I started Fundamentals last week. They tell us to bring our book with us, and a lot of times we do go through it, or use it. I also carry a binder which holds all of the stuff for the current section...

Best of luck to you! We didn't get anything until Orientation, which was about 5 days before the program actually started. That day we were assigned about 8 chapters of reading before class on...
one of my instructors did the same thing. All but one of us in the class has facebook, and that one admitted right up front that he has no desire to ever have one, not even for the class. The...
I'm with you. The school I am going to does not do orientation in the spring/summer. So I got my letter in May, spent the last couple of months doing all of the things in the packet that followed...

I SO needed to read this. I am feeling exactly the same thing. Even the little flutters in the tummy. I purchased the last of my books yesterday (a bundle that the campus bookstore doesn't post...
I stared in horror at myself in the mirror at the scrub shop. White was required. And lets face it. White pants aren't flattering on any but the slenderest. It took 8 tries to find a pair that wasn't...
My orientation is next week. It is 2 days, 8:30-5 each day, with a 1 hour break for lunch. I figure there is going to be some down time in there, but I do know that one of the things they do is stand...
Update: Yesterday while on the phone with my alleged advisor I made an appointment to meet with her today, at 1:00. So, I packed up and drove out for the meeting, arrived promptly, and waited. After a...
Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it enormously. Unfortunately, this advisor is for the nursing program specifically. I am still not used to quite this degree of ineptitude, though this is...
I am supposed to start nursing school this fall at the local CC. Long story short, after several attempts and four days I finally got to talk to my "Adviser" today. When I told her that I wanted to...
I've had a bumper year for the garden, so I've been doing loads of canning, which is something that I really do enjoy. I took 2 classes this summer, and the last one ended a week and a half ago, so I...
I am 37, and this past academic year attended school full time while also working full time in Special Education. I LIKE to teach, most of the time. IF people are willing to make the effort on their...
CNA certification is one of the requirements to get into nursing school at several places here. I do think it is a great way to "Get your feet wet", and it is a good way to learn the basic
Orientation for me is August 12-13, and classes for the fall semester begin the week of August 18th. I will be taking Fundamentals of Nursing, and Intro to Pharmacology. I've been scouring the...
Here the CCs require 8 pre-reqs. One of the 4yrs I checked out requires 4, and another requires 14. Check and see if you can find out what the prerequisites are for your program. A lot of times they...
