I could not for the life of me find a thread for people who were going to be going to Houston in the fall, so here we go.
I was going out for the fast track 2009 in Dallas, got denied and put back in the fall applicant pool, then BAM:D, got hit with the shocker last night when I got home from work that I had been accepted to the regular BSN program in Houston.
I'm really excited to start a new chapter and I thought this would be a good way to meet other members of the class before we get there. So shout out where you're from and your background so we can all get to know each other before August!
(P.S.- I've also been accepted to the community college in my hometown, which is closer, cheaper, and probably going to be easier, but I think it would be borderline offensive to turn down such an awesome offer, let me know what you think)
okay for concepts & clinicals i wouldn't buy any of the books. i didn't use any of them ever. some people used the book by chitty to make a reference during junior 2 semester for the research class but i wouldn't buy it just for that. you can do some research online and find a quote from there to use rather than paying for a book to use one sentence out of.
for assessment, when you by the book it comes with the lab manual which by the way i didn't really use. we looked at it in lab but never turned anything in, but that is not saying that YOU won't have to so I guess either go ahead and buy it or make a copy of the pages you need from a friend. don't worry about the book by sparks b/c it's a care plan book and you should buy a better one like the one I told you about earlier.
yess there are.. starbucks for sure, and there is one or two right around our school like walking distance.. other than that you might have to travel outside of med center.. there is a lib i think around med center as well..
