I am also starting in Newport in the fall!!

I asked that question last summer and they are no longer running the SNAP program. It's too bad too, I would have love to have done it.

Hi Frannasmom! I am also starting in January. I got a packet last Satudary, orientation is Monday December 15th! You should give Deborah Watson a call if you haven't gotten anything yet. Hope to see you there!

HI Sunnsand, I just got my packet in the mail and it's saying that orientation is in Lincoln. Did you get anything?? I'm just going to double check on Monday. I was so happy to read that the uniform is green pants!! I always thought we would have to wear white pants . Let me know what you hear, Thanks!

I still have to do that, how long did it take?

Hey Sunnsand, I finally got in touch with Deborah. Orientation is December 15th in Wariwck at 1 pm, I'm sure you heard. I can't believe we're actually starting! I don't know about you but it feels like it was just yesterday I was taking intro to nursing. Well life will be upside down for the next two years but it's worth it! Hope to see you there!

I called her today, left a message but she hasn't called me back . RhodyGirl, are you working as an RN??

It was intense but in a way a little easier, you didn't have a chance to forget anything! I would take all my classes that way if I could. Have you heard anything abouot orientation?

Hi sunsand, I only took anatomy in Newport and that was in the summer of 06 with Dr J, were you in that class??

I haven't received anything yet. I actually called last week because I was supposed to start last year but I was pregnant so they said I could delay until this session. So I called Deborah Watson and she said all was good and I could register! I told her to give me a couple days to think about it though. I guess once you accpet a spot, there is no turning back, so I just want to make sure I can do this! I will need to quit my full time job to go through the program so it's a huge decison! With a house and two kids my husband and I really have to crunch the numbers but I know that in the long run two really crappy years really won't seem too bad. Knowing that I will have job security in this time will be a great relief! I'm looking into taking a CNA class so that I can at least work part time. How much are the books? I hear that the first semester is like 2400 with books and uniforms and everything! Crazy! Definetely will be taking out a loan.

Hello! I have also been accepted for January in Newport days! I'm excited and a little nervous! I can't wait though!!

Stupid question, what can an RN do that an LPN can't????

Just wondering if it's a good idea. I would like to have another baby and didn't want to wait two plus years to finish school. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this or just a general opinion.

Hey I had X too! Were you the one man in the class??

:monkeydance: Is anyone on the waiting list for the Newport Day Program, if so how how long have you been on it?
