GPC Spring 2016 Graduates

Published

Here is a place that we could start discussing the next part of our journey in nursing school.

Has anyone read the book they suggested in our acceptance letters? I bought it off amazon and I am excited to read it!!!

Question for current student: Is GPC a pay as you go school in which you have to pay first and the scholarships and/or loans reimburse you later -or- do they allow for the scholarships and/or loans to come into the school and pay for the tuition?

Has anyone taken there CPR class? Any suggestions on the location? I was thinking about taking Part I online then go to a facility for the skills session. Is anyone else planning to do the same?

I have completed my CPR. I completed the first part online and then I did the 2nd portion in person on computerized manicans. I did it through my job at hospital.

Was going to do it onsite at a place I found thru American heart assoc. I didn't know doing it online was an option.

I am currently doing part 1 online...I'm planning on doing the skills session portion some time in the next couple of weeks, probably either in Atlanta or Duluth. I am also waiting on the results for my titers. Has anyone ordered uniforms yet? Is it just me or does it seem like they run REALLY big?

I'm going to get tithers today. How long does it take for results to come back? Also I was wondering about uniform sizing.

I got mine through Kaiser because thats who my insurance is with...I had blood drawn yesterday morning and have already gotten the results for Hep B and Rubella...waiting on varicella, measles and mumps...I'm not sure what the typical wait time would be elsewhere.

If you look on Meridy's site they will give you a break down of what numerical size coordinates with their sizes...the small pants are equal to a women's 8-10 which seemed really big to me! It just dawned on me though that they are unisex so that is probably why:) I normally wear a large, but I tried on my old roommates pants that are similar and her small fit me perfectly...I am 5'6 and wear a 10 just to give you an idea...hoping to be an 8 by the time school starts though haha:)

Wow that's crazy! I haven't looked at the site bc I was hoping to go into a store in sugarloaf mills mall to try on before I order so I got it right but I guess chances are they wouldn't carry meridys :-/ those sizes are bigger than I imagined. I'm usually a size 6. Hmmmmm doesn't even sound right to purchase an XS....O_o. I'm getting a physical and blood drawn for that on Monday I was going to bring my forms to show and see what's needed. Ive been tested for all these things before and have proof do I have to have it again? Sorry if that's a stupid question lol the only thing I haven't gotten is Hep B I think.

You shouldn't have to have them again as long as the dates are listed on the form the nursing department provided and a physician signs off on it...I knew I had had my immunizations but I had never had the blood work done to show that I was actually immune...I couldn't remember about Hep B so it was a pleasant surprise that I was!

The good thing with the uniforms is Meridy's gives you 1 free exchange where you don't have to pay shipping for the new item, but you still have to pay to ship the old one back...I wish they had actual stores!!!

I went to the Student Health Center today for my physical, PPD test and tithers. The total was $80. They said I should have my results by Monday when I go back to get my PPD results looked at. It seems like these days are moving pretty fast. I've decided to take the first part of CPR online then go to facility for skills session which is only 1 hr. Im looking forward to meeting everyone at the open house. Thanks for all the information!
