  1. From what I remember, it depends on what you buy. They will have a rep from ACE uniform who will give you the opportunity to buy scrubs that will need patches (at least two sets are needed)I think...
  2. Hi to all of you who are applying. Don't give up! I am about to graduate from the SD campus and if I have learned anything throughout this program it is that things are always changing. Do not be...
  3. There are BSN programs out there that will take you if you already have a degree - even if it is not in a nursing field. I am attending University of Oklahoma BSN which requires a previous Bachelors....
  4. About pregnancy - a few have gotten pregnant during the program. It depends on where you are at and how badly you want to finish on time. It really is up to your individual instructors. I have seen...
  5. career advice WOCN or RN to BSN

    I could be wrong about this but I thought that you needed your BSN in order to get the WOCN
  6. Many years ago I had an interview for a job as a park ranger. What to wear? It looked like the best way for me to fit in around the office was to wear dirty paints and workboots! One of the rangers...
  7. Hi, Congrats to those of you in the next cohort! I saw that some people were wondering how much time they are on campus and in clinicals. You will be on campus almost everyday in the first week or so....
  8. You will do this at orientation. Ace uniform will give you the opportunity to get shoes, scrubs, a stethoscope and your community polo shirt. I don't know if they are using the same brand of scrubs...
  9. Hi, I was not an alternate but a good friend of mine was (this was fall start 08). They started the same semester. In our cohort, a few people who got accepted decided not to enter the program after...
  10. Hi, Regarding taking your pre-reqs on line... This is a great way to get them done in the least amount of time with the least amount of work. In some cases it can be an easy A. They are also a...
  11. Yes, Pharm was definitely a "teach yourself" course. I believe that Mata and Farqason were technically our instructors but it was hard to tell. Actually it was better if you didn't know because the...
  12. About 2nd semester...Family focus is nothing like Prof. Nursing! In fact for me it is the class I am doing worst in. The material seems easy enough but the tests come out of left field so you never...
  13. I wanted to address the alternate system. I am finishing up my second semester. I was not an alternate but I recently found out that one of my good friends originally was. This was a surprise to me...
  14. Most of the time you get instant results - just like the quizes. This semester our pharm exams have a few answers that had to be typed out, thus graded by an actual person so we got the results of...
  15. Hi, the background check is for Sharp, not for the school. They want to know this stuff because you will be working with patients, drugs, and have access to private medical records. I'm not 100%...
  16. Hi, About the Health Assessment Workbook - no, it is not in your book package. If you want it you will have to get it on your own. This book has practice exercises for health assessment that you...
  17. You guys have given me a good idea. I'm going to approach this semester (2nd) with the serenity prayer that they say in AA. "Give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to...
  18. Loans, loans, loans! I know it hurts but the only way to do it unless you are independently wealthy is loans. You will be elliible for a few thousand (probably 7) that are subsidized and the rest...
  19. Get the book package if you can afford it. It is worth it because every minute of saved time adds up in this program! Don't forget the first few weeks are the hardest. It does get easier and you...
  20. There are a bunch on the YMCA website. They are a bit cheaper then the ones at the local hospitals and there were lots of options for days and
  21. Yes, you are teaching yourself the material. There is some guidance from the teachers but you need to be self - reliant and disciplined. The program is still very new and sometimes can be...
  22. It's pretty intense. I've been way too busy to check out this site but we actually have a calm couple of days here. I'm only in my first semester so I'm still getting in the groove of things but you...
  23. Don't underestimate the CLEPs. I took three - Am gov't, US history II, and human growth and dev. It is not 50%. It is a score of 50 which they arrive at with some calculations of which I could...
