hey guys, hope everyone made it through the storm ok, without to much damage or power interupptions... mine went on and off through the 2 days but overall not to bad! anyway I was printing out the syllabus's from blackboard and I was reading the schedule, and I had a question, do we not meet face to face every week? because on the schedule it says f2f like every other class, so i guess we dont have those classes every week! also has everyone been preparing, reading and all that? I just can't get on the ball I guess. I have read the handbook, but thats about it, I have a feeling i'll be playing catchup for the next 16 months!!

bossladdi- I really hope everything works out for you, also what about student loans? it's a low interest, and when you get out of school you will beable to pay them off.... iv have been kinda studying dosage calc, and I have all of my stuff tagged and noted for med term, but I haven't really gotten into studying high gear yet, I was trying to enjoy the last little bit of time with my family before my life is over for 16 months! anyway I really hope everything works out, and just remember you made it this far, so keep pushing.. you can do this rather it be now or later!

wow jlike i am so sorry, were you guys having problems, or is this a total suprise? god that would be hard to deal with, with everything else that you have on your plate! but hey at least these next 16 months will keep you so busy, you'll hardly have time to worry about it. question: has anyone else been able to get the student handbook? I never got an e-mail and I don't see any info in the nursing tutor, or orientation section.

Hey guys, My name is Kalli... I just wanted to introduce myself since everyone else is! I can't believe orientation is in a few days, i'm nervous and excited, and terrified all at once! ya my family is tired of all this nursing stuff to, my husband can't wait for these 16 months to be over lol! I'm looking forward to meeting everybody! I still haven't got my uniforms, I ordered them probally a week and a half ago so i guess mine will take longer... how long did it take you guys to get yours after you ordered? my appt. for worksource is tommorrow, I'm just hoping for some relief! do they give you a book voucher for the exact amount, or is it like a blank amount and then fccj bills worksource? Boy this is going to cost us some bucks!

it's held in the auditorium.. which is right outfront of the c building.. if i'm wrong please anyone feel free to correct me, but i think thats what the packet said.

hey guys, i have my appointment for worksource on monday so i'm crossing my fingers! it would be such a relief to get tuition and book money, i still don't know If i get any pell because the financial aid office has still not verified my file.. their making me angry! and for the orientation dresscode, i heard most people wear jeans and t-shirts because it's like an all day thing, and i also heard we do get our schedules that day, lottery style. i think the black shirts is a good idea.. or just nametags, i'm sure some of us will reconize eachother from myspace! anyway, congrats to all of you who got worksource money... how long did it take you to find out? i'm so nervous i won't beable to come up with a way to pay for all of this!

and one more thing.. i saw a few of you have picked up your skills kit.. what all comes in it?

I don't know how strict they are about the shoes.. i heard absolutely no crocs.. which i was bummed about! we all wear them in the hospitals so i don't understand why we couldn't wear them for clinicals, but whatever! so i got some all white reebok classics.. they have a tiny bit of color on the reebok flag and if that matters then their crazy! i'm so ready for orientation... i just need to know what my scedule is.. does anyone know about how many days a week we'll be in class? and is anybody else still waiting for their file to be verified by financial aid, they told me it would take 10 days and it has taken like 3 weeks now.. and all it says it file not verified.. i called and they said just keep checking! when will it say under our degree audit program that we're admitted into the nursing program? mine still says no.. i guess maybe after orientation? well i hope all of you are enjoying your weekend.. i'm stuck at work all weekend long.. at least i'm already adjusted to these awful 12 hour shifts!

Ok so I just have one small rant.... I got my tetorifice shot done on monday, and today is wed. and it still hurts like crazy! my husband keeps calling me a baby, but it is so sore! Tommorrow will be my last day of running around like a chicken with my head cut off, tommorrow I get my fingerprinting done, and i'm all finished :chuckle Now I just have to make sure My house is organized, and get some time in the sun before my life is over for 16 months lol! So just needed to vent, Oh and I'm down for a study group.. I live off of Merrill.. not to far from southside, or north campus, so we need to be planning this thing! I think these next 16 months will be so much easier with a support group! ok i'm gonna stop griping and get some sleep.. talk to you ladies tommorrow... hey I wonder if any guys will be in our term?

well that is wonderful! my mom can keep my little man on the weekends, and my husband can keep him on mondays but it's just that tues-fri that i'll have to find a sitter, or daycare depending on what my schedule looks like... I work at memorial hospital, and one of our nurses graduated from fccj, and she said during her term they told her they weren't going to offer the night class either, and then the day of orientation, they asked who wanted to be in night's so maybe i'll get lucky, but if not i have to make it work! i actually got accepted last fall, but two days later i found out i was pregnant and declined my seat.. so now that my lil one is 4 ,months I have to go back! i'm so nervous! I read in the packet that you can get your own khakis, i believe it was on the page to do with the polo shirts! boy this is a lot of money to fork out...does anyone know if you can make an appt. at northside med clinic, or is it only walk-in? and if you do walk in about how long is the wait? by the way my Name is Kalli guys, and you can look me up on myspace by [email protected] i'm also on facebook which you can just find my name! well i'm going to catch some z's ladies!

Hey Guys, i'm new to the message boards.. i just now found out about them today while I was at work another nurse told me about them. I also got accepted into the fall term, i'm so upset to hear that they won't have the night session, because I was really hoping to be with my son during the day, and cut out the extra expense of childcare! so is anyone planning to meet up before the orientation? I'm going up to Northside medical clinic tommorrow to get all my stuff done, anyone else? well Congrats to all of you, I know I was so excited when I got my letter! It's going to be really hard from what I'm told, but it will be so worth it in the end. So I'm excited about meeting all of you, I only wish I would of known about this before hand.. It would of made the waiting process a lot easier!
