Valencia Fall 2015

[MaxiZilla]

Hello! I couldn't find any threads about Valencia for fall 2015 so I thought I'd make one. I've applied to UCF for fall but I've also applied for Valencia and will be be applying for the concurrent program as well, come may. So I thought hey, I may end up in Valencia's generic ASN track or the concurrent with Valencia/UCF so I wanted to start this thread up to seek out anyone else in the same position. Hello fellow hopefuls, how are you? Anxious? Excited? Impatient?

I'm currently in the program and its very challenging but doable. Make sure to study/read assigned chapters everyday and brush up on your dosages! Make use of the lab tutors for help specially for check off skills (they're awesome)! Take Fundamentals very seriously coz that's where most students resequence! Good luck everyone!

what books did you use the most? I got the dosage book and I am doing a chapter a day. they asked us for so many books if those are to use throughout the program or just for nursing I

[boragirl02]

You will definitely need Kozier & Erb's Fundamentals of Nursing as well as the Mental Health and Pharmacology books. I strongly suggest you also purchase Fundamentals Success since it will help you answer critical thinking nursing questions. Dosages is mostly self-study....they teach it to you once or twice and that's it!

Thank you for the advice, BoraGirl02! Maybe you could answer a question for me as well... I'm currently working on my calculating dosages safely book before school starts. My question is, were you allowed to use a calculator, or is everything written out the long way? Thanks so much!
