P.S. NSA spirit wear can only be purchased via cash or check. You worked your hearts out to get into this program, and I think everyone should get the Carpe Diem RN student sweat shirts, t-shirts, decal for your vehicle and etc. Your call, but it rea...

Guys to answer a few of your questions: You will only wear your scrubs to school when you have skills testing, and to clincals. During group registration you will all get together, and you will get your assigned classes & schedule. It is already ...

I just wanted to take a moment to say "CONGRATS!" to everyone who made it into the JJC program! I am gearing up for exams and upcoming finals for first semester. Welcome to the JJC RN program everyone! If there is any questions I can help with just l...

Mental break time for me...you will all understand soon enough. Lauryn, there are 6 of us in my clinical group and only 2 of us are CNA's. The other 4 had to take the CNA classes with the regular classes. It is a ton of work on top of what you alread...

Ok...Theory is calling my name...time to go study! Have a beautiful & blessed evening my soon to be RN family!!

One more thing, Lauryn...I feel for ya with the children situation. However, you will be happy to know that most of us have children in the program. I have 5 children, and if I can do this---then so can you!!!!

Lauryn, if Kim Dyer is good at bio then she is good at micro. It is almost the same thing! So do not stress, because she can't be great at one, and suck in the other. So let that worry go, because it is time that you can't get back!

Lauryn, that was so sweet to say! However, we are ALL in this together! It is up to all of us to keep our spirits up, and to make it through the program, because if one of your clinical team and or you are falling down that proverbial black hole---it...

Rate My Professor put Kim Dyer down for a 4.3 A- average. So you should be ok with her! Here is the last comment on the site: Professor Dyer is an exceptional teacher. She was able to answer every single question that I had with confidence. It's a sh...

Lauryn, I have no clue about Kim Dyer. I took every class that Dr. Bellas gave, and I refused to take them with any other teacher. Did you pull her up on rate my professor? That may help out! :)

P.S. Supplies: uni-ball BLACK no smearing JETSTREAM pens, highlighters, rolling book bag, stetho, BP cuff, (2) penlight with pupil mm on side, pocket drug book for clinicals, PDQ RN book clinicals (awesome!), finger 02 sat (you can get this at the bo...

Tips....boy oh boy...do I have lots of them, but the most important is "ORGANIZATION!" You guys will be hearing that over and over! I can't stress enough that you really need to be organized. They will give you all this phenomenal monthly calendar sc...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to touch base with you, because I remember how stressed I was when I was trying to get into the RN program at JJC. The entry has changed a bit, but the stress appears to still be the same. I just wanted to remind you all...

Well it is finally here, and I take the TEAS exam at JJC next Thursday. I have been studying for over 2 months, and I still do not feel ready. I paid and took the ATI on-line TEAS exam A twice. The first time I choked, and the second time was in the ...

Thimble-I was online and my theory class opened up online. I printed out my syllabus and was tinkering in the site, and I can honestly say...I am SO lost! LOL! Then I just got an email from Paul and they changed our location for the mandatory orienta...

Oh yah, and I got a ZUCA rolling bag for Christmas for the program. Has anyone ever used the ZUCA rolling bag for books? It is quite sturdy, and nice. Our paperwork said to go with a rolling bag for the program, and I do not want to carry all those h...

It has been a bit since I have been on here due to phleb. clinicals, finals, and the holiday. I hope everyone is still doing great. Thimble, I believe those shoes are just fine for clinicals. They have to be all white, closed toes, and leather. So yo...

I just finished dropping off all my paperwork off at the office. It is completed, and one less hurdle to get over. I had all my shots and etc. done by my PCP, and they were totally fine with that. The drug screening/background check was done and e-ma...

KC, I have no clue about what we wear when we are in sims lab. I hope we get all that information in our orientation January 9th. Good luck at the doctors office today.

Thimble, it looks like we will have our classes together. It appears that we will also have clinicals together. I had all my shots, titer, TB and etc. done at my primary doctors office and that is what I am using and submitting. I had all this done f...

Registration was exciting & crazy all at once. SO much information, and was I the only one who thought that the uniform ordering was not only there late, slowww but very un-organized??! Anyway, I purchased 2 tops with patches, and 2 jackets with ...

madeaje-sorry to hear about the hours in the night program. During registration they said you could come to them if you had a problem with the scheduling, and they were working on a few students at registration with switching their hours. Our green p...

KC, I thought the funding was the same but wasn't sure. It's good to hear because now you can get the proverbial ball rolling and get what you need for the program. Well I just finished my phlebotomy class finals and pulled an A. Now I'm waiting on ...

Just when you thought it was safe to hide from dimensional analysis...it comes back full force! LOL!

I found this online, and thought it might help all of us understand the program a wee bit better. Granted it is not the updated version but fall 2014 nursing student handbook version. http://www.jjc.edu/academics/divisions/nursing-allied-health/nurs...
