Re: Southwest Tn Community College

Hey Guys how was your orientation?

Re: Southwest Tn Community College

It was intimidating, but kinda exciting. I am totally ready to start clinical. I am super super nervous about foundations. Does ANYONE get As in foundations? is that even possible? Some of the teachers seemed like super hard, but then the Childbearing teachers seemed really nice.

you wont start clinicals until about 6 weeks or so into the semester.

the teachers themselves are not hard, the questions they write need a lot of work though.

it is definitely possible to get an A.

Re: Southwest Tn Community College

So some people actually get As in foundations, well that makes me feel alot better. so for the first 6 weeks, what do you do on your clinical day? do you go to the labs and practice there?

Re: Southwest Tn Community College

you will spend a couple hours in the classroom, then a couple hours in the lab. you will have these ridiculous objectives to complete the night before class. dont worry about them too much.

Whats the hardest part of Foundations?

Re: Southwest Tn Community College

That's great! I really want to attend this school! I have been studying for the NLN! I was wondering what do I need to focus on the most in math? I hate math! I have heard that the reading part is more difficult then the math! So what should I focus more on in reading and math?

the reading was quite easy.

math- study geometry
science- study physics

the teachers ambiguous test questions, just because your books and notes state A, if they choose B as the right answer on the test.....well its B.

there were a couple times i dropped from a 98 to a 92 b/c they made up their own answers.

Re: Southwest Tn Community College

Oh so you passed without trouble.. I think they just really scared the crap out of us acting like no one makes higher than a C and that you can just expect to make barely passing on every exam. If you don't mind me asking, What was your final grade in foundations?
