hi, congrats on getting in. I may sign up for central or south.

My question is did anyone get an email after the orientation. The speaker said she will and send us a link for a form that needed updating or something else we need to print out if I recall correctly?

yeah she did say that....I did not get an email yet. She said that they were going to email us something that has to be notarized right?

Do any of you know if the hospital clinical hours at centra are really from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m both days, Tuesday & Wednesday. Thank you very much for your reply

That's what I saw on those papers we were given @ orientation the other day. But when you search for classes on BC's website, there are some clinicals that end at 3pm. So now I don't know, that may be for another campus, I have to look at the reference numbers and compare them to those that were on the sheet provided to us.

Yes, it's very confusing - which is why I thought maybe someone who is already in the program can let us know for sure if they have a few minutes.

I go to north campus, so I don't really know for sure about central, but I "think" its either T or W, not both days, 6:30-6:30. At orientation,when they gave you the reference numbers, did they specify which ones were for Central, North and South? I believe the ones that end at 6:30 are central campus clinicals, the ones that end at 2:00 or 3:00 is North, and 7:00 is south. North campus does shorter clinical days (for the first semester) but they go both T and W.

The schedule shows both days (T & W) 6:30-6:30 for Central - T or W for south (7-7) - and yes the schedule for North does show end time 2:00 or 3:00

not sure why Centeral is so long - 6:30 -6:30 both days

Its just how they set up the schedule, because they figure it out later if you go T or if you go on W. It's longer because you go one day not both. My friend is i n the online program, which is at central, and that is how it's always worked for her. I figure face-to-face is the same way. Also, I believe south goes only one day a week as well. At north, we go shorter days but we had to go both T and W, so it evened out in the end I guess. After the first semester at north, it changes and we go 12 hr days, too. sometimes we are there 2 days a week, sometimes only 1. Each course it was different for us.

Central should have a separate orientation right before school starts. This is different than the one you went to, which was more about the information on what needed to be done prior to the start of school. This one will be more like school policies, meeting the instructors, etc. North campus had the orientation when school actually started, but central did it before school started. They will explain how clinical works and campus lab days, etc. at that time.

I spoke to one of the instructors for Central and she said you go both days the first week but after that it will only be one day each week. She said you need to be available both days but you will only go one.
