   In terms of the OSCE.. if you prepare well, you will do great. Practice every week. The evaluators are looking for specific details, so when you practice, follow the rubrics (these are the exact marking documents they use at the OSCE). Again, calm yo...

   Don't worry about the simulations. They are not graded and are certainly learning experiences. Just read the preparation documents and practice skills you feel you could improve before the sim. After the sim, you will write a reflection on your stren...

   It's hard to say exactly, as the average fluctuates both ways slightly from entry to entry. All I can say is I was accepted with a lower average than yours September 2014. Good luck!

   I've always said eLearn itself could've been another course. But don't worry, you will get used to it in no time and it'll be second nature. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

   I wouldn't fret too much about Mosby's Nursing Diagnosis book at this point. We didn't use it until maybe the 3rd last week of Semester 1. And barely.

    Ortho, I also have the Littmann classic ii and love it. Seems to be popular among students. If you don't already have a stethoscope you have lots of time. We didn't start using it until 2 months into the semester. The RPN student scrubs are ceil blue...
