Very well said "the sun will continue to rise without incident"! Couldn't agree more ?

I was not happy about it, but I respect that they are trying to avoid another disaster ?. Most employers in my State (NY), will be/ are requiring the vaccine for new hires as well and now that Pfizer is fully approved many more states and companies will follow suit. Leaving my job is not an option for me, I am a nursing student and the bills still have to get paid, plus most nursing programs want vaccines in order to do clinical. I do not think it sounds good explaining to a new employer that I quit my previous job in Healthcare because of vaccine mandates.

You are allowed to order pants, sneakers/shoes, or anything that does not require a logo elsewhere. FYI! I felt the shirts ran a little big.

Thanks for the info. I feel the same way as far as being able to pay my bills. I will be taking Fundamentals and pharmacology/dosage How is the exams do you find they are structured to what you have studied? also did you go to clinical sites if so was it nursing homes or hospitals and did you have a stethoscope? What advice if any would you say is the most important to know or do regarding attending this program? Sorry for the ton of questions, just seem so lost not knowing the structure of this school's program. Thanks again.

There's a few other students on the Monroe college's page on this site. Some are from the Fall 2020 semester and 1 or 2 are from ours. I actually used a passport photo app and submitted my photo to be mailed since I live in Brooklyn. I opted for the Littman III , I wanted the Cardio IV, but my mate didn't like the reviews that stated a lot of people were losing their diaphragms. I also picked up a pen light and scissors. The other stuff was strictly for studying (pens, index cards, paper, etc). Also I found this site that gave me a free book download code for pdf nursing books some are up to date and some are like last year's or older, you might can find something useful. Website: emedbooks.net , I don't know if the code will work, but give it a try FREE100 (I wouldn't trust spending money with them though).

Did you get an ID card from the school?

My BLS is still good until October 2021. I had a physical already with my Physician,but she's booked until February (I had to go to urgent care to have the forms filled). I did everything else on the checklist, besides the drug test (my appt is at 2pm). Yes! I can't wait to sit down and decorate my journal (I love crafts). My mate purchased my stethoscope as a gift, along with other supplies. If I do not use it, at least I'll have it for a just in case moment or when we do start officially working. If you're thinking about getting one get it, you'll need eventually. On another note, I was hoping to hear how the other students from Fall 2020 is surviving their first semester, and to get a few pointers. Once we do our orientation we should see if some of the others want to do a facebook page or another method to keep in contact for support.

I guess it depends on where you live, I know the clinics in Brooklyn wanted the drug testing form e-passport form. My primary was booked until February, besides I just had a physical done a couple of months ago. Since you are finishing up your semester how is it so far? Are you able to work? I am a Patient tech in the hospital and want to keep my job since I don't have financial aid?

Yes, I received it yesterday afternoon (I just have to do the drug screening tomorrow or Saturday). I am excited too ? I am about to make a bullet journal, since I am a newbie I got carried away with the supplies?

I am almost finished as well. I am getting mines done hopefully with lab Corp, if you live near the school you can pay $40 for the drug screening form and have it done at lab Corp. I just have to get the liability insurance and apply to the NSNA. I am at the clinic now getting my physical.

Congratulations on your acceptance. I am also starting the Progressive track on January 8th. I have received my class schedule already, however I have not received the to do list yet. I know we will be having an orientation soon,maybe we'll receive it hopefully by then.

Hi ?, I hope all is going well. I know the end of the semester is slowly approaching, and I was wondering if you guys would be able to post your experience with the program so far. TIA ?

I was told that the LPN program end date is December 2021,before the holidays.
