I have clinical at the hospital where I work a.from what I've heard some people had to sit out certain semester because of they weren't able to find  clinical placement but they do have a list of sites that are affiliated with .

Do you have to wear all white scrubs that obviously make you stand out as a nursing student?

I am currently in 4th semester. It is tough...I won't lie. I am not passing...just 3 tests left and I am praying for the best outcome/points possible. 

Is there anyone that has completed the entire program? I would love your insight.

@MoM23LVN I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. What do you find to be difficult? Hoping you pull through and get the points you need! Please give us newbies some insight on the program.

@Christina Martin Mental health is 3rd semester I believe. 4th is advanced MedSurg and some leadership course (not sure what that is).

I studied Saunders pn-NCLEX. I got the app from Google play, and did nothing but practice questions when I had time.

I am in the online class. We do not get recorded lectures. We are provided with power points with a voice over and some additional notes. The online course is basically self taught. Some weeks we are provided with Simple Nursing added notes. It is important to stay on top of your work. If you fall behind it is hard to catch back up. 

As far as the program...it's doable. I work full time M-F and have a busy family. I find myself studying late at night and on the weekends. The school is not good at communicating when it comes to clinicals (personal opinion). The most important thing I could say is you HAVE to understand the "why" behind all medical conditions. You are not taught the pathophysiology...so this is SUPER important to understand. This is where I disagree with how we are provided our information. A power point is not teaching. 

ALSO...they preach about doing 75-125 NCLEX style questions daily! This may be a game changer to newly enrolled students. It was only "told" or "suggested"....if they would be more forceful about it I think I would have done more of those, just hard to fit in the time.

75 to 125 NCLEX questions daily is alot!! Do you have to turn those in?
