Thanks Karla, can't wait till I'm actually all moved in! So I rechecked the list of products included in the USF computer store version to the list on the direct site and the direct site is in fact missing two things that the USF product has. So I guess they aren't the exact same thing. O well. The previous students didn't tell me which to rent vs. buy, but they did tell me that they never once opened the Clinical Nursing Skills book as well as the Nursing Diagnosis Handbook (she said everything in here is on the nursing central software) . I might rent the first one still just to be safe. The Calculate With Confidence book is just a math reference book to help with calculating drug dosages so I went ahead and bought the 4th ed. (instead of the 5th) for about $6.00 here Calculate With Confidence by Deborah Gray Morris,... at Textbookx.com in case anyone else wants to do that. Everything else I'm getting on half.com. Good luck!

Well I e-mailed Manny and he said its not exactly the same and to buy it from USF. I'm still skeptical though because the list of things included on the direct site matches the paper we were given, but in any event it might be safer to just buy it from USF. Just wanted to share what Manny said before anyone bought it from the direct site.

Thanks fuel4life, I was wondering about the password on the kit site too. By the way everyone, if you go to Unbound Medicine | Nursing Central for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and the web instead of the USF computer store site to purchase the nursing central software you save almost $40! On the direct site its $111 total (no tax) while the USF site is $139 + tax ($147). Just thought I'd share since we're all spending a lot and every bit saved helps. It was great meeting you fuel4life btw. I'll keep an eye out for you at pre-Immersion. (it's jason in case you don't remember )

@Very, yes, my bad, that's what I meant to say

Where is everyone thinking of living? I found a couple places close to campus I like and am thinking of signing a lease Wed. before orientation. The only thing is most places offer 12 mos leases and we'll be graduating Dec 2014, right? So we would need a 16 month lease, but I really don't want to pay $75-100 more a month for the special lease length. Was curious what everyone else is doing with their living situation?

Yay! I got into the second degree program too. Congrats to all who got in. I've been working on those HIPPA modules a little to get a head start and am taking the BLS course next Thursday. So much to do! I was aware of the Orientation/Match Day but the Pre-Immersion Program was news to me. Anyone know what that's about?

No status change for me either. I'm guessing we will find out tomorrow.

Yup, I saw that too PalmHarborMom. The previous year (2010) they found out June 29th! So I'm thinking its still possible we find out this week. The waiting is killing me too. :)

Second degree still says "applied" for me as well. Upper division says "committee."

PalmHarborMom, which program did you apply to? Second degree or upper division?

Has anyone who applied to the second degree/acclerated program seen the status of their application change from "applied" to "committee"?
