xlilchatonx - It IS through WebAdvisor, dear...sign in, click on the "Prospective Student" icon instead than the "Current Students" icon that you would normally click to register. Then, click on "Admission Status" and the program should be listed. This is, of course, assuming all WebAdvisor screens are the same, regardless of region!

Yes, DaddyO, you were the PM I was referring to - when my "restriction" is lifted, maybe we can chat, lol! :chuckle Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that I hadn't ignored your message on purpose. I am also at work and I have a late class at Bergen after this, so I won't know until late tonight. If I hear anything before you, I will certainly post it!

This may be too late, DaddyO, but I got word from my friend - the packets arrive today! Apparently what happens is you need to fill out the background check and once that is cleared you are opened up to register.

Hope that helps!

Specializes in Obstetrics.

I guess my web advisor isn't the same. It takes me directly into current students.

"http://www.luzerne.edu/index.jsp"

On the right it is in yellow "Current & Prospective Students" and then it'll take you there, if you're a prospective student, you don't sign in and you can look at all the classes but that's it. If you want to do anything else you have to sign in and then they know you're a current student (bc only current students get a username & password) ... BUT I think as long as I pass the NET I will get in. I'm pretty sure of it.

Thank you though :]

:yeah::yeah::yeah:

Checking the list of things to do before the start of the semester. They say I need to get malpratice insurance, uniforms, some kind of kit and so on.

I was under the impression that the first semester or two would be classroom / lecture. Can you give me an idea on what to expect the first two semesters.

Also, since I have all my Prereqs done with the exception of MicroBiology, do you know if this will still take 2yrs to complete for the evening program ?

Lastly….and I am sorry for the 50 questions……hehehe but I read in one of your previous post about using a PDA. Is this necessary and please let me know if there is anything else I should consider purchasing.

Thanks !

Yep, need to do all of that - but get your background check started right away. If that is not back you will not be able to register. There are usually 2 sections sthat start each semester - if you have a friend in one, you can try to pick together - other tha that - I just went by which schedule I liked better.

The kit is a nurses it with syringes, suction set, dressings, IV bags, etc - stuff to practice with and you will have to bring it for you rlab evaluations - they don;t have the stuff - you need to use your own.

You will start clinicals in your first semester - but not right away - I thinkit was about a month or so before we started clinicals. Usually everyone is nervous about it - cause you don't know what to expect. But the clinical instructor will not leave you hanging - you will be guided. Basiclaly, you will get one patient, and you will do the basic care, and maybe give meds. Each clinical instructor is different - you may do meds each day - or may give meds every other day... it really depends. Clinicals for day program are twice a week, I am guessing it is the same for nights.

The first semester you will have fundamentals, pharmacology and physical assessment. Even though all the prereqs are done it will take 2 years.

The PDA comes in handy - but is not required at all. I think there are only 2 or 3 of us who have one. I'll send you a pm with my email address in case you have more questions.

Thanks for the reply...and I will send you an email...

just trying to understand the clinicals and having one patient. Do you mean this will be in a hospital ?

How many days per week will the evening class meet ?

trying to plan ahead with managing classes, with my work and Daddy duties.

Thanks in advance !

You will go Monday thru Thursday nights.

There are 2 sections (601 and 602)

Check your PM - I sent you the 601 schedule, but there was no room for 602. Of course, it is subject to change. See how tight the schedule is - that's why students enrolled in the night program have to have all their non nursing courses done beforehand.

Yes, clinicals in a hospital - with a real patient. When I was in level 1 - I went to St. Joseph's in Paterson, but they may have level 1 students going to an assisted living facility - as the clinical spaces for schools are hard to get - with all the hospital closings - all the nursing schools are trying to get the limited clinical spaces left.

Many people work and go to nursing school, and some with children. Your child is always a priority - but try to get help if you are the sole caretaker for your child at home. You WILL need time to study.

This was the procedure when I was accepted into the day program:

For the unforms - go to Belles in Paterson. The address is on the paper. This way you can try them on, and if any adjustments need to be made, they will make them (hemming, etc) You also get your name tag there.

You may also purchase your shoes there, which is convenient.

For the kit, send a check to the address on the paper telling you about the kit. The its are delivered to the school. There is usually a date on that sheet of paper of when your check must be received, for you to receive the it.

Congrats Winnie...

I just got the email saying my Background Check was all good. There is a block on anyone registering until this comes back. I am waiting for the school to receive the report and unblock my account so I can register.

I lived in Pa, NY, NJ, Ga and an Identity theft issue in California, so all these areas have to be checked, so mine took a little longer to get. Believe it or not...NJ took the longest to come back.

Like RnEdit said, there are forms for the Uniforms, and the Kits. I called M&M medical supply in Glen Rock, NJ that will supply the kits just to see what was in the kits.......all I were told was that all my disposables are in there (I was looking to here that the Stethoscope was included)....she said I can send in the form or go in person.

I am not sure of is Stethoscopes. I know we will need but I don't see any suggestions on what kind to get. RNEdit or Jjlaman...maybe you can help here ?

You will need to purchase a steth separate from the kit - it's not in there. Belles has steth for around $25, you don't have to spend more. Unless you want a better one. I have a hearing issue when there is background noise - so I bought a different one, that cost more.

There are several places online that have good prices for steths, but many of my classmates bought the $25 one at Belles and are happy with it.

Kit contains practice meds, gloves, gowns, foley it, suctioning kit, stuff like that. In the real world, they are disposable. But for nursing students, we use them over and over again. When you have your skills tested, you normally use your own supplies.
