I'm attending St Joseph's school of nursing.. they offer Health occupations, LPN, LPN to RN, and RN programs!

you can only have studs

You could always place the pages in a big binder. It's not like it originally was but atleast you wont loose the pages or anything!

I have a lip piercing as well and I'm going to be starting Nursing school in 4 days. They haven't said anything about it yet but I know once it comes time for clinicals they will tell me. I've had mine for atleast 2 years now.. I'm going to take mine out completely and try to use scar cream and stuff like that and hopefully it wont scar. It's probably going to be easiest just to take them out because once you go to a college for nursing or get a job as a nurse the piercings will have to be gone..

Missingunc How do you like the program the school offers? I've talked to some people and they said that they really enjoyed it. The nurse who actually gave me my mantoux test for school graduated from St. Joe's

No it's not too difficult. Just make sure you study for the teas exam so you can get in and yes they take credit transfers if you send in a transcript from the school

Yeah, thats true! :)

Yeah I meant all my books for 1st semester but I know it came so quickly it starts in 2 weeks! Yeah thats all we have to bring and a Birth Certificate if you didn't already show it to them. I didn't stay for the tour after the TEAS exam so I'm going to be so lost on the first day!

Yes i've gotten all my books, i ordered most of mine of amazon. how about you? I'm also very excited but i'm also pretty nervous.. haha

www.atitesting.com has the study guides for the test. if you now what version of the test you are taking you can also look on amazon for cheaper prices. I took TEAS version 3.0/4.0 and bought the study guide for that from that website.

Why do you even bother posting threads if you are so against going into the nursing career? More than one person has posted a thread like this and all your doing is annoying everyone on this site. Most people choose a career because its something they want to do with their life, and yes the economy sucks right now but you aren't going to change anyones mind and all you're doing is wasting your own time.

i agree!

wow what?

I bought my textbooks online, except I bought the books that came with CDs from the school and bought the rest online!

I would recommend buying the newest year they have, that way in the end you wont be sorry if you got the wrong versions. I bought mind off of amazon! Your school didn't give you a list of the exact books you need?
