Even paid a premium to take my HC Provider CPR two nights before deadline, but the package has a flyer and notice for people not to forget their CPR class before first day. 'least I got it outta the way.

The program booklet does have quite a few things blown outta proportion to how they actually operate and select.

Pediatric/Neonatal ICU...here I come!!!

CONGRATS godspeed!!! YAY!!!!

[maurabartley]

If any Spring 08 are here, can you let us know what your schedule (class and clinical) is like? I know it could change/be different - just looking for an example or two....

THANKS!

I hope everyone gets in!!! Yay! I hope to have a pretty good chance getting in also considering I have a high GPA in my support courses too. GOOD LUCK!!

How to apply Methodist/ El Centro??

Congrats to everyone who got in!

Before the program started, I tried to get my stethoscope, penlight, various study guides, and the normal school supplies. If you have long hair, you might want to consider making sure you have enough ponytail holders and hairspray. I bought black socks, but they made my feet sweat too much, so now I just wear normal white socks. Also, I bought my shoes and scrub pants ahead of time. The scrub pants offered through the school aren't the most flattering in the world.

Keep your eyes open for sales over the summer and again, Congrats!!

Hi, Jaxia - thanks for the words of support!

The scrub pants are black, correct? With black shoes...

I just pulled the list of books for NLC RNSG 1423 for Spring 08...What do we REALLY need? And what is REALLY good to have?

THANKS!! The real stress begins....

Must be an employee/volunteer for 6 months and all of your primary pre-reqs and secondary support courses completed before you apply.

Got my acceptance packet late last night! I'm in at El Centro! Can't believe it - its been a long haul and I know its only just begun Yes, it would be a great idea to start getting some of the supplies, books, etc over the next few months rather than hitting all that debt at once right before school starts. How many sets of uniforms are recommended? Can we buy scrubs elsewhere rather than just at school during the fitting? Wow, so many questions I/we are going to have. Congratulations to everyone and have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Kristina

Got my first choice - El Centro. Seriously considered North Lake, but El Centro was more practical overall. North Lake would have probably required a move and my apartment is in a good area and CHEEEP! Got so much to do before September, the last thing I want to worry about is finding some new diggs... Parking is crap @ EC, but I'll need to go hard core with the train. Have considered buying a motorcycle...
