EKU ADN 2013

Talked with some nurse friends last night and decided I'm picking EKU, can't wait to get started.

That's fantastic! I'm so excited to start. Have you seen the clinical schedule yet? It's at adn.eku.edu/sites/adn.eku.edu/files/sectionsfall2013.pdf

I'm trying to get into the Wednesday morning Richmond clinical group to try to only have to drive in from Nicholasville 2x/week. I have all of my vaccination records and everything done, just have to get them to the office! :)

Is Nur 114 the only class you will be taking?

Is Nur 114 the only class you will be taking?

As of right now, yes. I have most of the prereqs done and my advisor told me I could take Micro at any point before 4th semester so I'm trying to hold off with that until next summer. I took a micro class 2 years ago but it doesn't apply because it didn't have a lab. Are you taking any others?

I'm taking Micro during the summer so Nur 114 should be the only class I'm taking in the fall. I've turned in everything in to them except a photo and my CPR cert. Hopefully I will get that down there by friday, so I can go ahead and register for it.

Hi! Congrats on getting in, I am finishing up my first semester in the EKU ADN :) best wishes on it all! May I ask where you live? Do you live very far? Because I live in lexington if you have the availability to drive 3 days a week, I would do a Tuesday clinical instead of a long day, let me tell you clinical days are exhausting and then imagine you must go right after to take notes, answer questions, sometimes work on case studies and of course even exams. However, I understand if its not an option, I just thought I would throw that outbreak :)

Hi! Thank you for the advice! I live in Nicholasville, so it's about a 45 minute drive in to Richmond and I watch my friend's son on Tuesdays while she's at work (he's under 1 y/o and on a great routine that makes it easier to study). I do well with long days so hopefully it'll work out well lol

Any other advice on what I can do to be better prepared? Study tips? :) I'm so excited to get started and I really thank you for the advice and well wishes :)

Make sure you study for the dosage calculations exam that will be given on orientation day ( no calculators) buy the book and just memorize your conversions, follow the rules when it comes to rounding your final answer. Also, buy used books if you can, it will save you tons of money. Also, the exams change throughout the semester ( they get harder) so if you do we'll in your first dont get too comfortable, keep up the studying and learn to do some critical thinking( crucial in nursing school). be careful not to break Hipaa violations, with any clinical patients, even with your own instructors outside of clinical times. Just remember that you worked hard to get here and there is a reason you're in nursing school, so when you feel like you can't just remember that not just anybody gets into the program and that you've worked your butt off trying to get in with those prerequisites. You can do this! Have confidence and show it in exams, check off and of course clinicals, oh always been time and act very professional on clinicals...

Oh the most important one I hoped someone told me before hand. Wear a watch when taking any exam, they don't have any in the class and only give you 10 minute warnings and that's it! This includes the dosage calculation exams, so wear one to orientation! Okay I'm done :)

I will be in the program with you. Super excited!

Has anybody registered yet?

I registered :) I'm in the Wednesday clinical/lab group for Richmond.

Carrie-Can't wait to get started and it's great to "meet" you! :)
