FSW Fall 2019

Hey guys just letting you all know the school usually gives you a few days to order your books, because they know it can be hectic. It also depends on the professor but you won’t use the book on the first day of orientation. From my understanding the program has a lot of changes including, books, professors, uniform & etc. Hopefully you all wrote your questions & ask them on the first day of orientation. If you have questions about anything other than books (since it was changed) I will try to answer them.

Good luck to you all.

Best place to get uniforms? Pretty please. I am a bit late with orders, so a place that can get these done fast would be great haha... TIA

I live in North Port and got mine at Hamilton’s. I ordered on July 3rd and they’re still not embroidered and ready yet!

Does anyone know if the Docucare and V-Sim comes in either of these packages that we are suppose to get?

Oh, that is not good. I am in big trouble then! Does anyone know what happens if you don't have scrubs ready? lol

Clinical doesn't start until about a month in. I never received official verification on this but if that's the case you should have enough time to get the embroidery done.

Oh, that helps! I am going in today to order them, but this is still cutting it close. Thank you.

We purchase docucare after this semester. I’m pretty sure it’s similar to purchasing the ATI code

Excited to see everyone who was accepted starting nursing school and their career!! Can anyone tell me details about the health and immunization requirements after you’re accepted to the program?

You will first do the background check, fingerprints, and drug test. Then once that's approved you will do all of this checklist.

These are the immunizations

1. Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)

2. Varicella (Chicken Pox)

3. Hepatitis B

4. Hepatitis B 2nd Action

5. Tuberculosis (TB)

6. Tetorifice, Diphtheria & Pertussis (TDaP)

7. CPR Certification (You scan in your BLS card once you complete this)

8. Health Insurance (scan in your health insurance card to show proof of insurance)

9. Influenza

10. Physical Examination (This is just a simple physical exam, the first half is just reiterating the fact that you have the above vaccinations and immunizations.)

below are just documents you sign and upload to your Castlebranch account.

11. Handbook Acknowledgment

12. Confidentiality Statement

13. Code of Conduct

14. Informed Consent

15. Confidentiality Agreement & Media Release

It does seem like a lot of things to do prior to starting school but they're simple to complete.

Hep B 2nd action, is going to the lab to have blood drawn to prove you have actually received this vaccine, or you can simply sign the waiver stating you aren't going to get this.

Thank you for the clarification, I dropped off my ATI code today to the nursing department and I forgot to ask this question.

Does anyone know what shoes to wear for orientation this Friday? It just says khakis and the nursing polo for clothes. Thanks
