   FYI we had quite a few people who refused to be on Facebook during our first term last year. They ended up making a Facebook just for school. A lot of important info gets shared through there....ie questions to teachers regarding content, up coming t...

   Technically no they cannot consent if they are in a non-violent restraint. Because obviously they are not of sound mind, if they were they would not need a non-violent restraint. Technically if the POA is not available for consent it takes 2 medical ...

   It is hard to find new instructors. It requires a masters in nursing and it's pays less than say a hospital.

   My guess as to why it's taking a lot longer this year.....They have an instructor retiring this year and the application process to replace that teacher just closed as of April 28 per the employment section of their website. Hiring another teacher is...

   There are a few of us working that I know of. I work 24 hours per week on Friday and Saturday nights, which can be tricky during clinical's on Fridays. It's very demanding if you work and do the program, you have to have strict discipline and schedul...

   The program is good. Extremely fast paced. The first term was just trying to figure out the flow, the second term was insane. It wasn't until about week 8 or 9 that I finally felt like I could breath a little bit. It comes down to time management wit...

   I would honestly get it done now and not try to take classes between the 1st and 2nd year of the program during the summer. I am in the program, and if you have kids/family you want that summer time to refresh yourself. The time demands of nursing sc...

   I think they went though 13 out of 28 alternates. A friend of mine was #21 and made it to #8 by the time school started. I expect only 40 students will be admitted again.

   Yeah the grade make the difference, but honestly that is a really good score. Make sure that if you retake it and if you score lower the higher score still counts. The program is good. Super fast paced. The hardest schooling I've done by far. I would...

    I'm currently in the nursing program and from last year's scores you essentially need a 80 or higher to get into the program due to competition. 85 or higher will guarantee you a spot pretty much.

    I am on the Facebook, I'm the one that posted about possibly getting an updated schedule to plan life. They just confirmed my immunization packet was complete. Not sure if they do that for everyone, I personally asked for confirmation because I had s...

    Although you hold your BLS card you do have to have it recerted after after the June 15 date. I talked to Connie to make sure and understood. Essentially they want to make sure everyone's BLS is good for the full 2 years of school.
