I actually had a friend send me a picture of what was in the lab kit we purchased, it looks like it may come with a bag. Not sure but from the pic it appears there is one included. I guess these are good questions for the first day! I just was out shopping and wanted to get it while I had cash on hand if I needed one. I think I am going to wait though and see what's in the kit.

Hey! I just wanted to let everyone know if you are planning on using financial aid of any sort for books, be it a scholarship, loan, or grants... The bookstore doesn't have any of the aid informatio n yet. I would call before you waste a trip going up there like I did!

For those that took the pharmacological math , have y'all received the link yet for the homework yet by Ms. Holts?

heatherchristyn · Aug 7, 2017

I have not received anything from Holt OR the email for exam soft as of yet

Hey just to let y'all know if you buy the books from the bookstore there is a big box and small box for the whole program. It cost $1145.83 (including tax)

Both, the smaller box are the fundamentals books. The big box is everything else

I'm in!! I'll be there tomorrow morning, spots opened up for me :) How many days a week is it? And is it at the campus we did orientation? I'm trying to figure out mine and my daughters schedules.

Same campus, so far the calendar from orientation is pretty close to what the days are. Send me your email and I'll send pictures of the revised calender

Hello! I'm gonna apply to the Fall 2018 ADN program at Grayson. Can you give me a little information on the program?

Overall it is a great program. I LOVE all the Nursing 1 instructors...they are incredibly helpful. The first few weeks are overwhelming but it levels out. There are some out of pocket expenses in the first couple weeks that are kind of a burden if you're a full time student (scrubs, stethescope, BP cuff.). Clinicals were a blast! You start them a couple months in..you have to take a little test to show you're ready. It was pretty simple. You also have to take a pharmacologic math test and make at least a 90 on it. It's 10 questions, you have 3 chances to pass it. They do offer an optional class through the center for workplace learning before the semester starts to help you with the math...I took it and DID NOT find it beneficial. I feel like YouTube could have done a better job! You do get 1 hr of lecture on it and that was enough for me. I passed the 1st time. You'll have a theory course, lab course, and several weeks in you'll start clinical. We were in class Wed, thurs, and then your chosen clinical day (mon, tues, or fri)..but during the first 6 weeks-ish you'll have strictly theory and a few labs and be in class 4 days a week I believe. I could go on forever about details...im just trying to recall things I would have wanted to know! If you have any questions feel free to ask!
