Applying to MDC RN Generic Prgm for Fall 08

Published

Stressing! I am applying to MDC RN prgrm for the fall of 08 with a 3.2 and will be taking my last two pre reqs over the summer and GPA will be a 3.5 once i'm done with the summer semester. Not exactly sure how they will decide on whether or not to accept me but I'M TOTALLY ANXIOUS! (have not even turned in my application yet) LoL Someone, ANYONE, pls HELP! There is all this talk about how difficult it is to get into the prgrm and NOW i'm worried i'm not going to get accepted!:uhoh3::uhoh3::o

Tiff,

I already had all the actual immunizations done, I finished those last week. I did the drug testing today. The only thing left is the physical which I will do at the end of this week.

YSB82,

I[m going to go ahead and do the hospital scholarship program.

Hey GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Long time no see. I am so excited. I have been so busy rapping up on summer classes, I have almost totally forgotten the blogs!

I have been up the wall with all these papers. I am taking the course on CPR on Saturday. I had to wait a while, money is a bit tight. I did the drug test, and the background test, but the immunizations and doctor has been insane. I have to wait because my doctor is on vacation!

I already did the titer's and I have immunity to Hepatitis. I also did on set of the TB. I already called in to say that my papers would not be ready for the 21st due to my doctor, plus it took me forever to get my insurace on the run.

Going there for all these test without insurance...is murder on myself. So I went ahead and started everything, on the medical I am half done, but I have to wait 10 days or more for the other set of the TB test and there are two immunizations which I need, so I have to wait for when I do the TB test ( I have no idea why.) That is what my doctor said. I just go along I guess.

So Maria let me know that as long as she has all that paperwork before my clinicals I am fine. I am half done so I am not too stressed anymore, but I swear I was running a heart attack trying to get everything done with the clinic. It is almost impossible to try and run with your doctors schudule. Plus I don't think he understood how urgent it was for me to have everything done in a hurry. I almost wanted to cry.

Aside from that everything has run smooth. Can not wait to go to orientation and finally take that test too. I want to see where I stand. I am curious on that.

Anyone seen tha uniforms for RN students? I am confused. I went to get the book for the CPR class...I had a sneak peak and saw something that said nursing coat. Is this what we are supposed to wear? I thought we wore scrubs to the clinicals? I guess if no one knows we will find out now on the 21st.

P.S What a long orientation! From 8 to 4:30 LOL!

That is going to be a lot of info. I am still excited though.

Also glad to see everyone is finishing their paperwork and everything. It is so nice that everything is going so great.

Hey YSB82, did you already confirm your acceptance by email to the Scholars program. I'm also curious as to when the Jackson orientation is going to be. I can't wait to finally register for classes on Monday. That's probably going to be a hectic day!

Hey Everybody,,,, So what did you think about oreintation yesterday? Honestly, I kind of thought it sucked... And, I thought that some of the speakers were downright disrespectful to some of the students.... WAY different than how I imagined it.... I wanted to fall asleep one minute and then the next minute I thought......WOW,,, Monkies could have organized something better than this... What did everyone else think??

Yes. Orientation was not what I expected. Very boring and redundant information.

BLAH. I just want classes to start already...and get the TEAS test thing over with today.

The orientation was boring and a lost of time. Too many information that we already know, for example parking, students IDs, cheating on exams etc,,,,,Topics like financial aid, loans, and important things were not so easy for me to understand. I needed a better explanation. I was today in the financial aid office and they told me everything, but at the same time they didn'y say nothing. Also, the registration was a lack of respect for all of us. I took the TEAS test this morning, is boring and tedious.

It was a mess. Too much time was spent on things that weren't that important. And then things like financial aid, and registration issues were rushed through.

They did not even stress the fact that you have to pick classes from either sequence 1 or 2.

You know what? I am down right scared of starting nursing. Everyone has me freaked out. Also I believe that some of the speackers were mean, and not very helpful. They spoke to us as if we were idiots or something.

Anyway aside from everything it was boring. About the test (I did not do so well on that math portion) It was so stupid. I mean I think if anything they should stress a little more in the future to try and study a little more. I mean I did not find it to difficult, but it was in fact tedious and annoying. By the end I just wanted to finish already.

What do you guys think about starting nursing? Is anyone else scared? I mean I am scared, because everyone is making it seem that I will not be with my children or with my husband. That I will not have time for anything. A girl said that the test were composed of 16 chapters which she had to study for in a week. I mean WOW!

I mean how am I going to manage my children when I will have to study all the time!

I think exactly the same as you!!! orientation was toooo loooonnnggg!!!

The ATI test thing wasn't organized at all, I asked for the day off today in my job and now I have to request tomorrow off because they change my exam date...:down:is a mess!!!

They make you feel like everything is impossible, I am scared and thinking in loans, I'll have to quit my fulltime job.... :banghead:

I am exited about the nursing school, but stressed about so many things!!!!:uhoh3:
