Hi, Just wanted to add that in addition to the experience level of the teacher, look at the age group and maturity level of the kids. I can say from personal experience of my own kids right now, I saw them come home with more injuries during middle and elementary school then in high school. The kids are more grown up and mature in high school-not all, but most. In middle school they are still young and trying to figure out their bodies. Bodies are changing, girls with their periods and the kids becoming clumsy and lanky as they are growing while still having the mind of a 5th grader or 6th grader. One of my kids in middle school right now has come home with three trips to the nurse already this year. It's her own issues and nothing the teacher is doing-she's tripping over herself on the track and hitting her head, she's felt dizzy from the heat, felt like she couldn't breathe etc. while my highschooler who is extremely active in sports and outside for hours every day has not had one trip to the nurse, but in middle school this same kid collided with another and hit heads and other injuries. My elementary has already been to the nurse as well this year. Kids will also tell the teacher one story, the nurse another and the parents another so that can also be why stories are different. When I go to the elementary and middle schools it is so loud and boisterous, but at the high school it is so calm and quiet. Just wanted to throw another perspective in and it's probably a culmination of all the things mentioned that is making these trips to the nurse frequent.

Told ya, I would be back. Nooooo! I failed you for Med-Surg didn't I ?! smh

Respect everyone's differences. Be kind, understanding and learn everything you can from people.

It changes every year-this year the class was 120 admitted. I know that the last time I heard anything they were up to the 140's in admitting students from people who deferred, declined. The class before was 150 and I know that my friend was in the 170's and she got in. My teacher actually gave us the actual class sizes for these two semesters today so that's how I know for sure. They are always trying to hire teachers so the class may be bigger again next semester. I got in on the first attempt so Don't give up hope and good luck in getting in.

ok cool thanks that answers our question!

thanks ACCNS and lmchapa for the info. i think i might just buy all the books now cuz i don't know when they're using what and if we'll need to reference things at different points in the semester. i wish they told us exactly when they use what books cuz it would save me some money-at least for a little while. :)

I just registered for classes, it's so exciting to finally be a step closer. I also emailed about the flu shots and they said we didn't need it until later in the semester no matter what campus you're registered for. So far I thought that amazon has the best prices on books-the only one I couldn't find was the case studies by Hesi, does anyone have any suggestions on where to get that book cheaper than on campus?

That sounds good, my email is [email protected] if you wanted to email me also. Looking forward to meeting with you! :)

Hey everyone, I got into RR campus and I was wondering if anyone else did and if you wanted to get together for open lab? Congrats to everyone that got in and as for the background checks, I submitted mine on Monday and when I checked on Friday it was done so it just takes a few days.

Hey ed66, Sorry your ethics teacher decided to change things up on you but as for getting a B in the class I do not think it will hurt you. I had a 4.0 up until Pharmacology where I got a B because I had to have surgery and they would not let me make up the test. I missed an A by just a few points but I applied to the nursing program for spring and got in on the first round so I wouldn't be too worried if I were you. You sound like you're doing great! :)

Hey everyone, Congrats on getting in officially and to those that are still waiting good luck with everything. I decided to defer until Fall because it will be easier for me to have my baby in spring and start fresh in fall. Hope you all have lots of fun in the program.

Congrats!

Thanks for the info. I guess I was so excited about the acceptance that I didn't read anything else properly. I hope it's sooner also.

does anyone know how much time passed between getting the acceptance letter and getting the email letting you know which campus you got? The ADN program always keeps the suspense alive, lol.

Congrats to you!
