The internet ate my comment, so if it shows up twice--my apologies! What semester are you in? Med-surg? I am in my second semester for my ADN program which is med-surg. I am curious to know how HESIs are administered from program to program, like if ...

OK, so second semester nursing..med surg! Whenever I go to check off on a new skill I almost always mess something up on the first try (and sometimes even on the second.) I get so worked up during final check off I miss a step or contaminate. My inst...

All those symptoms don't point to colon cancer but the body's response to compensate for low oxygenation and ineffective perfusion to body tissues. Colon cancer is a medical diagnosis and I assume your instructor is looking for a nursing diagnosis.

The scrub company will be there to fit you for your scrubs, so I would wait.

Congrats everyone! Make sure to start your clinical paperwork ASAP! Word of advice, for every form that you get filled out by a doctor or your immunizations...make sure it has the facility name, address, contact info. Get a signature from the doctor....

You learn pharm as you're learning your fundamentals. We just finished our first month and started to learn medication administration, so not that far into it yet to tell you what you will learn. I believe there is a separate course in the summer, b...

You start your "clinicals" in class/lab so you can start learning some skills before you get to the hospital. You won't get to the hospital until a month after you start

We are learning fundamentals in np1. I believe it's med-surg for np2, oby/ peds & psy for np3 and med surg again for np4

Good luck everyone! I was accepted this fall with a 3.7. Believe the GPA cutoff was 3.66 but alternates with 3.5-something getting called back! I'm sure you all will be fine :)

I thought there were some who were able to register? I think if you can't by Monday I would shoot and email

Im South shore too! Can't wait to meet ya :)

We are likely going to get together after orientation for dinner to celebrate. Did you want to come? No details yet but can message you when we do

Yes! I got into South shore :)

How awesome!

I promise! Don't get discouraged and think that this means that it will be harder and harder to get in. Like I mentioned before, gpa or point cut offs change all the time. They go up and down. I think fall 2014 or 2015 had a much higher gpa cut off t...

I can't until Tuesday. I think all we need is the acceptance letter, money order for drug test, and signed release of background form-right? We shouldn't need the other background form until later?

I got in!!! South shore! 3.71 GPA

If they dont assign campuses based off our preferences, then what is the point?

lol I was thinknig the same thing! If I were them, I would wait until a Friday to escape all those phone calls

Ive read that in previous fall cycles the cut off score has been as high as 3.7, I think (based on what I've read in other forms). I think this is good and bad. Bad because higher gpa cut offs have everyone on pins and needles. Good because it doesnt...

I know. I hate how it has monopolized my train of thought. We are already approaching mid June. :-/

Last semester, it seemed a lot of the applicants didn't get updates on their hawknet even after letters went out . So maybe they are on top of things like many have already said. Who knows..All I know is a put all my eggs in this basket and I'm not f...

no worries :) I still plan to be active on this thread.

I wasn't mature enough for college- hence why didn't do well either. Also I struggle academically. It took me going back to school in my late 20s and now early 30s to understand that I have to put in the extra effort to do well. I went from B's and a...

Me too! It's nice to have people to confide in. :)
