I am so excited about starting the nursing program and thought it would be fun to see who else is excited!! Tell everyone what school you will be attending, what was your GPA, and TEAS score. Fall 2011 RRRRROOOOLLLLLL CCCCAAAALLLL:yeah::yeah: I will ...

Bearcat, they know that the flu shot is not available yet. So they will allow you to get it when it is available. At least they did for our class.

Thats fine, lol... I will leave it for you guys to pass it on. I am in the generic track.

I sent it hope it helps. I could not send the test info for 1930, sorry. @TygasPoohbear, I do not remember anyone coming in late so not sure of the consequences. Maybe you can give your job an advance notice that you may need to leave an hour or two ...

Send me your emaill address. You will have a lecture on dosage calculations, the instructor is wonderful and she will make sure you pass the math test. You will also have access to a website called Software for nurses that will really help with that...

I am not sure of the exact number but it was somewhere between 150-162. After fundamentals I think we had 146 students. I know of three that said it was just to much for them 2 guys and 1 female. I know a couple that were unsuccessful on their third ...

Hi guys, Congrats on being accepted into the program!!! It is an awesome program, and the instructors are wonderful and really want you to succeed. I was officially done with my first year of nursing school last month. I would like to offer you guys ...

Hey, watashi In 1921 there are 4 skills you have to learn (V/S,oral meds, SQmeds, and sterile gloves). You watch a video and then you must practice that skill in the skills lab for at least an hour. Lastly you have to check-off in front of an instruc...

aimhigh11, I'm not sure if you went to the same school as myself but I have to disagree with you. For skills lab we did have to watch a video to learn the skills lab, but next semester the skills lab is suppose to be way different.

They have a pilot program with ipods, so you will be offered one at the beginning of the semester. It was a nice device to have for clinicals, especially the app nursing central.

Thanks, and yes I will be at Clarkston..

That is awesome keepmovinglpn, I can not wait to get there. Yes, checkoffs were horrible.... Good luck with summer, I'm sure you will be fine;)

You do know the virtual me,lol. I am officially done with my first year of nursing school as of today @ 12 PM, YAAAAA!! Ok, back to you, you may ask as many questions as need be because I was just in your place a year ago, and another student helped ...

Hi Lovleeme, Sorry it took so long to respond. Yes I started last fall. It is an awesome program, the first semester was a breeze for me, but this med-surg is kicking my butt. The teachers really want you succeed, there are so many resources at the s...

Oh also there will be a panel of second semester or third semester students that you can ask questions. So have your list of questions ready.

Orientation is just getting you familiar with the program. They tell you what to expect, what you can and cannot do. How the grading system works, go over the hand book. It's sort of like a break down of the syllabus, and handbook. But the bootcamp I...

No test, that's if it was like our orientation.

Cupcake, the information you just shared seems logical. I will definitely print this for my upcoming semester in med-surg!

Congrats!!!

Hi, I am? What's your name?

Hey gang, I myself did not purchase any of the suggested books. Matter of fact the only book I have purchased is a sixth edition Fundamentals book, and have only picked it up maybe three times. Like I stated in an earlier post, you will not be taking...

Hi there I know you must be anxiously waiting. The scissors are not included in the nurses pack. The nurse pack includes all of the things you will need for all of your check-offs like: Sterile gloves, Foley kits, normal saline, syringes, 4x4's, etc....

I know this is old, but it still helps.. Thanks OP.

Bump.

Not sure if the spring is different than the fall, but we started clinicals like a month into the program if you are in group one, HTH!
