Calhoun part time ADN program Questions

[RedChair]

Hey Everybody,

I have applied to the Calhoun part time/evening ADN program and just wondered if anybody can tell me about it?

Any information would be great.

Are there any books/specific topics that I should brush up on for the first semester?

Do they require white shoes?

Are the clinicals mostly on Saturdays like I have heard?

Anyone work full time while doing the program?

Thanks for any insight. Ever Hopeful, Relysh

Hello, I have been reading this site for a while and decided to join. I too am applying for the Parttime evening program. I made fairly decent on the Teas (87) and have the 201/202 and 220 classes completed (2 A's and one B) but I don't have all general ed out of way - still need psychology, human growth and developent. I was wondering if anyone knew the chances of getting in for Fall 2011? I had applied 2 years ago to day program and was accepted but couldn't go due to family problems. From what I have been reading about the PTN program it is really hard to get accepted. Can anyone give me any additionl info?

I had 2 A's and a B going into the Evening program, but that was before the TEAS testing. I'd say you have a good chance of getting in!!

Thanks for responding back to me so quickly. I will keep my fingers crossed, I know what to look for in the mail, LOL.

VSBlonde, I have read alot of your posts on here, you are so helpful!

Thanks! I've learned a lot here and I was grateful for everyone that shared info with me ahead of time. It didn't make the wait any easier, but it helped pass the time!

I have a question. I have also applied for the part time evening program. When you pick 1,2 or 3 do they try to put you in regardless if they couldn't get you in your first choice? Do you get to decide whether to be in one of your other choices? or do you just get denied by your first choice?

Thanks

Kim

I applied for both Full time Day & Part Time Evening. I was selected for both and then I had to mail back a letter letting them know which spot I wanted, so they could offer the free spot to the next student on the list.

Did you get into the Daytime or Evening Program??

Congrats on your acceptance. It is overwhelming & you will feel like cattle being herded through gates the first semester, but hang in there.
