Many schools will send you a packet of forms in the mail for you to fill out along with your acceptance letter. Usually there will be an orientation to go over the paper work, assign clinical groups, and other pertinent information.

If the acceptance letter contains good news, the first word is usually "Congratulations!" :D

You just have to wait for the nursing packages to come via mail. This package will have all the information need for you. Just take one day at a time. Majority of the immunization, physicals, and dental exams have to be done by first day of clinicals.

I agree with the first post. I can add about the immunization, physical, and dental exam have to be done prior to the first clinical date. All schools are different. Just wait patiently. If you dont get your letter soon please notify the school.:)

They usually give you a few months to get your paperwork in order because there is SO MUCH to do -- criminal background checks, immunizations records, CPR registration, caregiver background screening, etc.

Specializes in student; help!.

I got a letter and a form to return to indicate that I was still planning to enter the program. We have orientation next month, when I assume we'll learn about vaccs, books, etc. I know we have to bring money for background checks (two states and national), and nursing patches for our scrubs.
