Welcome and congratulations!!

Congratulations on getting accepted into the program! I am anxiously awaiting for this long roller-coaster of a journey to begin and am really kind of nervous about it.

I know I think we all are nervous but this program is going to weed out the weak hearted. Nursing is meant to be hard so we will be doing 95% of it on our own. I feel like since I am so hard on myself I won't have much of a life outside of my nursing family because we will become each other's family!!!

I took the CPR class at the collaboration center on Wednesday. The instructor was great, the class was fun. I had four NP4 nurses in the class recertifying with me. They laughed at how excited and energetic I was. They gave me a lot of information, some that made no sense right now. What I took away was that almost all of the classes have nothing to do with your teacher and everything to do with your study habits and what you do outside of class. They all agree if you are an A student you become a B student in nursing, and thing having a B is excellent. They also told me that NP1 and NP4 are the most expensive blocks. Clinicals are all what you make them to be. Dale Mabry has redone a training center, everyone eventually has to go there. They said it is up to date and a better representation for simulation work. They all go to Southshore campus. I'm excited, and nervous now! Oh and try not to waive any immunizations, if you do you may have trouble finding a clinical hospital that will take you.

Thanks for the info I only need one titer the Varicella which I'm doing the titer instead of the actually two does vaccience because of how expensive it is. However I'm starting everything the end of this month after the orientation so I will have it all

knocked out before classes start come January. I know they felt the same way first starting but we too won't be as excited once the hard work actually starts I know from hearing my sister in law and step mom talk about it. On a good note we have orientation in another week next Monday!!!! I will be there early so that I find where we are going to be.

Omg I'm super nervous about financial aid they are telling me I may have to Appel to reinstate my financial aid during my as anyone know about that I will be getting finishing my A.A next month? Help!!

I wish I could help but I really don't know anything about that. I was under the impression that Pell would only pay for one Associates degree but I may be wrong.

Have any of you tried to sign up for our class yet? If so, is it letting you register for it? I tried but it gives me 2 red notices at the top.

One says " Restricted to Dale Mabry-evening cohort Nursing Majors", and the other says "NUR1213c-93848: Failed Section registration restriction rules".

I just want to know if it is only me it's doing that to or is it the system that is still not ready yet?

I

I got the same thing early this morning. I haven't tried again yet.

About the financial aid. You may want to go talk to the financial aid office. Once you have a degree of any kind you could only use it again for a higher degree. You can use loans though.

See I was under the impression that financial aid is per degree because one financial aid person tells me one thing the other one told me another I guess I will wait and see. As for trying to register mine said the same and I actually called Pam out nursing instructor over everything she said wait to try tonight or tomorrow morning S they are getting it together.
