Hi all, wondering if anyone is applying to the nursing program at UNLV for spring 2014? This kills me to ask; but if so, how many points do you have and what makes you want to be a nurse? Good luck to all those hopeful nurses out there☺☺☺

Have you guys enrolled for classes yet? I'm not sure if we can already
I was wondering this, too. I thought we were going to get an e-mail? NURS 305 has five different sections, so... yeah.
My scrubs finally came! I feel like I'm wearing clown pants hahaha. Yay for unisex clothes.

Thank you so much karina! I guess I have to learn which way I'm best at studying! But thanks for all the heads up! Appreciate it!
Hey jaxxiepoo! Yeah I don't know either. Well I'll email one of the advisors tomorrow! Do it too so either one of us could know.
Oh I haven't gotten mine! What size did you get for the pants?

I got the small pants. I think it's the right size, they're just rather spacious in the crotch... luckily the shirt covers it up! Hahaha. I used to wear a medium in girl scrubs when I worked at the vet. I think the XS would have been too small everywhere else. I felt weird trying them on at the contract signing, though, so who knows!

Karina, would you happen to have your old books from level 1 and know the ISBN's? I was going to look into the cost of purchasing them online, but when I called the bookstore to ask, the woman said she didn't have the ISBN's because the books hadn't arrived yet. I think they're encouraged to sell us the bundle so I don't imagine they'd be too keen on giving us info to purchase the books elsewhere.

I know this is sort of a not very important question , but what kind of shoes are you guys looking into buying. From what I've read, danskos Elise are amazing but I don't have much to compare it to!
There a quite a few threads about good nursing shoes on this site. I bought a pair of New Balance shoes because they had good reviews overall.

does anyone know what the editions are for the books in the spring? I want to buy used but am afraid it will be the wrong edition.
I don't know quite yet but they get the books in at the bookstore on Friday! I'll go in and get all the info for you guys and post it!!

Huether: Understanding Pathophysiology 5th
Jarvis: Physical Examination and Health Assessment 6th
