Does anyone know when the Providence TIP Program for August will be starting? I'm merely curious, and can't seem to get a hold of an actual human being through HR.

Has anyone been contacted by Saint Joseph's, Holy Cross, or Saint John's?? Should we be calling them or are they going to be calling/emailing us?

The application period just ended on the 31st of may so I'm assuming they're reviewing all the apps now

Just my letter of intent. And I applied for all 5 providence hospitals in california

Wow thank you so much for posting this. You are so inspiring and determined!! Congratulations!! I can really relate to your story. In school I was an awesome student and got pretty good grades. But currently I am hard core struggling with the NCLEX. ...

Haha I know right!? At least a small teeny tiny "break".

I haven't seen the syllabus either only the lecture schedules for skills lab and theory. I hope they post the schedule for pharm soon! We do have a spring break right? Like the rest of COC?

Tiktokk, I'm glad it worked!!! I'm at Holy Cross on Tuesday and Wednesday also. Are you scheduled for 630-315?

As far as I know we need our uniforms for the skills lab and clinicals. So I believe we need the uniforms with the patches by the first skills lab date, which is shown on the schedule that the teachers emailed us.

Tiktokk, I went into the "express registration" on my canyons and entered in the section numbers and was able to see the times there :) Are you at Holy Cross also?

I just got mine too!!! I'm pretty happy with the schedule...I like it :) I'm at Holy Cross Hospital.

I'm not in the bridge program and I haven't received an email yet! It must only be for the bridge students. Thank you for telling us the advice that the nursing students gave you. I plan to not work the first semester and see how I do and then get a...

Doodlebuggie, I won't be working while in the program, only over the summers :) I know it's different for everyone, but I can't work and be totally focused on school that's this rigorous. If you think you can work than try it and see how you feel :)

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I will be starting nursing school in February. Although I know the work load will be huge and my schedule will be crazy, I am so excited to start this next chapter in my life!!

doodlebuggie, Congrats on getting in!! You need to order same number of patches as your uniforms ( ie. if you buy 2 uniforms than you need 2 patches) For the schedule during the first semester, class is Monday thru Friday with 2 clinical days (I'm n...

Chrrristinand, good luck!!! Has anyone received their emails from the nursing professors yet?

A day after I emailed them to the nursing department I got an email to confirm that they have received them. I sent them on Wednesday and got an email on Friday.

Does anyone have any recommendations for stethoscopes?? I've been looking at them on allheart.com and the Littmans look pretty good :)

According the measurement I'm an women's xs top and I never wear an xs haha. I just order a small and extra small to be safe.

Thanks for letting us know about the uniform website!!! Does anyone know if they run big or small?

The book is called "Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th Edition". It got really good reviews on amazon! Has anyone else seen this or heard of any other books that could help?

Tiktokk, I think that's a really good idea. Even though we should "relax" before the semester, I hate the feeling of not doing anything that's going to help me for the nursing program. Especially if potentially failing that test could kick us out of ...

Wootnurse, Hello!! I just got into the program for this spring and am so stoked to start! I'm glad to hear that it was the greatest 2 years of education for you :) I am wondering if you have any advice for us students just starting??

Chrrristinad, Ok thanks that's what I thought. I got an email from them a couple days ago saying that my background check has been completed and gave me the option to send it to a recipient so that's why I was asking.

2dawn, I'll definitely let you know! Has anyone done their background check yet? If so, do we email COC the results or is it already sent to them?
