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

You will take 102 in the Spring and you will reuse the Fundamentals of Nursing book & add in Linton's Med-Surg book. Both books are in the bundle. If you have the list of text books, you can go ahead & price them out on your own. Chegg.com is a good place to rent from. I think if you check your Space Email, there are a few people in there selling their books for Nursing, ones that didn't pass.

Has anyone looked at the uniforms? Why do they make us wear those pants??? lol I prefer my scrub pants to have a little wider open around my ankles...oh well

VSBlonde, thanks for the reply. I may try to price the books and see how much difference there is between school and other.

Terri8, I agree, those pants are atrocious!

Better learn to love those pants!

@relysh82: You will need the nurse pack, and it doesn't matter about the stethoscope!

I received an acceptance letter via email for January 2018, somehow it was in my Spam. I had to reply Friday by 4:00 pm. I replied two days later after finding the email. Will this cause me to forfeit my spot in the program. I have not missed the actually Nursing program mandatory orientation.
