When we had orientation, our packets included a piece of paper that started with "Student Name: DOE, JANE," and it listed Fall 2012 courses. Towards the bottom of that paper, all the sections were...

Hi, again! I'm really happy to hear that the department did an orientation for the both of you! I'd imagine that they would want to do as much as possible to prepare you, given the short notice they...

Laura, I looked at your reply, and for a minute, I was elated that I finally found a person that might be in my clinical section. Then, of course, when I double-checked my paper, it turns out I'm in...

At the orientation, they said that we really only need to purchase a stethoscope and bandage scissors, but after perusing this site, I'm probably going to purchase a couple of extra items. The...

Hi there! :) CONGRATS!! Were you on a wait list? I'm surprised that they would notify you a week before the semester starts! Just in case you didn't purchase the fundamentals package yet, the...
