I went to a few info sessions at UCF before I finally decided to go to DBCC (or DSC as its called now). I too had a lot of credits and felt like I was settling for a 2 year degree instead of getting...
I agree. I think there was quite a bit thrown at us on the original medpass instruction day. It was really hard to take notes while participating in the hands on learning part as well. Consequently,...
I have 2 little ones, work full-time and am in my first semester. I have to admit, I get pretty irritated hearing some of the other students in my class complain about how "there isn't enough time"....
Yes, we did HPS and bedbaths today. The HPS activity was pretty cool. The simulation patient was really neat to work with and I can't wait to work with it more as our skill sets and confidence...
Passed too!!! I definitely thought that was the most difficult skill so far. Did you guys actually use the packets of stuff (peroxide & lube)? Some of the students in my class did and some did...
Excited and nervous. I am worried I am going to totally blank when push comes to shove and look like a complete idiot (in addition to worrying about patient safety). I know our meds are basic for...
I personally enjoy reading notes from prior students... but only students who have had the same instructor. I don't use it as a primary source though... just a supplement to see if maybe they...
I do many of those same things and I've managed all A's so far. A simple review the night before and going to bed early really seems to be improving my scores too. For me, I've found I don't really...
I did better than I had expected to do on test 3. I am pretty nervous about the foleys though.. seemed like EVERY time I tried to practice it in class I was always interrupted by another classmate...
Damp to dry everyone???? I nearly messed this one up. Eeek! Thankfully, before I actually opened my hand up I paused to think. Whew! Passed. Also, whatcha think about this next test. Lots of...
Here's what I am studying. My documentation phrase is at the bottom. I was told not to stress too much about what I say, more about staying sterile. wet 2
I don't consider myself super anything but I do work 32 hrs a week and have a family in addition to the program. My husband often works 7 days a week, and while it is exhausting, we are thankful he...
So far I seem to be doing really well. I managed to pull off A's on both the tests and passed my assessments first try as well. My instructor is very fair and kind- which really helps ease the...
Good luck with your decision!! I wouldn't necessarily rush to quit your job though if your only concern is balancing it and school. Many in my class are working full-time with families and seem to be...
I passed!!!! I was ready to throw-up, and I thought 100% I would fail... but I passed. I would say less than 8 people in my class passed everything today though (and a number have to redo all of...
Yeah, I had myself totally prepared to fail or just barely get the needed 78... so I was so excited to see I had done better than that. I up until the wee hours studying, then back up super early for...
So, the first test is over... how did everyone do? Better than you expected? Worse? I have to admit after preparing myself to basically fail the first test I was quite pleased when I saw that I got...
Yup, add me to the tired group too. After working nights for so long it might take a while to get back in the groove of being functional so early in the morning. Lucky you to get out early. We will...
