Hello, I just applied!

Hi, I received my exam results last Friday and was placed in Band 1. What do you recommend I do? Should I reach out or wait for a call? Thank you

Hello, My name is David and I will be entering my second semester in the fall. Just wanted to reach out to the incoming class and provide my experiences so far, in order to help you decide if GWC is the right school for you and also to subside any anxieties you may have about starting a new career. Basically just doing this because when I was entering my first semester, I wished the class ahead of me provided me with their experiences to kind of prepare me for what to expect. Hopefully if this post was any use, you can also pass down your experiences to the next incoming class after you! First of all, my first semester at GWC was great. Your first semester lecturer is the perfect instructor, who also happens to be the director of the program. She is very knowledgeable, understanding, and most importantly patient. Initially, I was a bit uncertain about her because she is very hard to read, but you will see that as the program progresses, she remains consistent with her original intention, which was to help first year students succeed the program. At first, the schedule will be a bit demanding because there are lecture, lab and clinical days, which based on the school's random generator, you can either have both lecture and lab on the same day or have lecture and lab on separate days. So, potentially, you will be on campus 1 day of the week or 2 days. I had the former, which was both lecture and lab on the same day. My Monday's as a result were very long, but you will see that the time will go by fast, especially during lab because there was just so much new content to practice. Overall, you will need to be present either 2-3 days of the week on campus depending on your schedule. In terms of exams, you will hear that you do not need to read the massive textbook and can pass by only studying the power point slides, but I would err on the side of precaution and still read the text. After all, you are in nursing school to pass the NCLEX and not the immediate exam itself. I made it a habit of reading the text twice and even then I wished I could have done better on the exams, but I was never the best student in the past, so take this recommendation with a grain of salt. Finally, get to know your classmates because they will be there for you. Everybody in your cohort is experiencing nursing school for the first time, so naturally you will bond and help each other. I was lucky because in my cohort, everybody was nice and friendly and generally wanted to help each other out. Starting a Discord is a great start. Any way, these were just some of the advice I wish somebody told me before entering nursing school, but regardless or not this advice is useful, I'm sure you will all navigate your way through school and all do well. After all, we all put in the time and effort to get to this point, so keep that mind and congrats to you all!

Has anybody received any updates from the school? The pre-requisite requirements 1-3 were due on August 14th.

Hey everyone, I was attending Rio Hondo College this most recent Summer, and had to withdraw for various reasons, but I was fortunate enough to get news that I was accepted into GWC this Spring of 2024. First day is still several months away. What are you doing in the mean time? A counselor advised that I should take Pharmacology at GWC this fall. Anybody taking this course?
