Congrats on getting in. I am in class with tim and we just finished our first year today. Some advice that I found helpful... 1. Find a study/car pool group (these people can become some of the best friends you ever had, plus its nice to have some ...

Diana- I believe you join into the current freshman ADN class when we start back up in the summer for our sophomore year. Congrats!!! See you soon.

No, I dont know how many applied. They dont tell you that.

I think I figured I had about 115-119 points, but alot of people I am in class with had less than that because they hadnt completed all of the other non-nursing classes before starting ADN program. I just turned 30 and have a husband and 3 kids rang...

Hello. Not to be nosy but I am starting my 2nd semester in the ADN program at Navarro and thought I would tell you some more info from a students point of view. It's a great program, and the instructors are amazing. We found out our acceptance/den...

amac77- we just finished up first semester and are starting second. The first semester was great but a little hectic adjusting to the nursing way of life and testing. The first month we went pretty much every day, but after that we averaged about ...

So far, so good. I passed my exam and so far have passed all my validations. But, WOW! We cover so much in so little time, some days my brain feels overloaded.

@tim: yes, i saw them yesterday. Hope you did well on your test. Ready for the next 2 this coming week???

Anyone from groups 1,2,3--- how were validations?

they said only clear polish for clinicals, so i would assume that since in class we can wear casual clothes and different scrubs that we can wear colored polish.

sure wish they would open our class on blackboard.

Does anyone know if we have to wear scrubs first day of class? It looks like we will just be doing lecture on vital signs, but I just wanted to make sure.

You two are funny! The Dimensional Analysis stuff is alot easier than I thought it would be.

My stethoscope arrived in the mail today, and I am so excited to start classes!!! Only about 3 weeks left, let the fun begin. Cant wait to get to meet all of you.

way to think positive tim!!!:)

Since I took all of my classes but the science ones online, I kind of have a silly question. Do the instructors on campus let you use a laptop in class for taking notes and using the ebooks??? Because I was thinking that only having to transport m...

I was sitting on second to last row also (black shirt and glasses- if that rings any bells). I cant decide if I want to get the pageburst books for my computer so I dont have to haul the actual textbooks I have to school, because I already bought my...

its the same room where they held info sessions.

Red-- I got the same email and I too had registered with surscan on April 19. Calling Surscan now.

So what is the deal with Fin. Aid department. The fall semester starts in about 6 weeks and they still have no idea when the refunds will be given, but least the did say my FA was approved and sent me copy of award letter. That is one less thing I...

Thanks tim..have you heard anymore about the drug test? I guess that will happen before school starts.

did they say if we need to bring anything for orientation???

a little under 7 weeks before classes start. not that i am counting down or anything. : )

tim- yes, i was really happy with it. However, I was using it for vitals and listening to belly sounds and other ER things. I never tried to hear heart or breath sounds with it so not sure how it will do as far as that is concerned. I would rathe...

Does anyone know what kind of stethoscope is better than others ? I am looking at the Littman Classic II S.E. because I have used this one years before at work, but I dont know if it is a good one for nursing students.
