I put my proof up but I didn’t get my flu shot until January of this year. And I am thinking they want us to get it September/October 2020 so when I do I will just replace or add a second document to Castlebranch proving that. Maybe you should email (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) to see what you should do. Seems there is a little flexibility with this documentation as long as (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) is kept in the loop and knows what your plan is.

I got it too. I’m assuming it’s a generalized email to say our order is in LOL. I agree that it could have been a little more descriptive but I might call the bookstore next week to make sure.

As of last week I believe, they said no one has been accepted off the alternate list as no one who was accepted has declined their entrance into the program. They said if they can secure more clinical spots, slots may open up but no one at this time has moved up from the alternates.

If you go to the bookstore website and search for NUR 111 class, it shows the SLS/SIM as a separate product from the My Lab and Pearson books. It was $278.50 I believe on the bookstore website. It might be helpful to you to check out the bookstore website to see what the products look like and the applicable ISBN numbers and prices you are dealing with. I will look on Amazon later today to see what I find.

I have not yet but I choked at the price that is listed at the bookstore LOL. Do you think it could be bought elsewhere for cheaper? I know the books and My Lab were cheaper thru other sources than the bookstore.

I was able to register last night. On another note, I just purchased the books/My Lab from the Pearson website and for some reason, there was a $174 discount and free shipping for the books. I don’t know if that is normal or not but it was cheaper than Amazon. I ended up paying $747 for everything after taxes. Just wanted to let you know in case your hunting around for a deal.

I believe we have until the 13th. If I were you, I would email --------------------------- to let her know/ask her to clarify for you. I’m having to get titers (Can’t find my immunization records and there was no Varicella vaccine when I was a child) and have to get the TDAP vaccine. If my varicella titer comes back as negative and I have to get the 2-dose vaccine, she said I would get one dose in August and one in September so I think there is a little flexibility but she needs to know and to be kept in the loop. Hope that helps!

My friend who is starting with us in the program said the school was experiencing errors with the registration process so no one can register right now. I guess they are holding off on sending us our section numbers until the registration issues are worked out but I’m not positive. I haven’t received my section number either. Hope that helps!

I think we are going to do the one week on/2 weeks off schedule for the kids but I won’t know which weeks they will be in school for a while and the school year for them is going to be crazy that I thought it better to just do the afternoon clinicals. You’re a trooper to do the homeschooling. It will be nice tho to know someone in clinicals that will be kind of in the same boat as me LOL.

I did ask to be in the afternoon clinical. I have two children and thought it easier for my whole family if I could make sure they get to school in the morning and then head in to clinicals. Normal class days are fine as they start a little later than 6:45am LOL. And yes, it is by request

We have to BUY a code to see the requirements? I thought ****** said she was going to send out the info for the medical requirements next week. This is so messed up because we would normally have the orientation in May and have until August to get everything done. I wish this information was more forthcoming.

ATI is the company that administers the TEAS test but they also do other preparation materials. I believe we will be using some of their test prep and other modules as we go thru the nursing program. Sounds like we will have access to purchase the modules when we start school. It looks like there is fundamentals of nursing and pharmacology modules that we will most likely use to supplement our learning. Hope that helps!

I believe to stay active, you would need to work 8 paid hours every two years. But I guess you might be able to time it right to certify close to the time of starting the nursing program and you are certified for 2 years off the bat and wouldn’t need to work as a CNA at all. For example, I became a CNA in March 2016 and didn’t work until March of 2018 so I could keep my certification active. I continued to work part time as a CNA and am starting the nursing program this August. But I was still certified with the state from March 2016-March 2018 without ever working as a CNA. You may want to double check with the school and state in case anything has changed but I believe you are certified for 2 years before you have to worry about maintaining or re-certifying your credentials. Hope that helps!

Congratulations to all the alternates getting into the program!! Can’t wait to meet all of you!

I am not sure if the bookstore is open yet but I know their website had grey scrubs and definitely did not have the ones we are required to purchase. I guess we need to call.

I was hoping to get more information at orientation on the uniform as I did some poking around on amazon and there are a few pant styles for Cherokee brand in the Royal Blue and I wanted to make sure I’m buying the right style. I think the scrub tops will have to be ordered thru the bookstore as they have to be the monogrammed ones but I couldn’t find the required scrub top on the Wake Tech bookstore website to try and order it. I didn’t want to bother the staff before orientation but I’m thinking I might have to send an email. If anyone has already emailed them, let me know as I don’t want to annoy the staff LOL.

I would verify it with CareOne because I took their class 3 years ago and not sure how they do things now but they arranged for someone to come in and do all our CPR certifications on a Saturday morning during the month we were taking classes. I currently work as a NA1 so I have to recertify every year and I do that on my own. I would give them a call and see how things are arranged now. If you end up going there, let me know how it goes! I loved the teachers and staff there and I hope it’s still a great experience if you decide to attend there!

When I did it at CareOne, it was a separate training that we attended...had to attend on a Saturday morning to take care of it separately. I’m not sure how the Wake Tech NA1 works.

I did my class in February and the state test was March 17 so I would plan on at least 6-8 weeks prior to July 31st. Although they probably don’t verify your CNA1 status until sometime in August and you could explain your situation. You find out if you pass the state exam the day you take it. There may be a lag time for the results to be sent to DHHS but you’ll know you’ve passed right away. I would speak to an advisor at Wake Tech if you’re concerned about dates. Hope that helps!

I think it said Cherokee blue color but then it saus Royal Blue. Confusing! I did my CNA certification thru CareOne a few years ago. Loved the instructors there but not sure if the ones I had are still there. It was a great class and they arrange all the CPR cents and TB tests there. It was nice that it took one month to do the classes and then you have to wait a couple weeks to do the state test but they take care of everything. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

For me, when I am in BB, it’s a link on the right hand side of the screen. Says Gateway to Success Nursing Curriculum. Hope that helps!

It just stinks because in a normal environment, we would be having our orientation next week and would have a few months to prepare but as it stands now, we’ll have one month to prepare. I wish they would have explained a little more of this so we are not bombarded with information and only one month to prepare but this pandemic has put everything in flux so I’m sure this is disconcerting to the school too.

Yes, a bunch of information is listed under the NUR 111 information. I printed off some of the documents for the math test. There is an overview of the test and a book listed that I am assuming is what we will be tested on. I wanted to email the school and make sure that the info is still applicable (as this was all for Spring 2020 class) before I purchased the book but I’m thinking it will be applicable.

The handbook is posted on Blackboard in the Gateway link. I believe I read that tattoos need to be covered while doing clinicals. I would check out the handbook out on blackboard for all that information. Hope that helps!

Does anyone know if we are supposed to register for NUR111 right now during the Wake Tech Fall registration process? Or wait until the orientation in July? A friend of mine emailed the school and just got a very vague response and we still really don’t know how to proceed. I just thought I’d ask if anyone on here knows either way. Thanks!
