Hi everyone! I'm wondering who's applying for stanislaus nursing program this spring 2015? Also, what is your overall stats? Btw, I am new to this community, so I'm still learning how to use this haha
BertG77 ..... What can you tell us about the Medical Terminology test they're suppose to give us at orientation? Is it graded or is it just to see what we know and don't know. Is it just general terms... Or will some of the crazys be on there? Got nervous and bought the book they recommended even though I already had a book.... Think I may have jumped the gun.

The medical terminology test is the first graded test in fundamentals. Ours was out of 50 points and it was comprised of pretty standard or more well known terms as well as certain abbreviations. We as a class mostly studied from the book but also quizzed the heck out of each other using flash cards from quizlet. There are many cards on quizlet already made from the chapters in the book that the school recommended for test. I can't remember the author but if you type in the author and book title into quizlet you'll find the bank of flash cards that correspond to the book. It's easy to freak out about it but it's not crazy difficult.
Nice. I've been using quizlet already :) I'll just keep at it. Thought it was intense that we were having a graded test during orientation! Guess I should get used to "intense"! Have a great rest of your break!
Thank you, and I will! As far as getting used to"intense" I would suggest that you not freak out of get too worried about that. Once you start you'll be fine. You should enjoy your break, too!

Same here!! I purchased my books today and I cant wait to crack them open. I've been to the science building a few times and all the staff has been beyond amazing. I can't wait to start!! I'm attending the boot camp as well & would love to meet up with you and study. Maybe a few of our classmates will join. I live in Merced so we can meet at school or wherever is most convenient for all of us. We can maybe meet on Monday or Tuesday since Wednesday is the boot camp and Friday the orientation.
