Hey Brittani22 If you have taken all your prereqs you should have a good base knowledge. I studied the NLN review book for 2 weeks intensely and did very very well on the test. If I were you I'd take it and see how you do ... worst case scenario ......

@smileanyway ..... YEY! Congrats to you!!!! I'm so happy for you. I know how badly you wanted it. ....and I also know how hard it is to wait ... and wait .... and wait. No more waiting for you...let the torture begin! (kidding). Congrats

@and1096 ... you are absolutely right there could be many people with the same score. @smileanyway ... Don't lose hope ... I was accepted within the last two weeks before class started. Wishing you all luck!

You will hear this many times in the program ... "Blessed are the flexible, for when they get bent out of shape they do not break." I know that the people you have been dealing with up to this point seem to care less whether you are "in" or "out" of...

We didnt have a list of drugs to learn really. When doing our clinicals we would have to research and type up drugs info cards on all of the drugs that we would be giving to our assigned patient for the next day. Changed with every patient - usually ...

Regina ... you can have my Fundamentals success workbook if you want it. I might have done 2 chapters in it. Just let me know when you are at the school and I can try to get it to you.

Hi Allison1993 and Reg4fun.... The book list has drastically changed with the curriculum, I'm sorry to say. We used Math for Meds and Kozier and Erbs Fundamentals of Nursing as our required books. In my opinion, no matter how much it changes you...

FYI ... Just a heads up on uniforms ... make sure you get tops with big pockets. You will need plenty of room to stuff your stethoscope, light, pens, note pad, gloves, scissors ... etc.

reg4fun ... do you need the Lilley Pharmacology book still? It was on our Fundamentls book list, not sure what they have you guys ordering for your first class. If you do ... dont buy it until you get ahold of me.

CONGRATS Allison1993 !!!

@dreamgirl823 .... FYI. There were a Total of 70 of us accepted into the program in the last class. LPN/medic's included. Congrats on your accomplishments so far!

@dreamgirl823 ... I found out 2 weeks before class started. They never would tell us how many alternates there were ... and I know 5 others in my class that were alternates ... but I dont talk to everyone so I'm not really sure how many got in. Wish ...

You are very welcome! Maybe one of you will pass it on to the next applying class of Spring 2014 ...

Allison ... They select from the alternate pool in order of score. I watched it happen one by one when I was an alternate. Dont loose hope... a lot of us got in that were on the list. Good luck!

@scott5989 They will give you the exact dates during the mandatory meeting that you need to have them done by. We had a choice of two or three days the week right after the meeting to get the fingerprinting done (right near the school), and I think...

CONGRATS johnnyvirgo .... You're in! The "provisional" terminology refers to you still needing to pass a drug test, background check, physical etc. Welcome to the ADN program!

@LBM1979 No, they guard that information like it was a classified military secret! I still dont get it.... I sure hope you make it ... I know that feeling and it stinks! After you go thru all the meetings, jump thru all the hoops ... fingerprint...

CONGRATS to all those accepted to the new Fall 2013 ADN class! Get some rest now ... you'll need it!

@ LBM1979 Congrats on making the alternate list! I was an alternate too and got accepted at the last minute. Just remember to not miss ANY meeting or deadline ... you have to progress as though you are part of the program. I also suggest that you ord...

@efryauff Yes, they allow a long sleeve white undershirt. .... and you are right, they don't want to see tattoos. @Allison1993 Well, I am currently working 12 hour shifts on Sat and Sun. It's making it a LOT harder to get everything done. Howev...

I STRONGLY suggest that you call or e-mail the nursing dept. We were told if you miss it you have to re-apply next semester. The sooner the better. Good Luck!

Good Luck you guys! FYI, check your irsc e-mail. We were told the letters would come traditional postal service ... then got suprised with e-mail notifications a couple of weeks early.

@jonnyvirgo ... LMAO ... What exactly did I say to terrify you? HaHaHa - Sorry. Well, we started out in a nursing home. You start out doing CNA work. That may terrify some people.... :-). You will learn to get very comfortable with other peoples bodi...

Well guys ... The whole curriculum has been rearranged. I'm in Fundamentals now (my first class), and you won'y even HAVE a class called Fundamentals! You will be learning things in a different sequnce than we are. The first semester is tough! The in...

@efryauff .... a 156 is a GREAT score on the NLN! Congrats! In the past it has been 70, but I'm not sure about anything anymore since they changed it all. I started in January ... my class is/was 70.
