University of Memphis BSN Spring '14 Students

U.S.A. Tennessee

Published

Hello, I was recently accepted into Loewenberg school for nursing. I just wanted to start a board for anyone that has any advice or tips on surviving nursing at the UofM and possibly just start communicating with one another as nursing students of the school. I will say that the program has changed a bit because I am starting out with only 14 credit hours and it was originally 17 hrs, with that being said, I am really excited about nursing school and anxious at the same time about what is to come. Congratulations to anyone that was accepted and good luck because it's about that time to hit the ground and starting running!!!

I did buy my books earlier this week and it was roughly around $950 but I still have to go back and purchase this code for three years, which is about $134 if I am not mistaken which will shoot it up to about $1000. Tomorrow I was going to buy my scrubs and odds and ends as too that are required.

@ memphismom mon-thur, two classes a day, one on thurs, they are about a block apart from each other in time and class starts for me during the morning and last till early evening.

We're you able to find the calculator on the requirements page? (the blue sheet) It said no substitutions. The one at the on campus bookstore isn't the right one.

I was just going to look for it at Walmart, best buy or eBay. I will let you know where I find it or vice verse. That is ashame that the school bookstore don't even have it. On Monday I'am going back up there to get basic school supplies, the list is just about finished!
