Ok here goes my first few weeks of school, We have went over handwashing, IM and SubQ, we are talking about nursing throughout the lifespan, covered health and wellness and vital signs. We have checked off on vitals and handwashing. We went to a local Headstart school for an orientation and our local health dept. We will be teaching our middle schools about not smoking during "red ribbon week". We will be doing clinicals next week at the headstart school and at some point giving flu shots at our local health dept. Needless to say there has been an enormous amount of info and reading to go along with it..first nursing process test is next friday. Wish me luck....have been studying furiously. Take Care All

Hello, I was informed the other day by my nursing instructor that the college has changed from a content-based curriculum to a concept-based curriculum. The first class of the new curriculum started in Jan. 09. I just started this Aug 09. Just finished my first week. They no longer have a Peds clinical rotation or a Psych clinical rotation. My instructor said its been integrated. Well, I am feeling a huge amount of apprehension in regards to this new curriculum because our instructors have not taught it before and I feel like a guinea pig for lack of better words. I am scared. I hope this new curriculum will prepare us enough for the NCLEX. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens with the Jan 09 class. UGH!!!! If anyone is familiar with it please help me settle my nerves....... Take Care D:o

It's funny you mention studying. I just got finished and I have been studying for 6 hours. No kidding either. I just finished my first week in nursing school. I went to our "Jumpstart" info session before school started and I took their advice. I read the chapter through once. I read it again but make an outline based on the key chapter components. I leave space under each components to add notes from when I am in class. I know for me I will always read the chapter before class...always. I made flashcards today. I made them for vital sign ranges from adult to infant and for just about most of the information I read. I hope all of this helps me get a good grade on our first exam in 3 weeks!!!!

Hi, I got my physical @ Employmed. It's right off of Dunn and Clyde Morris. I was told to go there I can't remember the exact price, like a $100 I think. That is what they do all day long, give physicals. I already bought the CPR book. Oh well!. I have a 3.46 Gpa and I got a 78% overall TEA's score but I did good on the math and reading it was the life science stuff I bombed in!! LOL I am so ready to get started!!! Take Care....

I have finished all pre-req's and core classes. I took the TEA's test wasn't to happy with my results but I guess I made the cut. I am pretty sure we will find out about books and uniforms and such at orientation. I have been scouring these boards for a couple of months and I took a recommendation for a must have book for nusring students, RNnotes by Ehren Myers. I bought it yesterday at Books-a-Million. I would already be studying if I had our book list. LOL Do you have your CPR certification yet? I go on July 28th @ 9:00 am. I have my physical done and all that stuff!!!! I am literally sitting and waiting anxiously! Take Care:D

I have a ton of questions. I guess we shall find out the answers to them very soon..!!!!!! What campus did you request? I requested days in Daytona. I have heard that they place you where they want...I really don't care what campus I can't believe this is happening. I know we have a ton of hard work ahead of us but I am so ready to get started.

Thanks...not very familiar with the inner workings of allnurses. All I know is that I am excited!!!!

Hey, I thought we could chat before school starts. Orientation isn't very far away. I am very excited!!!!

Hi Everyone, I'm starting Daytona State's RN Fall 09 program. I am so excited about starting. Can't wait for orientation I have so many questions. Just wanted to chat with some other students starting this Fall in Daytona.

Has anyone got their acceptance letter for Daytona State ADN Aug. 09? I got mine today and wondering if anyone can tell me about orientation or jumpstart. Any info would be appreciated.

Wooooohoooooo!!! Got my letter today.....accepted to Daytona State College's ADN program August 09. No more waiting....ehehheheheGood luck to all you guys waiting.

I say "I!" I applied to Daytona State College for the Fall 09' ADN program. The app deadline was the end of May. They say I should know something in 4 to 6 weeks. I am going crazy. My nerves are shot. I am anxious and I am not sleeping good. My husband is like don't worry....don't worry. If I don't get in this round I have to reapply for the Jan 2010 class. No worries....just anxiety!!!!!!!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for everyone!!!!!!:yldhdbng:

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there! I know its easier said than done. I am awaiting my letter for Aug 09 Rn class. I know if I don't get in I will feel just like you but don't give up yet. I know it may seem right now like all is lost but it's not. Take Care
