I'm applying to the fall nursing program in January. I'm super excited but I still have some unanswered questions. I tried calling the Nursing Dept at the South Campus and left a message but have not heard a response.
I'm trying to find out what teas version they are testing with in the spring for fall entry. I have read tons of threads from TCC for the past few semesters and it is nice to start a new one for nursing hopefuls like me.
I'm taking Micro in the fall and getting a math class knocked out for BSN. Anyway, hope to get some responses.
dreamer- is the pack on the majors website the exact same pack mentioned in our nursing packet but just for a lower price?
Yes, it is the same package. If you use the additional 10% discount coupon that is stapled in the Elsevier paperwork, they are actual the same price. However, you have to go to the TR bookstore to use the coupon (if you purchase the package from the bookstore's website, it won't let you add the coupon). I wanted to pick up some additional books (Taber's Medical Dictionary and Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference book), so I just ordered them all from one place. Free shipping and didn't have to make a trip to the bookstore. Works for me! :)

Yes, I ordered the package of textbooks, the Fundamentals of Nursing book, a Tabers medical dictionay and Mosby's drug reference book all from majorsbooks.com. They should be delivered tomorrow. And I ordered the dosage calculations book and the APA format book from Amazon, which will also be delivered tomorrow. :) I can't wait to start flipping through all of them. Hopefully it doesn't freak me out too bad.
Also, what nursing diagnosis reference manual are you guys purchasing?
I am waiting a bit longer to pick up a diagnosis book and a care plan book. I'm going to check my local library this weekend to see what they have (if anything). I want to see if I prefer one over another, or if one is easier to understand, etc.
I feel so relieved to have ordered the package this evening along along with two reference books and the fundamental book. I also went ahead and ordered them both through majors and amazon.
I feel like I am a little step closer to crossing the remainder of my list off. I am picking up two scrub tops I ordered through Dorothy's scrubs tomorrow. Yay me!
Oh and thank you again Dreamer for the info on the majors website
You're welcome! I also felt the same relief last night after making my book purchases. However, I feel like I still have a ton of things left to do!! I hope to get the majority of my To Do List taken care of next week.
