Hello. I am starting nursing school at UALR in the fall, too. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the clinicals for the first few weeks of school. I signed up for one at the VA, so I know that it will be at UALR, but does anyone know what time they start? Do they start at 7 in the morning, just like we were going to the hospital? Also, does anyone know if we are supposed to wear our uniforn during these simualted labs? Thanks!

Excellent questions! I hadn't even thought about it. . . .

Think they'll give us final instructions in class on Monday or Wednesday before clinical?

Wow. . . just one more week!

Hey. I bought the syllabus the other day and the first page tells us exactly what to do. We don't have to wear our uniforms. And I am pretty sure that we are supposed to show up a 7:00 am. I also bought the meds publishing computer program. I just set it up, but I am not sure if this is just to use as practice or if we are graded on it. Talk to you guys later!!

Thanks for letting us know! I haven't had a chance to look at the syllabi yet.

Hope everyone had a good first day!

How is everyone doing halfway through the semester?

Oh - - - and how's sim-lab/clinical going?

Hi everyone, I'll be applying to UALR this month. I was a student at UAMS in 2000 and had to leave due to a car wreck. I've decided to go back to nursing school and have chosen UALR to do so. Just curious as to how you guys are doing and what your impression of UALR is.

Thanks and hope you're having a great year!

so far, so good, KravGirl. I don't have anything to compare UALR to as far as nursing school experiences go, but I don't have any real complaints. Good luck!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions! :-)

My impression:
I graduated from there in May. I totally feel like I couldn't have been better prepared. I work with several new grads from UAMS, Harding, UAM ,
U of A, Baptist, and UCA (all seem to be great schools, by the way) and my skills/knowledge level was very up to par.
