Waiting for rain

In small groups of people you know well, used sparingly, maybe. But around patients or colleagues/students you aren't close with, totally unprofessional.

We have Caribbean Blue scrubs, which is a teal color (I like it). Shoes, socks, and undershirts white. Do not understand the white shoes. Not the easiest to keep clean.

I'm just starting nursing school, and I have quite a few tattoos. They aren't a problem as long as I keep them covered. I only have to cover them in uniform (lab, and clinicals), our lecture class is dress code free. I just wear a long sleeve white ...

Pretty sure Pharmacology doesn't start until the next eight weeks. They only show it on the schedule as starting for financial aid purposes.

Yup, I think they say it takes 2 weeks for the orders, and mine was a couple days after when they said they'd be back, but I got em. Thinking of ordering another set though.

I received an email today. We have first class Thursday the 5th, and first lab Friday the 6th. She also sent the first week book reading assignments.

Yay! Good Job! :anpom:

No, they just added 2 books, they let us know at orientation that 2 were left off the list they sent. The Pharmacology books. TITLE:Pharmacology: Connections to Nursing Practice AUTHOR:Adams EDITION: COPYRIGHT YEAR:2010 PUBLISHER:Pearson Education I...

One of the ones that wasn't on the original list... http://www.amazon.com/Pharmacology-Connections-Practice-Michael-Adams/dp/0131525999

I think I am going to do the pharm book as well... It isn't as big, but it's still quite heavy. It's worth the extra money to save the strain on my back.

I only did the big med-surg one so far, it was about $25 and I got it done into 9 sections with the comb binding. It's less expensive just to get it unbound with a 3 hole punch drilled into it. It just depends on what you want.

I hope it goes/went well!

I've had hypothyroidism for over a decade and even with treatment still have issues with symptoms from time to time. Not nearly as bad as they would be without medication though. (I've been holding stable at 125 mcg for years now.) As for dry skin, I...

Is anyone doing any pre-studying? I'm not sure where to start. I hate that blackboard doesn't come up til the first day of class now.

I didn't get it unbound until I got it. I took it to target copy. The can unbind it for you and either put a 3 hole punch in it or rebind it into smaller packets. I got mine rebound with a "comb" bind (kinda like a half coil) into 9 packets so each o...

Amazon has the lowest prices. I used ecampus for most of them because they had more payment options. I got the optional book on ebay.

Yep. I got them new so all the cds and codes were included. Using the ISBN was the easiest way to find them. And I went ahead and got the med/surg text unbound, and then rebound into smaller sections. I love it. I didn't want to just get holes punc...

I'm pretty sure the bookstore doesn't get them in until closer to the start of the semester. Got mine online, still waiting on the pharm ones, but that's because the weren't on the list originally, so I ordered them later. The med-surg book is crazy...

I was accepted for Spring 2012, and have already started getting stuff together. The books alone are overwhelming. Excited and terrified all at the same time.

I got the Varicella titer done, it was about $50 at that any lab test now place, and came back in just over a week. Since I knew I had chicken pox I was confident the titer would show the antibodies, and it did. So depending on how much the vaccine w...

Yeah, and I was eligible for early enrollment. That is probably the problem. If I were you I'd call and make sure they got your acceptance email though, if you haven't already.

I was able to register, too. :) Is anyone else having trouble with the Varicella records? I had chicken pox over a decade ago and can find no record of it at all. I figured I'd just get the immunization, but it's $93 at the health department. Trying ...

Glad I'm not the only one. Little less worried now.

Anyone else try to register? It's open, but I get the "not admitted" error, even though I sent my reply to the acceptance email, and the receipt says it went through. Trying to to freak out.

Hi all! I, too, was accepted for Spring 2012. Glad to hear about the covering tattoos. I was a bit worried. I wonder if we'll have to cover them all the time or just for clinicals. As for the MMR, if you have your records of all 3 shots you should ...
