Tell me about it! I graduated in May, got my license in July and still haven't found anything. I have been searching in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care organizations all with no luck. Unfortunately, many of the hospitals don't want new grads....

I wish that I had time to get to the lab to practice. my home is my lab..and my family members are my guinea pigs. They are good sports.

Great Job guys! and Good luck mom!!:)

I heard that not too many people passed the med administration practical. How did all of you do? I passed, thank God!!

LOL eeew get the bleach

Like crap...I didn't do as well as I expected I knew the material...as I sit here and stew about it, I know exactly which questions I got wrong...I know the material...I just choked...I never had test axiety in my life before yesterday...now I know ...

I had lecture today (Monday) and it was really good. I felt like I got a lot out of it. For those of you stressing about the quiz, as long as you read the material you will do fine. Nothing crazy. Good luck!

LOL it isn't like the kits are cheap or remotely stylish either... I am not going to buy two so that I have a backup. haha Oh yeah, about the book...that'll be me too so don't feel too bad...you're not alone! lol

I can't figure out how they could possibly run out of either...it isn't like they don't know how many Nursing students they have...It is a selective admissions program....all they have to do is make sure they have 87 lab kits and 87 basins on hand. ...

They are mandatory, although not graded... you are correct though that the only thing that needed to be printed was a grade report showing that they were completed. (they can look it up but they don't want to have to do that. Printing it makes things...

When you finish the post-test the page that comes up which shows what you did correctly and incorrectly is what I printed out. It allows you to see the whole test. I can't see why they would want you to print anything unless they want to go over it b...

No Problem! :)

I think they do and they don't according to my half listening half filling forms comprehension. To my knowledge, it is more a learning tool than anything else but they do look at what you got and if you consistently get really low grades on the post...

Haven't been to one yet but I am excited to get started! We have plenty of work to get done before class though! :)

Thanks RB2000 I think I remember hearing that now. :)

Thanks that's what I figured. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing a folder somehow. I know they didn't tell me who mine is, but I could have sworn that on the first day, they told us we would find out who our contact was...but I could ha...

Hey did you ever find out who your faculty contact was? I didn't and I am not sure if I missed something somewhere...I thought they said we would find out during orientation. Anyway, I was looking at the letter to students and it says to print out al...

Yes that was my interpretation. That is what I completed. :)

I am not 100% on this, but I was under the impression that we were not supposed to go to the practice lab before we had our first lab. Double check that. I remember the research teacher saying something about us learning how in the regular lab and pr...

How is everyone progressing with their organization of the info? I know it took me a little while and I am taking RB2000's advice and getting a big binder dedicated to Nursing complete with tabs to keep all this information accessible. The instructor...

I wonder why it is only 88, I thought they had 100 seats filled and a waiting list...so where is everyone?

Has anyone else taken out student loans for other expenses on here? I get a pell grant that pretty much covered my tuition but I need to take one out to pay for childcare and books etc. If anyone has done this, did they cut you a check right away, or...

Yes, that is what they mean.

Yes it was in the packet with the list of books and uniform information. The next page after that information was a few math problems and instructions on which days we were to report for a mandatory 3 day orientation (aug. 23,24,25) and it had a sepa...

I haven't gotten my scrub top yet...I really hate the ones with the left chest pocket...does anyone know if it matters if we get a white scrub top that has two lower pockets? Maybe someone who's been through the program? How strict are they on the u...
