Now here is something MANY of us can benefit from

Hello All!!

I'm pretty new to this forum and have noticed that not very many people post their first day/wks/mths in NS experiences on here, even though there are alot of people who are days away or days into their programs. Even though I haven't started school yet (aug. 18th/orientation july 21st), from reading most of these threads I KNOW school is extremely demanding and time consuming but please to anyone out their who has an extra moment of time to share, there are ALOT of us on here who would be VEERRYY interested in knowing how your day or week has gone!

Now that the day is getting closer I find myself wondering..." What do they DO in class all day??" and I even wonder about what happens during orientation (I know..No life!)! So PLEASE to ANYONE who has ANYTHING to share even if its just to vent.... I, and countless others, are all ears (well, I guess technically it would be eyes!)! I promise that when I start I will do the same and maybe we might even get our very own sticky!

Thanks to all that reply (if any!) :stdnrsrck:

Well our first day was today, and it was more like an orientation, it lasted about 7 hrs. We went in, signed a LOT of paperwork, received books, about 8 large Books, plus some dictionaries, smaller books and our modules etc., The advisors went over the program with us, and rules. The way that they have the program is very confusing, but it will come in time.We sat in for a mandatory meeting, mostly talking about student conduct, clocking in/out etc. All in all it was a really productive day, I'm glad that I don't have to wait to start! We did not get any "lab supplies" today, for some reason I was hoping to get a stethoscope......LOL so now the work begins.......

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your first day!! Didn't you guys have orientation before school started? Does your tuition include all of that stuff? Lucky you!...I have to buy my own stethoscope, b.p.cuff, and lab stuff! Be sure to tell us how tomorrow goes...I bet thats when the tough stuff really begins!!

Good Luck!
