I don't think I've talked with you yet...although who knows! I'm really bad about introducing myself. I'll sit there and have a conversation w/ someone, go home and realize I never got their name or told them mine! I'll look out for you though next week :) I'm also brunette...really narrows it down, right? I try to sit toward the front of the class :)

I agree...I know it'll probably wear off sooner or later, but right now all I do in my free time is read and practice dosage calculations! I guess I'm a nerd, but I'm just really enjoying it :)

Nevermind, got it all straightened out in class on Tues. So....what does everyone think so far? I mean, I know it's only the beginning, but how does everyone feel about their classes?

wait, so can someone give me a list of the books we need for nights/weekends...cause I got an email about it, but i don't remember it saying anything about a medical terminology book...just health assessment and pharmacology.

That's just for this semester though, right?

So I just finished looking under learning modules on blackboard for health assess and pharmacology...starting to freak out now! I mean, what did we get ourselves into! Gonna try to get ahead before class starts, but seriously...I'm feeling a little less excited and a little more anxious about actually getting started :) Anyone else feeling this way?

Haha, I saw you! I tried to ask questions several times, but they never saw my hand...oh well. I guess everyone got the email yesterday about what books to buy, etc. Now my only question is, who do we turn everything in to again? I tried to turn in my receipt of payment for the malpractice insurance and ID card and the women told me to hold on to it and turn it in on the first day of class....that's not what I had in my notes from orientation, but whatever...I'm just gonna do whatever they say, no matter how many times it changes.

Didn't get to order scrubs last night...was so looking forward to wearing them this fall semester but I guess we won't need them til Spring Anyone else a little let down by orientation? I don't know what I was expecting...but that wasn't it. Although, I was a little inspired/moved by the chair of the department's speech on how satisfying it will be to earn our title as an RN...how they don't just hand out good grades, we have to EARN IT.

Alright nt/wknd shelby people, we've got orientation tomorrow! I'm so excited! If you see a slightly awkward, brown haired girl with a big ol smile on her face...that'd be me, haha :)

So I went and got my shots yesterday (5 total!) and today I feel terrible. I'm feverish and have stomach cramps. Can vaccines really do this to you? I guess when you get so many at once, huh? Oh yeah, AND I have a huge purple bruise on each arm from two of the shots....very attractive :)

Did you just take that form in with you and have the Dr. fill it out or what? I guess they've probably seen those forms before and know what to do....I'm just so paranoid that I'll have some guy fill it out wrong or incompletely that I've been telling myself to just wait until after orientation....

I think they go over everything about insurance and whatnot at orientation. Also, they'll give us the dates we need to have it all completed. The only thing we absolutely must have done by orientation is the background check...and let me tell you, if you've moved around a lot in the past 10 years, plan on getting all those addresses BEFORE you start.

LP616, we're gonna be in the same class!

I'm in too! Nights/weekend, Shelby, 226, last name starts with a T....YES!!!!! Congrats to everyone and for those who haven't heard, hang in there!

muzikluva - I don't understand how your friend could have not specified which program she was applying to....am I misunderstanding this? She really just didn't mark down her preference and then she still got a call before any of us who did. Something's not right here....Sorry, I'm probably just being jealous, haha.
