No problem! I am perennially trapped under/next to a toddler so I’m on my phone too much ?

Castlebranch was fine. They get super backlogged right when the semester starts so best to get your stuff in as soon as possible. But if they’re behind it doesn’t impact you (other than the stress) so that’s fine. I had issues with my shot record being delayed and not realizing I needed a chickenpox/varicella titer since I had chickenpox, not the vaccine. So it was super stressful and down to the wire. But if you can jump on it fast then it’s not so bad.

I have an Amazon wishlist with some of the items that worked well if y’all start a FB group.

Hi gailRN2B,

you seem to be answering all the questions! Do you know how many clinical hours you get for the whole nursing program? I can’t really seem find to it anywhere, I was just curious! Also thank you so much for all the information!

Around 600. Each semester has an increasing amount. And we err on the side of more hours, plus we’re known (normally in non-pandemic times) as doing the least amount of simulation hours and most hands on of any of the local programs.

I have heard people with As in Bio and Psy and all 4/4 co-reqs completed did not get in. I would venture to say getting in without any co-reqs done is impossible, especially these times with TEAS being waived.

I had As in Bio and Psy and 3/4 co-reqs completed and live in the preferred county and did not get in.

aw, man, I'm sorry to hear that.

I decided to take 3 core classes this upcoming fall. Are you applying this fall? If you do, best wishes to you, Molly! ? Also, do you recommend any art/human or comm classes?

I took Introduction to Communications and Bio-medical Ethics as my art/human class.
