i didn't have any experience either!! i definitely think it adds anxiety! rate my professor, word of mouth...once you get your registration date, then you just log on and pick! there is probably like 4 different sites, sometimes on different days to choose from. i registered last this semester so i didn't have a choice in who i got!

uhm yea, i think clinicals matter. there are a lot of people who took the "easy" instructors, and aren't as confident. I've had the "tough" instructors pretty much the whole time, and while it sucked, i definitely think I'm better for it. I've done a lot of clinicals at county, where i am currently, and you get a lot of experience with the patients, and they are willing to teach. some places don't let you do as much charting too. so i would suggest not taking the easy way out. my clinical instructor now is neither easy nor hard, but i figure I've paid my dues....especially 3rd semester!!!

Thanks!!! uhmmmm the first semester has A LOT of assigned reading, but its only for the first half of the semester. i think the tests are a little difficult because the questions are in NCLEX format.......with multiple right answers (you pick the best one!), an multiple answer questions. but really think what makes it most difficult is just nerves in the clinical setting and getting your bearings, which no one can prepare you for!! Second semester is a breeze, and med surge 3rd semester is the the hardest followed by psych which is a breeze. the hardest part is remembering all the info, because it all builds on each other, and is brought together 4th semester. first semester prepare to feel a little out of sorts, but thats normal!!! you'll figure it out, and develop your own study pattern. i would be careful about overstudying....go into as much detail on a subject that is on the powerpoint. honestly i haven't opened a book except for a couple times the whole program, but that is what works for me!! but if you study the power points, and really understand it, you shouldn't need to much more than that!

I am a 4th semester student at SJDC set to graduate in May, if you have any questions, let me know:) I also will be giving my uniforms away when I'm done (they are in excellent condition), and possibly some books! If you are interested let me know.

you should have an email that comes that says it, but it is July 13!! so you have some time

I feel like the packet was long and confusing!

Uhm yea. I think if you have positive titers then include the date of the vaccine. If u have negative titers then get the vaccine

yea, im kinda leaning toward yes, only because i feel like it cant hurt! although it is cutting summer short a whole week!!! yea i wish someone who has taken it would give us their input!!!
