Calhoun CC Fall 2014

Published

Anyone applying for Calhoun's nursing program this fall? I am and I am really anxious and excited!!!

Ok, thanks. Mine is just still pending and I keep getting emails about it. I didn't want to sign the waiver because I wasn't declining the shot.

Also, what is everyone taking on the first day of class? We shouldn't need our nurse packs or our supplies, just the books for that class. Correct?

U have to address each section. They told me to sign the waiver and just write on it that I would be taking when they become available. You also have to provide ESS with your final Hep B or whatever series you at not have completed.

I'm not taking the Nurse Pack or the Med Surge books. I am going to keep a tote in my trunk and put my Pharm book in there until that class. I got a rolling backpack and a large "31" tote and it's still jammed full.

Ok I wish they would have addressed these things in orientation. I faxed in a paper saying that I will get the vaccination when made available.

Is everyone wearing their uniforms the first day? I don't think it's mandatory but I don't want to be the only one not wearing it if most people are.

I think I am going to because the school will be in uniform besides some of the upcoming students.

I got my flu shot at Walgreens Tuesday morning. It's this year's vaccine. Doctors should start getting them in soon; the pediatrics office my kids go to is starting their flu shot clinics in a couple of weeks.

I'm planning on wearing my uniform since I have everything.

I was wondering about the uniforms as well. I think I will wear mine because it is mandatory, they are just giving lenience for new students.

The excitement for school has worn off for me. Now I'm just ready to start...I had a dream, no nightmare a few nights ago I failed a class by -1 point. I want to start working on my books now so come on Monday!

I just wish ESS would email and let me know if my items are accepted. I kept getting emails that I was missing stuff, when I wasn't so I called them and they said oh yes it's here. ARGHHH. Our insurance only covers flu shots from our doctor and they don't have them yet. I had to sign waiver for Hep B since 3rd shot won't be given for 6 months and I'm also missing my second varicella. I have to take the 2nd shot Sept. 3rd. I had chicken pox and so did both of my kids but my titers came back negative. I am totally shocked.

I am wearing my uniform. It was freezing in there at orientation so I will have to wear my lab coat. I only bought 2 so I will pretty much be ironing them nonstop.

Seen where they posted reading assissgment for Nur 103, but I don't have the book. Did anyone purchase this book? It wasn't on the list and when I went to bookstore the other day they gave me everything I thought.

OMG they sure did and even when you click on the class at the bookstore it lists the Fundamentals book as the only one necessary. That expensive bundle doesn't even have it in there. I just had to buy it on Amazon for 80 to get it here by Sunday. Good grief.

I thought maybe I was over looking something. I will have to get on Amazon too and order it.

They definitely have an error on the Decatur website under that class listing.
