Well, I just finished my last clinical assignment, so I am done with the scrubs! School ends next Wednesday, and I will be done with my books. :) I survived BADNAP!

In the first semester, Tuesday will be lab day I think until clinicals start. Monday will almost always be a study day. There will be random classes on other days of the week usually for three hours. We have classes with the traditional group sometim...

All of my clinicals have been on friday and Saturday's, or Saturday and Sunday, because we go twice a week. Lecture is all day Wednesday. Then there are occasional lab classes on campus, usually Tuesday and Friday the first semester. Then, there are ...

Congrats to everyone who will be starting in June! Time will fly and you will be happy you did it!

No prob. I can check the school bookstore and see what is required for the next program and see if they match. I also have scrubs with patches and two lab coats, all mediums I think if you or anyone else need them.

Congrats guys! I will be graduating in less than two weeks! Time flies when you're in badnap!

I don't think the clinical times vary, only the location, so they can't work with you too much. Classes are 1-2 days per week, but most o the information will be online stuff you have to do at home the rest of the days. Don't expect too much free tim...

I am currently in the program. I bought a set of pharmacology flash cards that had good ratings and they ended up being a huge waste of money. You won't be carrying them around in your pocket the hospital, so don't bother. It would be good to review ...

I just checked...classes are up on angel!!! Here we go...

K Charles, I understand. I don't know which lab objectives go with each day. I emailed the teacher, and she said it would make more sense once classes begin. So, hopefully tomorrow we will have a more organized agenda. And, if you don't read I do...

Does anyone understand why there are ten sets of lab objectives but 6 lab classes?

I was reading through the syllabus and added a few more things to my lab and clinical checklists: Sharpie marker, bandage scissors, black pen, measuring tape (i have seen these used in some of my videos), watch with second hand, and stethescope hold...

I have made a list for what to bring to lab, and clinicals, and this is what I have for lab: Uniform, white shoes and socks, lab coat (in case I get cold), lab kit, pen light, stethescope, clipcoard (in case I need to take notes standing up), name b...

Anyone getting excited yet?

Does anyone else still feel unprepared? We will have so much to do, but we do not have access to anything right now. It would be nice to get started on something besides reading. I don't have any Wilkinson Videos, so I can only see what I am suppo...

I purchased by lab coats from amazon.com. They have collars, and they do not have elastic waist bands. I think they were between $20-$25 each (I bought two). They seem fine. I did not look at many different styles, I admit.

I have more than one calendar. I printed weekly calendars free from this website: http://www.blankcalendar.org/weekly_calendars.htm I went throught the syllabus and stuff, twice, to make sure I had all of the due dates correct.

I feel that I have made huge progress-I am organized! I have a calendar. I have tabs for everything in a binder. I've sewn on patched (which took forever). I did not like how the velcro made the patch stick out so much. If they get ugly, I will r...

Not yet. I am still in "getting organized" mode. Any ideas?

If anyone needs books, there is someone posting the same books on Craigslist for $275. I have mine or I would buy them. That is a good deal, check it out.

BeeDubs, I don't think book requirements changed much. I bought my books in March (which much not have been updated for the new program), and only one book changed editions. I am going to do what r1kk1 recommended and get the publishers' update for...

Knevans2000, You don't have to go to the bookstore to get the list of books. OCCC has a link, you select the class, and it shows required texts. I did it, and compared prices with amazon and other places to find the best deal. I don't know anythi...

r1kk1, Sorry about your finger...I did not know. Will it be healed by the end of June for clinicals? As for the books you have, it sounds like a great way to save some money. You could look at my current editions of books if you'd like. You can...

r1kk1, did your friend graduate from the BADNAP in Jan?

r1kk1, I can't believe you said "binders", as in more than one 5 inch binder. That is crazy! I have a three inch binder of note from my anatomy class and I thought that is a lot of material. Are any of those books usable for the BADNAP classes? I ...
