Kbcc Nursing

[Yomaira218]

Hello everyone this is my first post and I am so nervous. I recently passed my sci 25 class and pretty much pass all pre requisites with a good grade. I also took my TEAS exam and got a proficient score. I also tried contacting the nursing department to see if they can break down what qualifies you to get accepted into nursing clinicals. They said I have to wait three weeks this is torture!!!! Is anyone else going through the same pain and anxiety lol

@tasham328, you don't need any other document when u submit the acceptance letter. I am trying to buy all that I need now that I can still work, don't knw how the semester will be like cos I need to add to more classes to the nur 17&18. And yea its still like dream.

I still didn't get my letter in the mail.. I'm only taking nur 17 & 18( did bio1200 and psy 3200 already) . yea it's a wise idea to get everything now.

You should call them regarding your letter or just go in person tell them that your major changed on cunyfirst but have not recieved your letter. Maybe they can help you. You will also have to sign up for either August 23rd or August 24th I believe that is to set your schedule.

I am also working now however, once I start the program I will have to cut back and I am worried about expenses rent/bills. I'm thinking about taking a loan out but not sure

[sherii2017]

I have just psy 3200 to do and I need a 1 or 2credit class to make 12credits, I took bio12 and 51 already, I am trying not to overload myself. @tasham328 Please go to the college for a copy of the acceptance letter, cos up until now, I still didn't receive a letter yet. I hope the tuition is not much different from what we normally pay if not I am going the loan way as well.

I'm going to go in person next week. do we have to wear white scrubs to orientation? I'm thinking of taking a loan too...I can't believe this is really happening, still haven't sunk in lol

Hi all! sorry on late post.. i was busy with bio 51for the summer so it consumed all of my time. The tuition is the same as it already is for other kbcc classes. I really don't recommend taking other classes along with 17 & 18 because it can be a lot.. you really want all of your focus on fundamentals but there were some students last semester that did so. They managed idk how, props to them! I think i forgot to mention in previous post, for clinical its not mandatory but it will be helpful for you guys to get a nursing diagnosis book, rent it from amazon if you must. Although now they have a nursing central app that you can download while your in school (using kbcc wifi) and be able to use it outside of campus. It includes David Drug Guide, Nursing Diagnosis, David's lab & diagnostics, much other stuff too. But there is also some on amazon that are helpful. It'll help you how to come up with a nursing dx for your patient and that interventions can be done. For everything in nursing remember ADPIE - Assess - Diagnose - Plan - Implement - Evaluate also ABC - Air way, breathing & circulation. That will help you for some questions on the exams as well as clinical. For orientation you do not need to take your white scrubs, only the students that are volunteering will wear white.

@Yomaira218 I know exactly how you feel. When i first started the nursing program I was on my own, living on my own, had my own bills etc... it's difficult. I was able to work full time still with the help of my jobs flexibility but it was not easy at all. I struggled with my grades and it interfered with my studying time a lot. It's doable but difficult. You will be breathing, eating, dreaming, thinking 24/7 nursing. If you have to work full time then I suggest you get yourself a planner to keep organized and also know your priorities--nursing-- Are you doing night clinicals or day clinicals?

[Yomaira218]

thank you for your response!!! I will be taking bio 51 in the winter semester I do not want to take any other class with nur 17/18 and just focus my energy on fundamentals lol. However, I work two days a week right now but I'm hoping to work around my schedule with work study. I haven't had any luck finding a full time job that is willing to be flexible. I will probably take out a student loan even though I do not want to have a huge bill after graduating. You're lucky your job is flexible and I'm so happy for you that you're working through it! All your hard work will pay off. Who did you have for bio 51 and how hard was it?

Hey everyone, hope all is well..Does anyone know how long is the Blackboard orientation this week? I took a pic when i chose my day but now realizing that the starting time was cut out of the pic so i only see the time the orientation ends.

[Yomaira218]

hey i think it's either 20-30 mins long I have to call them and find out because i misplaced my paper with the appointment time. have you done all you requirements?

[tasham328]

Im still waiting on clearance from health services, was told that the nurse is on vacation and the clearance would be done ending of this week. How about you?
