Anyone Else Having Nursing School Orientation This Week?

[Shookclays]

I am starting fundamentals this semester (done with all pre-reqs YAYY!), and tomorrow is our orientation day. I'm a nervous wreck to say the absolute least. Anyone going into orientation soon, or has already went? What was your experience if so?

my orientation was december 8th. i start january 17th. we were instantly given 8 pages of medical terms to remember, med math homework that we were expected to know and our first weeks syllabus for fundamentals which consist of a lot of reading. orientation also went over rules and regulations and we were introduced to the faculty of the department.

Wow! So we're all graduating in December of 2018?! How exciting!

Jumping in a bit late. I had orientation on Friday & classes start Tuesday. In November, we were told to study a dosage calculation book front-to-back and know it before we start the program. There's plenty of terms and abbreviations (100+) in it that week need to know, too. Taking a 200 level Patho (I wasn't able to do it earlier without losing a semester), Assessment, Foundations, & Interventions. The nervous puke feeling is strong. It's a BSN program that ends in 4 semesters, so December 2018.
