COS spring 2016

Published

Has anyone else applied to COS nursing program for spring 2016? I'm curious how many points other people applied with and if anyone has heard back yet.

so I should focus on the power point and ATI reading rather than the text book? I'm not sure what online quizzes you are referring to? And the slow questions your talking about are the templates right? Im at the hanford clinical and my instructor is Bettany? Not sure if I am spelling her name correctly

I didn't really pay attention to the power points, but that's because they don't work for me I'm more of a reader. So I schemed the text because you'll see that the beginning is background and the end is all the nursing process broken down (no really helpful) and I focused a lot on the ATI. And like I said DEFINITELY look at the objectives and make you study guide based off it. Just try to absorb the information as best you can and you'll be good. They say the questions are NCLEX style but they're just normal test questions so don't let that freak you out. But learn the subject content broadly not detailed because tests aren't on specific details. It's a lot of scenario typeso of questions.

Mrs. Bitney is cool, she's chill and doesn't add a lot of unnecessary work like some instructors. I didn't have her but I heard all good things.

I've been reading the text book :( okay so I will pair up the objectives with ATI's text and shall start making my study guide. Would all the handout that Childer's gave out throughout the semester be helpful?

I've heard shes sweet but very strict on her students. Hopefully she is the way you described her. I am meeting her tomorrow.

Most of the handouts are useless. I wouldn't pay too much attention to them, a few will be helpful for clinicals but not for the tests. I do suggest when you have time, to do as many ATI templates as you can because toward the end of the semester you're going to have so much going on that those will become a pain and likely be the last thing you're thinking about.

I met Mrs. Bitney today and she was very nice and helpful! Tomorrow we have our first skill check so hopefully we shall see how that goes.

I have another friend that recently graduated another program and she told me her biggest regret was not studying nclex study guides from the beginning of the first semester. what would you recommend? She also told me start asking about midterms and final questions.

Do they get their final and midterm questions from previous tests?
