That is a really good book by the way!
I bought is last semester and it was worth the $$.

I actually read about someone getting it in another post so I decided to get it too!

I just got my letter yesterday and started on all of my paperwork today. The only thing I have left is to have my TB test read on Saturday. We have orientation on the 3rd of June and begin class September 2nd. I don't know yet anything certain about the hours, but from what I hear it's either Mon - Thur or Tues - Friday. I don't know if we get to choose or not. I can't wait until orientation to find out more!

Congrats to all of us fall newbies!

I thought I'd jump in here and join you all. I start Aug 25th at OU for the traditional BSN track. I'm a little older (will be almost 32 when classes start) and have a hubby and two kids (boy, 6 and girl, 3) so I'm a bit nervous to see how going to school full time will affect us.

We already had one orientation a week after acceptance letters were sent and then we have another one in the beginning of Aug.

Good luck to all of us!

I live in SC. I am starting in Fall of 2008!!! So excited. I am a little concerned b/c I am married and have a 3 year old. We start on Aug 18. Our clinicals are 7-11:30am thursdays and fridays, but the days change every 5 weeks. (start of new class) At my school each Nursing class lasts 5 weeks. So it is only 3 courses a semester.

I am taking Micro and Statistics over the summer, but at least I get about 18 days off before Nursing courses start.

Congratulations Everyone!!! I remember how excited I was when I got my letter of acceptance. I would like to say to you all, study hard but still try to spend time with your family. Correlate your subject by using a nclex rn review book. Your first course is fundamentals. Start answering questions on the saunders nclex rn on fundamentals. Learn to answer nclex style questions early.

Good Luck to everyone.

God Bless!

I have orientation Aug 25 in wayy northern california. So many things to do!!

I got in too! I live in Northern California, have a husband and 2 wonderful (most of the time) girls. My school starts on August 20, but before that, we’ll have 2 orientation days in July. Clinicals will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 to 1 AM ( as far as I know for now, it may change).
I’m exited and nervous altogether to start this new adventure. I ‘m thankful for that forum to have a support community. I didn’t even start nursing school and look, have nursing study buddies already!

I've done almost all of my pre-reqs, although I'm taking a couple courses over the summer (elective and developmental psychology) to finish those up. Other than that I'm all done!
