San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2012

[color=#008000]hello guys... i'm creating this post to keep track of acceptance into the adn program at san jacinto college.

I think I would cry if they are white! Too much up keep. I heard our shoes for clinicals have to be all white though. Is that true? Including the soles?

Specializes in Transition nursing and couplet care.

All white for clicnicals, shoes.

By when do we need to have our steth? I REALLY want the Littman master II because my nursing buddy said it's great but I won't be able to get it until after graduation... otherwise I have to just but everything that comes in the lab pack and if I am not mistaken the one in the lab pack is a lightweight...

You have to pick one of the ones in the lab pack. There are three choices.

ohhhhokay. Thank You (=

Can someone tell me where we can find the textbooks needed for our classes? Also, do we pay for the lab pack at our August 3rd orientation?

You will pay for the lab pack at orientation.

Plug these course numbers into the San Jac bookstore course look up and it will show you! But be careful because some they list are also a part of that fundamentals of nursing bundle.

i found this list of books on the spring thread but don't see that we need the

brunner book for this semester. is that correct? also, does anyone know what books are included in the package?

I did a search with the ISBN number of the Fundamentals of Nursing Bundle on Amazon and this is what it gave me:

This package contains the following products:

  • 9780781758543 Boundy Calculation of Medication Dosages

  • 9780781781602 Weber Health Assessment in Nursing, North American Edition, 4e

  • 9780781781619 Weber Lab Manual to Accompany Health Assessment in Nursing, 4e

  • 9781582558165 Stedman's Stedman's Medical Terminology
  • 9780781793834 Taylor Fundamentals of Nursing, North American Edition, 7e

  • 9781451150230 Lippincott Nursing2013 Drug Handbook

Now, I am only going by what Amazon has and the Nursing Dept might have something totally different in that package at the school bookstore. Best thing to probably do is to ask someone in the nursing dept or at orientation. I would love to go ahead and by it on Amazon because it is 100 dollars cheaper to the package at the school bookstore. Being I don't get any financial aid, every bit I can save helps!

Thank you! I am in the same boat you are and need to save where I can since I don't have financial aid. I think I will research online to try and find the cheapest books available but wait to buy them until after orientation. Knowing my luck I would buy all the books we don't need : )

Yeah it's got me playing super shopper also. I am sure they are gonna be hit with a boat full of questions at orientation!! Can't wait to see you and everyone else there!
