jh2016

I have no idea what the lowest score was, but I did hear through the grapevine that they accepted into the mid 60's (don't know if that is true or not).

Can hardly wait til Friday! I already got all the material supply stuff (uniforms, blood cuff, etc.) and I got the required books from the bookstore. I got the more expensive package of books instead of ebook package only because I wanted to have the hard copy (I like it better than using the ebooks alone) and Mosby's 2016 Nursing Drug Reference book is included in the package . Unfortunately I did not get the assignment I was hoping for. I was really hoping for Mission since I live just 1 mile from the hospital, but I got Fountain Valley on Thursdays instead. However, there is a sort of poetic justice to getting Fountain Valley since I was born at that hospital lol. Looking forward to seeing everyone Friday!!!!

Just stopped by the office about 20 minutes ago. All the emails for assignments went out just before Thanksgiving. However, some of the emails bounced back. So if you did not receive your assignment email contact Janet right away.

You got your email on Wednesday!? I'm kinda jelly lol What clinical location did you get and was it the one you were hoping for?

No email! I guess they didn't get it done in time to send out before the holiday weekend

I just stopped by the office today and they were working on clinical placements and told me that they will be sending out emails tomorrow :)

Does the bookstore already have our required books? That would be awesome if they did. I didn't think we got our book list until orientation. Have you guys heard anything about clinical locations yet? I'm really hoping to get Mission Hospital (its the closest to home).

No idea. I have not heard or seen anything about what room it is supposed to be in. I am guessing that there will be a notice on the main doors to the health science building.

Yay! It's awesome to hear from you Jenn and congrats on getting in!!! So excited and can hardly wait to meet everyone.

I was going to wait til the paperwork session on the 12th to begin the hunt to purchase all the materials required. Specially since with some hunting I may be able to save myself a bit of money (amazon here I come lol). However, since I know that we will need to show immunization records, get a tb test, flu shot, and have a physical exam I set up an appointment for the 13th in the school health center to get some of that taken care of right away. That way too I can figure out what booster shots I may need since I have received all of the vaccines ages ago, including the hep b.

Monday October 12 works perfect! I will see you there

YAY!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! This is turning into the best Sunday every Not sure which paperwork session to choose. I have a really flexible schedule and if you want to meet up let me know which one you are planning on going to and I will select the same one. I would be awesome meeting you guys in person!!!! Otherwise, orientation is on December 4 and we can always meet up then.

Thank you :) Soooooooooo EXCITED!!!!!!!

Check Your Mail!!!!!!!!! My letter came in the mail yesterday, but I didn't see it until just now. I'm was accepted for the Spring 2016 semester!!!!!!

For me working with the Work Study program, I won't work more than 12 hours a week (federally regulated). I would recommend hanging onto the job as a medical assistant at least at first. It gives you a foot in the door to a possible job as an RN later. But it all depends. Are they willing to be flexible and work around your school schedule? Do you think you will have enough time to study? I have read about people working and making it through school just fine.
