Melissa,

Orientation is Nov 10th or Nov 20???? On my letter it says Nov 20th. I'm worried now!

Hello All,

Congrats! Great to hear from my future fellow classmates. I'm sure you're all getting all your paperwork together as well. I am very excited for orientation!

Vondutchess, i sent you an email, i will be attending the orientation for the accelerated program. Let me know if you received it...:heartbeat:nurse:

Sorry FSUMB.....i meant the20th. Lol! i bet i got you all freaked out! I don't know why i said the 10th. Probably bc my head is all over the place. I am already losing my mind and i havent even started. LOL. I am in the middle of looking at places to move to down in Broward county, so i was probably thinking of something else....sorry!

LOL No problem! I was worried that I took the wrong day off from work!

Good luck on your search.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the responses. Laura I did recieve your email, I'll get back to you and hopefully we can chat a little bit. Melissa, I'd love to hear from you as well, or any other Miami Dade people. PM me for my email. I'd be really happy to network with some people to ease my mind about the program. I'm currently abroad in Australia, so any connections I can make will really help me out! Thanks again and best of luck to everyone who was accepted!

Wow folks...Sorry I have been pretty much absent from the boards for the last few weeks. I just finished Advanced Med/Surg. Failed care plan/critical thinking the first time through. It was the first time I have failed anything in nursing school was quite crushing. In fact the majority of my class failed either one or both of the exams. But, pretty much all of us ended up passing the next week. So, the story has a happy ending. Just remember to the KISS principle when you take those exams. If a horse is kicking you in the face....don't go blaming it on a zebra.

Anyhow, I have one more class between me and a pinning ceremony December 17th. I have that "I can't believe this has an end" sort of feeling.

How is everybody else doing? Everybody surviving? How is everyone doing in fundamentals? Or any other class for that matter. I have between now and Monday to help. After Monday I might disappear again. Disappear into Professional Nursing Leadership.

First pointer...

RELAX!! In a few months...you'll be looking back at those skills tests and laughing. Just remember the five rights. Make sure each one of those is covered....then draw up your medications...check labels the three times.

When I took that skills exam...I remember most people were stressing themselves out to the point where they could not perform. They got that deer in the headlights look...and froze.

Do some practice math questions at home...play with a syringe to practice accurate volume measurement....and go for it.

Akspudus!!!! You failed a test?! What is there left for me? What hope do I have! That sounds horrible. That must of been so difficult. I wish I was finished. I just can not bear the thought of having to repeat any classes at all! Why did you fail? How could that be? It must have been near impossible. Lucky you! All done. It must be so wonderful. Now I am even more nervous. Goodness nursing is hard. I can harly breath. 12 midnight and I am still going work for class. It is never ending and it scares me that you failed that test.

I was in the same boat as you. I had never failed a test before this juncture. Out of 30 students in my program (bridge online) only 3 people passed the Adv Med-Surg CP/CT/ Pharm tests the 1st time. We all passed the second time (today). Most of us failed for miner things that we corrected this time around. I too am looking forward to the pinning ceremony.
