Yeah! Excited to see you all! The package doesn't exactly tell me what to do for health requirement at this point. I think it mentioned i have to wait for them to send me instruction about that after i send in my letter of intent. Did u already got the email instruction? I just receive my letter today, so havent really do anything about it yet.

I did receive my email already. One of the things is having a 2 step TB test done. Lanakila Health Center says that once you have done a 2 step test, you don't need to take it again just the regular one every year. But I confirmed with the person handling all of the health requirements, that we do need to have the 2 step TB test done again to meet UH SoN's health requirements regardless of what Lanakila says. I had mine done at LCC's Student Health Center. They were so helpful. All long as you are an LCC student, if you have insurance it usually doesn't cost anything or there is a small co-pay. If you don't have insurance, it costs around $12.

I'm going to manoa Monday to drop off my letter of intent and check out the scrubs and stuff but I haven't done anything else.

Jujubees, is it walkins for the LCC student health center or is it by appointment?

keala, I was able to walk in and do it but I did call them first to make sure that it was ok.

There are a whole slew of requirements to be met. Mainly, they are hep B, TDaP, 2 step TB, titers, physical exam, forms, etc.

I went in and checked out their scrubs. When I asked someone random at the bookstore who scanned the scrub tops for me, she said they were $29 and I think the bottoms were like $15. I was told by the nursing school office (advisor) that they were like $10-$15. I hope they are more like $10-$15 than $29. The office did say that people typically buy a couple pair of scrubs and at least 1 or 2 polos.

Thanks for the heads up.... I just see the dollar signs adding up but it'll totally be worth it.

The dollar signs add up quick! Congrats spring class of 2012! I also have 2 pairs of green scrub pants, unisex, size med if anyone wants them. I recommend 2-3 polos and 1-2 sets of scrubs, you can wait for a few weeks on scrubs because you don't actually start simulations or clinicals for the first 3 weeks, it also depends on how often you want to do laundry. Have you checked out professors yet? I would recommend mine, she's cool, actually most of them are pretty good. Its an awesome program.

going2BaNurse2014, thank you so much for your advice. It helps a lot. I will take the pants if you still have them.

Which professors would you recommend? I haven't even thought about that yet. I am still in the process of getting through my health requirements.

Yes get your health requirements done ASAP, that gives you earlier choice of instructors. I'm partial to my clinical instructor, Mrs. Hodges, she's really sweet and we did most of our clinicals at one place (the VA), all of the other groups rotate around, but I think we got to see a bit more stuff than the other groups. I would also recommend Brooks and Wang, Tari-Sanchez is also great (she specializes in geriatrics) but I'm not sure if she's going to be teaching in the Spring, hopefully so, she is great too. Brooks is the main coordinator for N210 so you will see her a lot. They are all really cool though.

The other groups go to other rehab and nursing homes like palolo, hale nani, and they also get to go to Halawa, we didn't get to do halawa, which would be cool but I'm very happy with the clinical I picked. I know my whole group is.

When is your orientation(s)?
