   On your clinical day, you will need before school care as you have to be there at 6:30am and likely after school care as well as you don't get out until after 2:30 (sometimes even later) and then the days get longer as the semesters go on. I think t...

   I will second all of this! I have full time care for my child and there is no way I could do all of this without it or the help of my husband in the evenings and weekends. In addition to that, it really isn't a good idea to try to work full time ei...

   I am currently in the program in 2nd semester. You don't need to have your CPR done by May 1st. You will get a lot of information at the orientation including some contacts to get this done. As far as the schedule goes, you will be in lecture all d...

   Not exactly sure since I switched from iPhone to Android but we haven't had any complaints with our Google site (not sure if that's different from group). It's really user friendly and you can have tabs like on a regular website to organize data and ...

   Yes, but even the instructors will encourage you to set up something outside of that because you will use it during breaks and the summer to set up things for the class, such as sharing notes, advice, cool reference links, asking questions, encourage...

   It would be a good idea to set up a closed Google site and/or Facebook page for the class so you can all communicate with the entire class a little easier :)

   I am not sure that you will be able to trade that easily. If you do find someone willing to trade, be sure to call the office and get it approved by them so that you can be put into the correct group.

   I agree they should have made sure to tell you that during orientation, I know they did for our class. But you are right that you will have no problem getting registered soon after they open back up. If you call the office they can usually get it d...

    You do not need permit codes to register for classes. Charlene puts those in so you will be 'cleared' to register for nursing classes. All you need is your CRN's which tells you which section you need to register for. The reason you may be getting...

    I have no idea, it usually is about 6 weeks but can be a bit longer. With all the changes with the new director, things might be running slow. I would give it a week and then you could call and ask when they would be sent out. Some others in my cl...

    You can only take the PSB once per year. If you don't get in this time around, you will have a better shot when you get that 15th point from your last prereq. You probably won't need to take it again. Good Luck to you guys!

    Great post by parkerfro! I will also add that our class that is coming in in the Fall let in at LEAST 4 waitlisters. The fourth person added did have 15 points, so it looks like most of our class had 15 or higher. There could have been more let in...

    It usually does take about 6 weeks from the end of the application period for letters to be sent out. The PSB is very important. If you have 15 points but got all 6 points on the PSB, that is usually better than having 15 points but not getting all...
