Also, I wasn't clear on what the presenter on Student Health was explaining on the polio vaccines about the 3 series or a titer? Do we need both record and a titer? because on the forms it says "OR" and she said we need it "ALL." when I went into Student Services, the nurses told me I was good on polio and didn't need a titer done for that.

Thanks EMT23, So this January 8th registration date is only for those who have priority? because mine is on the 17th from what webadvisor tells me. There's talk on incentive for getting ourselves all cleared early for priority registration, does that mean our registration date can change if we get all our stuff done early?

Yes. If you get everything done and cleared with the advisor and the nurse, then they can clear your to register for priority registration which would be before your original registration date

I was told we need either the shots or titer. I had proof of my shots as a kid and she told me that I didn't need the titer

THANKS EMT23!! Thats relieving to understand, all that info on intake day left me a bit muddled on how this all works.

I have another question. About the books, I ordered bundle #3 but about the other books, I'm not exactly sure if I should hop on amazon and order the rest of the list or wait. One instructor uses some of the books on the list while another uses other books, so I'm not sure even if I had all the books which chapters to read cuz I don't know which instructor I'll get. Also, I've heard the reading list might be subject to change, so should we wait for the go ahead from ------------- which books to buy?

I know! They gave us so much info that my head was spinning. I was told to buy all the books because we will be using them throughout the entire program

Which bundle is everyone buying? I cant decide between bundle 1 or 3.

I bought bundle #3. It ended up being around $420 I think...I figured for two years the online things will pay off because there's quizzes and practice things. I want cohort A so it seems like I'm the only one....I can't decide to go to a hospital close to my house or far away because I heard that's a better hospital.

Everyone has the same instructors for seminar, and will need the same books. The different instructors that you register for are your clinical site instructors, who do not assign reading.
