  3. Meals on demand

    Hi! I work nights as a CNA and used to struggle with this so I made some adjustments. I got a huge bag of unsalted plain almonds from Costco, low sodium/sugar granola bars, oatmeal, cut fruit and veggies, water bottles, etc. Basically, finger foods ...
  4. Do your teachers round up grades?

    In my program, they did not round up. And as another poster mentioned, I also know of a few that were dropped from the program even within a tenth of a point. They have to draw the line somewhere and I was fine with them not rounding. Gave us more to...
  5. missed orientation

    For my program, orientation was mandatory. If you didnt show up, it was considered forfeiting your spot and it was given to an alternate. Best to check with school. Nursing school focuses a lot on hard deadlines and professionalism. I hope yours wasn...
  6. ATT long wait..

    I am a major control freak. But, its out of my control right now. We are now at the mercy of the board so no sense in driving myself crazy. They have everything they need to complete my file until I hear otherwise. I just keep telling myself this. Lo...
  7. ATT long wait..

    Yes. I am in CA though and I didnt/dont expect to have ATT for a while. Try not to stress about the ATT. That is the least of my worries. I will take this "extra" wait time to review and relax. It will come eventually [emoji3]

    @mom, I am not sure what the alternates are required to do, etc. I think they talk about it at the info session.
  11. College of the Canyons Fall 2016

    Dont trip out about it at ALL! Its very simple math. And like I said, you will have 3 attempts to pass it. No one in my cohort ever failed out because of the calc exam. You will have one for each semester with the exception of 3rd semester where you...
  12. College of the Canyons Fall 2016

    Congrats you guys!!!!! So happy the wait is over. Mom2livryaneli....do not give up hope and be sure to attend the information session. COC sends out acceptance letters earlier than most colleges. What does that mean? That alternates have a chance! ...
  13. College of the Canyons Fall 2016

    I am Happy to! First semester here it goes.....For the first 6 weeks, you will have two classes. Pharm and theory. Pharm is 2 days, theory is 1 day and the remaining 2 days are skills lab. I think its week 4 where you take the dose and calc exam. Yo...
  14. College of the Canyons Fall 2016

    You will get out of it what you put into it. Study any chance you get! I work and go to school. If you are committed to it, you will be just fine!
  15. College of the Canyons Fall 2016

    When I applied for Fall 2014, I did not have any healthcare experience. While i think it does offer you some point(s), its not heavily weighted.
