Just started DCN any advice?

Published

I just started DCN in may 2005. I wanted to do the on-line program so I could stay at home w/ my son and still work nights. I just feel knd of lost even though I have been attending the Sat. labs for skills validations. If anyone has any advice on how to make this easier please help. I am also struggling w/ my nursing care plans any advice or pointers.

still doing my care plans...they are coming along slowly..we didn't really cover it at all.

who is your teacher? how did you get the dates postponed? how lucky for you!

We didn't really cover it either. Tracy Knoll is my teacher. Who's yours?

Susan Isenberg is my teacher...we didn't get the delay though, which would have been nice since the huge comprehensive test is at the end of the week! Do you know if Tracy plans on covering it or is she just having you get a book and go to websites?

Susan teaches my lab on Sat. and she said she was the one who changed it to July 5th. You might want to check your calendar and see if she changed it. Tracy has not covered it she just told us to get a book, but Susan sent us a e-mail of a sample one and I think that will help me. I think I was over-thinking it too much.

They (NCP's) are really not too bad..it would just be nice if we could cover it a little instead of flying blind...

communication seems a bit sketchy with the school, teachers etc...

I am definitely going to check with susan though and maybe get a reprieve...although I need to practice skills so maybe just get it done and be done with it...

Good I will be there too. It's always nice to see people and the labs have been helpful to me. We have gone over all the skills so the next couple weeks we will just be going over all of them.

I was wondering what you used for your references on transitions? Everybody I talked to is having problems w/ that part. I have all my paper written except for that.

I quoted Merrill Webster's definition of transitions and some advise from a motivational speaker I found on the internet.

Hope this helps...and just keep telling yourself you will make it. The summer is a difficult semester.

Thank you very much that's exactly what I found this morning. Now that the semster is half way over i'm feeling much better. As soon as I pass validations I think I will feel GREAT!! A few in my class have already quit because they didn't like the way the program is being run. I think as long as you do what is required of you it shouldn't matter what you think of the program the majority of what I will learn will be in my clinicals and from what I have heard from others most programs are the same as ours. Are you taking these classes this semster or are you further along? :p :p

I also have Susan Isenberg for a teacher and she did delay the due date of the Nursing Care Plans to July 5.
