Hey guys! I was also accepted to Alvin's ADN program for Spring 2014. I also live out of district, about an hour away so it's not SO bad. I have so many questions that I suppose I'll have to ask at orientation, like what kind of shoes we can wear and if we can order a colored stethoscope lol. I'm super excited though, congrats to everyone else who got accepted. :)

Congrats!!!! They didn't mention color restrictions so I went ahead and got a pink one :-). As for shoes, they didn't mention so I'm using old danskos until they tell us.

I'm glad they are so organized! I already drafted my schedule, so I know we will be there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday :-).

I'm sure they will answer all of our questions in a few weeks, just make sure to write them down.

What do you guys think of starting a FB page for our entire class?

A facebook group wouldn't be a bad idea, a good way to share notes and things

I have a question for anyone willing to help! I have applied for Fall 2014. I have a 3.5 GPA and just made a 91 on my HESI. What would you say my odds are for getting accepted? What did you all get in with? I'm so nervous!

Hi. Sounds good so far. Have you finished all of your pre reqs. I think that would be the next most important thing that they would look at. Also, are you caught up with all of your shots etc? I think you have a good chance. A lot of people I talked to had a 90+ on the hesi.

Thank you so much for the reply! I've taken everything except dosage & fundamentals but plan to take dosage this summer. I've already completed the Hep B series also. This waiting game is tough!

That's great! I know it is tough. I think I found out another after submitting my app. I randomly refreshed my email and there it was! Good luck!!! FYI you should be able to take health assessment and dosage before officially entering the nursing program. If you can do that and your first semester will less stressful.

Thanks! I meant to say assessment and not fundamentals. I wish they offered the health care assessment this summer because I would take that also. I guess I can take it this fall if I don't get in lol. Do you think that one class makes a huge difference in the work load? Am I going to regret not taking it before acceptance?

JWhite223 · Mar 25, 2014

Not at all. I think it would be easier taking health assessment and fundamentals. A lot of the information crosses over. You will do a lot better in health assessment with everything you are learning in fundamentals. That's what I am doing this semester and it's working well. I think its tougher for those that don't take health assessment with fundamentals because you can forget the little things that you will need when going to clinicals for foundations.
