Ah must be because I'm searching on my phone then. When I'm home at the computer I'm sure I'll see it then. Orientation is right around the corner can't wait.

Hi everyone congrats on being accepted. I'm new to this website and I currently working towards finishing my bachelors next semester and then applying to CEIN for 2016. I was wondering if any of you who were accepted to the program would be willing to share what your Gpa was and your pre-req grades. I just want an idea of what the program is accepting. I would appreciate it thanks so much and congrats again.

You have to buy all/most of them. BUT you can save a lot by buying older editions. Usually the content is nearly identical. In the bundle for the spring, we got the Pharmacology book, a huge (two edition) Med-surg book, and a nursing diagnosis book - we use all of them frequently. The bundle also contained a test-strategy book and a nutrition book I have never opened. Not in the bundle was another basic nursing book that was used frequently in the spring during the clinical lab (not terribly well-written, but some of the test questions came from here, so good to have). We also bought a drug guide that is VERY helpful - you will want a good drug guide, but you don't necessarily need to buy the one on the list. The spring also requires you to buy access to a group of dosage calculation modules and a video series - neither is particularly helpful, but part of your grade is based upon doing quizzes, so there's no getting around it.
The spring semester bundle is expensive, but the books are used throughout the course. We didn't have to buy new books for the main fall class (med-surg) because we're using the same pharmacology and basic nursing book we bought in the spring. For community nursing this fall, I got the older edition for $11 with shipping from Amazon; it's the older edition and not only is the content nearly identical but the professor just emailed us a list of page equivalents for the readings. And I spent $23 to rent the grad class book (nursing research). So realize you are front-loading for the program when you get your spring books.
I probably spent about $300 for the first semester (e-book for the bundle, hardcover for additional books, and the on-line modules). If I had to do it again, I'd go with older editions. Then I spent about $50 total for the 3 summer courses (rented one book and bought the other two in previous editions), and as I posted above, about $35 for the fall.

I know this was a while ago but do you remember what books you used because I have a friend that is giving away her nursing schools books and she said she'd give some to me if it's any I needed?
