Congrats to those of you that got in! Looks like everything has already been pretty well covered! I was going to say that I am also headed into 2nd semester, and I work full-time. It's tough. Very tough. The best advice I can give is to make sur...

As far as the books go, I went to the bookstore and just sucked it up and bought everything instead of online. Total cost was a little over $1200 for the books and "clicker".

Yep, see you guys bright and early Tuesday morning!

Yep, dates are all there...

Yes, many hospitals have nursing assistant positions that require you to either be certified or currently enrolled in nursing school (minimum one semester). Great job to have in school...excellent way to observe what you are learning.

Yep, Immunitrax. I've uploaded and the files are all sitting there in my account. Just sitting there waiting for approval...

Any of you guys/girls had any delay on getting your immunization paperwork approved? I submitted mine over a week ago via upload, and haven't had a change in status or single acknowledgement. Guess I am just wondering if that takes awhile, too...

Cool, thanks...narrows down the options quite a bit for us guys. I think I saw some Skechers on the Scrubs and Beyond website.

For anyone already in the program, in regards to the shoes we have to wear...do they HAVE to be all white? Or, can they be white, with say a little bit of gray/black/red, etc. (Like a Nike swoosh or something.)

Yep, I went to see if I was registered, and I wasn't (3A). I went to the school to turn in my photo and degree plan, as well as get my clinicals ID made, and they confirmed in person that there was an error with the system. Looks like I'm getting r...

I got mine done 2 days after I received the information, but I'm guessing 7-10 days to get the card back...seems about normal for processing and then sending through snail mail.

Wow, I completely forgot about the lab coat. I think waiting until orientation is a good idea on that one, I'll probably do the same. I wonder when they will allow us to register. The school site says this week, but nothing has changed on my acco...

I haven't picked up a penlight yet, but I will before orientation. I actually have an LED penlight, but it's REALLY bright...might end up blinding someone. So, I'll definitely need to pick up a different one. Also picked up scissors online via Ama...

I went ahead and got my scrubs. If I need to return them, I'll keep the tags on. I'd just rather have them ready to go than wait until last minute. As far as stethoscopes go, I went ahead and purchased a Littmann. I figured it's an investment, and sh...

Getting everything done...fingerprints, background checks, immunization records, etc. What I would really like to know is the exact scrub types we will need this year. I've done my reading here, and heard elsewhere over and over that it is Landau i...

Letter came for me today as well. I am in Group 3...clinicals are set for Fridays. Looks like I need to go chat with my work to re-arrange my work schedule. So much stuff to do!

School website says letters were sent out today. Hoping to get mine tomorrow or the next day since I'm close to campus. Tentative registration starting the 29th. Good luck to everyone! Lots to prepare for...

Hope letters come this week. Was looking at the Landau true red scrubs. Available only in unisex option for men's scrubs. Bummed, because I like cargo pockets!

I just finished browsing my NCTC account in hopes of finding that something had changed reflecting getting into the ADN program. Unfortunately, nothing yet...although I expected that. Probably a bit too early. However, I did check the registration fo...

Acceptance scores are in...74 and above for ADN program, non-LVN students. Looks like 68 and above for LVN to ADN students. Scores of 71-73 make the alternate list. Congrats to all those that made the cut.

The Kaplan guide I used was the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exams, 5th Edition. I originally wasn't going to get it, but I found it in one of my local bookstores...and perused it. I originally bought it to take the 2 practice exams in the back o...

Well, I finished the test. Math, writing, and reading were all pretty easy. I made sure to read through everything very carefully, and I did all my math twice before continuing. The A&P portion, however, was brutal. I was confident on maybe t...

In regards to how many they are testing, I am not sure. Although, since they said they are testing all applicants with 9 priority points or above, I come to three conclusions. One, they didn't have enough qualified applicants this semester. So, th...

My experience lies with the Gainesville Campus A&P classes with Professors ***** and ****** As far as dissections go, we never did the cat or the heart, but they were options if we wanted to do them outside of class. That said, Prof. ******* di...
