Future RN student (start Jan 2014) with an important question: Where do your babies go when you're doing your clinicals / shift? I have a toddler who will be 2 by the time I start and I really have no idea where I'm going to put her. Clinicals start ...

Hey KingWCC, I spoke with Mrs. ***** this past Monday and she didn't seem confused about the days at all. I signed up for Friday morning clinicals and I got just that, 7-2. Thursdays are Lecture and Lab, 8-5. But, I'm sure there will be massive confu...

Hello Classmates! I was just looking over the Reading List that we received during Orientation. I only have 1 page which stops at Exam 2, Unit 3. Is everyone's like this or am I missing some pages? Let me know. Thanks!

i got the call yesterday, i have been accepted into the fall evening program at cochran school of nursing! i'm so excited and have so much to prepare for. they said they will be sending out the acceptance letters along with other information that ne...

Yay KingWCC! Def looking forward to seeing you guys in Oct. I know its fierce competition out there but study group, study group, study group. I cannot afford for this opportunity to slip thru my fingers. I will be the OCD chick with the glasses and ...

I got my letter on the 3rd (yay!). When I log into MyWCC, it still says Practical Nursing as my major. Orientation is October 4th...can't wait! :-)

How do you handle it all? I will be the first to admit, I tried to handle it all before and failed. Two years ago I was accepted into Cochran while in my 3rd trimester, moving to a new apartment, working 30 hours a week and an 8 year old son. I ended...

The frozen lasagna with a salad sounds good. So do the frozen meals in ziplocs souund great too. What kind of meals still taste good after being frozen? Its a little hard to get my toddler in bed by 8 tho, but bath, book and bed for them is a great i...

Thanks for the advice. There are a few in home childcare places close to where I live. I've interviewed them all and the one that I absolutely love opens at 7. Plus, we are trying to survive on Hubby's income alone, so money is tight. And he feels t...

Hey Noel, I was wondering... did thwy give you a supply list? Stethoscope? BP Cuff? Anything like that? Thanks.

Wow Noel, kudos to you for getting all those classes done! With kids to boot! I have kiddies too (9 and 19 months), so I know how tough it could be. Pharm and Micro are hard, but not impossible. May I ask what your TEAS and gpa are? Also, would you m...

Orientation? For the RN program? I agree, **** and ***** are the best. Has anybody gotten their letters yet? I'm beginning to think I dreamt the phone call, lol.

I got a 78 on my TEAS with a 3.1 gpa. I actually want to do health/fitness courses. I used to be athletic in high school but fell off. Plus working out would be a good stress reducer, not to mention dropping some necessary lbs! I have Principles of I...

Yes, I took almost everything. I have to take a humanities course and those 2 health/fitness credits. Oh and Dosage Calculations. I haven't completed a college math course either, which it seems like I don't need for ADN, but I know I will need for m...

Me too! Got the call the day before LPN Orientation. Hate that we have to wait til January but so happy that its RN. Can't wait, wish we could get a booklist or something.

Hey Everybody!!! I live in Westchester County, and I am trying to find some good RN programs (just looking for my Associate's for now) in the Bronx. Here, we only have 3 decent schools; Cochran, Hopfer and WCC. :rolleyes:Can anyone recommend any good...

Thanks!:thankya:

Depends. Are you going for Day or Evening classes? They might consider you if you're going for Day. For Evening, you need to have everything before you submit your application. Make sure you also have your high school math and chemistry done too.

I had a 3.50 gpa, so I think that's a B+ overall. I did pretty well on the Entrance Exam too, so that helped. Make sure you get all your pre-reqs done. Good luck!!!

As a perspective student, can any give advice as to which they prefer or which they think is better? Thanks.

Thank you!!! Will keep that in mind.

Picking up my books tonight!!!! Classes start this weekend for me...YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol2: Super excited!!!! (Can't you tell????)

Lucky you! My classes don't start until September 8th! I am worried about my A&P as well. Here is what I am gonna do; take notes based on the lecture, take notes based on the chapter you have read and take notes on the lab (draw some pictures). R...

Hey ColoradoGirl; Not to burst your bubble here, but I am wondering - how are you going to respond to seeing and touching cadavers, human waste, and nasty ailments that patients have? Slicing open pig heart and sheep brain is just the beginning! :chu...

Ya know, that is a good question. (I hope not!) I am pretty sure you have to do Dosage Calculations which involves math. We might have to do some kind of algebraic expressions (x=? situations). But I am sure once you get the formula down it will be l...
