   I guess I should change my screen name too! :roll Seriously, Orientation was a bunch of information to absorb, but it is extremely exciting. The best part was talking to the reps from SNO (Student Nurse Organization). They have a plethera of informat...

   Hey everyone! One of my friends let me know to turn in my nursing acceptance letter to financial aid because they did not have hers on file. I took it in today, and of course they did not have mine on file either. I am not sure if this affects the am...

   I just bought the books, and they are expensive! The good thing is that I was told they will be used throughout the program and that the first quarter is the most expensive. I am so excited as time draws near!

   Has anyone bought books yet since they are now available at the book store, or is everyone waiting until after orientation?

   Hello everyone! I was thinking that after we figure out which group we are assigned to after orientation, it would be nice to try to set up carpools for clinicals. It sounds kinda cheesy, but during this process we are going to be our biggest support...

   You already did your healthcare provider CPR? That is great! I have mine form my previous job, but it expires in January 09. I decided to take HT 198 since it will allow me to get my CPR and my HIV/STD certificate. I figure the class is only 10 days ...

   I am all about forming study groups and having that support system. I know I was surprised that many people did not feel that way. I also could not stand all of the competitive "hate" and words of discouragement people were quick to pass. I lost coun...

    I know what you mean about the whole anticipation thing. I have been bugging my hubby for the last 7 years that I want to go back to school, and I am fortunate enough that as soon as we were stationed here, I was able to start school right away. I kn...

    That is good to know. I have managed to find 2 alternate sitters for just in case moments. I know we will find out during orientation, but have you heard what color scrubs we will wear for clinicals? I am so anal about planning and am anxious to know...

    Amanda, I am extremely excited, and yes I am trying to mentally prepare to work my butt off. My obsession with getting good grades will not let me slack off! I am just nervous about uncertain schedules and child care needs.
