Hey! First and foremost, welcome to BULHSON! Sorry for the long time taken to respond, the semester has been very busy and going by fast! Yeah it seems I got lucky with this thread because no one seems to post about Baylor for some reason. Idk why.... Anywho, I personally bought 3 sets of scrubs, but have still yet to put a patch on the 3rd set (they only give us 2 patches I believe) so you'd have to buy the third. But I work with alot of nurses that went to LHSON, so I have alot of extra scrubs with/out patches if you need any. Our first semester, alot of the students had problems with the e-book package, I can't say what exactly it was because I got the actual books. To be honest I think its what you're most comfortable with. I personally like the reliability of books, but I have used the ebooks alot. I would also be careful with amazon because you will need alot of the resources and codes for your classes especially your J1 semester, then again I know there were some students that have bought from amazon. I don't use baylor's insurance because I had private insurance prior to enrollment, so I don't know if financial aid covers that. Alot of students get their vaccines through them(recommended clinic), again I work at the hospital so am able to get it there. I promise you we all felt the exact same way when we first started. The first semester is stressful but because it is alot of information to take in, learn , and apply. But we are all in the learning process so know that there are upper level students willing to help and give advice. You'll never feel entirely alone here. Plus the staff are amazing they are so nice and helpful so never be afraid to ask. For any other questions that we can't answer (health insurance/vaccines), just call the nursing school and ask. But I hope this helps some goodluck!

Wait.. I think this is the email that yall are talking about but its neither of those girls =/ Im sure we can meet on the 8th (day of bbq) or I have this sunday 11/5 off if anyone wants to meet for coffee or something before orientation? :)

I didn't get an email? Except one from about 3 weeks ago..

I plan on working but I'm very nervous about it. Especially since the first semester is possibly the hardest. I'm still hoping I can get a Thursday clinical to work Saturdays but nothing is for sure. I'm trying to work Sundays from 3-11 but idk if that was a smart move because I should use that day to study for Mondays.. I want to keep working but I don't want to mess up in school either.. I'm so torn..! What do yall think?

I def would of liked to meet but I had to work =/ I'd be working again today

Yes, happy holidays to everyone! Can't wait to meet yall next year! 2014:x3:!!

Have you looked into scholarships, loans, or spoken to the financial aid advisor about this? Money is a huge factor though. I almost didn't apply because of that, but I honestly didn't think I'd get accepted either. I really was hoping to meet everyone from here, but in the end do what's best for you!

What? how come!?? =/

Really!? I haven't ordered scrubs either! I've been so distracted with moving and work that I completely forgot !! well at least I'm not the only one

Thanks!

I haven't ordered the books just yet, I need to though! What days/time is orientation supposed to be? I forgot..

Sounds good.

That would be awesome! Yeah let me know please Thank you!

Yeah I know, but thats if someone wants to ..
