They took 104 full-time and 24 part time. I just asked Debbie. They still don't know the points cut off. Congratulations to all of those that got the call.

The shoe this is pretty strictly enforced, but it depends on your specific clinical instructor. Some may say the grey swoosh is fine, others say no. (In my personal experience there are students with way more color on their shoes than that.) You w...

The SNSA is open to all students pursuing a nursing degree. You do NOT have to be accepted into the program to join. They allow for volunteer hours to show on your transcript, too. It is a great place to meet other students from all stages of the ...

I am just finishing my 2nd semester and I completely agree with christina731. I have some of the dosage calc books and the medical terminoligy flashcards. I never purchased a gate belt & was fine. I have a bp cuff and only used it in lab. Mos...

101 has one lecture, one lab and one clinical per week. You also have pharmacology once a week. I would suggest all in lecture classes. But I know people that survived online. I had 31 points, but that varies semester by semester, so it's hard to...

There is a family owned trophy place on Torrey Pines & Sahara, next to good will. They do them for a reasonable price & fast (in case you forget yours for class someday). I recommend getting the magnetic back, your clothes will thank me.

Lab generally doesn't have exams per se. You will need to go in prepared with all of your reading and videos completed ahead of time and these can be time consuming and don't think you can let these slide because if you show up unprepared for lab yo...

That happened to us, too. Sometimes the registrar doesn't update the list of accepted students so you status is still pre-nursing. I had to take my letter of acceptance to the registrar. I'm not sure if it's the same this semester.

I can't find it either.

You will use most every book of the required list those come in the bundle. The recommended books are just that, recommendations. There are also a few that don't come in the bundle, but are required the APA documentation guide is one. (Although I've ...

In my experience NO electronic reference devices are allowed in clinical, but in the "real world" after school they get used all of the time and are a huge time and back saver.

It's a Saunder's clipboard. IMO I wouldn't spend the $$$ for the iPad for school. I used it for the first week and then ditched it for my laptop and yes I have my books loaded on there. I think you get a max of 5 devices for the ebooks. Like I sa...

One last piece of advice, Amazon offers a student discount on their prime account. It is worth EVERY penny. Free two day shipping on almost everything. I have ordered at from them at least twice a week since getting the membership and I can't even...

Congratulations to everyone that got accepted. I would highly recommend the toolbox class. On the third week of ACE you will have to pass a 10 question math conversion test with 90% or better. If you don't, there is ONE opportunity to retake, if y...

I will be calling in the am. I never thought to question what they were charging me. Thanks for the info.

I just priced out my bundle on Amazon, minus the Pageburst for less than $500. All new books. I spent $951, including the Pageburst at the bookstore today. Can this be right?

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase the pageburst by itself? I can't find it anywhere online. I know it comes with the bundle, but is it required?

I'm curious to know this too. I want both the books and e-books.

I'm wondering if any current or former students have any "real" advice as to what we really need versus what is recommended or optional. Also, if you have any favorite resources that you can share, where to shop, what brands are preferred, etc.

Oh, yeah as for name tags has anyone used the magnetic back tags? Is there any value to spending the extra $$$ other than to eliminate pin holes in your uniform? Are the magnetic ones even allowed? I tried to order an extra at the bookstore and th...

I'm confused about the lab scrubs and I can't find it written anywhere. On the red sheet we got at orientation it states uniform requirements and only talks about "slacks" no drawstring. When I purchased the pants for clinical at orientation the on...

I spoke to the instructor today. The tool box runs Thursday, July 5 through Monday, July 23.

I called the nursing dept. and they said that My CSN is incorrect and the class does start Thursday, July 5. The flier also stated that there is no class on Monday, July 11, but the 11th is a Wednesday. I've left a VM for the instructor just to make ...

I am.

I have Tuesday lecture at noon, too.
