Well....I've had my 3rd week of clinicals. I have learned a lot. The place I went to the 1st week was just gross, but the last couple werem't so bad. I have an A&P final the Monday after Thanksgiving and I am DONE WITH THAT CLASS! The next Semest...

We got the white uniforms. We just got them last Saturday, I go to my 1st clinical on Saturday! I am really excited, although I heard that the particular facility I am going to is not so great. As far as the instructors, I like most of them. A few of...

The classrooms start out full, but we started with around 50 and it's only the 2nd month and a good few have dropped already. The NET isn't really that hard.....good luck to you!

I work full time and attend an evening/weekend program which includes 12 hour Saturdays. I am making an A average. Not easy, but doable. I no longer get to go out or just be lazy after work!

Like the others said, do not over think those. It's so easy to do that, and I know a lot failed our first one too. Now that you know what you did wrong, you should be ok. Do you have a workbook or study guide? Use it and practice those NCLEX style qu...

Those critical thinking questions will get you every time! Just remember, it is what it says, nothing more. DO NOT over think it!

Hey Pomengrante, I go to DNI too, and I work full time. Believe me, it's HARD, but doable. I am on my 2nd month, and have As in A&P and Fundamentals.

Her tests are hard. Just make sure you study and pay attention to her lectures and you will be fine.

ElCentro would be much cheaper, but it's hard to get selected and you have to do pre reqs. Just depends if your willing to wait. DNI has a financial aid department to help you with grants and student loans.

Good luck to you! The orientation is a bit overwhelming, they put a ton of books in front of you and give you a huge reading assignment. I don't think they care about scrubs being printed, but I'm pretty sure they are serious about the no wrap aroun...

The total time with the pretest and NET, I believe I was there a little over 2 hours. They called me within a few days to tell me my score. Yes, in school you always have to wear scrubs. They provide scrubs for clinical but for class you have to get ...

I really didn't need to prepare because at the time I had just finished 2 semesters of community college, which included math and english comp. The NET was pretty easy, the math only had like 2 or 3 algebra questions. The rest is basic math, and you ...

Classes are going great, but there was a fight....yes a fight in the parking lot yesterday! Required 4 police cars and an ambulance. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Last I checked this was supposed to be a college with adults.....g...

I started on 8/17. We have had 3 tests, 2 in fundamentals (I got As) and 1 on anatomy (B). I love it! Yes, that anatomy is a killer, but even though I study every waking hour when I'm not at work or school, I'm having a blast!

I am on my 3rd week, had my 1st anatomy test last night.......wow! It was tough! I like the school alot though, I am learning SOOO much, but I will tell you, it's not easy! The drug test is the swab in the mouth one. I never had one like that before,...

Good luck to you all!

I work full time, and go to the night program. Trust me, it's not easy. My whole life is now work, study, school. That's it, no kidding. I am only on my 2nd week, I am in for a long haul, but I can do it and so can you! Good luck!

I am on my 2nd week. We had a test last night, and I got an A:yeah: I work full time, so my life is now work, study, study, study, school. LOL! It is a lot of material, but I am already finding, that if you listen intently during lecture, ask educat...

Hi there! It's going good so far....I started last Monday, and I already have a Fundamentals test tomorrow night, and a test in A&P on Monday. (That's the one scaring the *&^% out of me) I love it so far, but it's a lot of material in a short...

Yes, Dr. * for A&P, and I love it too! I'm reading chapters, and actually absorbing it....slowly. It will take me some time to figure out how to learn this stuff, but I'm having a great time! I actually thought fundamentals was more fun & int...

The ladies in financial aid are great! You will love them all. Very very helpful.

Hey there! Monday was our first night, and I like the instructor. It was A&P and we went through 4 chapters. She seems to really want us all to succeed, and she gave us a great study guide of notes. Tonight is Fundamentals. Honestly, I haven't se...

Did any of you go to the orientation tonight? I left a little overwhelmed, but I can't wait to get started!

Yeah same here, I was at that shot clinic 3 hours before I was finished. The blood draw is to check if you still are immune from the childhood immunizations like MMR. If that comes back and you are not you have to get those again too. My arm is sore ...

I start on Monday. I am going to the night program, we had shot clinic tonight, which took forever.
