF was louder but the sound quality was off. Anyway....after comparing the Littmann and MDF, I was totally confused. I'll do more research as I'm not sure exactley what I should be looking for in one to begin with. The bookstore was out of the skill kit and I'm still confused on whether or not the syllabus is bought in the bookstore or found in Angel. The orientation paperwork said that it is located on Angel but the workshop email I received said that the syllabus can be bought in the bookstore. And guess what....the workshops are in the same timeslot as the ATI testing I scheduled....go figure! I'm not sure what type of shoes to get or backpack....guess I'll research those as well. LOL. Any tips or must-haves from other SPC students would be greatly appreciated!

Very cool!

I just checked MySPC....I ended up getting my 1st choice, which was Health South! :)

Which clinical sites did everyone pick?

We definitely should....I'll pm you my cell!

Congrats to you for getting into USF and to those who now have an opportunity to attend orientation in those places!

Awesome! Have you gotten much done as far the requirements are concerned? I'm so excited!

Just wondering if anyone else is attending orientation on Wednesday.....

Haimyem....you've reached your maximum on your private messages. I tried to PM you but got an error message.

Wow....that's awesome news! I'll be praying for a favorable outcome! Keep me updated!

See ALavallee's post.....maybe you should see an advisor as well.

Did you get to talk to an advisor?

Last semester had 499 applicants w/ an average gpa of 3.77 and 29.6 of the 30 credit hours completed. I haven't heard anything on this semester's stats.

Whoa.....I completely forgot that you had a 3.9 w/ all classes completed. How in the hec didn't you get in? I would contact advising ASAP.
