I think the best advice is don't get discouraged when you start and you aren't getting A's on tests like you used to. Some people still get the A's but a lot don't. Be happy with passing, the teachers will tell you that and it's true. Even if you get to the final and need 85% to pass, believe that you can do it. Also, Physical Assessment can be a really hard class. The class isn't long enough so the teachers don't have time to show you what you need to do during the assessment. You really have to read the book, watch youtube videos and teach yourself. Make a script of what you will say and do when you do your head to toe assessment (know the cranial nerves). If you have a student in your class that is taking it again, ask them for help and watch what they do when they practice. Be prepared for a test and skills check off's almost every week. Good luck!

Congratulations to all those who were accepted! Get ready to work hard!

I got the TB test done today at the CVS on Fort St. in Wyandotte

I will have to check that out! Did you go right to their main hospital or one of the urgent care centers?

Thank you NayNay! Very excited and scared! I went to Concentra yesterday and they do everything but the location I went to didn't have the Hep B shot. The lady told me to check the health department because the shots are less expensive and sometimes are free. I am calling Herman Keifer tomorrow to make an appointment.

YAY! Congrats! So happy for you!! I know, we have to rush on things. I think CVS does the physical and immunizations at their minute clinic. I am going to stop and make sure.

Thank you, I am so excited! Good luck Trish!

I just got my mail. It came and I have been accepted!!

I hope so, I am so nervous.

I got there really early and there were maybe 15 people but it didn't take long so a lot might have shown up after I left. Were there a lot there when you applied?

Not that I need to justify anything I have said but you are implying I am a troublemaker, I'm not and I'm not trying to impress anyone. I thought I had reliable information about a new date and I spoke before I should have. I said I was wrong to do that and apologized. We have all worked hard to get to this point and waiting to hear something that will change your life adds to the stress. The thread about the DMC was information I heard from someone working there and I wanted the opinion of WCCCD nurses because that is the best place to get the information on that topic. Nurses and students were kind enough to offer advice and information, which is what these forums are for. In the Spring 2013 hopeful thread I had the wrong medical math number. At the time WCCCD had two medical maths ALH105 and HSC100. I did not realize there were two and did not spread a rumor. WCCCD is the school I have always wanted to attend and this is my one chance. Hopefully all of us get good news soon, good luck.

I apologize everyone for the wrong info.

I'm sorry that you feel I was trying to start a rumor or impress, that wasn't my intention. I was told by two different students that they had papers from the office showing a new deadline. I thought it was reliable information but obviously I was wrong. I should have waited until I called the office. As soon as I found out I posted that I was wrong. I was upset because this is also my dream and I don't want anything putting it in Jeopardy.

Disregard, I emailed them and the deadline was yesterday. They said the selection process will begin in one week and those chosen will know shortly thereafter.

The deadline has now been moved to December 9. This is unreal.
