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 confusion the first few classes: Nurse's Packs lost, classroom changes, unapproved physicals and tears. Can't wait!

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!

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 lime green/grey bookbag. =)

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! :-)

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 idea to show love. ♡

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 up flunking out with a 78 (80 required to pass). I barely had dinner on the table, NEVER got enough studying time and felt like I was losing my mind. I have been blessed and lucky enough to be accepted into another RN program. Some things have changed: My daughter will be 2 when I start, we are staying in this apt and I'm not working. But I am desperately in need of advice. How do you get dinner cooked at a decent hour? What do you do with the kids so they feel loved and attended to? When do you fit in time to get laundry done or the floors mopped? Thanks in advance!

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 that I should cover everything else (cooking, cleaning, kids, sitter) since he is the only one who works. Bleh, I just wish my family was more reliable.

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

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 at 7am ( which means I'm parking the car by 6:30) and most daycares here in NY open at that time. Hubby works nights and is dead to the world at that time, my nearby siblings work and leave early. One grandmother has sleep problems and can't watch the kids early while the other is wishy washy at best and not very dependable. Btw, I am the only one with a car. So I was just wondering what kind of arrangement do you have for your kiddos? Any advice? Please let me know!

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 mind posting or PMing the booklist you got? Thanks and good luck this Fall!

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 Inorganic Chem completed, so maybe I will do Chem, Statistics and Pol. Sci. this Fall. How did you do? What's your plan for Fall?

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 my BSN. How bout you?

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.

Thanks!:thankya:
