  1. We got into the CLC Nursing program...now what

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I typed everything! I am a MUCH faster typist than handwriter. I do know of some people who, due to problems with computers or whatever, had to turn in handwritten stuff. I think that you can do...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Be sure to at least read through the class guides prior to class, and answer those questions that you can. You will probably not be able to get through all the readings - they can be totally...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Sounds like you're all set Lisa! You'll see that some people never bring their textbooks to class, but I always brought at least the P&P book. Also, any time I had lab I brought Elkin along....

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Left chest area is where my original is, and also the same place for the 2nd smock I just bought the other day (since in 3rd semester we have 2 days in a row of clinicals). They are hideous it's true....

    Thanks so much Dawn & Lisa. So you connected the dots that your speaker was me, huh? I actually got the call from Janet the day before at about 6:30 pm, so I'm glad it seemed like I knew what I...

    colleenm replied to LuckyMoFo4784's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm just wrapping up my second semester at CLC. I'll graduate in December of '09. It is my understanding that starting next fall ('09) you must have your CNA before beginning the program. Also,...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I seriously believe I'll end up in OB. I've wanted to do it for a LONG time. I'm trying to keep an open mind though, and explore other areas too. But my heart is always drawn back to OB. Without...

    Oh my gosh Dawn - sounds like you'd fit in just fine with our group! We are all anal planners! I took Micro 2 summers ago with D Horne. She was good, quirky but good. Diedra took it with her this...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes, you will have class (at CLC) on those days that are your clinical days. There's lots to cover - you'll be learning all kinds of cool stuff - so it is good that they keep you in school only for...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Not a dumb question at all - in fact I think I remember asking the same thing! I guess they ask your size so that they can get an idea of how many to tell Tri-County to have on hand of each size. I'm...

  16. We got into the CLC Nursing program...now what

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Nope - has nothing to do with me being "prompt and on top of everything" but more to do with me stalling and farting around because I don't feel like studying for our exam on Friday! Ugh! Wish I...

    colleenm replied to pink32's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey there clcstudent! I've run into several students in the lab who are in 3rd semester. The only thing I keep hearing from them is that the 2nd semester PE is the hardest one! LOL All of them keep...

    Yes Lisa. That's the class. Just make sure that wherever you take the class it is CPR for Healthcare Providers and you're fine. (As opposed to BLS - Basic Life Support) Dawn, I agree with Lisa -...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You will like Janet - she really does care about her students. And my best advice is similar to Diedra's - stay organized, and be prepared for class. You will have class guides in your module...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi Dawn! You'll want to contact the Health Center at CLC and they can let you know what immunizations you need. Most likely they'll take a blood sample and run some titre tests to be sure you have...
