I bought three main textbooks for each class. Carolyn Jarvis "Physical Examination & Health Assessment 6th Edition." Kee MS, RN, Joyce LeFever "Pharmacology; A Nursing Process Approach 7th e" Wilkinson, Judith M. "Fundamentals of Nursing" These are all I can afford now after purchasing other equipment plus overpriced health insurance. Well, let the pain and glory begin!! Anyway, for those of you in section 003, since I'm type I diabetic, you're more than welcome to practice how to check the blood sugar or inject insulin shot on me, if we are allowed to do that.

This is the site I got the malpractice insurance. Professional Liability Insurance for nurses, nursing medical malpractice. And this is the page that gives you the quote. www.nso.com/quick-quote/page1.jsf I actually paid $37.23 which includes surcharge and healthcare provider organization membership fee according to them. I talked to a student at the orientation, and he did pay exactly same. When I gave the certification of the insurance to the office, Angie(secretary) told me I got right one. So $23 doesn't sound right to me, but you never know, they might have changed their price. You might wanna contact NSO or nursing department office. Here is the NSO contact information link Contact Us at NSO

How was everyone's July 4th? I'm just being a night owl since I'm still excited by the fire works at Leonia, I guess my inner child and teenager showed up at same time. I'm in section 003 and bit concern about whether I can manage myself balancing my job and the school. I did finish most of the pre-requisite courses and I hope this will give me some sort of the break. BTW, this is the video I always watch when I need to fill up my bring it on attitude.

I ended up leaving soon after the team of nursing student showed up since I needed to go to my job. It was very good to see many male students there. Anyway, did anyone got scared or overwhelmed when they told us how hard this program is? Well, to be honest, I'm excited and scared at same time;).

Thanks, I will make several copies of what I have and will have. Once again, your advice help me and others a lot!!

Just wanna mentioned about the medical check for this program. If you haven't done yet, do it asap!! The result of the blood exam, I need to take the vaccines for MMR,Hep.B, and TD. Addition to that, I got positive on PPD on second test, so I have to take Xray. This medical requirements seems like take more than a month to complete. I'm so glad I started it early.

As I mentioned before, just can't wait for the orientation!

Thanks, I'll go there during the day time and park in the mall. As you mentioned, it does seems like a tough neighborhood.

Congratulations kaitlynelizabeth! I also have a question about the uniform (actually location of the uniform shop). Any suggestion about the parking near the uniform shop? I looked up the store's address at Google Map, but it seems like there are only few parking space on the street. If street parking is only option, what time is best time to go there?

Thank you so much for the information and your valuable advise PCTJon. I think best way to gain the rapport and respect despite of sex is being professional and respect the other's boundaries. Anyway I registered in section 3(181-003,182-003,183-003). Just can't wait for the program to start.

How many male students are usually in each section? I'm guessing it's not a lot, since the nursing department always address me as Ms. I do know that instructors and female students will treat male students equally with respect. But I'm just wondering how are patients in the clinic react to male student nurse?

Thank you pleasegod. This is exactly what I need:up:. Hope this link help other students who are having same issue.

The information packet I received via mail doesn't say anything about textbooks, uniform nor medical kit, and this is only info packet I got:no:. So thank you so much for discussing about the textbook and uniform, otherwise I ended up having no clue at the orientation or worst case scenario, not able to attend fall program due to unprepared. I feel like I dodge the bullet. I will ask for another info packet which contain those notices. And I need ten textbooks for three classes:wideyed:!? I guess this is perfect time to say "bring it on!!"

Thank you for the great information. I knew that students with 44 or more credits can register now. But I didn't know that students in honor program can register also. Because of your information, I was able to register the courses which suit my schedule. Thanks again

I just got the info packet yesterday. Can't wait for the orientation on June 26;)
