mblade06, I purchased my books on amazon.com and paid about $520, only because I bought new books. Other classmates used the same website and paid only $400! In the bookstore they total out to about $650-750 i believe.

i will be doing clinicals on wednesday at methodist as well!

ok, i sent you an email containing my email address!

ok i will pm you.. im tryna figure out how.. hold on

i did not get one. but i remember she said she would send us an email on calculations and other info. what was it about or could you forward it to me?

Hey.. do transfer students get a white coat ceremony? Thats really nice.. i hope we do. Is that what the induction ceremony is on the 10th of January?

ariess2011, yes i was there. i sat on the second row on the right. i remember her saying we can purcashe the decals during the january orientation.

yea, let us know. our (transfer students) orientation was just a tour around the school, info about applying and extra stuff that seemed informative to those interested in applying. we did found out about parking. we get to purchase a parking permit which ranges between $145-$160, uniform, and all extras will be purchased at the orientation in january! i guess we all just have to make sure we attend wednesday, dec 8th's orientation to register for classes and make sure our financial aid is taken care of. ill post anything else i can remember.

sorry favour08, i will be coming from out of town to go there, otherwise i would love to help a classmate out!

those were my exact reasons for not going too! =d

ok cool! sounds great!

knalimol: thanks a lot!!! you've answered all of my questions! if you know any people who will be taking the classes that we're supposed to take in the spring can you ask them if they are willing ot sell their books? i know the classes vary. for those of you who are concerned about financial aid, i just spoke with one of the staff members and she said, "you will not find out about your financial aid rewards until you are enrolled"! hopefully that helps!

everyone: i just wanna say thanks to everyone on here for joining my post! it really has helped me through this process! also, i am attending the transfer day on the 18th! from experience some staff members are not as nice as the other staff members of other nursing school's i applied to, but they seem as if they will become nicer once they get to know you! i actually got accepted into baylor and houston baptist but i have chosen to attend pv b/c of all the nurses i know that express how well trained and prepared they were and still are. also, b/c i've always heard positive things about pv.. well, the only bad thing ive heard is just the fact that its hard and other insignificant stuff.. but every program will be hard and have it flaws! & every program in texas is fairly great! i see it as a blessing:heartbeat b/c there are over hundreds of ppl who would love to take my place,so i will work my hardest each and every day! knalimol or anyone else who would like to comment :): 1.) what would you recommend us to do to prepare for the course load, school in general, studying, etc.? 2.) would you recommend commuting from home or staying near campus? 3.) are there any "hook-ups" on books, like cheaper places? 4.) can you give a description on how your schedule for school and clinicals generate? 5.) what advice can you deliver to us for our first semester approaching??

everyone:im not sure of the financial aid and how that works.. im concerned about that too..did ya'lls pack include the scholarship form? i know it was given to selected ppl but just wondering.. also the in the packet they told us to purchase the new editions.

yay!!!! we all got in!!! im so happy!!! i cant wait to meet ya'll during the induction or those of yo who are going to the transfer oreintation! and i went to that location but they took the form and my id.
