I don't think 10 is too many. You might find over the course of your interview that some of your questions are answered without even having to ask them. Make sure to leave space to jot down answers/notes and any follow up questions that you might get...

Hi there, I recently went through the same interviewing process and will be starting a perioperative residency shortly. DanielOR_RN covered a lot of the same questions I received. One of the first questions the panel asked was what I thought a periop...

The work is hard, but it's not impossible either. The most important thing is you find what works for you and stick with it. What works for you and what works for the people on either side of you in lecture might not be the same, and that's ok! Here ...

You're welcome! There really wasn't much variety in terms of class times. Lecture was on Monday and Tuesdays at 8am. The schedule was divided into two week blocks, so for example, one week classroom A would be focusing on one subject, while classroom...

I graduated, passed my boards, immediately entered an RN-BSN program for one year, and now I'm about to start a new grad residency program at a major hospital/health system in the area. I wish I had been able to work right out of the CCP programs, bu...

Hey all, Congratulations on getting in! CCP was a great program and I'm glad I went there for my initial nursing education. Unless they've changed a ton since I started (in 2012) you'll probably get more information about orientation later in the spr...

The best piece of advice I can give that I don't think I've seen mentioned on here is pay attention to e-mails and online announcements from your instructors/department. From the start the instructors in my program were very clear about using e-mail ...

We must learn IV stuff at some point. It looks like weeks 8 and 9 are when we cover that in lab. We might not do all of it in the first semester, but I don't see how we would get away with never doing it.

So far so good. I like my teachers so far and the material, but getting used to the reading load is taking some getting used to. All my organization is starting to pay off, though. I take back my asking how you saw! I just checked the list. I'm also ...

I hope everyone had a good first day. I realize I don't know if any of you are in my lecture or seminar section or not. Anyway! Speaking of seminar, is it just me or is the information we need for that not on the webstudy site? It was last night, b...

I'm also nervous and exited for tomorrow! Everything just got real. I was also able to access the webstudy material(not sure if it's because I've already taken an online class or if it works for everyone.) They have more information and reading lists...

I sent it...but you'll get two e-mails from me. It didn't send with the attachment when I tried to forward it the first time.

Also, just a heads up I scanned in the study guide for the Potter and Perry readings on my ipad. If anyone wants a copy I can e-mail them to you.

I just came on here to post that. I don't know what made me check again, but I'm glad I did.

I know we'll have to do the reading eventually, so when it gets done isn't really my issue. I'm just more concerned with the fact that they didn't make an announcement or note that they amended the reading list. Oh well. On a side note, I ended up ge...

Have any of you started the reading yet? It looks like the list they originally put up on the group site changed and all the readings from the Potter and Perry text were removed for the first week. On one hand I'm not complaining, because that's a hu...

That was what I was thinking when I picked the color. I kept reading stories from people about stethoscopes disappearing that I figured why not get something I know I'll like and will be less likely to leave with someone else.

I got a pink/"raspberry" colored one. I'm assuming they can be any color you want them to be since they're going to be yours for however long and getting one that you know you can ID is a plus. Can you imagine if we all had identical stethoscopes?

All white shoes. I wound up getting a pair of all white nike air max 90s they were on the more expensive side and in mens, but I knew what I was getting into since I've had to do the size conversions before and AM90s are hands down the most comfy pai...

The neverending uniform struggle continues. After no sign of any package yesterday I checked the tracking info and there was a delivery confirmation. After checking with my neighbors I called UPS and they basically said, "Sorry, but you'll have to ge...

I checked it again this morning and it said it was on the truck and would be delivered by the end of the day, go figure. I hope it's the same deal for you too.

I ordered online June 2nd and received a call from the people at Advance last Monday(the 4th) telling me everything was back ordered and wouldn't be shipping out until the 19th. Then Friday I get the e-mail notification that it's shipped, but accordi...

Yes, you use the same book and the same lab book for both 109 and 110. In 109 you go from chapter 1(levels of organization/cell and chemistry review) through 18(the endocrine system). In 110 you start back up at chapter 19(blood) and end at the end ...

Thank you! I ended up ordering the ones that we're supposed to order along with my shirts and all. I figured I'd wait and see once we started how strict they were about the bottoms being different before getting a different pair or being stuck witho...

Where are you guys getting the alternate scrub pants from? I remember hating the ones they had from orientation when I tried them on, but if I can get away with not having to go that route I might.
