I won't lie, it will be very hard to have a full time job while in the program, it is doable though

It was hard and very fast paced, I'm definitely enjoying this break

Good luck to everyone that got accepted! My advice would be to get your books as soon as possible and just start reading. Trust me I got the same advice and I didn't listen but if I could start over that is what I would do differently. The program is very intense and you will have a quiz in your second week in both classes covering about 15 total chapters. Read Read Read and Read some more. Good luck to everyone!!

No clinicals don't start until the second 7.5 weeks, you have to pass lab and all the check offs in order to do clinicals. You'll have Foundations and Assessment the first 7.5 then Med Surg and Pharm the second 7.5 along with clinicals. It's very very fast paced and intense so be ready to for nursing school to be your life. Good luck everyone

Clinicals sites are chosen on a first come first serve basis at orientation, so get there early because you go in the order in which you sign in. We go to clinicals 2 days a week 6 hours a shift

No, classes are not held in the summer. You will have 2 7.5 week periods a semester but no summer classes. Trust me it is a lot and you will need a break come summer. I always go to school in the summer until nursing school started and I am looking forward to a break

Hey everyone good luck on getting in. I am a nursing student there now and the nursing office has a letter on the door that the deadline has been extended to Oct 27th if you haven't heard yet. I know it's frustrating our deadline was extended too. Again good luck to everyone

No it's not. There is so much info in so little time

I had a 4.0 when I applied, but you minght be ok with a 3.5. they base your acceptance on a 100 pt system. You can get extra points by having a job in the healthcare field or by taking all of your pre reqs at WCCCD. It's competitive and every point counts do as much as you can to earn extra points

How is everyone doing so far?

Which study guide questions?

Oh wow, at least you're in though congrats on being accepted

cpushm, How does that work with the alternates? Do they have a spot in the program this semester for you or do you have to wait for a spot to open?

Does anyone know if we are supposed to have the med math packet completed before the workshop or are we reviewing it at the workshop as a group

Which book? The foundations one?
