Orientation(s)?

I keep seeing people mentioning that they have/had multiple orientation days. Is this normal? I guess I never thought there'd be more that one..

My school only has one, which is mandatory and there are no make up days...as of yet! Oh and did I forget to mention there will be 216 of us at one orientation...should be interesting, but anyways I'm super excited to go :)

my school had a 2 day orientation the week before the start of the first semester of level one, then the first day of the semester (the next week) an orientation to that semester.

each semester had 1 day orientation to the class.

prior to beginning second level, there was 1 day for math validation, then 1 day for orientation to the second level in general. the next week each class had an orientation to that particular class on the first day they met

I only have one orientation but it's 8hrs long. It's Aug 17 we start the week after. It's mandatory and if you don't attend you forfeit your spot in the program and there are only 30 of us. Come to think of it, I should be receiving my pre orientation packet in the mail soon.

according to the nursing students that frequent our facility during their clinical, they have mentioned that they also have a total of 3 orientations, which is pretty much the norm.

I wish we had more than one! It was a ton of information and now that we're closer I have more questions! Guess I'll just bug them via email :)

Wow this is interesting. My ADN program I'm starting in fall has only 1 day orientation on July 16 for only 2 hours from 10am to 12pm.

Ours is August 16th and classes start on the 20th. I am glad I am in summer session or I would be going crazy waiting.

I have no idea how many orientation days the school I applied to has, but I'm *hoping* to find out SOON! I was just curious-- I never thought there'd be more than one but it seems like a good bit of schools do that.

I do know the classes start aug 15th though, and i've seen when the classes would be through their app. So that's neat. At least I know what days etc to expect if I do get in.

Weird question.. But what is everyone wearing to orientation? Casual? Like normal clothes?

Ours was street clothes. Most of us didn't have our uniform yet.

I am wearing our school shirt and jeans. Our dean loves school spirit:) I have ten school shirts..LOL
