Yes, let us know how it went.

Congrats! Keep up the good work! : -)

Have you heard back about your acceptance status yet?

I was actually just coming on to see if any of you had heard yet and see that xptp beat me to the punch.

It shouldn't be much longer but I know it feels like years...keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.

HI there-

Thanks for checking. I did get in!! I am so really excited, it's the Evening/Weekend program, which is what I wanted. Orientation is May 5th. I can't wait so I can find out all about it.

Thanks for all of your support!

YEA CONGRATULATIONS

I can't believe I will graduate in about 30 days. So it is possible and it does go by fast (at times..LOL)

Where did you sign up to do clinicals, the cities or St. Cloud?
Let me know if there is anything I can help you with and again CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi there and thanks!

I will do my clinicals in the Twin Cities. What about you? What's orientation like? What about the load of information and the class content? A&P 2 is getting so tedious, although I'm doing fine. I am trying to figure out how I am going to arrange my time. There is a possiblity that I will be going through a divorce and am currently seperated. I have an 11 year old daughter so I'm just trying to figure out schedule wise. When did you start the clinical weekends? Also any advice about what to brush up on over the summer? I fill be working full time as I have to and can't leave my current job it supports me, but it;s not in healthcare. THanks for all your support!

I did clinicals in St. Cloud (and just got hired as a new grad there on the ortho/neuro floor :hatparty: As far as what to do over the summer....enjoy your summer off!!! It's very hard to do anything to get ahead on. Maybe review your anatomy stuff as that is an important component of disease process etc.

The first month you will feel totally bombarded by information, try not to panic We all felt that way and we survived. As far as managing time, the best thing is to NOT GET BEHIND, it is very hard to catch up and since most of the stuff you will need to know and be tested on is how you understand things, not just memorization, it is almost impossible to do it all right before the test. And just remember, one step, one day, one project at a time. Also, make a good friend. There will be times you want to throw in the towel and it helps to have someone who understands to lean on.

The first semester there are only a couple of clinical weekends, most are on campus so you will start at 0800 and most of the time be done by 3. But try not to worry about that yet, enjoy the satisfaction and fulfillment of accomplishing just getting it!!

Sorry about what you are going through, I went through alot of personal tragedy and stress during the program myself (we can talk about that later if you want) but it is possible if you want it bad enough!!
