@klp2006 how was your orientation..any different from what we read about NH. When do we get schedules?

It was pretty much what we read about NH. They did spend a lot of time on textbooks and the different packages, E-books vs Print. I'm still trying to figure out which way I'll go. If anyone else has thoughts about the textbooks I'd love to hear them.

Montgomery was still finalizing clinical sites so there wasn't a lot of information about schedules. First 3 weeks will be M-F 0800-1700. There are 2 lecture days, one lab day (I would love if they were on a lecture day), and one clinical day a week. There are exams every 2 weeks and on those days we will come in earlier. 0800 vs 1000 (I think).

Uniforms are Navy scrubs, white lab coat, white LEATHER shoes. There was a thing saying no clogs... I need to clarify if that just means closed toe/heel would be okay or if they must have laces. They didn't really get much deeper on uniforms. i.e. watches etc.

There's a dosage calculation exam, pretty quick. It's a must pass exam or you will be dismissed from the program. I'm anxious to get the dosage calculation book to start learning. This will essentially be self taught and tutoring is available if needed.

I had to leave pretty quick as I had a flight to catch. I did also get clarified that if we have questions about planning our academics for BSN programs, we should speak to our nursing department NOT the LSC advising team.

I am a hard copy kind of girl so I will be buying my books vs printing. I like to keep my books as reference tools. We won't have orientation until August at Cy-fair so I guess we just have to wait!! Thanks for the info!!

I just completed my accelerated series on May 14. I went to Express Family Clinic and it was about 25$ a shot. You take your first shot on day 0 and 7 days after that you take your 2nd shot and 2 weeks after your 2nd shot you take a final shot.

I did it through my PCP and it was a $35 co pay on visit one and that was it. I had to pay another co-pay for the lab to be drawn. I have LSC student health insurance.

I'm seen at a military installation and they are pretty strict on the traditional schedule unless a reason such as deployment. My issue is I started the traditional series but it won't be completed until a few days after the deadlines for a different program I am considering and they want it done by application submission. So now I am trying to see if I am able to do an accelerated track to avoid any issues. We'll see how it all plays out I guess!
