NCTC ADN Fall 2013

Khor - Check out allheart.com and medicalscrubmall.com. They have cargo pants at reasonable prices. I even saw some on Amazon. I'm a fan of cargo pants myself so I feel your pain!

School website says letters were sent out today. Hoping to get mine tomorrow or the next day since I'm close to campus. Tentative registration starting the 29th. Good luck to everyone! Lots to prepare for...

My letter came in the mail today and I live in Lewisville. If this schedule stays the same, I am in group one and have clinicals on Wednesday.

Letter came for me today as well. I am in Group 3...clinicals are set for Fridays. Looks like I need to go chat with my work to re-arrange my work schedule. So much stuff to do!

I received my letter today also, looks like I'm in group 1 with clinicals on Wed. If anyone lives in the North Fort Worth area and wants to carpool, let me know!

Finally the letters came. Group 1. Clinicals Wednesday!

I got my fingerprints done today and was told it will take about 5 business days to get them back and reported.

Hello everyone!

I'm in the final stages of completing the pre-reqs for the BSN pathway, but I have a few questions on some of the courses. According to the degree audit, we are required to take speech, bcis, as well as a physical education course; but these courses are not listed on the nctc nursing page for the bsn pathway. I was just curious if anyone knew/ or have had to take these courses for the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have taken those classes but not specifically for the bsn pathway. On my Degree plan it says the classes for bsn pathway are : chem, psych, bio, philosophy/literature, creative arts, hist 1 and 2, govt 1 and 2 and a 2 hr minimum elective.

Getting everything done...fingerprints, background checks, immunization records, etc. What I would really like to know is the exact scrub types we will need this year. I've done my reading here, and heard elsewhere over and over that it is Landau in true red for class, and in regards to clinicals, any brand so long as they are all white. Will this hold true for Fall 2013? I'd love to go ahead and get them now, instead of giving myself the short period between orientation and school start. Maybe I'll call up to school tomorrow and find out.

Is there any reason they didn't include this in the acceptance letter info?

I am not sure why they do not include the information. But I do know for a fact that they do not have any plans on changing the required scrubs. True Red by Landau for class days and any brand of whites for clinical - whites cannot have frilly, girly stuff, no empire waists, wrap tops, etc. They must be plain! Hope this helps.

I've been busy getting ready for school as well and my new shoes/scrubs came in today I'm at work, but if you give me a while longer, I can look at my degree audit and see what class they took as a phys Ed course. I know I've met the extra criteria for the BSN, but I cannot remember what class they accepted.

Has any one bought a stethoscope yet? I've been looking at a prestige kit that has the scope and cuff for $35, but I don't want to buy what I don't need.
