   I believe the reason they have us watch the video on clinicals right away is because if you get a preceptor that is not clinically affiliated, you will need to submit that paperwork as soon as you can. A friend of mine graduated from here and said th...

3. HELP PLEASE! New grad nurse about to quit new Nurse job before orientation is over.

   SunshineBaby replied to NewGradKH's topic in New Nurse

   I agree with what others have said. Every unit has stress. I started in NICU as a new grad. I had a 12 week orientation but it was not nearly enough. My preceptor was great but many days we were so busy, we ended up just splitting the assignment (...

   I also thought it was nuts we needed to submit our parent's taxes. I understand if you're under a certain age but I'm 34. I sent it all in as I support my family of 5. Hope I get a little something!

   I got my schedule via email from Eric but it was just the normal track for PNP. Have you guys looked at the booklist for NUR 607? Am I seeing that correctly in that they have 6 required books? That seems like a lot for one class. Plus, books for Path...

   No, you don't need to mail in the materials you uploaded to certified. Look at the acceptance packet and it will tell you what you need to mail in. There's a few pages that have to be notarized so make sure to check that.

   Thanks RN543! It looks like my main preceptor is already with an affliated hospital. I want to do the 100 hrs in a specialty that my friend told me we're allowed to do and it looks like I'll need to submit the application for that. I'm not necessari...

   Yep, I got all my stuff too. I think I'm going to send them an email asking about getting preceptors approved. I have all mine set up, just need to get them approved which I heard can be a lengthy process. I will let you all know what I hear.

10. Mailed acceptance packet for USA now what!

    SunshineBaby replied to rnmindy's topic in NP Students

    Mindy, I wondered the same thing as I had completed it all and couldn't view my award letter. I contacted the Financial Aid office and they said they can't release the information until the College of Nursing submits the list of accepted students. Ma...

    SunshineBaby replied to Hope85's topic in Online Learning

    I have my JAG number but I can't view my award letter so I emailed financial aid and they said it's because the College of Nursing hasn't submitted the names of accepted students yet. Maybe they wait to see who mails in the completed acceptance packe...

    Hey guys and gals, To the individual asking about the site- I have had trouble with it being down now and then but managed to get everything in. The only hiccup I had was that the number it listed to verify my employment was actually a woman's person...

    My GPA is a 3.5 cum and 3.5 for Nursing but I have 7 years of experience, all in Pediatrics. I think they look at experience as well as GPA. Now to get started gathering up all the necessary items to admit to the school! I'm in Pensacola as well!
