I'm doing on campus classes. I have a three day schedule, some people have a two day schedule meaning they have skills and lecture on the same day. What questions did you have? As far as the text, you'll benefit from getting a head start on the first readings because the first test is over many chapters and it can be a little overwhelming getting started. I wouldn't go nuts though, because you may have a hard time recognizing what's important, what to study, etc until you get to lecture. Personally, I would spend my time finding a calendar and planner system that I liked, making sure I had my supplies in order, and noting every single due date on your calendar as soon as you get your CIDs.

How exciting you guys! Im a current Foundations student. The group we formed here on AN led to a Facebook group which has been invaluable in getting started. If you have any questions, please let me know! The application process can be confusing and overwhelming at times, for sure.

You've probably seen it on the FB by now, we're meeting on the 28th. :)

Is anyone here not in the Facebook group? We set a day/time/place for a meetup, and want to include you! PM me for the details, I don't want to post them here. :)

More background check info went out today, for those not on FB... No one can seem to access it though because it says our names aren't in there yet. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next few days.

It does seem like there's so few of us! Maybe people are waiting for more information. I'm sure as more info comes in, there will be more questions, topics of discussion, etc. I kind of dig our small group though. :)

I thought class was street clothes? I can see where skills lab might be scrubs though... I guess we'll find out! I'm not buying anything quite yet anyways. :)

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/762514483860844 Scrubs are teal and can be any brand, as far as I know. They just need the patches on them, that you can buy at the bookstore closer to the start of the semester I think. Personally I love Grey's Anatomy brand. They're super soft and hold their color so much better than other brands. They're a little pricey, but well worth the investment, especially since we only have clinical one day a week (I'm pretty sure?) and you can get away with one pair for now.

I received my confirmation today! :) I'm assuming we'll hear more about orientation and paperwork after the 28th, since that's the cut off for returning the acceptance...

I opted out of hybrid. I'm in online classes now, and feel the procrastination sneaking up. I also love the classroom environment, and the instant feedback from the professor and other students. I think hybrid would be a good option for those who have time constraints (family, work, etc) or those who really, really thrive in the online environment. I don't fit into either of those, so on campus for me!

I think they have you make an appointment with a lab and I believe it's a urine test? Not 100%.

Let's move the celebration over to the facebook? A little more private for planning

I got in! Drinks tomorrow? Where do we want to go? It was me that started the Facebook. :)

I feel like the 30th would be super late. They probably just went with that to get us off their backs lol.

This would be amazing! We can have our own little AllNurses class. Let us know if this is a possibility!
