Just to clarify, not everyone quit their job in first semester, I know 6 students not including myself that were able to manage work & school. I’m going to 2nd this Spring....Now I’m not saying it was easy, it’s exhausting but it’s doable. I would take every comment on here w/a grain of salt. You guys got in for a reason....remember that when you’re unsure doubting yourself. It’s easy to get in a negative mindset or increase your own anxiety when you’re stressed or overwhelmed w/this program.... but yeah do-able ya’ll. Definitely dropping my work hrs for 2nd tho.

Hey guys! I’m a current 1st semester student. I’m sure you guys went through the interview already. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone. They usually take 50 students per cohort, no alternates, but they do take into consideration any students that are remediating or took a leave for the semester. My advice: save money, be in a good mental state, have a strong support system. (They stress this a lot because it can get intense). Get rid of any bad habits, if you’re a person who’s late to places, work on that. Get your family & significant others on board....there will be days when you won’t see your family/bf’s/gf’s. Keep in mind that the process doesn’t stop just when you get accepted. You’re going to have to put in a lot of work. You will cry, you will lose sleep, lol & it’s ok. Shake it off & get back to it. Eat healthy!!!! Exercise. If you don’t have something you do to de stress, find something. Everyone at school wants you to succeed. The instructors & students on campus are supportive. Everyone is willing to help, just ask for help. Good luck guys!

I had the same issue!! Took me an hour to figure out! Lol just click on the book icon once they’re in your bookshelf it should automatically begin to download. Same applies if you’re trying to download it to your phone.

I think it depends on the clinical site. Mine requires an additional application.

I think it’s all week. We pick between Th/F for the 4hrs training.

Yeah. Sarah sent me an email yesterday. Check ur email?

Yeah does anyone know what it comes with?

Any recommendations? Also any supplies we should stock up on? Sorry for all the questions but I’m trying to get everything I need w/out spending more than I should. Any clinical supplies other than the stethoscope?

So this may be a dumb question, but students take their laptops to class? Any suggestions in regards to school supplies?? Laptop vs tablet?

@CONAH-sn about how much did you spend on books for 1st semester? Also for the “Recommended” books did you purchase any specific drug handbook, lab test& diag. procedures book? Etc. Where did you purchase the books for sem 1? Online?

I think I’m going with the littmann classic 3

They do. At the health clearance I got an additional tb shot & td booster. Just ask the nurse who is doing your clearance.

Lol we all need to chill, school hasn’t even started yet. Idk much, but i suggest we enjoy this time off. Celebrate you got in. Stop worrying guys! We’ll have plenty to worry about once school starts. Lol

Yo give them some time. I haven’t received any formal letter of acceptance in the mail either, just an email stating I was accepted. Before even receiving an email to schedule your live scan you need to fill out the on-line form for county, the school emails you the link after you accepted... once you fill it out & submit successfully you wait until further notice. I believe the county hosp. has to approve first then Erika will email you about scheduling a live scan. It’s a process & takes time. I submitted the online form but now I’m waiting to hear back. Just relax. I doubt they’ll be sending any official formal acceptance letter in the mail.....take the email acceptance for what it is & move from there.
