I haven't felt the need for a PDA yet. Some schools rave about them (some even require them)- not DBCC. I would spend the money on a really good stethoscope. IMHO.

I missed finals frenzy. How was it? Do you feel like it helped to prepare you for the final? Did they have a sample exam?

They had a mock final and at the end went over what you missed with you. They said it was fairly accurate as to what the final would be like. I think it made things clear for me.

Orientation today was great, learned lots, it was a little boring to start but then things picked up. We were told about the new curriculum and the program has been condensed to 4 semesters.
I got the schedule I was hoping for, I have Wanda Lear for Nursing Process and Lab, Lillian Rosati for Foundations.
Question, do you all use PDA's at all? My mother-in-law has been hinting about buying me one for Christmas but I don't know... is that something I need? I was thinking maybe a stethoscope or one of those bookbags on wheels.

Wow, 4 semesters? So what's that going to be like? When does that make your graduation date?

now im really kicking myself for oversleeping. were there a lot of questions?

It was 100 questions, just like the real final. It was good but I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't forget to study the 'little things' like communication, healthcare delivery system and such

Guys, I got the William Murray scholarship!!! I start 1/09. I'm so happy, it will help a lot. Please apply next semester, it was super easy and you never know what could happen. Good luck to all on your finals (mine is Monday) and take it easy this weekend.:redpinkhe

How did you get it? Just by applying online? When did you recieve your letter? I applied but haven't heard anything yet!

Congratulations~ that is fantastic

This scholarship is awarded directly through the nursing dept. You need an unoffical copy of your transcripts, 2 letters of reference, and an essay about your goals (the instructions are in your syllibus) Turn it in before 2/28 (I think) and they will mail you a letter explaining the rest
