Yes the sip includes the syllabus and other Info would need throughout the semester. It even had some info on the different assignments we will have. It's the icon above the one for the schedules on the link someone posted above. :-)

I'm willing to do study groups too!! Once we get out schedules at orientation I am going to have to set my plan of action for my daughter too... Looks like she will either be staying the night with grandma or going to daycare at 6 in the morning :-/

I don't have that luxury, my mom is out of town on business a lot. :crying2: Daycare is looking to be my option but it's A LOT!!!

Yes I think our work load is going to be very intense :( Is anyone going to work during the program? They recommend that you don't. I can't wait for us to start this journey!

I plan on working this first semester but if it's too much for me or my daughter, I plan on quitting. My boss is very helpful and willing to work with my schedule. One of my co workers is at utmb and she works 3 days a week, but she lives at home and has no kids :-/

Thats really good that your boss is willing to help you out. One of my friends is in the san jac program said that first semester is the hardest but once you get use to the flow of nursing school after the first semester it gets easier.Which I guess makes sense. So maybe try to work as little as possible in the beginning and then work more afterwards.

Sunshyn_42 ....I could not reply to the email that you sent me because the site did not give me the option to reply.

But here is a lil info...Our clinicals was in Clear Lake but we only had 20 people. I know that your class will be about 70 students so like we were told your clinicals could be anywhere from SW Houston to Clear Lake. Just hard to predict. And yes the SIP is a lot and trust me it is as intense as it appears...The catch to this whole thing is to find a study method that works for you and manage your time very wisely. You will be offered an opportunity to sign up for a mentor which consist of nursing students that just finished their first semester of nursing. Sign up to get a mentor. I know most all in my class would agree that the mentors were very valuable in providing tips and info on saving time, best guides and methods for studying and staying on top of things etc...
