Class of 2015

Congrats to all those that are accepted and will be the class of 2015. I thought it would be nice to have our own thread where we can support each other along our journey. Mine is an ADN program, but I know some will be BSN as well.

With all that aside has anyone had their nursing orientation yet? How was it? What are some of the costs you have to dish out? Did it finally sink in that you will be starting nursing school soon?

Mine isn't until May 29th 9a-3p. I do know that our tops will be white and our bottoms will be green. I also know we are required to have an iPad which is included in our financial aid. I also know I have to pay $66.00 just for the drug test. The program pays for our in state CORI/SORI but I had to pay for my out of state one which was $31.00. I just payed for that today. We will be required to buy the books, stethoscope, name pin, uniforms, warm up jacket, lab coat, and more. So exciting. We will also schedule our classes on orientation day.

Lets get to know each other so we can support each other :)

I have been accepted to an ADN program as well. Our orientation is June 6th. I'm really excited and nervous! I can't wait to get started. Wishing all of my fellow 2015 grads the best of luck!

I forgot to mention that I'll be starting classes in the Fall. We also have a boot camp a couple of weeks before the semester begins.

Is there a certain area that y'all want to work in when you graduate?? I'm wanting to be a NICU nurse!

I'm trying to keep an open mind and see what I like as I'm going through my rotations. Right now, ER appeals to me the most. But, you never know...something else may pique my interest once I try it :)

Congratulations to all!

I have been accepted to the Cuesta College RN (ADN) program in San Luis Obispo, California, and will graduate in May 2015....Any others out there who will be starting at Cuesta this fall, too? I'd love to hear from you! :)

My orientation is next month. I currently work in surgical services at a regional healthcare facility as a surgery scheduler.

I am really looking forward to starting nursing school in August!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Christine. Congratulations on your program!! I'm not too far away in Bakersfield & love SLO. I head over there every chance I get & would love to relocate in the area after I finish my ADN. Good luck to you!

I too am drawn to the ER, but I'm planning on keeping an open mind as I move through clinicals. Like you said, you never know.

Hello everyone! I'll be starting my ADN program in September! Our orientation is August 2nd so I don't have any information on that yet! Does anyone know what we should wear to orientation? I know, silly question but I wouldn't want to show up in jeans and a tshirt and be out of place.

As far as supplies we will have black tops and bottoms with a orange OSU patch on the tops, a black lab coat, white leather shoes, a iPad, a watch and stethoscope. Then we have to have a drug test, background check, CPR certification, and a physical. And of coorifice books lol.

Good luck to everyone!!

Mine said professional attire. But I don't know if that is at every college. So I will be wearing black pants, heels, and a nice shirt.

I would like either L&D, pediatrics (which I work now), or PICU :) I worked on a telemetry unit and med surg unit and I wasn't in love with those departments.

Woohoo, my orientation is in 2 days, so excited. It's 9a-3p.
