hmmm let me think... well as I sit here just studying my life away all I can think is get ready to be overwhelmed. It takes a lot of time to get everything done. I still never feel like I am caught up, but it is okay. I really am enjoying the program. I would definitly start studying up on the clinical calc stuff, because you will not feel like you have time when you start classes. There is so much material to cover each week, and there is not much time for that. If any of you are going to the Southshore campus there is a very nice lady in the student resource center that will help you with the clincal calc stuff. I suggest anyone who has time to go and meet with her. I had some friends that did go and see her when they didn't pass the test the first time and they say that everyone should sit with her to start with. They all pretty much got 100% after meeting with her! She makes it very easy! If you have your books early you can start reading, the only problem is each campus goes in different order with the chapters. We had our first two tests within the first 4 weeks of school, so other than starting to study I would say just enjoy yourselfs for a bit, because once it starts it is hard to find much time to do anything except study!!!

Any questions anyone has feel free to ask, I don't mind answering if I know the answer!

Hey can someone find the correct book on amazon for the calculations? Or really anywhere on the web so I can atleast know the right book looks like? :) and I'm prob going to wait for the orientation for the package so I can get everything all set. Also, barnes and noble has a great nursing section with all sorts of pharmaceutic Dictionaries and pocket manuals! Orientation is only days away and I'm excited to meet everyone!

Bital,

I can't find the book with that edition. The only one that I see is the 4th edition for WAYYYY more than that price.

I am not positive of the name of the woman, but if you go in there she has short hair and glasses and if you just tell them you need help with clinical calculations they will know where to send you. That book is correct for the calculation book, if you can find it cheap now that is great, otherwise it is in the package when you buy it. Only do the first 8 chapters I believe it is, but you do not have to know the IV rates for this test. so dont' bother with that!
