I am pretty sure we start on the 24th and the "orientation" is just really meeting whoever it was that emailed us, i can not remember her name. I do not think its going to be an actual orientation just a meet and greet then we start the clinical. So basically just a regular clinical. Does anyone know about the so called uniform and if we need it for the first week?

We also need other items for clinicals. I think they should give us a orientation after everyones paper work is in but before classes start not after

I think we need info but I am really happy orientation is when it is, I have a trip till aug 15 and if I need to cancel or alter it will cost alot

Hello

I actually can't think of any difference between the terms. I graduated from BC at north
campus and started in January. One particular reason may be during the nursing
orientation, after receiving a brief explanation of the program and the kind of time and
dedication is needed, some may opt to deferred their seat till the next term to get prepared. Also, may meanwhile use the time to take the course they would need to take afterwards such as the humanities requirements which would be a lighter load to deal with, if they feel that
their lives is not suitable for the nursing program at that particular time. Another reason could be that they may be getting advise from someone and want a particular course or their break to fall at a certain time, as you may know summer classes are more intense due to
shorter time frame. However, personally I would not advised such move because
it is very common that you may have to drop a course or even remediate which would put you off course with the original class group and sets your plan off.

The nursing program is a very tough/fast pace and requires alot of hard work and more, more of your time and you will find yourself neglecting alot of things in your life. To summarize, you will eat/breath you books and need much prayer. But it is possible. I'm a horrible test taker and I failed proccess II and come back to passing the rest of the course and graduated/passed my nclex 1st try. So I believe it can be done. You must come prepare and make the adjustment necessary. Go for it and good luck.

So much to read!!!! Oh em gee!!! Glad I can read in advance.

Did you get a list of things to read already? or a syllabus?

Check your emails. North campus sent an update today.

Thank You

I just wished south would send out their emails already like north has :/
