So how many people are in your class now? 30? What is trends all about? I heard it's mostly just all clinical, is that so? I just started the transition program, so i got a ways to go, so just curious at this point.

It's due Monday?? I thought the paper said Tues the 24th? Well I at least got 2 1/2 hours in today and most of my stuff checked off; i'll probably just do the rest tomorrow after class. See you tomorrooooowww!! :)

Any transition students on here still? Have u done the review skills sheets yet (the 6 hours) that we need done before 6/26? I'm gonna do my hours today and tomorrow, but was wondering if it is absolutely necessary to have another student to check off your skills...? I doubt this will get seen in time, buuuut just incase, i suppose :)

Scrub pants and all white shoes.

Do you know when we are supposed to get the stuff from our teacher on d2l to start practicing the skill sets? I can't remember what they said; only that we'll need to go to the lab and get stuff done before our class starts on the 20th.. I did hear that correct, right? ugh I'm so nervous. I'm gonna start brushing up on assessments I suppose.

Anyone going to South campus that needs the orientation packet for the generic program for Friday's orientation? If so I have one to give away

Does anyone know where to buy dansko's other than online? I would like to try them on somewhere before dropping $100 on a pair of shoes

Accept a loan or apply for one? Did you go through all the "steps" on BC's website? Broward College - Loans If anything just call them..?

Ok, well thats the difference then. If they have a back, that's fine. But actual "clogs" dont have backs, or just like the little strap on the back, which some people mistakenly buy. Are those things really that comfortable?? I mean they have to be right? EVERYBODY has them. And they're sooo expensive!!! I think i'll just find some all white sneakers somewhere

The shoes have to be ALL white. No black or colors on them anywhere. ALL white. And NO CLOGS!! My friend was in the program and she said a lot of people bought the dansko clogs and they weren't able to wear them. Your shoes have to have an actual back on them.

anyone else's preadmission session on april 14th? Mine's at 9am that day..

Yes, i am! :) I just got my email too. Yayy finally!!

congrats to everyone!! Stilllll waiting over here. I might go there tomorrow if mine doesn't change, showing my transcripts have been received/evaluated. Cause calling them is impossible.

Mine has said "application in review" for a while now... i have points awarded for GPA, but at the top of the lil box, i have an X mark next to "college transcripts received" and "evaluated".. Does anyone elses say this?? They should have all my transcripts, cause i did all my prereqs with them. Hoping this isn't going to be an issue and they just havent updated it..

That's pretty much everything we need, but not until you get accepted. Besides, in order to do the physical, background check, drug test, etc, you need the forms from the school. Why would you defer till august? I know it seems like a lot, but you can get everything done pretty much in one day. I've done it before, when I went into the lpn program. Except the cpr, which would take another day of its own if it's your first time getting cpr certified. When did u buy the books? What edition is the fundamentals one you have

Is anyone having a problem checking their student email? ? I've been trying for a few days now on multiple devices, and once I put my login information in nothing comes up. At all. Just a blank page. It was working for me fine last week, so it's not a username or password issue. Just wondering if it's just me or if anyone else is experiencing any issues. Better work by the time acceptance letters go out!

You said u went to sheridan tech this past year? Did u graduate in Dec? If so then i must know you

From what I was told, only South campus offers the LPN-RN track.

Anyone here applying for the LPN-RN transition in may?

I'm not a nurse yet and i can't tell you exactly what you need, but at the facility where i do clinicals (ltc) the wound care nurse comes in once a week, and measures, documents, and takes pictures of every pressure ulcer ... Not sure about general wounds...but maybe, because she was taking pictures and documenting wounds on a patient's feet that were not pressure ulcers..hope this helps

Thank you! That was the explanation i was looking for! I'm not an LPN yet, I'm in school now, but i was just curious as to what it was cause i hear so many people talking about it. Thanks again.

Wow, i don't understand the hostility. And funny that you are correcting her for her usage of being an LPN student rather than PN.. Last I checked the name of this forum is LPN STUDENTS. Just figured I'd point that out. And to the OP, congrats and good luck on your journey!

Its a book, its called virtual clinical excursions. Don't waste your money or time. We have to use it for my class, and i thought it was going to be really cool/helpful but its really not. Its quite stupid. I've only done two lessons in it so far, and you pretty much just copy the answers from the program into the workbook. Not much of a learning tool.

I understand you can get your rn from lpn, but how exactly does it work? I see people talking about a "cpne weekend", and different kinds of exams and what not.. Do if someone can please explain to me? I can't find much on their website that clearly explains anything..

Actually, i think studying for nclex is a good thing; do the practice tests/questions that are related to what you're learning now. It will make tests in class easier too cause youll have a better sense of actual test questions. Can never be too prepared...
