Hi. I've recently found this website and have found many informative postings in the forum and figured I'd give it a try. I will be starting nursing school at Good Samaritan College next week and was wondering if any former or current students have any words of advice for classes at Good Samaritan, specifically the difficulty of the A&P and Chem classes as well as the Clinicals. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Re: Question for former and recent Good Samaritan Students

Hey There!! I am starting NUR 300 at good sam. I really like the college and the professors, they are tough but you learn alot from them. My first semester was a big shock, and it was hard, but you just have to take it one day at time. Good sam grads are well prepared and have an outstanding reputation!! just keep that in mind. I can't tell you much about A&P b/c I didn't take it there. I have heard that it is difficult, but I don't anyone who didn't pass. Chemistry was not so bad for me. I don't like that stuff but the professor is awesome!! he is so funny and really wants you to learn, and will do everything in his power to make that happen and meet your needs. Just talk to him, get to him, and make sure he knows you are trying

Clinicals, like I said are difficult. There is alot of preparing, paperwork, writing...etc and takes up a lot of time. The instructors expect preparedness! know your meds!! at least the one's that I have had are like this. In the end they really want you to learn and be great knowledgable nurses. I think if you speak to a new grad from good sam, they will tell that this school has prepared them pretty well for the real world

So, with that said you just have to take it one step at time and don't get discouraged if you have a bad day or test b/c it happens to all of us. Good luck !!!!!! and happy semester
