hello all, guess i'll get our thread started. i've watched these over the last few semesters, and it's a great way to share information and get to know each other. i applied earlier this month, and got an e-mail this evening letting me know that i a...

finally finished my classes. pulled a B in physiology...not too bad. went ahead and requested my transcript to be mailed when grades post. don't forget to do that y'all. for those of you taking finals this week and next, good luck!

i am only going to buy the books on the list that they sent us. i think we will get some clarification at orientation and during the first week of classes as to what we will need exactly. to be honest, i am buying earlier editions of the textbooks ...

yes. under student administration, self service, then student center. it is under the finances heading.

not sure if anyone else has found it, but i was poking around, and i found that i could set up direct deposit for financial aid. it's toward the bottom of the page when you log into the account page. maybe it's just me, but i never really noticed i...

sorry guys...i'm a dork, i know, but fundamentals of nursing is on amazon.com for $52.98 shipped. this is half the price of the bookstore. you might want to jump on this one if you can.

while checking things out on amazon.com, i noticed that they have an amazon student membership that includes free prime shipping for one year. prime shipping is two day shipping, so you get your stuff pretty quick. this will come in handy not only ...

something to keep in mind. i know that they are going to electronic textbooks in the fall. i asked if we would be able to do the same, and we will have that option. not sure exactly how it will work, but i would really like to not have to lug book...

i put together the list of books in a little bit different format to help with shopping. i went ahead and priced the books through the school bookstore online and also checked amazon. there are a couple of extra columns for your own comparison shop...

if you go back and look over other UTHSCSA threads, some then-current students give a little insight into which books you actually need.

@friendly...thanks for the info. guess i will go ahead and take all that is offered then. i am usually over eager and try to do too much and had planned on working full time while going to school. over the last few days, i have come to realize tha...

has anyone tried to buy a parking permit online? i go through the process, but it doesn't process my card. i tried two cards, and neither would work. any ideas?

yes, i saw that financial aid was awarded today. i called to ask about the scholarships was told that it will be a while before they are awarded. i am going to wait to see if i get any scholarships before i accept my loans. half of them are unsubs...

anyone know when we should find out about financial aid and scholarships?

i just finished registering. my clinicals will be at university hospital on wed from 630-130. now just waiting to see how financial aid will turn out.

yes, i confirmed that with debra koehne. she said we can register, but if we don't have the hold removed before classes start, we will just be enrolled in the school-offered insurance and billed for it in our fees. hopefully, i will have something i...

thanks ambrrrr...i figured that was the case, but being able to register is just one more step to making becoming a nurse more of a reality. any tips on which of the hospitals would be best for clinicals?

@ tori....i'm already done with my immunizations. i took care of them while i still had insurance with my previous employer. insurance paid for everything, even titers, so that was nice. i'm glad i planned ahead. i'm fairly sure that i will get ...

are there any of you that don't have insurance yet? i don't have any since i was laid off, but i'm hoping to get a job soon (have one in the works), but i'm not sure what to do in the meantime, so i can register. any advice?

hey guys, check your uthscsa e-mail. there is more training to do. since we're doing it away from campus, you will need to install the vpn. it's pretty easy to do. will probably do my training this weekend.

blue card...check! immunizations...check! now to work on financial aid and health insurance. hopefully, that will go as smoothly as the rest. been kinda quiet in here. what's going on with everyone?

rntob i'm sure you have probably thought to check your spam folder, but i thought i would mention it.

there are only a couple of presentations you need to watch. you can pretty much go at your own pace. just general information but good to know. bonus is you get to print a certificate after one of them. LOL!

check your e-mails guys...i got my badge and email setup information today.

@tori...i'm in austin, so i just took my cpr class at austin community college continuing education classes. it was only from 8-1, so half a day sounds about right. you just have to make sure that it is for healthcare professionals. mine was about...
