@Melk62: Congratulations! I definitely know that feeling. I was actually on the alternate list a couple of years ago and got the call saying "would you like to join the spring 2010 cohort?" the day...
900 dollars is ridiculous. I regret even paying the 400-500 dollars I spent when I started the program. The only benefit to getting the package (which didn't always have all of the books we needed) is...
PC and I hit on this question earlier in the topic. for convenience: so, in short: technically no hospital until junior 2, clinicals in junior 1 are pretty basic, and plan for tuesdays to be a...
Hey SEA3347: don't lose hope! I was an alternate (5.682, cutoff 5.689) along with at least 4 of my other classmates. I got a phone call a few weeks after in the early morning and nearly had some sort...
my advice? enjoy yourself. don't stress about what you will get in the program. you will be taught what you need to know. if i had to say something, though, it would be to take your pathophysiology...
sorry for the dismal portrayal sometimes it really is kind of a slap--or many slaps--in the face. don't get me wrong, incoming folks: i've had a blast so far and i've learned a lot more than i could...
For me, clinical started on week 2, with an intro and orientation to our "Well Elder" rotation. I started going there for actual clinical by week 3. Preschool started about week four, and the two ran...
this is a fantastic point that you should take away from the many good things pineapplecrush has to say: if you don't get in that first time, don't give up; feel free to despair for a little bit. i...
hey everyone! i'm a senior at the downtown phoenix campus and i wanted to wish you luck with your acceptances into the program. it's a terrible wait they make you guys go through, for
When i was in junior 1 my schedule was much like this: Monday: fundamentals theory lecture 07:30-09:30, skills lecture 09:30-11:30 Tuesday: usually lab from 08:00-15:00; near the end you'll have...
The students who got in are expected to reply about if they choose to attend or not by a certain date. I forget how long it is between when you get the letter and the deadline but you'll start hearing...
Congratulations to those of you who got in! For those of you on the alternate list, don't lose hope. I was an alternate, along with many of my classmates, when I applied and quite a few of us got...
don't you love it? it was my favorite and most hated part at the same time. sometimes i'd get lost in finding sources and end up reading journal articles for way too long google scholar is
haha i'm glad i could help. cookies aren't necessary (but if you can't be stopped, peanut butter are the best ) As tarabara said you can use a notecard. you'll probably find yourself not having to use...
Our schedules are the same. The health assessment competency you have the same week as injections is HEENT, skin, hair, nails, and neuro. Vitals is done with. The next HA competency after that is...
ah. forgot to mention that! make sure you know all of the pre and post exam behaviors (and that you do them/verbalize them) for every competency. i guess you know that already, haha. their rationale...
330 is there just to give you a headache. or time to work on your case studies. or something like that. the first and second pharm tests are pretty different if you didn't cover any actual drugs on...
the ltc project for clinicals is on the patient you are specifically assigned to in LTC. it covers stuff like patient history, medical diagnoses, etiologies of diseases, medications, evaluation of...
excuse me. i was NOT a mess that day. i may have not attended class and completed the project a couple hours after she first said it was due but it was done and it was awesome. and i looked great....
Honestly, it's a matter of how comfortable with how much you glean from lecture and your own notes. For pharm, I barely read at all. For 310, I read most of the psychosocial/developmental/health...
