I know it's incredibly early, there's not even a board for Fall 2015 and their applications are due in 2 months, but I can't wait.
Is there anyone else here planning on applying for the Spring 2016 program?
I'm taking Biology 223 and 251 this semester. I'm also taking my TEAS on the 17th so I have time to take it more than once if need be. I figure I'll have 31 or 32 points. Everything except Biology 224 (which I'll be taking during the fall 15 semester) and previous medical experience, since massage therapy doesn't count.
I'm just curious if any of my potential future classmates are here already, reading up on things like I am.
Do we sign up for the toolbox class when spring registration begins or do we wait for all those details at the first orientation?
Toolbox is first come first serve and is not required by the nursing program. If you plan to take it I would recommend signing up for it as soon as spring registration opens.
Congrats everyone. At the orientation, take note on how to get your immunizations. You have a pretty small window (just a few weeks) to get it right.
First semester update:
I just completed both my lab and clinical head to toe assessments. No problems. Passed without any issues. Everyone studies and passes their tests differently. Find 2-3 people you can rely on to study with throughout the semester. I know people in my cohort that can spit out all the information about an upcoming exam you could ever imagine, then fail a test (or two!!!) because of test anxiety. Other than that, just three more clinical sessions left and 5 weeks total. It goes SOOOOOOO FAST!!!! Be on top of everything. If you procrastinate, you will fail (I've seen it already). And studying for these tests is different than studying for A and P. You'll find out in January.
Congrats again!
Does anyone know if there is someone to talk to about excess credits? I'm trying to come up with a way to get out of paying more. lol Is there a way around it once you're in the program?
Just submit the appeal and make sure you submit for graduation if you haven't already done so. If you don't qualify for anything specific then do the general studies degree. Once you do that and show proof of your acceptance to the program then the excess credit fee will fall off. You may need to submit the appeal every semester so just stay on top of it early. It takes like 6 weeks for them to process.

I figured it would be something like that.
