Hi Everyone :)

Just wanted to start a thread for everyone that's applied to the Navarro College ADN-RN program starting Fall 2012.

Figured we needed a place to post, ask each other questions etc. while waiting on our acceptance letters..... I was told they won't be sent out until the end of May. Has anyone else heard otherwise?

mrs. _______ is working with me to set up a date that i can go in (i feel bad for inconveniencing her, but i appreciate that she's doing this). :)

mrskennedy, i have heard that as well. i've also heard that ut tyler is a great school (i want to get my bsn there if not at uta), but also is quite challenging. i don't think anything is "too hard", just have to give your all and look forward to the completion of your goals. it may be challenging, but it is not impossible. :) i like that they make it difficult, because it is the deciding factor for those who are jumping into the career for all the wrong reasons. we all got in, so in a few months we'll be the troopers riding through the storm. failure is not an option for us, and i know that we'll all do our best to become the best nurses we can be.

raeann, on the methodist health system website, they mention a college/nursing student volunteer program...not sure how different it is from the one i'm in. i also don't know if there is a 100hr requirement at all of the methodist locations...that specification from what i can see is only for the dallas location (i'll give you the link).

I heard it was tough, but only bc our instructors care about us wanna see us "make it". I've heard lots of great things about the program. My sister went thru the program 10 years ago and just got her bachelors at UTA. She'll be applying for Nurse Practitioner school soon. That's my goal as well. I'm super stoked. I can't go on the 10th bc we have inventory at work. Wonder if she'll work with me as well. :-) Guess I should start hinting to my husband that I need a stethoscope. ;-)

I completely agree, adb. I would rather the program be in the "harder side" and be able to pass the NCLEX on the first try :) The school wants its students to succeed....

Today was my first day volunteering and WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it.

It is so fulfilling, like in my heart...the feeling I got was just pure happiness. :) If volunteering has this affect, nursing must have an even bigger one (with pay)! I was there for 4 hours today and it didn't seem like that long at all...almost felt like home. :hug:

Btw, there is patient contact; it might not be physically helping them into bed, but you can transport them, listen to their stories, laughing with them. :) I even went into many wards to pick up elderly men and women from their beds, so I got to see what the nurses did (outside the curtains of course) and such. The experience is priceless...and I've only been for one day! Volunteering is so worth it!!!!!!!!!!

I emailed out instructor to see if I could get a time change and she told me that if I could get my last Hep B shot by the 24th, then Id be complete and wouldnt have to go to the file check. She said that she was gna view everyone's file a week before and send out emails to the ones that already had everything done.

I got an email saying that too :) makes sense that if our file is complete that we don't waste our time or theirs :D

Soooooo she's gonna email us sometime next week if we don't need to attend the file check thing? Is paying for the class included in the file check (if so, my file isn't complete)?
