Hey Virgolove, I am in cohort 3. Just looking for any suggestions for Pharmacology. How are the tests? Multiple choice? Essay? Short answer? Are they from the book or her notes or her head? Nobody in our cohort understands the information yet about the clinicals...I'm going to hold tight until it is explained next week. :) What cohort are you? Thanks--A

You will need to have as many of the prerequisites as you can to be competitive. The required ones are English, A&P, and chemistry or micro. There are others that are supposed to be completed as well, but are not required to start the program such as PHI. You need your CPR certification before school starts. As far as the information session, I would call. I don't think they REALLY keep track of that if you want to know the truth. I did mine 2 years before I applied, and I SERIOUSLY doubt they have proof of my attendance. The most important thing is the prerequisites, and the Hesi A pre-nursing exam. If you score well on those, they will admit you. The trick is they must be complete before you apply. Good luck!

You rarely need your textbook. Towards the end they will ask you to bring your Taber's and the nursing care plan book to clinical. A normal backpack is all you'll need. Here is some advice... Read first and stay AHEAD of the reading. It is too much. You can go ahead and read the first chapter now...I know that is on the syllabus. Study from your notes mainly but be sure to read the chapters. Go with any stethoscope, but don't spend too much. It has to have a bell. We all MOSTLY have the Littman II. I don't know what size you are but I have two small shirts available if you are interested. Try to get the Dove pants, as it is required by some clinical instructors. Get them now so you have a chance of having them fit, come in on time, and you can hem them. Also get the bag of stuff required for Nursing 108. It is available at the bookstore as a kit #1, make sure it is all there. Get a washable watch with a second hand. I got mine at Target. It's white, with colored numbers which helps when counting. Enjoy!

Hey Abacrumbie, What book did you use for Pharmacology? Any suggestions for the rest of us? Thanks

We are out by 2:30 or earlier everyday. I don't take the tunnel---no idea. :) If anyone needs small uniform shirts, I have two.

It is stuff that you may want to print before class. Powerpoint, and notes etc.. It may not be critical on the first day or maybe they will dive right in and you will wish you had them...I would try to get them printed asap. If anything, you can print them at school during our lunch break. See you tomorrow :)

I have posts in Bb, of course, it's the day before school...:)

I got the hesi A2 study guide. It was good for me to study for the math, the chem, and physics

Thanks for coming by and for the EXCELLENT advice. Please visit often!! :)

I'm not. I am in NYC that weekend.

Hey, CP1024, I might not remember your face when I see you--please remind me who you are if you remember me!

CP1024 Were you on the front right corner, and switched right after the meeting? I was standing there and told the girl who wanted to switch that I knew of someone who wanted to switch, but then someone (you?) jumped in on the opportunity. It's funny if it was you, both of us were trying to get a switch for YOU. Nurseinthemakin, do not be ashamed! You are an alternate, and I'm sure they will call you. The girl who sat across from me has been an alternate twice now and she is still hoping :)
