All I can say is I am definitly going to be BROKE!!!!!!:cry::lol2: Our books?!? $800 due on the first day of classes!!!:selfbonk:We didnt get into depth about what we are going to be studying and how the classes are going to work she said we will leave that until the first day...though she did not neglect to tell us that we will INDEED have homework the first night! Bummer. We went over financial aid and how to register for the class. First day is Aug 21st and we have alot of stuff we have to have done by then..physicals, background checks, shots, money, etc. Whew my head was spinning! :bugeyes:But I am way excited!!!!! We also have random drug tests throughout the year that are $25, that means you must have that on you at all times or its like you automatically fail and you get kicked out of the program. They are no joke. But anywho just wanted to let everyone know...my journey has officially begun!!:yeah:

P.S. Anyone else start in August??

Wow !!! I consider myself very fortunate to be in the program/school that I'm in....our local hospital likes to "homegrow" it's nurses, so it pays for all schooling/books/physicals/etc, and am guaranteed a job with them upon passing the NCLEX (not paid for...haha). Just have to spend X amount of time "working it off," or, they give you several months to buy your way out of your "indentured servitude" (of sorts ;) ) . I could get my license and immediately go work elsewhere, but would need to repay them $XXXX within 6 months, or something like that... I'm extremely pleased with the deal, as my previous profession is drying up in my area, and it's not a profession worth pulling up the stakes and moving elswehere, that much is certain.

Carry on, all y'all, and best wishes/luck/etc towards all of our schooling :smokin:

Yungnurse don't worry everything will come together smoothly, and even if it doesn't, this is worth the headache, that license is all worth it babe all worth it I am only a month into my program and I still get butterflies when I think of myself as a nurse good luck keep us posted.:nurse:
