Has anyone Interviewed for NSCC ADN program? please share

I'm going to dress casual. I'm not dressing up everyday we have class just to go sit in that room all day on Monday. We have to be there from 8 to 3:30 and I'm going to be comfortable. They are demanding way too much out of us. I will look the way they want me to during skill lab and clinicals

My sudent loans for the fall are now showing on my account. If you are able to get

Your uniforms, I would go ahead and get them. I went to lands today and they only

Had 1 uniform in my size. I had to order the other uniform set and it takes about a week or 2 for it to come in. They don't have a broad selection for our school. And there are 50 of us getting them.

Thanks for the info Harris88. I am going to call them now and see if I can order them online, opposed to having to drive over 3 hours there just to place an order. Do you have any recommendations on shoes or a very cheap but good stethoscope? Have you heard anything about the VA paperwork and what we are to do next ?

jellybean01...are you going to have to drive that far to come to classes?

I haven't heard anything about the paperwork yet. I wish she would get us registered into classes...it is stressing me out!:uhoh3:

jellybean01- you're welcome! I am going to order my stethescope through medisave.net . They have littmans at a reasonable price and free engraving. My best friend order one through them and it only took like 4 days for her to get it in the mail. I wanted to see how my scrub bottoms fit before I got some shoes. I have to get my scrub bottoms hemmed because i'm walking on them even in clogs. I'm either going to order a pair of all white clogs from allheart.com or get a pair of all white nike shox, haven't decided yet. There were 2 pair of pants that we could choose from, but I got the unisex bottoms (which is what the men will get) because the ladies pants were very narrow and straight legged and I hate that look. The people at the store were very nice and helpful. I also haven't heard anything about the paperwork. If I remember correctly, she said that it wasn't due until the first day of class so i'm hoping that we go over the papers during orientation. I don't want to fill it out and make a mistake. I thought about making a copy of the packet and fill one out because I don't want to get to orientation and get scrutinized for not having it filled out.

Kay2010- I know what you mean. I check everyday and it is just nerve wracking. Tammi said during the meeting that we should all be registered in 2 weeks so we will see come next week.

I took my drug test this morning, but i'm not sure if my background check will be complete before the day I have to turn my stuff in. I wish they would have told us during the first meeting that we had to have all of our stuff completed by Aug 3 so I could have started then. They made it seem like we didn't need it until school starts during our first meeting, now I feel rushed.

Kay2010-Lord no lol-I will be moving to Nashville to stay with family while I'm in school. I think I'm going to wait until Monday to get my uniforms. I have to be at the school to hand my paperwork in that day, so it will be easier. I feel rushed too, but we don't have to have everything in. They understand that background checks and drug screens are not in yet. Have any of you ordered insurance yet? Hopefully we will be registered soon!!Thanks for the tip Harris88- I'm going to check medisave.net now:)

Harris88- Great site but still a little to high for me, I know I can't afford a Littman. Do you know of any good quality stethoscopes for around $25? Also,you may want to double check before you buy clogs. My notes, from our very first meeting, state that all tennis shoes are to be completely white with all white stitching and not a hint of color. Then she stated that we were not allowed to wear Crocs or clogs and that our entire foot will need to be covered.

Jellybean01- no i haven't checked into insurance. I have insurance until august 31 but I need to be looking into some. Who do you talk to at Nscc to see about their insurance or is it on the website? I didn't see it.

I have Health insurance through my dad but I need liability. I don't know who we are suppose to talk to about it. The school nursing department webpage states that is $23 a year, so they must know. If they know the cost they must know who is selling it, but they haven't mentioned anything..

nso.com has for student nurses for $35 a year

Has anyone else received an email from Kaplan? Is this what she was talking about in the meeting?

I thought she said no clogs.

Don't they have pants in petite sizes?

I'm 5'2", and don't look forward to hemming two pair of pants?
