Navarro College Nursing 2013

Published

Is anybody else out there applying to Navarro? The deadline is fast approaching and I'm already a nervious wreck. Last year's students started a thread to support each other during the wait and I have read it so many times. I thought it would be good to start another one for all of us who are already worried sick...hoping and praying that we've done enough to achieve our dream...

Guess there was a clerical error with my email.. Had stroud send it to another. She responded quickly and seems like a really nice lady. I can't wait now... Again but least I know I'm in! The good wait this time.

I still have not received an email asking for a picture. Am I the only one?

i can't wait either...i've already picked out my stethescope, shoes, scrubs... i don't think we have a choice with the scrub top but I found the pants i want! i was told that the instructors make a "cheat sheat" with our pictures until they learn our names. i'm sure she's probably trying to do 10 things at once right now.

I am graduating from the program in a few days, and ill say this:

Be patient. You will get a letter sooner or later, the insturctors are super busy this year (we have a HUGE CLASS)

Also, Ill tell you that this is not going to be like anything you are expecting. This will be the hardest two years of your life.

This isnt going to be like A&P, or Micro, these tests are on a different level. Application of the stuff you learn. Critical thinking. You'll see. I would advise you to buy an NCLEX book and start getting familiar to the types of questions they will be throwing at you. But dont get crazy and start reading ahead.... enjoy the lasy few months while you have them...you'll wish you had....

Also, when they say this will take over your life.... it TRUE! Say goodbye to your family, becuase you will be missing out on all the fun stuff...especially during the first semester (the hardest one)

Im not trying to scare you, Im presenting reality to you. My class and I have fought HARD over the last 2 years, and I know that it takes hard work and a little luck to get through the program...

I believe in you, and for those of you that make it in.... Good luck! stay tuned :)

Feel free to ask questions, Im sure I can clear some things up for you if needed.

Specializes in ER / Critical Care.

WooHoo!! Congrats Josh!!

I don't agree that it's as hard as you're making it out to be though ;) stop scaring them LOL

We just finished our first year and I still had time for family, kid, vacations, etc. while still maintaining good grades. It all depends on your learning style and ability to prioritize and think critically :)

Good Luck to everyone that was accepted!!
