Hi guys those of you accepted in fall how has the process been with covid I just got accepted and a bunch of us are trying to figure out the schedules the process has been a bit confusing since the school is not sure
Hi ? I'm in the evening class & it's definitely been an adjustment. (Not sure what the day class was doing - I believe they actually had class at the school) We were lucky enough to be able to have lab and clinical days at the school/hospital. Lecture was online through Google Meets from 5:30p - 8:30/9:30 depending on whether or not we had an exam that day. The exam would start at 5:30 and afterwards our lecture would start at 6:30. We had to download an application onto our home computer/ laptop called ExamSoft for taking our exams from home. This allows them to record us during the exam to make sure there's no cheating. Lab & clinical had 2 groups broken down in to 4 each. Weeks that we didn't have clinical (where we would be assigned to a patient to do full body assessments) they'd have us log onto Course point to do a vSim. This is a where we'd work on a video simulated patient. There's a pre-quiz and post-quiz along with 2 documented assignments from that simulation. Then we'd also have to work on providing a nursing diagnosis, 4 interventions with rationales, 1 goal, and 1 outcome for that patients to be emailed to your lab/clinical professor. Right now they've closed off access to the school and library. We were supposed to do our nursing skills validation thus week but we've been asked to video tape them instead and email them to our professors for grading. This is what they did last semester during the quarantine.
Biggest help through this semester was that my class created a Whatsapp group. This way we could all discuss questions and provide insight that someone else may not have had. Great support system that helped a lot of us from feeling so lost. The school is still trying to adjust to the change and the best way to reach any of the professors is through email. Hope this helps.

This is tremendous help thank you so so much! Wow sounds like a lot ?.
but I’m ready! ??
Thank you so much for responding! That’s great that you haven’t had any issues.
Based on ExamSoft’s requirements, the latest MacBook Air’s aren’t compatible and I’m concerned about my computer not working during an exam. So just trying to figure out whether or not to just rely on my iPad for exams. ?
That is so strange that they won’t work, hmm from my experience I wasn’t able to take an exam on my iPad, I tried it for the mock practice ones we did but I was unable to. For me I had to use my MacBook, it was much more comfortable that way also. As long as you have your Mac updated to the iOS system they require it should be okay, and if you still have doubts you can call examplify and also email the school for added assurance. I cannot mention names here but if you go to the website you can find information on who to contact exactly.
The application process wasn’t long. For me it was about 3 weeks and I got my acceptance. It may be different now because a lot of people are applying. You should apply as soon as possible.
