We got into the CLC Nursing program...now what

According to the nurse at the Health Center, you only need to have started the Hep-B series with one shot before clinicals. I'm going for my 2nd one at the end of Nov. I also chatted with the nurse about the friends I've made here and how she must be seeing them, too. She just chuckled.

I really liked your answer, Lori, about the 3 credits/hold. That makes sense. I went to the Admin/Regist office yesterday and they reassured me that I'd have no problems registering for a class. I asked if they could remove the notification on my account, and they said it couldn't be done. Sure hope this doesn't indicate any more hoops that we gotta jump through.

Thanks, too, Diedra, for the idea of debinding books. I had never heard of that before! I'd love to give it a try. I think I'm gonna venture over to Big Lots in Kenosha soon and see what I can find for a durable rolling backpack. I'll keep you guys posted with what I found and prices.

As for clinical sites, does anyone know where Whitehall North or Westmoreland are located?

Thanks, Lori...
Anyway, I just pulled up the list of the required texts for the Program (Fall listing, of course as its too early to post the Spring). I'm thinking of posting a question about what editions could we use. I mean, afterall, if you are buying ALL your books when you first start, then, chances are you don't need to use textbook A or B until the 2nd or 3rd semester...so earlier editions would be okay? Hmmm...

Heather:

I was in the Health Center today around 9am to get my TB shot checked. Another lady was just leaving. Once I got back to the nurse, she said she had recently seen someone who wants to meet me. She asked if I was posting on "some internet site". I laughed and said "was it Heather or Lori". She said she couldn't tell me, but the first name would work. She then told me that the lady who just left was starting with us. That's why I was wondering if it was you.

I hope you guys find someplace to do the CPR. One would think that CLC would add some more for the people who were waiting to get into the program before taking it. I took it in the beginning of October - I hate to wait for the last minute on stuff!

UPS says my rolling backpack will be here today!!! I can't wait!

Diedra

Guess what I just found??? New CPR classes at CLC that we will be able to take BEFORE we start Spring semester classes!!! Of course we can't register for them 'til Nov. 19th, but they are on Friday 1/11 from 5-10pm and Saturday 1/12 from 8am-1pm.

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel SO relieved!

Just got a return call from my local fire department (Winthrop Harbor). They offer CPR Basic for Healthcare Providers via the American Heart Association. The class will be about 6 hrs long and take place on the weekend. Cost is $40. Once the December schedule comes out, they will call me back with a date and time. Anyone else interested? I'll keep you posted...
