Hi yall, I was just skimming thru allnurses and thought I 'd check on yall! Im in NP1 now at Dale Mabry, I just wanted to let yall know that some of us didnt find out as promised before orientation, for instance I was accepted, and not assigned a campus until weeks after orientation, but it was all for the good it was truly God's blessing because I had a low gpa, needed dale mabry mornings, and got dale mabry mornings a week and a half or two weeks before classes started. The best thing you can do right now, is try not to worry about your campus assignment and get some much needed rest and family time and save money because once you start, ....you start. If you can get the books early, start reading!!!!!!!! Good luck, I hope everything works out for each of you!

I'm not sure which hospitals are associated with south shore, I have too much other hospital/clinical/nursing/exams/etc shoved into my head but NP1 dale mabry is at st joes

That's so nice of you!!!

Yeah I need to sit down and do all the problems in the book this week

I think I'm ready but I haven't done any practice nice last week :/

It's kind of hard to study for

It is terrifying. But focusing on just what you can do day by day makes it less terrifying.

You are responsible for 6-12 chapters a week of the fundamentals of nursing book

I meant to write: the first couple weeks (1-4) you spend your clinical day at the nursing lab. After week 4 you spend your clinical day at the hospital and the. Spend your outside lab hours in the lab, and comp ours in the computer lab. You'll have 1 clinical day(10 hours) and 2 lecture days (3hours)

Get ready to read every minute of your life. Well in the first couple weeks is the clinical day where you spend time sitting in the nursing lab, taking notes while the professor goes over the skills you were supposed to have read how to do, then practicing the skills by yourself or on a friend, then for lecture days you are supposed to have read another x number of chapters for example 3 chapters a lecture, 4 chapters a clinical that the professor just talks about what's important and shows you how you'll use the information in practice "nursing process" and you're also responsible you've read the entire first 9 chapters of clinical calculations and know it since there's not much review of it and they test you on it surfing week 2 or 3 depending on your professor

Thank you and of course anything i can do to help! Aw exciting!!! Good luck, it's worth the wait enjoy your last bits of rest! Which campus are you hoping to get?

We were given the entire 9-12 class period

They were kind of basic and simple. For instance "chose which word completes the sentence correctly" "how many pints in 80 ounces" "the buttocks are located in which surface of the body (dorsal)" "what's the authors attitude" "if a cell is put in a hypotonic solution where will the water travel" A lot of fraction problems, an oxidation ?, DNA & RNA, meiosis/mitosis A lot of stuff

It covers math, biology, chemistry, reading comprehension, vocab, grammar, anatomy and physiology (30-55 questions each section) and it also includes a personality/what type of learner are you part that's 15 questions each

It's an entrance level nursing exam called the HESI admissions assessment or HESI A2 for short. At the beginning of NP1 there will be the HESI A2 you will have to take just to give the instructor an idea of where the students are, it doesn't count towards a grade. But at the end of NP1 you will take another HESI (not A2 but I don't know what it's called or which one) and it will count for 10-15% of your grade. We will have to take it at the end of each NP semester. It's not new just previous threads kind of stopped talking to each other after orientation and what not and we are a pretty friendly knit group lol (I believe). I believe it's related to the NCLEX
