hey everybody. as JJ (Tranquility said), i started a group on Google the link is: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Vegas-Med

essentially, when we get more people on, we can send emails to everybody using: [email protected]

it can be convenient if we need it, which hopefully we will.

Anyway, i've been getting in touch with various people so send me an IM, or sdn message, or harrass me over the phone (note: my number is on the google group site) when you get a moment.

I will be going out with Brian, and hopefully JJ this weekend. So if you can rally, try to make it out to Vegas.
If not this weekend, let me know anytime you're going and I will make a special trip...and depending on my winnings, maybe get a limo if we can fill it.

I'm out.

Hmm... I thought my going out was no longer optional... 😛

Anyways, I am also open to IM, phone calls, emails, pm'd. I think I pm'd most of you already with my contact info. feel free to use it. I am excited about all of this. can't wait to meet more of you.

And Leilani better show up here soon.... if anyone sees her on (she had the tucom-nv vs comp thread thing on pre-osteo...) tell her to get over here too.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has read The House of God or The Intern Blues. These came highly recommended by the nurses at my hospital. They said I have to read it now that I am an OMS1

I just got my renewal notice for my Gym and it is going to expire Jan 5 🙁

I can only renew for a year at a time so I will be without a gym for a few months until I get to Henderson. Looking at Napa Valley Apartments... they have a gym 🙂

Also looked at Remington and Ventana Canyon apartments, but Napa is a bit cheaper. I wish I knew how much we will get for financial aid so that I know how much I can afford.

They told me at my interview that they budget 700-900 a month for housing. Any thoughts on this... what about food and other bills?

Anyone know of phlebotomy jobs in Henderson (may just need the blood money)?

hey DrB!

Uhm.... which gym do you go to?

as for housing... yah... it will depend on the complex (and that will also go for your electric, gas, water, sewer, trash) I know at my complex I have my phone, electric, and gas. then the water, sewer and trash is split between the units based on square footage. food depends on how much you eat, how much you eat out... the usual... i don't think the prices here are that much different in terms of groceries... but then again, i don't know, it also depends on where you choose to go grocery shopping. gas is really good here right now (YAY! finally again) low grade yesterday was 1.87 medium was 1.97 and top was 2.07 (at least at the cheveron near my apartment)

go look at the apartment complexes though. that is the best advice i can give you. make sure you like the complex. it is hard to tell over the internet.

i will keep my eyes open for blood jobs 😉
 
Hey everyone! I am excited to finally meet some people who will be joining me at Touro Nevada in August. I got accepted thru the early admission program in August and have been teaching 7th grade science for the year here in Oklahoma. I have never been to Las Vegas, so this should be an experience for me! I am coming to visit Jan.20-23rd. I am bringing three of my girlfriends along with me to enjoy the city as well as tour the med. school. Let me know if anyone wants to meet during this time. Can't wait to meet you all!
 
Hey Babbling Brooke congrats!!! Welcome to TUNV and welcome to SDN! If you have never been to Las Vegas from Oklahoma... you are in for a shock!

Don't spend all your money for next year! I would love to join you, but I need to save all my cash before the move.

See you in August! 👍

Lt Mark!!! Hey what's up buddy! Remember me? Welcome to our class thread. By the way, we have a couple more forums at... http://p075.ezboard.com/btourouniversitynevada
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Vegas-Med/
...so be sure to check those out too.

So what does your wife think about your new title? Hooorraahh! (pronounced hu-rah for those who don't know)(that's the sound my dad makes :laugh: ...he was in the army). Anyway, I was thinking about joining the Air Force also...we might have to talk about that later.

It's nice to hear from you again. Keep in touch.

Is it really TUN? 😳 No offense DrB, it is humorous at first but can you imagine all the tun jokes we are going to get. We are probably going to get a tun. 🙄

ex) what school do you go to?
Oh I go to TUN.
Boy I bet you have a tun of homework hahaha.
or
You probably bet a tun of money at the blackjack table hahaha

Hope that doesn't get old

I have been awarded the Air Force Health Professions Scholarship
this past October. If you have any questions about the program, don't hesitate to ask me or your local recruiter. 😉
 
I am glad to hear from you Dan!
Three more months in Albuquerque, New Mexico and then we move to Henderson, Nevada. I will be going to Commissioned Officer Training this coming June (in Montgomery, Alabama). 😉

Apropos, my wife does like the Lt after my name! Ha! Ha!
I can't wait see everyone this next August.
 
hello babbling brooke and lt. stevens! It is good to meet more class members!
 
I hear you are living in Henderson now. Where do you live? I am thinking about Remington Canyon Apartments.

If someone would be willing to share a three bedroom apartment at Remington Canyon, that would be swell!

I was in Henderson a week and a half ago. I saw a lot of apartments out there. Has anyone seen the Timberlake apartments? I haven't seen those yet.

I live in henderson already. i am out on pecos and windmill right now in the camden summits apartments. i like them. they have attached garages with direct entrance. But that was an important thing for me when i was looking at apartments.

feel free to contact me. you can pm, im, call, which ever works best for you. i don't know if you have hit up the google site or not. but i think all my contact info is over there. if you don't want to... pm me and i will send it all to you.

take care and hope to talk to you soon

I am buying a house (probably three bedrooms) one room for computer and that stuff and the other for a roommate. So...if anyone is interested let me know. IM me and then we can talk, look forward to meeting all of you!

Perfect apartment for a military dude...remington... 🙄

I am interested in sharing an apartment... think Timberlake floorplan was best for sharing a 2-3bedroom. I went to Napa Valley apartments while in Henderson and I liked them too.

For everyone else who would like a house-mate when are you thinking of moving? I would like to move in by June 1 latest July 1... I am working night shifts and need a few months to reset my clock before school starts.

Happy New Years everyone!

Happy New Year!!!!!

2005!!!!!

Our year has come...
 
Ok guys, I don't really get this, no one has really introduced themselves. I don't know anyone's real name, age, sex, interests....
I'll start:
-I'm Nima (yea there are going to be 2 Nimas in our class)
-I interviewed on Dec 14th.
-I grew up in Europe, in Spain and Belgium
-The girl that I was dating just broke up with me, lots of drama, long story. Here's the summary: I feel like crap.
-I'll probably move into Henderson in June or July. My parents are talking about buying me a condo there as an investment, but I don't know yet, I might just rent a one bedroom apt.
-I'm flat ass broke, so I can't go on any trips to Vegas.
-I live in Valencia, 40min North of Los Angeles.
-I graduated from UCLA, BS in physiological science and psychobio.
-I'm just chilling for the time being, no job, no school. I'll start looking for a job this week, but I dont know if anyone would give me a job knowing that I will be leaving in 6 months.
-Ok, enough for today.
Here's my e-mail: [email protected]
You can also IM me. I have an away message, but I'm usually in my room, so just write me and I'll get to my computer. Here's my screen name: drnimatoad.
Ok guys, hope to meet yall soon.
 
Hi Nima, my name is DrB... I live in cyber land. Born and raised on SDN. I like surfing... the net and I plan on being emailed to Nevada around June. 😛

All the fun aside... we have a new google list serve just for us!

Go to www.google.com and click on groups

look for Vegas Med and sign up to read all about us

-Ben
Santa Cruz phlebotomist, UCSC grad, 25 years old, born in Kansas, hope to move into a single apartment, but think shared housing is better for the budget... all we get is 1200/month to live on.

BTW sorry about the girl problems... no worries, plenty of showgirls for us in Vegas

Good to meet you man. There are multiple places to post/read, and once Nima Alipour adds you to the Google group, you'll get more info on our classmates. In the meantime, all the students are scattered in different forums. Touro will have an official site for us to communicate with eachother in the near future. 👍
 
Hey guys, thanks for the replies.
JJ and Jeff, thanks for writing, I hope to talk to you guys again.
Ben, I tried to sign up for the Google group but it didnt work. I e-mailed the owner of the group and asked to be added.
 
I know this topic was brought up several times and no one has really seemed to post their info. So I thought I would try again.

Glad to hear of all of you coming next year. For those of you that are "flat ass broke" like Drnima- there are some first years that are able to house you guys when you come out to visit- so you don't have to pay for a hotel. It's not much but I have a futon in my condo and I'd like to meet some of you as well.

We also love to meet you guys so please keep in touch and let us know when you do plan to visit so we can get together and meet you guys and gals!!

You can email me at [email protected].

Congrats and I look forward to hearing from you!! 🙂

Maybe the first years need dates? (us 😀 ) That is if I hopefully get positive news from Roger this Friday. 🙂
 
I would appreciate it if you guys could tell how the interviews are conducted at Touro-NV, does it consist of 2 one on one interviews or is it conducted in a panel format.

The interview at TUCOM-NV consists of one 30 minute interview by two interviewers, at least one of which will be a faculty member.

Well, it is possible, but if all the seats are already taken, then wouldn't the first years all have dates...

My impression was that they were sold out and had hit capacity.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you this friday.
 
WOOHOO! I can be added to your list now! I got an email today from Roger, its still unbelievable! I'm gonna be a doctor!!
