Hi @DaniLynn, How are you? Yes, I will do my best to come back and update on how the first day went. I will ask if the other classmates would like to come share as well. What types of things do you want to know?

I think there's a limited time frame to edit your post (kinda odd ik). Someone might come censor it as some point. Also I hope I didn't come across as like bossy or anything.... I just had that happen to me a few posts ago and wanted to make you aware. Too just incase you came back on and saw your post censored or edited. ? Really looking forward to officially meeting/ seeing you and everyone else on Tuesdayyy!!

@jasonlynn I don't have facebook, but! I am not opposed to making one in order to stay connected with everyone ?. I'm not sure if you saw this, but on Allnurses there is a similar feature where we can make a "club" type thing for our cohort for Spring 2021. Just wanted to put that out there if you guys are interested in that idea?

You're welcome ?. HHA is a really good idea! The flexibility and experience is really nice. I used to do home health, so if you would like any recommendations let me know and I will send you a pm with the names. Are you a CNA currently or looking to get your CNA license after semester 1 of the program? I hope you are able to find the proper fit for you job wise in the next couple of months. Don't forget that SPC also has job opportunities for students as well if that's something you might be interested in doing.

I will be working PRN as a nurse tech at the hospital I currently work for while in the program.

You're welcome! Yeah, I think that's just the standard for the physical exam form. The one attached to your physical exam just submit under the physical exam tab. And then you can submit a standard vaccination and titers form to the MMR, Tdap, TB, etc.... If that makes sense? LOL.

Yes, whatever forms you have from your Dr's, work, or wherever you previously received your shots from will work. It just needs to show proof of the shots and when you received them. Same goes for the titers also. Hope this helps!

I'm glad you're doing well! Sweet! It's such a relieving feeling when you check things off the to-do list. Hahaha yes, I was so stressed about getting everything done because I didn't want to lose my spot. I keep checking to make sure I did everything LOL. I am looking forward to orientation and seeing the schedules.

Oh no! I'm sorry you had that going on. I probably would have been going crazy as well. I'm glad you're back and better LOL. Thankfully you were able to get that taken care of now vs it happening right when we start in January. That's awesome. I love meeting nurses who went to SPC's program. If I think of anything I'll definitely let you know. Smart idea! I was gifted some supplies, but I decided that for everything else, I'll try to restrain myself until orientation. I get a little too excited with school shopping so I'm trying to pace myself haha. Also hoping for some holiday sales?.

We're almost there, girl! Only 3 weeks left Yahoo. I have some stuff already that some friends and family gifted me, but I have my Amazon ready for some more stuff LOL. I'm trying to hold off until after orientation to buy everything else. What shoes are you looking for? I hope you find them ?.

You're welcome. I understand! I did the exact same thing. I wanted to get everything done ASAP and was trying to fly through everything on CB in one sitting LOL. Glad I could be of help. I'm interested to see how things go at orientation, but a tad bit sad it's on zoom.

@Julia Zelaya I would lookup online the AHA (American Heart Association) CPR certification and see what you can find in your area. I don't have much information to offer for that because I am certified through my hospital and they use AHA to certify us. I just know it has to be through AHA. If I remember correctly, on our acceptance letter form where it has names and numbers listed, they added AHA CPR certification info.

Hey, So our CastleBranch assignments aren't due until January 8th, so some of these things we won't be able to complete until January or next month. I don't know if you printed it or not, but on the CastleBranch form (the one attached to our acceptance letters) it tells you how to and when each clinical assignment will be completed. Some of them we have to wait to complete until we are assigned instructors and they give us the forms we need to sign and upload. A couple of the steps we will be able to complete when we buy textbooks and the skills kit. I think the HEC advisor will go over that during orientation though. I recommend revisiting the CastleBranch form to get a little more clarification. ?

How is everyone doing/feeling? Since our acceptance letters went out my focus has totally shifted to Nursing and I'm counting down the days for Fall semester to be over LOL.... Has anyone started supply shopping yet? I'm waiting to buy textbooks and the skills kit until after orientation, but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on those.

That's a great opportunity! I hope it all works out for you. Oh good, I'm glad you got the names. ?
