Being hard of hearing is really affecting my posture.

After a twelve hour shift, I always feel like something is weighing me down.

Obama/Biden 2012 :)

I'm a terrible mix of excited and anxious, hah :) Good luck to you as well, and also a congratulations for getting in! Well worth the wait :)

I will be at Mercy. I wouldn't mind using my iPad for it, but it would be more of a pain to take with me. I'll make do with it though. Thanks for the information :)

I ended up getting accepted into the program way earlier than I had anticipated. I finished my prereq courses (micro and A&PII) in December and getting my letter in March. So I will be in nursing classes starting August 27th! I am very excited it worked out that way. I get to stay at LCCC and not wait for forever. :)

Is it necessary to have an iPod Touch? Like would you recommend it? I have an iPad but it is obviously much larger to be carrying around lol but I just wondered what your opinion was on getting an iPod. Thanks for all of the tips though :)

Also, if you're on facebook, check out the Lorain County Community College Student Nurses page! A lot of students share questions and information on there, so it's definitely a good place to look for help! :)

Oh I am so excited to see a board for Fall 2012 ADN students! Although it seems I have missed the buzz Clearly I need to log on here more often. I'm super excited to finally start this fall! Well, excited and ridiculously nervous at the same time. Congrats to everyone who finally made it in!

I researched a bit into it just the other day at the suggestion of my mother. However, I have a 1 year old daughter and we don't have a reliable support system for sitters, so it has been a balance between my husband and I since she was born last August, him working and myself in school. The biggest benefit to going to one of the community colleges as opposed to CSU is the difference in tuition. I am really hoping to get through this with as little owed back in loans as possible. I do think it would be worth looking into CSU again if it would be me working towards my BSN instead of obtaining an ADN and then pursing a BSN... Oh and I forgot to mention above I do have high school honors Chemistry I & II taken my sophomore and senior years... I know that qualifies towards the degree at LCCC, is it the same at Tri-C? I applied for nursing in May of this year Makes it even worse... I just feel like I'm going to be at a stand still while waiting, and I hate that feeling! Hahaha Thank you again for the information :)

I am a current student at LCCC - I am currently enrolled in Microbiology and A&PII, and by the time I finish this semester, I will have completed all of the required support courses for LCCC (Stats, A&P I and II, Micro, Psych, Soc, College Comp I, Human Growth & Development, with some other classes riddled in there for good measure :) haha) My main interest is finishing up my ADN as quickly as possible because I plan on moving out of state to be closer to family after that and pursuing my BSN after the move... Basically, the wait list at LCCC seems to be ever growing and I don't have any clue as to when I am going to potentially be called for clinicals - I have been told next fall, I've been told Fall 2014 - and I want to know more about Tri-C. Is the clinical wait shorter at Tri-C? Are the LCCC credits I have transferable? I feel like for the last three semesters I have had a clear goal from one semester to the next and now I've realized after this semester I will just be twiddling my thumbs. Okay, not literally, I was going to keep taking courses towards my BSN and some other courses I have been interested in, but not having a definite idea of when I will finally be in clinicals is... annoying for lack of a better word at the moment, haha. Any ideas? Any information or help is greatly appreciated!
