Specializes in MICU.

Well I checked my educational plan and everything is correct. I'm thinking that everyone that got an acceptance letter and their educational plan is right should be accepted again. They did look through our correct information and accepted us, right? Well at least that's my wishful thinking. Still no Facebook page?

I'm sure it will all be fine. It sucks not to have that final, concrete answer, but I'm sure we're all still in! It'll be okay! :hug:

Hey everyone! I hate to sound like a meanie but this is what El Centro/Northlake is all about! They are the most unorganized bunch of people I know of! I am a nursing student at Northlake, I 'think' I had 14 points but I may have had 15 when I applied. Be prepared to deal with these types of fiascos constantly during the program. It is frustrating!!!

A few tips..

I still work 40 hours a week, it is HARD but I have managed. The first 6-8 weeks of school are the worst. You will be learning skills and will have skills lab from 2-4 days a week and the schedule may not be the same times and days each week. Lecture will be one day a week for about 4 hours during the first 8 weeks and then it will be for 1.5 hours after that.

You will start at the hospital in about the 6th week and will still have to go to skills so it will be very busy.

Your best friend will be organization.. the school is very unorganized so you need to be. Be prepared to be flexible because they expect that you are available for seminars etc without much warning. There will be a lot of "you will lose your place in the program if you don't show up for this"..

I know they stress that you should not work during nursing school and if you are working it should be less than 24 hours per week, I think the reason is so that THEY don't have to be organized. If they could get the scheduling and the assignments figured out in a timely manner it would be far less stressful!

Nursing school is hard, fun, exciting, stressful and an emotional rollercoaster but you will make great friends with your fellow students and will be able to laugh with them about all the chaos this program entails!

Good luck!

Hey, friends! I'm trying to make this group, but it looks like I have to have people to add to it before I make it. Would one of y'all friend me so I can get this going? It's Ashley Roberts Davies. I should be the only one. :-)
