Last Thursday I was at the college for the purpose of collecting my Chemistry grade with some classmates. Apparently, there was a graduation ceremony for RN's going on that night as well, and my friends started talking to one student to ask her about the program. I didn't hear the entire conversation, but one of my cohorts told me the student had stated that ELEVEN people had failed out of NUR-181 alone during her course!
Now, there's always a chance there was some sort of misunderstanding or miscommunication, but does this sound right? For what it's worth, I would think the application process and competitiveness of getting in to the program would assure a strong student population, so it makes me nervous to hear these things. I already received some insight from someone privately, but I was wondering what the public population made of this info.
Hey all! For those in the program now, what does the uniform look like?? I know the uniform place sew patches on the uniforms; is it possible to buy the patches separately? I'm asking because I thought maybe I can get different white pants or scrub shirts else where and just sew the patches on myself. Just trying to find ways to save money. Also, I'm always cold and I will probably need the suit jacket, does that also have a Bergen patch??
Thank you in advanced :)
Hey Gabby I purchased a uniform set and I also purchased the jacket and yes the jacket does have the patch
you will need to get the bandage scissors (good to have but you may not use right away), stethoscope (make sure it has the bell and diaphragm)....and i believe i had a pen light in my kit...i am almost certain of this. you will definitely need the pen light...and if you can get a small ruler that would be helpful too.
fyi.. if you decide to purchase the littmann stethoscope at belle uniforms the $60 one has those little gadgets..i figured it was worth it.
for the evening program, I know we have classes monday/tues and clinicals weds/thurs. does this mean we don't have to go to school on weds and thurs until clinicals start? also,i just wanted to make sure about the uniforms. do we need to wear uniforms at school?
has anyone taken the cpr course at wayne? how is it?
I had the class today. It was from 6-9:30 but it goes soo fast since it was mostly hands-on. We had a 20 question quiz at the end but it was pretty easy. Dave (instructor) says that he usually mails out the cert the next day so I should have my cert by Monday.
