Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather! Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is breakfast place close to campus? If it hits during rush hour I might head in extra early and grab breakfast, although crazylife, you have a great point on the closure thing. Wouldn't it stink to get all the way there for nothing!
Chris, I share your pain on the kiddo situation. Hoping we don't have to make the call.
There is an Arby's and IHOP across 56th Street from Campus
Yes, I called to get a "just in case" sitter if there is a delay with my kid's school or no school for that matter. It sounds like it's gonna start at rush hour early morning and get worse throughout the day. I'm really praying for the snow not to arrive as heavily as they are predicting. MistyMiss--There is a Panera Bread off 56th St on right side and an IHOP too.
One would hope that they would find a way of letting us know if they cancel. It would just not be right to make 120 people brace the weather tomorrow for nothing. If it were regular school hours, I don't think they would cancel. I am expecting that we will all see each other tomorrow. Oh, remember she said the reason why the orientation was mandatory was because we would be getting a couple hours of clinical time. I even think she said it would be part of our grade....
I don't remember them saying that about clinical hours/grade. I have an old brain though so maybe I just missed it LOL. I do know someone who cannot make it tomorrow (she already had a trip planned and doesn't get back until mid-day tomorrow on a plane) and she said when she told the nursing office, they just said it was okay that she missed but that she might feel more overwhelmed the first week of classes due to missing what all is said at orientation.
What time if your orientation @ Lawrence? is it the all day one? Is it tomorrow? I need to go to up there to get some books and just want a heads up.
I just finished my 1st semester at Lawrence. You can do it. It's scary but take it one day at a time. Take advantage of open labs once clinicals start. Take advantage of your instructors b/c they are very knowledgeable and are willing to help you out. They really want you to succeed so take advantage. Build friendships early b/c everyone feels the anxiety that you do, plus you'll do group projects AND friends & study groups are very helpful.
For Those of you who have orientation tomorrow, be careful out there! I can't believe that classes start Monday!!! I have just a few more things to do and I'm ready to go! I do need to find some nursing shoes still. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm starting to get a little anxious now, I hope thats normal! I am excited and terrified all at the same time. I know this is going to be a tough road these next semesters but I'm ready for the challenge.
For those concerned about receiving notification for Ivy Tech closing, somewhere on Campus Connect there's a way to sign up for text alerts. I don't know if you signed up tonight if you would receive alerts for tomorrow, but it might be worth a try. Also check your school e-mail in the morning before you leave. I'm sure the only way they would cancel orientation is if the school closed for the day. Be careful on your travels tomorrow and good luck. Orientation helped me have a little bit of an idea of what to expect when classes started.
I feel the same way, excited but scared at the same time. I haven't bought shoes yet either but I tried on some Easy Spirit white athletic style shoes today and they were pretty comfy. They didn't have my size at the store I was at, but I think I will try to find some at a different store before next Tuesday! I tried on all the styles of white shoes at Scrubs & Beyond and none of them fit right/felt right.
Gosh I hope they are wrong about the weather and that we don't get as much snow as they think we will during the day while we are at orientation.
Oh, remember she said the reason why the orientation was mandatory was because we would be getting a couple hours of clinical time. I even think she said it would be part of our grade....
