I feel horrible because my wonderful puppy dog has to stay inside my apartment for long hours at a time, waiting for me to get home. I don't know how to not feel I am neglecting her while I am in nursing school and trying to work! She's my best friend and she deserves so much. I sure hope she doesn't ever forget who I am. I love her so much and she has been there for me through so muchalready. I guess we both have to be strong for one more year!

I'm sure excited to see all the new 1st years coming to CCC! What an exciting time! CCC is awesome...looking forward to being a 2nd year :-)

The first term you are on campus the most, but only half days about 3-4 days/ week. Consider this term your adjustment to a whole new learning style! You have plenty to keep you busy so staying up on assignments, projects and reading ahead of time are important. Clinicals come in at winter term, along with a heavier course load. It's a wonderful, stressful, rewarding, hectic mess of a time! And I love it. CCC is a great school with instructors who really care and are passionate about nursing!

Just finishing my first year at CCC...looking forward to meeting everyone coming into the program!

One iphone app I use is called NCLEX RN QBANK. It's 0.99 but so worth it!

It's funny...I have two different apps on my phone and use them quite a bit too. As the time in nursing school goes on, I have noticed I'm getting a little better each time. Something must be sinking in!

I am just finishing up my first year of nursing school. I have been copying and pasting every one of my NCLEX quiz and exam questions from every class, with rationales, into file. I thought about converting these questions over to flash cards and using them to study for the NCLEX. I still have a year to go and will add significantly to the pile by the end. Does this sound like a good plan or a waste of time? I already have over 2000 questions saved!

I get so excited for everyone when I read these posts! I was there (or should I say here) last year. I am just finishing up my first year at Clackamas...Love it! Hope to see some of you there. Best of Luck to everyone.

For emmyers...I went to the county health department to get my immunizations. They only cost $15 each for my 2nd mmr and TD. I think they do titers there too. I can get you the number if you need it. And jillane...I actually DID cry. I was accepted into three schools and found that I had a tough time deciding between MT Hood and CCC. I chose CCC. And to tell the truth...I don't think I have stopped jumping up and down, lol. I am taking a couple classes right now during the summer- one to go towards my BA(stats). But super excited! We have all worked so hard to get here and it feels great knowing that we made it.

How awesome Jillane!!! You must be so excited that you could pee your pants . Good luck and have fun!

I think your chances of getting in are pretty good Jillane2011! So much can happen in two months. I'm keeping happy thoughts for you!

I have been accepted into a nursing program starting this Fall (yay!). At orientation, we were all given a Health History and Physical Examination Form to complete- part for us and part for the doctor. I guess my question is this: Could or Would I be rejected into the program if I am being treated for depression? I take a medication for it and do just fine. There is no concern whatsoever that my doctor will clear me. I am very healthy but worry that the school will see a problem with this! Any input would be great! Thanks. I might be overly panicked about it, but I just don't want ANYTHING to mess this up for me. I have worked so hard to get here!

Well, I can tell you that two people were called off the wait list this morning and attended today! They also said that there are about 20 others hoping and waiting to see if anyone drops out over the next month or so. Hope that helps a little. will post more later. Heading out to celebrate my birthday!

Hi Gabrianam...tomorrow is the orientation for those who have accepted Clackamas this Fall. And...it is my birthday, lol. But mostly because I have worked my you know what off to get to this point and had to choose between 3 schools...Clackamas won out, so tomorrow we see what my next two year awaits....I'm super excited!

Is there anyone else that is excited about tomorrow?
