   So, my foundations and health assessment labs were online. I don't know the exact rule, but I would think wearing your scrubs would be the way to go for these labs. Teachers like when you show up looking the part? That said, all lab professors are sl...

   Hi, sorry for the delay. Yes, eligible for the covid vaccine. I am unsure what they'll make you provide as proof as everywhere is a bit different. For me, I brought my school ID and a copy of my unofficial transcript and it was fine.

   The nurse pack bascially is a training kit. It comes with a bp cuff which you'll need for practice at home and it has an injection pad, PPE, sterile gloves, a foley kit, wound dressing stuff etc etc. As for Labs, those only recently became avai...

   They can send you up to 50mi and I’ve heard it happens! They honestly don’t do anything to help students get there who don’t drive but many of us carpool! Especially for those far locations. Clinical groups are about 10 to 12 students each so you’ll ...

   Each site, yes! You have to pass in order to be able to give medications on the floor. For level 1 you’ll learn it in foundations and then in level 2, med surg (adult health) tons of resources online and they’ll recommend a book too, however y...

   Dosage exams are done at the clinical site and they’re not multiple choice- you need 98 to pass or something? clinical locations are set for you. They can send you up to 50miles away... I’ve gotten lucky so far but anything is possible. This is...

    @Lccoric10 You do start clinical rotations right away - I cant speak for Camden but NB and Newark run their programs similarly and the first semester you do 1 clinical for Foundations. Level 2 gets two rotations and level 3 gets three rotations....
