I think the workbook will be in blackboard also. I just found the Pharm book on Amazon for $108 so I have officially purchased all of my books! Yay. Did anyone get any of the recommended books, if so, which ones? Also, as for the white shoes that are required, are there any rules as to which kind we have to get? For example, no clogs, slip resistant, etc. I'd prefer to get a shoes with no laces as I feel the laces will harbor bacteria, but I'm a bit of a freak about that stuff.

I haven't found the syllabus yet either. I'm guessing they'll either email it, or when blackboard opens on the firat day of class we'll be able to print it, but that's just a guess so who knows! :)

At orientation they told us to being our potter & perry textbook and the syllabus to the first day of class. I joined the VNSA, does anyone know if & when meetings will be?Paulaj: Yes wear professional attire. We're supposed to wear professional attire to every class (aside from when the clinicals and polo uniforms are required) though jeans are ok as long as they're appropriate.

The pharmacology book is the only one I haven't purchased yet actually. It seems to be expensive everywhere! I know I'm so excited that we'll be starting soon! :)

Hello everyone. I found an incredibly Cheap Textbook if anyone is interested... Our Virtual Clinical Excursions 3.0 is selling for $65 at the bookstore (according to their website), but I found it on Amazon for only $22. Here's the link: Amazon.com: Virtual Clinical Excursions 3.0 for Fundamentals of Nursing, 8e (Potter, Virtual Clinical Excursion 3.0 for Fundamentals of Nursing) (9780323088671): Patricia A. Potter RN MSN PhD FAAN, Anne Griffin Perry RN EdD FAAN: Books

If anyone is interested Barnes and Noble is selling our Fundamentals of Nursing Textbook with the Study guide for only $115 and according to the bookstore website, purchasing both of these new from Valencia would be $119 for the book and $30 for the study guide! Fundamentals of Nursing - Text and Study Guide Package, (032308690X), Patricia A. Potter, Textbooks - Barnes & Noble

The bookstore told me that as soon as the nursing program gives them the book list it will be available on their website. Also, I'm the one who asked about the lab kits. The person who responded to me said they would be available to purchase during our first class meeting. I'm going to the bookstore next week, so I'll find out what they say in regards to our lab kits

I'm having the same problem and I emailed customer service about the issue. I'll let you know what they say when they respond.

About the study buddies: I'm aware, I was being sarcastic/joking. It's hard to read that on a screen! :)

I guess no one's interested in being study buddies, Oh Well! On a side note: I'm registered for Silver section. I really wanted red, but my internet was out when I was trying to register.... Greengal, Did they have all of the white scrub uniform in stock? I was told they wouldn't have them in for a few days...

Okay everyone, I've been told one of the keys to success in nursing school is getting to know your classmates & building a support system. So let's get to know each other! I'm Briana. I live in Winter Springs, so I'll be attending West campus. I try to be Eco-friendly in everything I do, so to anyone living my way, I wouldn't mind making friends & carpooling. I live with my boyfriend and two dogs. I enjoy Running, cycling, blogging, organizing things and doing crafts. So... who wants to be study buddies?

Come over to the Spring thread https://allnurses.com/florida-state-nursing/valencia-spring-2013-a-710644.html

Really! Wow that's awesome. I wonder where we were on the list!! Either way yay!! I know how you feel, I've been scrambling to get everything done. So far I've finished the background check, fingerprinting & drug testing... I'm hoping Monday when I go to centracare all of my immunizations will be done!

Has anyone's Academic profile been updated from "pending admission"? If so, when did it get updated for you?
