Hey!

That's good, but no I will only be working weekends, I currently work the 3-11 shift.. But once school starts, I'm switching to 7-3... When I interviewed the professor said the current schedule was m&t lecture and w&th clinicals ... W Fridays off.. Idk if they'll be changing it.. I hope not the 3 day weekends would be great when we have exams.. What is chm 102? I took the health science chem at a previous school, I wonder if its the same..did they tell you or write that you needed that class? Thank you :)

Awesome. I hope they will keep that schedule.

They would have told you, when you applied & at your interview & in a letter. (Lol) if you have to take a different Chm.

Your set for Chm :)

I hope you don't take the "lol" in the wrong way.

They told me that many times.

I just wished I knew that last semester.

No not at all lol, I just wanna be sure, don't want any surprises... Did you try nd see if they had the chem at another school for summer? I wish this website notified me when there was a reply....lol ...

Tab11 · Jun 4, 2013

yes, I wish there was an alert or something.

Im not going to stress and try to find a school that offers the course now.

Because I have to take the summer CNA course. (I don't know the hours, etc).

Im not sure if I should take the chm this fall, spring... (I signed up for fall.. But Im not sure if I will switch to spring).

When are you taking the CNA-test out? GOOD LUCK

Do you live close to the school? Im from somerset co.

I hope you don't mind me asking you personal questions.. (No worries if you don't feel like answering them).

Im looking online for the NCLEX books and study guides. So far Barnes and Nobles prices are the same as the ones being sold on amazon and ebay. I cant study from a book that's already highlighted. I wish I could, it would be much cheaper.

Well, time for me to go to my Drs for the physical...

Im so glad I found you two... (sounds so cheesy, but true) lol

I would advise you to take the chem during the fall semester because the material for Med Surge spring semester is much more involved and harder.

Odilia38 · Jun 4, 2013

You're absolutely right, I forgot about the CNA course. You're right that's enough for summer lol... I take the exam June 19, thank you so much! I live in union county, so I'm about 25 min from the school. I feel you on the used books, cause I will get distracted reading someone else's highlighted work lol.. Yes I'm happy too cause its scary starting nursing school and not knowing anyone.. Especially for me, I'm really shy so I'm happy to have found someone as well, lol ..

Thank you EdenK, I know that I didn't start this post but I'm getting some really valuable info from you

EdenK · Jun 5, 2013

you are very welcome

Tab11 · Jun 7, 2013

Thanks edenk...

I signed up for Chm for the fall.

(I wish we got our schedules already, it would be easier to pick the best class.)

Is there any supplies that we need (that I can order now, for class?)

I ordered my uniforms. How long did they last you? I can't picture 2 white pants lasting long.. Lol..

(I ordered 2 tops & 2 bottoms).

Thanks

Terri.

@Tab11 for the fall your schedule will most likely be Monday 9-12 fundamentals Tuesday 830-11:30 fundamentals 12:00 to 1 pm pharmacology. That's for everybody Here is where it gets tricky. Based on your clinical group on either Monday Tuesday or Wednesday you will have skills lab from 1-3pm If you get Monday skills lab you have clinical Wednesday so you get thurs and Friday off. If you get Tuesday skills lab you will get thurday clinical and have wed and Friday off. If you get unlucky like I was you get wed skills lab you have to come in on Friday for clinical which only leaves you with only thurs off

2 uniforms will definitely last you. if you want extras just get some more white pants elsewhere much cheaper than getting them from the uniform place.
