IRSC spring 2014 hopefuls!

Published

Hello all! I just wanted to start a topic for those of us applying to the 2014 ADN program at IRSC. I am so excited to finish my prerequisites and apply! LetsAll compare our application processes and wait to hear back from the program together! My names is Emily and I am taking a&p1 and micro this summer, then taking the NLN in August and submitting my app!

Tell me about yourself !

@ Currya. I just brought my Big BOB book the first couple of times 'cause its new and you feel like you have to have it with you but really in the lecture you are not reviewing the book. The lecture is an overview. I just took notes on the lecture and went back and read what was unclear or what I wanted more clarification on. I would bring the drug book though cause you want to be able to look stuff up when they mention it but you wont need it every time. I would recommend reading ASAP cause it is a lot and it seemed to be the difference between an A and B student. Once you get behind it is really hard to catch up. I would recommend a roll bag if you plan to bring it to class. Also the instructors will usually mention if they want you to bring a specific book. I recommend taking organized notes on everything you cover so at the end you can just review the notes and the power points for the final 'cause it is cumulative and harder than any of the other tests. In the end it is just really what YOU are comfortable with and what YOU need to be successful. I know that is generic but it is the truth! The first half of the semester is the slowest but once you get into clinicals it is a blur.

Does anyone know what comes in the lab kit we have to buy from the bookstore? Do we need to buy the bandage scissors and hemostats seperately? What about a pen light. I have read they are very handy.

Just curious, is anyone else having problems with the professor nightingale videos? I can't seem to get them to open and I've tried downloading both real player and adobe.
