BCTC Fall 2013 Applicants

U.S.A. Kentucky

Published

Hi all! Just wanted to see if there are any other BCTC applicants out there. I'm getting super anxious about hearing whether I got in or not, and didn't know if anyone else wanted to discuss our waiting time! Best of luck to everyone. ?

Quick update- My tuition bill posted, and I spoke to financial aid today. Everything is in order... but they are still putting the financial packages together, and I was told they should be done and posted by the end of this month! So if you are like me, and still don't have financial aid on your student account... they are working on having everything in by the end of the month!

Quick question guys...I read a couple of months ago someone had posted their vaccination records from their UK Employee health info...were all of them accepted? Certified background.com rejected my varicella, TB, and hepatitis B records. Stating that previous history of the chicken pox doesn't count, my TB test isn't valid even though it was done 4 months ago, and that My vaccinations do no have the exact dates of my hep b vaccines. Did anyone else working for UK have this problem?

Also, how long did it take for your background checks to come back? I submitted mine Friday (7/5) and they still don't have anything on there except that I've ordered the background check. It's not even processing yet!

Yes i work at UK and took all of mine except the Varicella. You have to get the titer for that one and UK will not do it. A couple of mine rejected at first (TB and Flu) and i simply resent and highlighted the dates and such. They were then marked as complete.

Specializes in Neuroscience.

Had orientation today. They had a panel of the second year students there, which I thought was extremely helpful. I can't wait to start!

Ok, not sure if anyone reads this anymore.... anyway. Our first clinical day we have a medication calculation exam. Im terrified. I don't know anything about the subject.... and I know we only have so many times we can take it... I don't even know if we can use a calculator. To top it off, the bookstore called me, and they sent out the wrong book Nurse/math/meds book.... so the correct one is on the way, but may not be here before the first day of class.... which is next week!! Is anyone else having trouble? Is anyone else as freaked out as I am? :(

I definitely still read the thread...the program director sent an email out regarding the med math exam. Apparently they'll explain what's going to be on the exam on the first day. We don't actually have the exam on day one. The new book is in the bookstore now. I ordered mine the day I got the email, and it is supposed to get delivered on Monday. Since its Sunday, the bookstore is closed, but you should be able to pick it up then.

I just wanted to stop by the thread to say GOOD-LUCK to all our first year RN students! Believe in yourselves, study like you never have, and don't be too intimidated to ask questions or turn to your mentors for help. Ms L is always eager to help you practice skills, so don't hesitate to go to her and set up a time to practice with her. You can and WILL do this.

I look forward to seeing you all on campus, and would be more than happy to help you or answer any questions I'm able to answer, as would many of the 2nd year students.
