Congratulations to everyone getting ready to begin their nursing journey at BCC. I am selling two women uniform tops. If anyone is interested send me a message.

Looks like Gulanick & Myers is the go to book. Thanks =) Looks like we just need to bring ourselves, some lunch and our A game to orientation! See everyone there. Besides the nursing kit is there anything else we need to purchase on orientation...

yoonjmp : you got that right =) I'm on the payment plan & any little bit of "free money" is welcomed.

Yes the nursing care plan. It's under the student choice section. Which one did everyone buy? Isn't it a requirement for clinicals as far as charting and assessment goes?

I finally handed in all my paperwork! Such a relief. Now I'm ready to start hitting the books. Speaking of which did anyone purchase a care plan yet?

How about a minor in general science? Since you took a few science classes for nursing. Online course? Lol. Again, I don't know. I'm just throwing options out there for you. I know we get assigned a counselor at orientation.

Obviously there are other reasons I want to become a nurse as well but if you can afford tuition...I say do it! More power to you! =)

I'm not double majoring with Nursing at school but I do have a BS in Chemistry. Unfortunately with the economy I was unable to find a job in the field that's why I'm turning to nursing. My personal advice is stick to one major for now and see how th...

For the rest of the paperwork, there is a drop box which you can turn in all the paperwork. As long as the college is open there should be access to the dropbox.

Since I work school hours unfortunately I was also unable to hand it any paperwork as well before the break. I called the health center before holiday break began and the office is closed until the 5th of January. I'll be handing in the paperwork in...

Any former students on here that can recommend a nclex study guide to give everyone a head start on what to expect? =) I'm thinking of buying a study guide to start reviewing during the holidays since I'll be off from work. Anyone have any suggestion...

I also purchased the Jarvis and Calculate with confidence. Still have to buy or wait. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with books just yet.

Awesome info! Definitely waiting. I still need to purchase books. Which assessment book is everyone buying? Is there a difference or a preference for BCC RN students?

Great post yoonjmp! Thanks for finding out that info and great suggestions. I would have to agree that a pen light, small ruler and a sphygmometer would be great investments!

I'm also holding off on the uniforms until the days before orientation. This stuff is getting quite expensive. Paying everything out of pocket so I'm waiting until the holidays to end. I could be mistaken but don't we need to wear our uniforms to cl...

Hahaha! Everyone is so awesome. Can't wait to meet everyone at orientation. Air Max it is!! Gives everyone an extra inch of height =)

I will also try Road Runners on Route 4. I usually never wear sneakers unless I'm at the gy May the sneaker shopping begin... after the holidays lol

I have to go try the Merrells out but are they acceptable? Do they cover your entire foot? It looks croc like...

I'm thinking all white Nike Shox (if I could find some) but I'm not sure. I know there are a few guys on this forum so ladies what type of shoes were you thinking of getting?

Pretty much everything done except a few shots. MMR & chickenpox. Just got Hep B done yesterday. Yikes! Also have to visit the uniform place and buy some shoes. This is getting outrageous with all the money I spent. I definitely won't be wasting ...

Has anyone started reading? I want to get a head start except I have no idea what to read first. Does anyone have any idea?

Hey everyone! How's everyone doing? How's everyone doing with their paperwork, books, & uniforms? I'm currently waiting at the doctor and thinking about how in almost one month we'll be starting school!! =)

No problem! I'll definitely be reviewing the packet before classes start. I'm in section 602. The start of classes is very bittersweet. So excited to embark the beginning of my nursing career but not looking forward to the stress of it. Anyone els...

Hey everyone =) Just giving everyone a heads up on a math skills packet that is available on Bergen's RN home page. I'm sure it's for us to review before we start classes. Anyone else see it? Think the same?

Yoonjmp I realized such when I went. I was taken before other patients and I did not make an appointment. Good luck! I'm slowly getting all my books. Bought two already. How did everyone buy? Rent? New? Used? Are there any codes which are necessary ...
