Hi, I know this thread is a year old, but I am just wondering if you have any advice for someone entering the RCC ADN program for 2012, since you all are seniors this year... TIA if y'all are still around. :)

Thanks so much for all of your input! I do not intend on consuming myself with studying over the summer, but to just fill in here and there whenever I have free time. I especially am glad that several of you have brought attention to the fluid and electrolytes because that would have to be one area that I am needing some refreshing on, especially now seeing how much I will need to have down from the get-go. I think that wishing away the summer was due to the initial excitement from receiving that letter that I have worked so hard for. I am still over the moon, but it has settled down a little bit. So, I will be taking all of your suggestions and go from there!!!

I was also accepted this year. I have heard from talking to several other students that they are waiting for OHSU to get back to them regarding acceptance. I think that many may choose to go that way if accepted and with you being number 3 gives you a great chance of making it in, especially if what yayforscience said about 20 alternates getting through is true!! Good luck, keep us posted, and hopefully I get to meet you both this coming September. :)

Hello, I am one of many new Fall 2012 nursing students who is just dying for summer to be over to begin nursing school! Anyway, I was thinking about refreshing myself on some Anatomy and Physiology over the summer to keep me busy and curb some of my anxiousness. I am just wondering if there is any area I could focus on more than others, or should I just take a look at it all? I know it's going to be one of the harder nursing classes/semesters to weed out the unsure students, so I just want to be refreshed and prepared (well, as much as I can be). Any other tips for preparation before beginning school? Thanks in advance...I'm super stoked to begin this journey!!!

I am! I just received my acceptance letter yesterday and have reread it what feels like a hundred times just to be sure I am not dreaming! It really is a dream come true. I look forward to sharing our experiences on this board, as well as suggestions and support for one another. Congratulations to all who made it into nursing school! We've worked hard for it and earned it!
