I am in group 5! What are the odds? We should meet up during class. What is your first name? My name is Samantha and I am tall and have blonde curly hair.

I agree. I didn't think it was too bad and all the professors seem very dedicated and seem to love nursing, which is great considering it is their JOB! I am glad you had a good day and good luck with the rest of week! BTW, what lab group are you in?

How was your first day of class??

I am in 002 as well but opted not to do the hybrid class this semester just because I figured if I was already going to be driving out to campus for labs and 120, I might as well stay for 121 and 122!! I know (not very well) a couple of people that were in my prereq classes as well. I know how you feel, I am excited and nervous and anxious and happy all at once. I know that once it starts we won't catch our breath until December 11! We've done a lot of work to get to this point and now we can finally enjoy learning about nursing!

Hey! I am going to be in your class on Monday! I am so excited/super nervous! Which section are you? 001 or 002? If you look back a page in the posts in Maryland forum, I asked a bunch of questions regarding AACC's RN program that people in the program or former students answered for me. It might be worth a look. Congratulations getting in and welcome to All Nurses!

Daria, any books that you think I might benefit from this first semester of classes that someone else hasn't already claimed would be great. I don't have any review books as it is, so anything is better than nothing. And congratulations on your passing score and working as an RN since the 21st. That is awesome! Anyway, I'll meet you wherever is easiest for you and I might be able to pick your brain a little bit more when we do meet!

Daria, How did your NCLEX exam go? And thank you again for all the advice. AACC grads/upper classmen have been GREAT! :)

akmegs2, thank you for the message you sent me. For some reason I can't PM so I can't write you back but I just want you to know how awesome I think it is that you were willing to go that out of your way to write me that! Thank you so much! Daria, thank you for all the advice you gave, too! You both are great resources! Do you happen to have any books you want to get off your hands from nursing school?? We had orientation yesterday and now know the books we need to get. Let me know!

akmegs2, ANYTHING you'd like to share with me would be much appreciated! If you don't want to write it all on here you could PM me. I just like to know things beforehand so I feel confident!

akmegs2, thank you for you response! I found out two days ago that I got in! I do have a question: what nursing shoes do you prefer for comfort, support and cleanliness (i.e., antimicrobial so they don't stink!). I have seen everything from all white sneakers to danskos to Crocs. I wouldn't want Crocs with the holes, so what do you recommend? Also, which brand white scrub pants have the most coverage and aren't easily seen through? One last thing, there is a small possibility that I may have to move 1 semester away from graduating. How easy was it for you to transfer from one NS to the next? Thanks ahead of time!

Sienna--Yeah, I am thinking that is what I am going to do because like you said, it is a lot less hassle! Thanks for all your support! :)

My husband and I talked about this because I am really worried about not having the TIME to get in my car and get to the gym because a 30 min exercise at the gym with all the time getting ready/driving is about 1.5 hrs out of my time. Anyway, our solution was to get an elliptical machine and put it right in our living room so that it is out in the open (and not hide downstairs in some basement) and it is hard to AVOID it! If you look on Ebay and Craigslist there are so good deals on used workout equipment. This way, a 30 min exercise session really only takes 30 min of your time and then you can get right back to studying! Good luck and I agree with you, snack and eat healthy and that should help you, too!

Congratulations! I just got my accpetance letter for AACC! Good luck with school and YIPPEE!

Congratulations!! You're one step closer to your dream!
