Hello Everyone, I am starting a nursing program in January going for my ADN. With the current economy and hearing stories about new grads having a hard time finding jobs after graduation, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I can do whil...

thanks for the great advice everyone

I think I am in the same boat as you. It's so much information and I have no idea how to study and retain all of this information.

:ancong!:

Jan 3 the spring semester starts, i'm not sure if it is too late but you should call the school to find out.

Yea I see your point thanks for the advice. How hard would you say the first semester is? Do you think it would be difficult to balance the first semester load with working a part time job (about 20hrs a week)?

@bluefly do you know if it is possible to take mirco at QCC in the summer and then have the credits transferred in?

I'm not sure, I have an Ipod touch as well but I haven't downloaded any apps yet but I guess we'll find out at orientation.

Yea I had to make an appointment. She was really helpful and was able to answer all of my questions.

@Sissy314 I am also attending the Queens campus/Day and I went to the school yesterday for financial aid and I was able to pick up a tentative schedule. MON= Nur-101 ( 9am-12:30), A&P (1:30-4:30) Tues= Clinical/Skills Lab, Nur-102 (9am-2pm) Wed= ...

I am also attending in the spring semester. I was told that we will recieve our schedules the day of orientation. As for supplies being provided I believe that we would have to purchase our own supplies.

Hey does anyone know what supplies are needed for school (sethescope, penlight, etc) or is a nursing kit provided?

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass the test. If you are applying for Fall 2011 I suggest that you really take your time and study and when you feel that you are completely ready to take it again retake it. Good Luck

Hey Everyone I recent got accepted to an ADN program and I start January 2011 and I am beyond excited. I can wait to begin my new journey. I can't wait til orientation and the first day of class. At my school we have to wear our nursing scrubs to sc...

Yea I have the same concerns. I think it's a great idea to become a CNA. I decided to get my CNA certificate because I wanted to gain patient care experience. I'm from New York so it very competitive especially in this economy so I want to do everyth...

Hey Curiousgirl89, I took the Hesi and I recieved a 87% over all and I recently recieved an acceptance to the school. I would reccomend that you study the review book and focus on the vocabulary,grammar, reading comprehension, and math. Only those se...

Hey, does anyone have any advice on what incoming students can do now to prepare themselves for the upcoming semester? Thanks in advance!

I'm actually in the same position as you and I am very excited and nervous all at the same time. What I have been doing to prepare myself for nursing school is brushing up on my math skills for dosages and calculation. Nothing complex just memorizing...

I'm also starting nursing school January and i'm so excited I cant wait to start. My wishlist consist of..... 1) Littman Sethoscope (my boyfriend is getting it for me :heartbeat) 2) Comfortable shoes 3) Saunder's Comprehensive NCLEX Review Book 4) Wa...
