hi and congrats to all of us! i made this thread so we could all exhange info for out ft cohort. that way we won't get mixed up with the other p/timers and ao track! congrats to them too!
for those who are just tuning in:
our orientation is july 18th, the ati assessment is july 19. mark your calendars!
we do need to get titers for 2 tb's, mmr, varicella and hep b is highly suggested! i think hep a too!
the program is 4 semesters. we graduate in december 2012!!!!!!:yeah:
we have to turn in all our paper work for orientation, which includes our drug screen, health record, background check(i think they receive this from the actually company though)
make your ati account!!! atitesting.com
what i have left to do:
get my drug screen and 2nd tb! should go tomorrow.
uhhh all my titers actually
my unform--although i've already gotten my skirt for clinicals (don't wear pants), i don't have the top or lab coat!!!
get my books-- i've gotten supplementals like an nclex book and stuff but not the actual texts.
what i have done to get ready:
i am going on a diet! healthy meals all day! i don't want to gain 10+ lbs--don't like the idea of being an unhealthy nurse lol
going over some, but not all a&p--mostly bones, muscles, heart, endocrine, and stuff like that.
cleaning out my room to make more space.
i got an extra desk--its big and spacious for those late night study sessions. i have another one but its small. mostly for the computer. but it has lots of shelves for my "enjoyment books".
i am cleaning my shelves(i have lots) and organizing the books by subject (anatomy, physio, patho, bio, chemistry, dictionaries, etc) and as time goes by, i'll put the nursing books as follows: (fundamentals, health assessments, pharmacology, patho, medsurge, specialties, references/dictionaries, review books)
i'm cleaning my filing cabinet out but i am making copies of all my important documents, including my health record incase mdc loses it, lol. so i'll have files for my health docs, extra copies of my other valuable docs(house docs, car docs, insurance etc), and drug screen results. i'm also going to keep file of my ap notes. this is all for simplicity!!!
i'm going to buy those under-bed storage bins to store my extras-- extra back packs, extra office supplies, and my sewing supplies(yes i love crafts)
make sure my dental appointments and my dog's shots are up to date!!!
i printed a ton of "grocery list/menu planner" sheets. i am going to put it on a magnetic clipboard and put it on my white board. every week or month i am going to pick out a day just for meal planning and grocery shopping. i am going to work it out so that the first semester i only have to go shopping twice a month. most of my meals, if they turn out alright lol, will be freezer meals.
i think i need to buy a mini freezer lol
i'm going to do all my fun stuff before school starts. i want to go to the zoo and see some museums and other geeky stuff with my mum. might not be able to for a while
what other misc stuff are you doing to organize your life? i *love* organizing :redbeathe any tips would be great!!!!!can't wait :redbeathe:eek::rolleyes::clown:
my last test result came in just a few minutes ago... so i have to wait til monday to see the doctor so he can sign the health form :|
but maybe if i show Ms Oliver that I actually have my results printed out.... maybe she'll let me register anyway
i hope so because right after orientation i have to fly to birdroad and galloway where my pcp is at, and have him fill it out-- and then i would probably have to fly back to medical campus to turn it in that will take atleast 1 hour and half... yuck...
Oh no! Are you ok? Hopefully you're not too sore because you'll be doing lots of compressions on Saturday. The worst part is the beginning because you imagine 6 more hours of practicing but it gets easier as the day goes on.
Yes thanks!:redbeathe I had sore everything all week but today I can honestly say I feel good .

Man..that's no fun! But, from what I read through older threads they let you register as long as you have proof of "getting the ball rolling". Hopefully, they still let you :) it wouldnot be fair that a result holds you back from doing it while we are all there!

I don't think you'll have any trouble registering. But another option is to go to one of those Walgreen's Take Care Clinics. I brought all my paperwork in there and the nurse practitioner just did a cursory exam and signed me off ($35).

Oh man,, that's really tough, but worth it once you get it all straightened out. I agree with everyone else; I think you will be able to register. Maybe you can turn in your paperwork on Tuesday if all you need to do is have him fill out your paper. Hang in there - you made it into nursing school, Monday is coming soon, and you will be able to register! Soon we will be burning that midnight oil again ) lol.........It will all work out!
thanks guys for the encouragement! lol i've been so stressed out trying to get everything done--my pcp went on vacation RIGHT when we got our letters so i couldn't get everything done right away! but you're right, they probably will let me register anyway! phew!
that will take atleast 1 hour and half... yuck...
