GULP..my first bill was waiting for me when I finally was able to get my ID number and access my account..OUCH..I also was happy to see I was registered for 11 of the credits so far. I'm so excited for Monday!

no problem, sending it now Nash.

I talked to someone today and was told they would have all the scheduling by the 27th. Orientation day...That's not much time before classes start. I heard the lab wont start until week 2 and clinicals week 3, so it should just be the classes online week 1 and week 2 classes and the one lab (sat). That gives us a few more weeks to work out the schedule around clinicals. Welcome Nasha, How many hours are you guys working? I'm not working, but I have young children so I think that counts as a fulltime job:) Thankfully I have a great childcare provider that will have them during the week so I can do my online work and clinicals. It's happening so fast!!! I can't wait!

Hi Deanna Claire, welcome and congrats!!! Im ordering my books now so I will have them on time. I will send you the book list now. I am anxious that I dont have a schedule, I'm trying to set up multiple schedules that will revolve around my schedule.

I'm getting my clinical clearance stuff completed and I am wondering what the CORI training is? I filled out the form, but what's the class that the acceptance packet talks about? Did anyone do this or know of this? Thanks

No she didn't say. I may email her and ask as I wasn't at the orientation. We should also all try to do a study group once we know our schedules. I would love to have a group to bounce things off of. Do we know what time our tests will be on Wednesdays and if it is every wednesday?

Itcwall, I am going to order the ones on the second page tomorrow. I had to email them because the link wasnt bringing up the books. ********said they fixed it and it should work now. The second part, I am unsure what it is. I just plan to order one of them as it indicates we don't need both. I think I will try to order everything from the first page, just so I am not missing anything. Although, I can't find the dvd's on amazon that goes with some of the text books. I am hoping to find them somewhere else. I ordered my uniform and stethescope etc. yesterday. I just have to get some shoes for clinicals and order the lab bags and then I think I am allset. It's alot!!!

Also, my list isnt lining up with the ISBN's. Is it the pathophysiology book that is reserved one site or Mosby's guide to physical exams? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Itcwall, Im working on deciphering the list into what we need and what is recommended. I don't want to end up not having material that I need, but I also don't want to buy something we wont use. Did you just get everything on the list?

Where did you all order your books from? The bookstore or amazon?

Anyone from Maine/NH attending?

cc1031, congrats. I got a late start too. You earn a BSN and can opt out at that point or continue on for your masters after you work in the field for a specified amount of time. Do you live in the area or will you have to move in just a few weeks? And I just saw the other comments when my screen refreshed so I see you will be traveling. I'm traveling from southern Maine a few days a week and will be taking the amtrak to boston for labs/clinicals. It's cheaper than gas and tolls plus I can do my homework/study on the train as they have WIFI.

Hi Stefaniemary4, thanks for all the great info. Can you clarify the "if you need to take the research class" comment. Are they accepting transfer credits from classes taken that are similar? Thanks so much!

I did it, I sent in my acceptance!!! I have never been more excited and terrified at the same time. Itcwall or CM401, where did you find the list of books we need to buy? Is there someone in particular from staff that you speak to in regards to registration for classes or any questions you have? I haven't received a ton of info yet so I am trying to piece things together quickly. When you were sized for uniforms at orientation, did you think the size recommended for purchase was comprable to what you would purchase normally (do they run big or small)? I have to purchase without being sized so I am not sure what to expect.

CM401-Thanks. Thats what I figured, but then the website seemed to indicate otherwise when it listed the programs individually by semester. That's alot in private loans...I guess there are always scholarship opportunities and loan forgiveness programs that I can apply for later.
