Oh wow! We were given our clinical sites, days, and times, about 2 weeks before school started. Our program director is awesome she really "cracks the whip" so to speak but we are grateful for her. But don't get discourage, this week was kind of strange for us too because of the hurricane, but hopefully next week will be better and your cohort will have a better idea of what to expect for this semester. Have you tried reaching out to someone who is apart of the cohort ahead of you?

Well so far fundamentals have their own bundle, in addition to 4 other books. Pharmacology has its own bundle, and I believe it was 2 other books. Some of the books in the bundle you will use specifically for that class, other books, will last you a life time. For example with my fundamentals bundle it came with the text book for fundamentals, and it had like 6 other books with it, one of which was title "2017 drug guide", which is something you may refer to even after you graduate. I think my classes next semester do not have bundles. On the book list now I just see a text book listed, along with a few other books, which probably means that it will be a lot cheaper. So basically every semester you will be buying books. However they do have a history of changing the required books at the last minute

Classes so far are awesome. If you have some medical experience a lot of the stuff that we are learning thus far is not hard its just a lot of information and one of the biggest things is rational. As far as class time and structure it goes as follows for my campus this semester. Monday is fundamentals 8-1 Tuesday is lab 8-1, and Wednesday is pharm 8-1. You will have clinical one day a week (mines is Thursday), and clinical can be from 6:30a to 3p or 2:30p to 11p. Some of my classmates have clinical on Friday. Whichever day you do not have clinical it would be a free/flex day, which is a day you don't have class, but if you ever need to make something up, you would do it on this day. The instructors make it clear they own you M-F but if something comes up where you have to come in on your flex day, they will try to give some advance notice. So far everything is good, on the first day they gave us a calendar for the semester which lays out assignment deadlines, test dates, and whats going to be covered in each and every class. Don't get wrong although the information we are learning at this time is not hard for me, we have a lot of work to do. Between reading text book chapters, doing activities in the workbooks, ati modules, ati readings, med cards, care plans, and trying to make sure you get all of your skills checked off so you can start clinical on time. We have aloooooooot of work to do.

yeah I'm starting at the jacksonville, fl campus and ended paying 700 dollars for my fundamentals bundle but purchased everything else online. Good luck to everyone on their first day!!!!

Can anyone email me the verification of good standing form, for some reason it will not download for me!

So is class really 8-1, four days a week and clinical 1 day a week? Also did you purchase your books through the bookstore or through another source?

Hey I wanted to send you a PM but can't because I am new to the site. How is core going so far? I start core there in august! I want to know everything!!!
