Tri-C accelerated adn

No, I haven't, but I am determined to do that tonight! It is nearly impossible right now to get on the computer at home, and here at work, I cannot take my time for something like that.

I am in the process of getting hired at SW general and was talking to another nurse who went to Tri-C and he said as far as clinical sites they might as well put your name in a hat and pull it out. Where did you find the list of clinical sites?

All the clinical sites were listed on the course list that they put online a week or so ago. They seemed to do a good job of getting hospitals all over the area.

Oh good, I will have to look tonight. I have no clue how many are in our "class". I am so nervous/curious about the statistic that only 1/2 complete the course. Why is that? Especially given it is an accelerated program where we have all finished a bachelor's degree and the science prereq.

Where did you hear that only half of us will finish the program? I have heard that before as well, but I haven't heard it from the folks at Tri-C only second hand. Honestly, I don't believe it. I am sure we will lose plenty of people due to life circumstances changing (not being able to go to school full time, getting pregnant, moving, etc.) but I feel like the folks in the accelerated program are probably older, wiser, and better able to understand the commitment they are making when they start the program. I can see the drop out rate for the regular program being much higher than for the acclerated program, but even there 50% seems a bit high to me. I don't really know though and I hope we find out the dropout rate on Thursday!

I'm not sure either really, I have just heard it, and not only for Tri-C but for other programs, yes, I hope they address this on Thursday. I have heard from Tri-C graduates that the program is extremely difficult. I hope you are right!

Hey CraftyStar. I went online last night looking for the clinical sites. Were they in the course catalog, or something within "my tri-c space". I looked both places and was not able to find them. Hope you are on here today!

Did you join the ADN nursing group in your my tri-c space? Directions on how to do it were included in the packet of materials they sent out to us in Feb. If you take a look at the instructions on how to find the nursing student handbook, that should get you to the ADN group. Look under the 'files' tab for 'registration info sum-09' and click on 1300/1450 Accelerated and you will see the scheduling grid. That gives you our schedule options for this summer.

It seems they use the ADN group for general communication and it has been fun poking around. I was able to take a look at past sylibi to see what our books will likely be and there is a message board that has been good for sharing information. I would defiantely check it out!

Thank you, I found it! Much easier to plan things now! I think I might try for Bedford too, as my children will be with my parents those days on the east side. I bet everyone is going to want the same schedule where labs are back to back with lecture.

I am glad you found it! It looked to me like labs are back-to-back with lecture both Monday and Tuesday. The only difference is that Tuesday is a longer day since lecture is longer. The schedule isn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is nice.

I will go for clinicals at Bedford or South Pointe...both are pretty close and South Pointe has two sections. I am just glad I don't have to go into the city or go to the west side. I am not a morning person and that would have killed me!

This is really helpful; I felt somewhat lost before I found all of this, thanks again. No, it doesn't look too bad. Do you have to take psy2020? I am not sure if I do or not, all of my credits transferred and I have taken several psychology courses, beyond the general ones. Did someone look over your transcripts?
