Congrats! Look us up on Face book!

The Difference is probably more than 10K because USF includes food, plus remember that is only for one year. If you are entering as a junior it would be more than 20K...think about how long you would have to work to make up the difference or that Mia...

I know that there are several other PHCC threads but I thought it might be nice to have our own. So here it goes: My name is Kelly and I will be attending the WC evening/weekend program. I will probably be the eldest of our class, although I hope not...

Hi Cay!

The FB group name is : PHCC LPN Fall 2010 WC this might work too: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=144122152270490

If there are any fall LPN students reading this discussion, there is now a facebook goup for us. Search PHCC LPN and you should find it :)

I will mention this again, I used borders coupons and bought most of my books. My fundamentals book was $92 because I used a 33% off Coupon and free shipping. I also used Amazon for anything not available on Borders.

Sorry I am on vacation and have not been checking the board. I added a group on Facebook, search PHCC LPN Fall 2010 WC. It is open so you can add yourself, at some point later we can decide if we need to make the group private, and of course NC stud...

Shep626, Thank you for all of the info, a little insight into what to come really helps! For everyone else, Borders has a 40% off coupon this week! I purchased the majority of my books through them using coupons...amazing savings! Everyone in my hou...

Shep626: I would like to ask if you have any tips for surviving the program, hardest part, easiest part? Any advice you have to offer? Thanks, Kelly

I PM'd you.

I am thinking about putting my email address on it that way if I misplace it someone can contact me.

I too have purchased most of my supplies, almost all of them with some sort of discount. For my books, I have comparison shopped and used many borders coupons!

I wouldn't worry too much. It took about 5 days for me to get mine. You can also check wise to see if they changed your major.

My prices were from bookstores online:eek:

I got my packet in the mail today, started looking at the books for the first semester. Holy Cow almost $600!

I have a pair of Timberland professional, that I wear for work as a Unit Secretary and my feet have never hurt but the heel slips a little. So I ordered Keen PTC and Alegria Debra, I have also considered these Danskos. Many of the nurses on my floor ...

Congrats, We will be in the program together!

I have a feeling those pants would not pass the nursing program rules on not "scrub" pants, because of the cargo style pockets. You may want to look at the phcc bookstore online to see how basic theirs are.

Oops, just edited my post. It is uniformhaven.com Yesterday I called the nursing office about the no Scrub pant question, and she said mainly no drawstring and the same material as the top. I looked at the bookstore but they don't offer petite, so I ...

Just ordered my uniforms from uniformhaven.com they had the best prices I could find plus no shipping and no tax. Next will be my Littmann cardiology III thinking about Copper/Chocolate. Edited to add: I know several nurses that were these shoes in t...

I turned in my acceptance letter yesterday, I can't wait for orientation!

Absolutely makes sense, I was not taking into account that the program only starts in August. I can understand not wanting to the LPN route, for me it works :)

Interesting, looking at the bridge program I guess it depends on where you were at in finishing RN coreqs; I had all but 2 finished so it will only take me an extra semester because they are prereqs for RN Bridge. I know it is a less than ideal way o...
