The waterbear was very neat. We had the protein guy last so we didnt leave early at all. Overall I think the day was really a waste of time. It was neat and all, but didnt really serve any purpose. I was the fat guy in the blue striped dress shirt.
Orientation tomorrow, I'm getting a little nervous, but I don't know why. I think maybe because reality will be right in front of me. I hope to see everyone there, come flu or shine.....
I cannot believe it's tomorrow!! Time has flown! I hope nobody has the flu, and I especially hope nobody shows-up with the flu because I really don't want it! haha! Can't wait to meet everyone in person! I'm really excited :nuke:
So what did all the Indy people think of orientation? I thought it was all stuff that they could have just included with our acceptance letters. I wonder what the big all-day orientation will be like in January.
As far as summers go, it seems like if you take this summer but not next summer, you would have half a term to finish up in Fall of 2011 and would be finished with classes/clinicals in October 2011. But if you took both summers (2010 and 2011), you'd be done in August 2011.
MistyMiss--we had talked about the CPR at the Y after orientation--I just looked and at the Fishers branch at least, it is AHA approved. So it probably is at other branches as well. It does not say if it includes AED though so I will have to call and ask about that.
i thought that we would get to register for classes today. i think they had us come in today to give us our bills (hahaha). there is so much to do, and purchase before january. i wish i would have known who was who there. maybe at the next meeting, i will yell out some sceen names and see who answers. good luck to all of you taking care of your tasks, i hope it goes smoothly for everyone. i am calling darlene to put my name in for the december 21, date for the cpr class......
I know, I really wanted to wear a nametag with my screen name! haha! I was excited to meet everyone and I successfully met not ONE person! haha! Oh well! Does anyone know the drug screen / background check website by chance? I don't have my packet with me and I'd like to set up my account now so I can run back by the nursing office on my way home. THANKS!
Csab, I agree that today was a little anti-climactic....I really thought we'd have our schedules and get some sort of little "lab kit" or something. It will be really interesting to see what that orientation is like on Jan. 7th. I especially can't wait to see where they put me for clinicals---I specified "North" on my form, but watch me get clinicals in Beech Grove! Lovely!
certifiedbackground.com is the site. You have to call them and get a package code. I just submitted mine and paid my $83. Nice to meet you today csab. I hope I didnt freak you by knowing what car you drove back from Terre Haute, I just remembered your face from the other site. Lot more guys there today than I had anticipated.
I emailed the gal in the nursing office and she sent me the code within about 3 minutes LOL. It's IV66 for anyone who needs it for Indy. I guess the co-chairs didn't realize they had to tell us that.
