OMG...letters are going out...(Ahhhhh) ppl have started to receive them!!!!!!!!

I am currently doing my Medical/Surgical rotation there on the ortho floor. I love it there =)

Yes, you do! The current students who are in the program did not have to take the HESI. This is a new requirement! Now, in regards to your question, I've heard good things about Kaplan study guides. Good luck to you!

Yes! You are correct, everything has to be completed by Dec 15th 2013. Have you attended the Nursing orientation?? I am currently in the program and graduate April 2014. Good luck to you. If you have any further questions, please contact me. I will assist you with what I can.

I love clinical, it's where you get to shine, you get to put everything you've learned so far together. The first day is always a little intimidating, but after a hour or so you start to feel good! My first clinical is where I had my "OMG, I actually feel like a nurse." The floor nurses usually are pretty busy, so after I was done w/ my morning VS and assessments, I would follow her around like a lost puppy dog. I wanted to be in on everything, it shows them you really want to learn!!! Good luck :)

We had a girl in our program get kicked out, because of a broken leg. Granted school hadn't started yet, we were 6 weeks away. The DON said she had to be off the crutches before clinical's began, and she wasn't good news was she had a spot held for her for the following year.

I just finished up my first nursing class w/ an "A" up next is OB, then Psych! Med Surg 1 in summer 1. So far so good :)

Hey Brodygirl, What I do is when I get my systolic I say it out loud. That has really helped me. Also regarding the pulse and respirations I asked my lab instructor if we can separate the two and she said yes, so you can do radial pulse write it down and then do the respirations. They just want us to learn how to incorporate them together. So when we do the GAS, we can do it however we want :)

Thank's so much!!! I really excited to get started!!

QuarterLife: what can we expect at the orientation???

My school only has one, which is mandatory and there are no make up days...as of yet! Oh and did I forget to mention there will be 216 of us at one orientation...should be interesting, but anyways I'm super excited to go :)

Yes, that's what the quoted me also.

What about the Science lab?

You just go to Facebook.com

@B316, Never mind I found it...LOL

How do you find it? I searched and can't seem to find it! Thank's :)

mskarb....Sounds like fun!! I love FL, such a good energy state...LOL

OMGoodness, we start Pharm next week , I am already ready for my summer vacation...LOL, this will be my first summer off since I started school back in the Winter of 09...eeek!!!!!! I'm planning a trip w/ my husband to SC this summer, before the craziness really begins in Sept. Anyone else planning any fun summer trips??? :)

Hey all, So I guess the new student nursing orientation has been moved to the Royal Oak campus, instead of the Student Center at HL. They will be sending out letters to us in this up coming week.

I was wondering the same thing...LOL, when I read that post I was like "oh crap, what am I missing?".

Thanks wendyyvonne :)

Hi all, Just a quick question: does anyone know if we have a dress code other than for our clinicals?? I seems like some of the other schools have to dress up and wear lab coats duing lab days?? Thanks!!

mskarb, what a small world..LOL, I am super excited! My poor husband all he hears me talking about is the NP...haha!! Unfourntly I'm in the Wed class, but hopefully we'll have some other class together :) I know we'll all see each other at the orientation :)

sv99, yep thats me...LOL we'll definitely have to keep in touch!! Good luck with your class. Maybe we will have some classes/labs together :)

Hi sv99, thanks for replying :) I guess I didn't realize that we need to read all those chapters...LOL. Anyway's i'm in the Wed class.
