So we have a month till 4th semester starts!! Whoop whoop can't wait! We're almost there everyone!

Hi! I'm starting this thread for people who are starting the RN program at COC for Fall 2012. I'm so excited i was chosen and can't wait for the orientation and to finally begin the program.

Wow I can't believe my last test is tomorrow! It feels like the beginning of the semester was years ago, but yet went by like a blink of an eye! My professor was the greatest ever, and my classmates and carpool buddies were awesome. Couldn't have ask...

Thank you for the info. It is very much appreciated!

Thank you Cocstudentnurse! Is there anything you reccommend to help us pass? Is it the information that is hard to comprehend or is it the amount of material that is needed, the harder part?

@quick248 COC is College of the Canyons, its in Santa Clarita, CA. @2Dawn I havent met with the COC counselors yet, since I took all my pre-reqs at AVC so I know i have to take extra classes, but im sure the counselors can help you with those questio...

Congrats Rishybugg!! I'm going to be at Henry Mayo, so excited couldnt have asked for a better 1st semester. I was looking up some of the books too and our two volume med-surg pack on Amazon is from 150-999 dollars! I hope COC has it cheaper than a g...

@workingstudent the dean did say it was going to be the hardest and 5days a week for at least 8weeks, i think mayelvn is in the bridge program because thats the wrong info i posted earlier from a girl i work with who said it was 3days a week i didnt ...

@Mayelvn im going to start the generic adn, thanks for all the info its very much appreciated. when do we actually start the 3day a wk schedual because at orientation they said it was going to be 5 days a week? What semester are you in?

Is anyone taking the nursing pharmacology and dosaging class this summer?

Has anyone recieved info about Kaplan yet? This is pretty much the only thing i need now.

Just a suggestion, nursing shoes are good, but a lot of nurses that i work with just wear the new type of Nikes, and have a couple of pairs to rotate with. Nursing shoes and the Nikes are about the same price. @37 i wish they would let us know what ...

Sorry about the 3 day a week misinformation, just found out that particular person started in 3rd semester thru the lvn bridge program. U dont have to get 2 vaccines of all of them as long as u have positive titers and proof of vaccinations, if u are...

Yeah, she said one day is theory, and two days of clinicals, but 1st semester may vary. This would be a perfect schedual for me too. @ DarleneH My email said Congratulations that i was selected for this fall, but if they gave u orientation material u...
