School's comin!!

The summer clock is winding down, so it's time for updates and school-type announcements. First of all, textbooks are confusing! Turns out the Fall List under Current Student Resources is not-so-current. Mike wants the 6th edition for the Pharm book. So, here are actual ISBN's to help if you're online shopping:

Pharm: 1416025529
Med-Surg (2 vol set): 0781766958
Med-Surg Study Guide: 0781765439
Mental Health: 1416000887 *make sure it's the book, this isbn is the same for the paperback study guide, too!
Research: 0803611129

Also, I've been talking to people about different scholarship opportunities and such, and I REALLY wish I had looked these up earlier, because a lot of the deadlines have passed over the summer :( But, you could rake in the dough for Level 4! Check these out:

The Nursing Scholarship Program
http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/nursing/scholarship/
This scholarship is full tuition, fees, AND a stipend if you promise to work 2 years in a facility where nurses are in need (which basically means anywhere). I'm so mad the deadline passed June 6!!!

Nursing Scholarships

NSNA Scholarship Resources
http://www.nsna.org/foundation/resources/

FNSNA Undergrad Scholarship
http://www.nsna.org/foundation/scholarships/undergrad.asp
This scholarship is not due until Jan 2009! Apply!

Utah gives out Nursing Scholarships as a reimbursement around October or so. I contacted the office and I am getting the information shipped to me because their website is currently down.

Also, remember to apply for AmeriCorps right after Vikki does the Orientation in the first few weeks of school. That's an extra $700 just for doing clinicals and a couple service projects.

Enjoy the rest of your summer! Remember to check back and see when/where the next study group is going to be. So far they have been a great success, and it feels good to review. See you soon!
