Anyone a current or alum? I just wanted to know some of the specifics about uniforms and tools-- I know it is very regulated and was hoping to get a jump start! Books, too...

So glad to be in, but also nervous! Wow! I would really appreciate some words of wisdom from someone in the trenches. Anyone else attending a hospital based, clinical intensive program? What should I expect, how is it different from other types of programs, anything I should be doing for the next few months before clinicals begin? A trip to Europe, as many mani/pedi's as possible, time with my husband, and sleep while I can get it have already been suggested! :rotfl:

Hi - I live right down the road from DRH and would love to hear more about your experiences at Watts (when, of course, you actually have time to stop and breathe!). I was considering them but MAN - they seemed really expensive to me. My mom attended a diploma program in the 1950s and I'm almost sorry that they're a dying breed; I'd kill for all the clinical experience you're going to have. I'm doing the second degree thing so I'll be applying for an accelerated BSN in the fall.

I'd love to hear more - I know this isn't the answer you were looking for but it'd be neat to talk to you more when you get a chance.

Just something to think about...

Duke Hospital System offers complete tuition reimbersment with a three year contract... around $7000 at the end of each year of work, post graduation. It makes Watts a possibility for me!

I'll keep in touch... wish me luck!

Thanks for pointing that out - if this doesn't pan out I may seriously look into that. Thanks so much for the info!!

And definitely GOOD LUCK. I'm very excited for you!
