nope at north, sorry!

You're welcome, if you plan well you will do fine, but with a schedule like that you cannot afford to fall behind! It's too hard to play catch up as this work isn't easy stuff. It's tedious for sure, just the weekends should be fine, but stay on track! Best advice I could give. Congrats on being accepted! It's going to be a wild ride!

just replied to your comment, check above :)

I don't think they let you know if you didn't make it, I would call the health sciences admission department to be sure

Hey there, im in the program, I started May of last year, hopefully will graduate in December. Most people usually work part time in the program IF absolutely necessary. Never heard of anyone doing more than 20-25 hrs a week. I couldn't do it because the program IS a full time job and requires your strict time and devotion. I suggest if you plan to still work full time to create a time schedule to try and fit your studies in. See what you're headed into ahead of time so you can brace yourself. Best of luck!

Hi there, I'm currently in the program at North Campus, I just passed my second specialty (OB) and will be headed to peds after spring break before getting toward home stretch for December graduation (Gods willing). All of what you've heard of been told this far is true! This program is the hardest thing I've ever endured school wise in my life. The instructors so far have been great, just tough and know what they expect in their students/future nurses. So with high expectation, they expect high results so if you aren't willing to put in the hard work of studying, reading and critical thinking all while tying together your skills and rationale, then this isn't the program for you. Test taking will be a slap in the face at first due to different structuring so be sure to master your critical thinking skills. Classes go EXTREMELY fast running on an 8 week sometimes 6 week track so you MUST be ready to hit the ground running. Read everything twice-three times to fully get a beneficial understanding and practice NCLEX questions to make sure your reading can be applied to the scenario. Most of all, never give up! If I tell you the number that my class started with compared to what we have now you will get discouraged but please keep pushing no matter what! After your first test in process I you will see your class thin out, as well as the second test, don't freak out. Only the strong survive. You want it, keep pushing for it. Tears, anxiety and heart palpitations are all normal :) let me know if you have any other questions

Nope they actually encourage using CEU fast :) you should be good

Found out today I Passed GI/GU! Difficult journey but so worth it! On to psych next week! :)

Awesome congrats on passing!! That's ok passing is an achievement now you can move on and focus on your next test!

How did you do Arielle?

After you pass the first math test you move on to going to the hospital during clinicals. The retakes happen before you guys start clinicals whomever doesn't pass the retake doesn't go to clinicals

Hey Acintrone you can wear any shoes for lecture, clinicals MUST be all white. Also the Cox book you don't have to haul around until you guys start care plans so don't worry about that too much. Your first day be prepared like you would any other lecture class and include the fundamentals book if you want to verify concrete info. Just a word of advice once this program starts all nurses will be at the back of your minds I PROMISE you. Lol our May board slowed down TREMENDOUSLY once we've started.

Lol I guess it felt like repeating twice! Lol and thank you so much for your kind words!

So sorry Jenny! But it's ok because you will knock it out the park next time! You can do this! I'm nervous as hell to start GI/GU but I'm excited at the same time. Sometimes I can't even believe I made it through a whole semester already...

For north campus they don't play about portfolios, they check them ASAP so be prepared. Don't remember which day exactly it was but trust me they start checking them once you hand it in so that you're cleared for clinicals
