Incoming PreNursing Students: As we discussed in our ADVANCE orientation, we are requiring you to complete a medical terminology online (independent learning) course to familiarize yourself with key terms that will be frequently used in the classroom. This is the first year we have done this, so we are still working out a few of the logistical issues with the process, but overall, we feel that this will be an asset to you and the program long term. One of your classmates was in the office recently and walked through the ordering process with us so this is a guide to how you need to proceed (you may need to zoom in to view the screenshots). First, you will need to go to the following website: www.jblearning.com/catalog/9780763797843 Once at this site, you should see the Medical Terminology Basis: Interactive Programmed Instruction book/course bundle on the screen. Proceed with adding the book to your cart.

Incoming  Pre-­‐Nursing  Students:    As  we  discussed  in  our  ADVANCE  orientation,  we  are  requiring  you  to  complete  a  medical  terminology  online  (independent  learning)  course  to  familiarize  yourself  with  key  terms  that  will  be  frequently  used  in  the  classroom.    This  is  the  first  year  we  have  done  this,  so  we  are  still  working  out  a  few  of  the  logistical  issues  with  the  process,  but  overall,  we  feel  that  this  will  be  an  asset  to  you  and  the  program  long-­‐term.        One  of  your  classmates  was  in  the  office  recently  and  walked  through  the  ordering  process  with  us  so  this  is  a  guide  to  how  you  need  to  proceed  (you  may  need  to  zoom  in  to  view  the  screenshots).        First,  you  will  need  to  go  to  the  following  website:  www.jblearning.com/catalog/9780763797843  

 Once  at  this  site,  you  should  see  the  Medical  Terminology  Basis:    Interactive  Programmed  Instruction  book/course  bundle  on  the  screen.      Proceed  with  adding  the  book  to  your  cart.

   Under  the  promotion  code,  enter  LIPSCOMBMT  as  the  discount  code.    The  discount  should  drop  the  price  to  $64.70  from  the  earlier  $82  price.

Continue  with  your  checkout.    You  will  then  be  asked  to  “register”  as  a  new  user.        

   

   Register  using  your  Lipscomb  email  address.    We  don’t  have  screenshots  of  the  registration  process,  but  it  is  self-­‐explanatory.    Go  in  and  enter  your  address  (where

they  will  ship  the  book  to,  etc.).    You  will  also  need  to  create  a  username  and  password  (remember  this,  you  will  need  it  to  access  the  online  course).    You  will  see  a  screen  with  your  discount  applied  and  it  will  ask  you  to  verify  entered  information  and  complete  checkout.    

   Once  you  complete  the  checkout  and  pay  for  the  book,  the  book  will  be  shipped  to  you.    Shipping  will  range  from  7  to  14  days  usually.    So,  it  is  good  to  go  ahead  and  start  this  process  to  allow  for  ample  time  to  go  through  the  material.

When  you  get  the  book,  there  will  be  an  online  ACCESS  CODE  for  the  course  material.    Please  go  back  to  the  www.jblearning.com  homepage  and  click  on  the  link  to  redeem  your  access  code  (link  is  located  on  right  side  of  the  page).        

   You  will  be  asked  to  agree  to  terms.

   Once  you  redeem  your  access  code,  you  should  be  directed  to  your  account  page.  You  should  see  a  page  that  is  similar  to  the  following  screenshot  (although  this  screenshot  will  have  additional  hyperlinks  that  you  shouldn’t  have  and  there  may  be  on  page  right  before  this  that  requires  you  to  “navigate  to  jblearning.com”):    

   At  some  point,  either  right  before  that  last  screen  or  right  after  you  click  the  hyperlink,  you  will  be  asked  for  a  course  code.    The  course  code  is  923924.    This  

Page 7: Medical Terminology Resource-1 - Lipscomb University

code  is  specific  for  incoming  nursing  students.    Once  you  enter  that  code,  the  following  screen  should  appear  that  looks  like  a  typical  online  course  content  system:    

   This  screenshot  may  be  slightly  different  as  “instructor”  versus  “participant”,  but  it  will  be  similar.    As  you  scroll  down  this  page,  you  will  see  12  Modules.    The  first  module  is  how  you  use  the  online  system.    It  is  not  set  up  as  a  standard  lecture  type  of  course  as  it  is  difficult  to  lecture  on  medical  terminology.    The  best  way  to  learn  the  material  is  to  dive  in  and  start  learning  the  prefixes,  suffixes,  and  root  words.    Each  module  will  have  activities  that  allow  you  to  practice  learning  these  key  components.      Each  module  also  has  a  quiz.    Please  make  sure  you  practice  first  as  you  only  have  one  shot  at  each  quiz.    We  are  not  grading  you  on  this  for  a  letter  grade,  but  will  be  monitoring  your  success  to  see  if  additional  study  or  resources  are  going  to  be  needed  to  assist  you  upon  your  arrival  in  August.        We’ve  had  a  couple  of  students  look  at  the  modules  and  they  thought  students  could  complete  a  couple  of  modules  in  one  evening  pretty  easily.    You  need  to  determine  your  own  pace  though.        Please  let  me  know  if  you  have  any  questions  or  need  assistance!    Feel  free  to  email  me  at  [email protected].    Also,  customer  service  at  Jones  and  Bartlett  Learning  can  assist  you  as  well.
