Well, it's never too soon to start thinking about this. Anyone else thinking of applying for Summer 2009?
I have already had my PPD and physical/titers done which was on April 1st. You can not have another PPD done until a month later. I verified that with my doctor.
I wish the nursing office would get all of this info cleared up because it is causing a lot of unneccessary confusion. They should have read over the instructions and listed due dates before sending the papers out...
Also, does anyone know when we will find out what our schedules will be like- is that at orientation?
I'm trying find some really good shoes in town. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good shoe shop that has some of those lovely white leathers we are looking for- and the requirements are that they have to be super comfortable! I went to The Walking Company & DSW in the Town Center- no luck. Anybody been successful at any of the nursing uniform stores in town?
I also got my shoes from Shoe Carnival...solid "BRIGHT" white nikes (walking shoes).
oh and for those of you who dont already have one make sure you have a student id from FCCJ...I verified yesterday when I was at the nursing office that this is required...said that we have to wear it for photo id when doing clinicals.
I got a call from Crystal Porter this afternoon about the physical and ppd. She said that Dr. Henning said that as long as the physical and ppd are dated AFTER THE PACKETS WENT OUT at the end of March, you're good to go. I got mine done on April 2nd and she said that was fine. I guess they're being easy on us since they set the original deadline as April 14th. She also mentioned the deadline to get the physical and ppd in was at orientation. Everything else is due on April 14.
I have a question. Where did you get your picture taken that we have to turn in? I think that's the last thing I need to do. Oh, and the ppd. LOL. I didn't get that done yet.

Wish I had though of that while I was getting my fingerprints done. I don't know what I was thinking, but I selected the downtown UPS store and let me tell you, it was a nightmare trying to find parking. They have three spots in front of the store but if you don't get there right as someone is pulling out, you will circle the block a million times. I ended up parking at a meter and walking over. Then the guy couldn't get the machine to work. It took him 1 1/2 hours to finally get me printed and sent off. I figured I had spent so much time trying to find parking that I may as well wait. LOL. Anyway, it's done.
What kind of progress is everyone else making? :)

Ughh...this sucks. I really don't want to pay for another physical. But if I have to, I have to. Does that include the titers too? I'd really hate to have to do that again. I can't afford to pay for everything again.
