Risk for constipation due to immobility?

Really a variety of reasons I guess. There are several validations, 3 strikes you're out. Dose calc is one of them. Low grades that couldn't be pulled up by the withdraw date, some just decided it wasn't for them. We have a much smaller class at Pell City so when we lose some it's a big loss. There are a variety of clinical places we go to for different things. They assign us, we don't get to choose.

I would suggest trying to learn all of your dose calc conversions and practice dose calc before classes even start. You can find all kinds of free resources, just do a search. Freshen up on your anatomy, and medical terminology if you can. Those are just things that won't be going away and if you already have a grip on them you will be ahead of the game. Also if you aren't an organized person - work on it now. They are going to throw a lot at you and you need to be on top of it. I just remember 1st semester being a crazy calendar. Well, I'm in 3rd semester and the calendar is STILL crazy - ha I guess it doesn't go away. ; ) Go in with a great attitude, be prepared to handle whatever comes your way. A bad attitude won't get you through. We lost half of our class in 1st semester. Very sad, but I guess it's just part of it. You got this! Good luck!

About the same. Nursing school is no joke - already. ; )

How was everyone's 1st full week?

. Thanks for letting us know! I already ordered mine but I guess there's plenty of time to return them.

I just had to pay my copay.

Ouch! Just got mmr & varicella shots because I wasn't immune. One of those were rough! Getting closer to be ready for January! : )

Congrats!

Thanks esme12! Great info! I am starting nursing school in Jan & plan to refer back to this. : )

I ordered all of my books tonight from half.com with the exception of 2 that I found on Amazon. I spent 326. Unfortunately too much spent on shipping but I still saved a few hundred dollars! Hope you can find some deals too. Looks like we all need to plant a money tree in the backyard.

. How long was orientation? Can any older editions of the books be used or did they encourage the bundle only? Is class 5 days a week or will we have time to work? Estimate of 1st semester cost? Thanks! Sorry, I guess I have a ton of questions. Our orientation is tomorrow so I guess I will try to have patience. : )

What was in the body of the letter? Was it in regards to spring semester regular registration?
