My CNA license is expired, and when I called to ask about it, was told I didn't need to renew because we aren't required to have the license-the main thing is that we have acquired the skills/knowledge from taking the course

Okay Dallas peeps! I created a Facebook group, "Texas Tech Accelerated BSN 2018 - Dallas" Should be able to copy and paste the group name and find it. If not, let me know and I can send emailed invitations to join!

I haven't heard of one. I can start a page, unless someone else wants to!

Accepted to Dallas--my first (only) choice! Congrats, everyone! =)

Is everyone excited for Tuesday?!? :)

Good to know! I have records for everything except tdap, but I am pretty certain that I got it this past summer for work... I'll also need a second tb test as I have only had one in the last year

Oh wow, jlg- that is awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

Thanks for the encouragement!! That's so awesome that we have mentors. It's nice to have someone there to give tips and guide us newbies

Thank you both for your input on working and time management. This is much needed advice as I will be working full time, at least for the first semester. It's nice to hear from others that it CAN be done! I'll definitely jump on the med term and ma...

Gotcha. Well I am certainly excited for orientation and to meet you and my fellow classmates! Enjoy your break from classes! I will try to do the same, as I know my days of free time and sleeping in on weekends are quickly coming to a close :) Thank...

Good deal... How much money should we expect to need for extras at orientation?

Wonderful! Anything else that is on the orientation list that I should be prepared for? I think I saw another post that you mentioned about a lab coat but I might wait on buying that until after orientation..

OH! Pen lights! I think I saw somewhere that we will need one?

Congrats on being finished!!! Sounds like you have a good job, and it's SO nice to have a boss who is supportive. I think that I might end up having to work full-time or close to it, at least for the first semester. Hubby is in his last semester o...

Thank you, Thank you!! Also-I hope finals are going/went well for you!! =) Okay, so I am a little worried now about the Blue Card thing... I have already done the Group One Background check thing and been fingerprinted. How long does it usually tak...

You might regret saying that once I'm finished asking alllllllll of my questions! Haha. I'm working on a list so I can just ask you all at once :) BUT-my big issue now is paying for all of these things! I totaled between the kits, supplies, backgroun...

Okay, I know I've had a million questions it seems! Organization with my class materials is HUGE to me. I've found some good ideas here on AN that seem like they'll work out great for me. So I am just curious-for clinical will there be papers, not...

I think this may have been answered somewhere already but I don't remember! Will we ever wear our own "street clothes" to class? Or did I hear that the red scrubs are always worn to class? Also-do most people bring books to class or just note taking ...

jls- Thanks so much!!

Thank you! I made 87% overall, but A&P was by far my worst section. The website says the cutoff score this semester is 69% (I believe) so I am just waiting on the official acceptance letter now! So excited and nervous!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in and get your opinions/advice/etc on first semester ADN at nctc! I just took the Kaplan rest yesterday and feel like I have a pretty good chance of acceptance, so I'm trying to go ahead and get myself prepared. Tha...

Faithnwilliam21 - how did you do on the test?? I was at the 1:00 section.. Wondering if we were both there at the same time?!

I tested yesterday!

Zweielles, thank you so much for the response! I know you have to be extremely busy, so I appreciate you taking the time to tell about your nursing school experience :)
