Congrats to all those that are accepted and will be the class of 2015. I thought it would be nice to have our own thread where we can support each other along our journey. Mine is an ADN program, but I know some will be BSN as well.

With all that aside has anyone had their nursing orientation yet? How was it? What are some of the costs you have to dish out? Did it finally sink in that you will be starting nursing school soon?

Mine isn't until May 29th 9a-3p. I do know that our tops will be white and our bottoms will be green. I also know we are required to have an iPad which is included in our financial aid. I also know I have to pay $66.00 just for the drug test. The program pays for our in state CORI/SORI but I had to pay for my out of state one which was $31.00. I just payed for that today. We will be required to buy the books, stethoscope, name pin, uniforms, warm up jacket, lab coat, and more. So exciting. We will also schedule our classes on orientation day.

Lets get to know each other so we can support each other :)

I have been passing my exams and skills validations! a lil over halfway through the semester. WOW!

Great job! Doesn't it feel great to be on the other side of the hill for the semester? I can't wait to get this first one behind us and move on to level 2! :)

So ready for this semester to be over with! We have a test tomorrow over the Cardiovascular/pulmonary systems (and associated diseases), helping patients cope, and patient education. It's our 4th major test. On Tuesday, we have our 3rd 'Math for Nurses' test. Finishing up our 2nd round of clinicals this week, case study due next week.. it's never ending! But I haven't gone crazy yet, and I can see the light! First semester will soon be history!

Me too! I'm tired. :sleep:

I'm 7 weeks into my first term and just passed my first Care Plan, passed my 3rd exam with an A, and Clinicals in LTC have been an amazing experience. I started out this term so scared I couldn't even eat. Through all the many, MANY tears I've cried in such a short period of time and the massive work load and stress we are under as students, I still wake up everyday feeling so thankful to have this opportunity. That being said, I'm definitely excited for Christmas break! :D

I am still waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed.
