First, let me just say what a miracle it is that I have found this site
Second, is anyone else starting their first year of school in September? I FINALLY decided on which school I was going to attend (It was between two that I really wanted to attend; so nerver-wracking, I lost sleep over it lol), but I was excited about it for only a second, and then the worry and nerves set in. I'm so scared I'm going to do something wrong during clinical, flunk out, make no friends, or be the target of an evil clinical instructor. Anyone else feel even remotely like this.
I guess it's because this is something I want so much, it's honestly a dream come true that I'm starting nursing school in the fall. I know I need to focus on the good things more than the bad, but I'm having some trouble!
Any of you who are beginning ns for the first time nervous/scared/worried about this new journey they're embarking on??
I did find out that my program will accept my previous pharmacology. There was some concern about whether it would transfer. Whew! That email was like getting a giant bouquet of flowers this afternoon! One less thing to worry about. Its all coming together. Now, just to finish the closets and paint.
Thats great!! I thought ns was a program that everyone in your group took the same classes even if they had already had some of the classes... Now I'm thinking that I need to call my school and ask about a couple classes I have already taken. I took pharmacology and clinical calculations as part of my prereqs but I ended up going to a school that has both of those classes as part of ns curriculum. It would be SWEET if I didn't have to re-take those classes! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
I'm nervous as crap. LOL I'm excited too, but mostly nervous. My roomie applied and didn't get in, so that made both of us sad when I got my acceptance letter.
I wish she was going with me.
Good luck to you! I think this website will be very helpful when classes begin!
Congrats on your acceptance!!
Its too bad that your roomie didn't get in with you, but you should still be very proud of yourself! Hopefully by next semester, she? will get in also.

Definitely call and check. When I called there was some going back and forth, checking transcripts and catalogs, and submission of the syllabus. My instructor sent a nice email, too. I know some classes absolutely require you take (or retake) the classes at your new institution. I thought pharm might be one of those. Some classes seem to transfer across the board and others seem like there is picking and choosing. Pharmacology is challenging and the content is so important, that it would serve me to take it again, but if I can review on my own rather than stress about tests and grades, it will actually serve me better, I think. Maybe I could take it again, credit/no credit. But if there is anything I don't have to repeat, I would rather not!
I start in September as well and am pleased to see that everyone else is as freaked out as I am! lol. I'm excited, nervous, scared, petrified, exstatic, doubtful, anxious and worried all at the same time..lol. Overall I'm excited though... I've waited 3 years to get in and now I finally am! I'm trying to have the best summer possible efore my life, socially atleast ends in September. Right now I'm taking a summer dosage class just to refresh and I'm surprised at how much I remember! It's a good feeling!
I had orientation a couple weeks ago, and they definitely do try and intimidate you....and there's definitely a lot to do, health records wise before Sept. I also have to take the CPR class this summer.
But anyway, this website is great! Let's stick together people!!!

Congratulations!!
There is nothing like working hard for something and finally having the work pay off... Not that the next couple of years aren't gonna be tons of work, but now there is an end in sight! Do enjoy the rest of your summer, you have earned it!
Its too bad that your roomie didn't get in with you, but you should still be very proud of yourself! Hopefully by next semester, she? will get in also.
Thanks!
Yes, she's applying during the next admissions cycle. *crosses fingers*
nervous, scared, excited...the list goes on. mostly excited, though. i have orientation on friday. i will meet my instructors, my classmates, order uniforms, etc. it is beginning to feel real. my program requires applications the year before you want to attend, so it was a long 10 months waiting for that letter and now it is almost here.
