Hello and Congratulations on getting into CNR nursing program. I am a current student in the program and I've completed a semester so far. Which group are you, are you accelerated or generic? If you need any assistance or have any questions, I will definitely try my best to help.

Heyyyy !! I'm not sure yet. I switched from fall to spring and havnt meet with an adviser yet. They have "technical difficulties" that's causing my change in acceptance term not to reflect on my account online yet. I have to call back on Tuesday to get it fixed. I did have a few questions! hows the program so far, where you able to choose you own schedule? Pretty nervous since I need to keep my full time status at wrk í ½í¸ž

The program so far is okay and a bit stressful. I am very aware of CNR and their technical difficulties. It can be stressful when you're trying to get updates from

them. For first semester students, you are given a list of classes that should be taken depending if you're a second degree or transfer. These classes include health assessment,health assessment lab, pharmacology with a lab component known as dosage claculations, foundations aka fundamentals of nursing with includes a clinical and a regular nursing class that can be either Hollistic, or understanding the human experience.

It's normal to be nervous. I was nervous as well because I kept asking myself, how the heck am I going to juggle all these classes. You just have to get organized and read and study often. Do you have any friends that are in nursing school or attend CNR so you can get a head start?

Usually what the next steps are is to wait for an email from them since you're starting in the Spring of 2019. Right now, they are dealing with students who are going in the fall and it's a lot of students. I am entering my second semester and I am not an accelerated student but i take classes with them. When you start, you'll be taking classes such as Health assessment lect/lab pharmacology lec/lab foundations lec/with a clinical component and a nursing elective course like cultural issues in nursing or understanding the human experience or anything else. I did not know anyone else in the program, I j had to join a study group which is HIGHLY recommended especially for classes like health assessment and pharmacology because those classes together are challenging. There are people who can do it by themselves, but it always good to be around people so you can help each other out.

I would say, from time to time call them to know what comes next, if you're getting financial aid, they will say to wait in the mail and your email for the financial aid package to see how much you're getting.

Thank you for the advice! How is the program so far in terms of classes, clinicals, and professors? Are you happy with your decision to attend CNR?

The program so far in terms of classes is good. I took health assessment w lab, pharmacology w lab (which is called dosage calculations) foundations w clinical and an elective called cultural issues in healthcare. The professors for these classes on my end were good and helpful. Pharmacology and health assessment lecture classes especially pharmacology were pretty difficult for me. The professor i had for pharmacology was a good professor it was just me trying to understand the content and being overwhelmed with the amount of information . What he did was read the slides use a few examples but for the exam he would give rationales and the students had to study a pamphlet of rationales because they were going to be on the exam. The textbook wasn't really needed for that class.

Omg.. health assessment was good class. There's only one professor that teaches this class and she's good but her exams....man! LOL You have to study the slides she gives as well as the textbook. She gives okay review papers, like what's going to be on the exam. Foundations to me is an easy class, just read the certain chapters the professors tell you to and you'll be fine. Dosage calculation is the lab component of pharmacology. It's about knowing how to calculate the right dosage of medication to give to patient. This is the class that you MUST pass with a 90. Clinicals was okay for me. Your first clinical will most likely be in a nursing home or rehab facility . I am not a fan of nursing homes because there wasn't too many exciting things to see and learn as someone would learn in a hospital. However, I am grateful and i learned what I was supposed to learn which was the basics..."the foundation". By your second semester, when you take hard core nursing classes in the summer such as med surge and maternity, you'll see and learn much more. I'm satisfied with my decision to attend CNR because I got into a program and financially and in terms of commute, this school was my fit. I transferred from a CUNY so there were things that I had to get used to and inform myself about when it came to finances and getting financial aid. Even though i get financial aid, I still had to take out a loan to cover left over cost of tuition. When I was in CUNY (If you're not familiar with the term it stands for City University of New York. These are schools in the city such as Lehman, Hunter, City College , Hostos and more) my financial aid covered my tuition costs.

This is a long post, I apologize.

All in all, CNR has it's perks. What I don't like is that you have to go back and forth with them for things at times and that's annoying and one has time or that lol. I'm pumped to start the new semester and I hope everything works out for you. What you can do as you prepare for the spring is to watch nursing videos on youtube. I watched registered nurse rn and she HELPED ME especially in health assessment. Watch her videos! When you finally start, just take things, one step at a time.
