Had my nursing school orientation yesterday!

Hello everyone!

This is the first topic that I have started but some of you might have read a couple of my comments on other posts. I found out at the end of last month that I got accepted to a BSN program. It was my 2nd time applying and they even denied me again but, due to some candidates getting accepted to and going to other nursing schools, a spot became available. I had my orientation yesterday and I cannot wait to start school in August! Since I work in a hospital, I already have things like my immunizations and CPR, all I need to do is make copies of everything. Another thing that I am excited about is that our clinical uniforms are navy blue, I thought I would have to wear white for the next 3 years but apparently not! I didn't really time to speak to any of my classmates since we took a short break in the middle and then I had to leave immediately afterwards since my graduation for my BA in Spanish was the same day (and at a different university). Since I am done with school until Fall, I plan to work so I can save up money, buy my books for next semester in order to start studying a little bit (plus review Anatomy and Physiology), and most importantly, enjoy myself and perhaps take a trip somewhere since it'll be a 3 year program including summers. Is anyone else starting this summer or fall and have you had your orientations yet?

Bobmo88, what nursing school do you attend?

Wow, I thought our school was so behind!! Our orientation was last week and they are keeping the syllabus and book list as a secret until "sometime" in July. I know that from the previous semester, there is a math review and about 6 chapters to be read in fundamentals but you would THINK that they would give us the information at LEAST in June to give time to do all this reading and studying even before classes start on Aug 28.

I dont like how programs keep everything a big secret for first semester Nursing. I think they do that on purpose. It's just not fair

Get used to it not being fair. .
