AfreeRN23 I just graduated in June and have taken and passed my NCLEX. Not much as changed, there are few changes that happened along the program after us, but not much. My clinicals were at LakePointe hospital in Rowlett. That was for ICU, Med Su...

We got our last clinical schedule with very little notice as well and was told that we were being put on nights. Would not have been as bad if we had our schedule sooner. I get the impression that they don't care if it works with our life or not.

I am in the Dallas cohort and what was stated above is all true. I am able to switch my scheduled days around, but you will not get your scheduled days until about 1-2 weeks before the blocked time. Labs are on the weekends so you will be good for ...

I am currently in the Dallas cohort. They like to get the schedules out 2 weeks in advance, but it is not a guarantee. I have a classmate that commutes about 4 hours. She stays with another classmate, but her schedule is random and her days were n...

I am currently in the pre-licensure program. I did most of my pre req's at my local community college. I had a lot of the classes anyways from my previous degree. I do work full time and I am in my first clinical rotation. It is not easy, but it ...

My schedule this term is September and December. Next term is March and May.

Julie, The clinicals are set once you receive your schedule. They made it clear that you kind of get what you get. They said to be totally free and flexible for those couple of weeks for clinical. You could have nightshift, dayshift, weekend or ho...

We are just entering the first real semester of the nursing portion. I felt the pre-nursing curriculum was easy to handle with full time and work and family. I was able to finish a month early and added 2 classes onto the term. We are in week 3 an...

I am not very good in math and found the pre-assessment difficult. I studied for about 5 weeks and used Kahn Academy online to help with things I did not understand. They give you lots of material to study and reach out to the course mentors and ma...

I felt that the pre was very similar to the assessment. Go to Kahn Academy online and it has videos that help explain things. I am not very good in math. I studied about 4 to 5 weeks and took all 3 pre assessments and scored higher each time and m...

I just finished pre nursing and my student mentor set up my classes for me and I was able to fly through them relatively quickly. Biochem I finished in about 4.5 weeks (only tasks; lots of drawings and essays), stats 5 weeks (only an objective assess...

A bit of advice, when you do have more money, spend a little more on scrubs because they will last longer. The low price scrubs don't last long, fade, and over time do not look good. You will be buying more scrubs. Also, with the first wash put a ...

Carrheart has some awesome stretchy scrubs with lots of pockets. Unsure of petite sizes though.

I really enjoyed the Biochem through WGU. It was lots of tedious tasks and writing a few essays, but very doable and not hard. No exam or assessment to take. I just finished Statistics. I am not a math person and felt a lot of stress with the cla...

Was thinking about the train as well.

How much is parking? I haven't been down there in so long. I hope the weather cooperates as well.

BTW, my mentor told me that if all 12 of us are rock stars and pass everything, then we will all be accepted and they will make room :)

I completed all my skills modules. It took forever, but I got it done. Just received my email about our site. I am hoping the weather cooperates since it is in downtown Dallas. I look forward to meeting you all as well.

Well as of today we are down one more according to my mentor. I'm officially enrolled. Yeah. It just really real. Anyone heard where we will be on Saturday?

Ok, I knew that it was contingent on a few things, but didn't know there were fewer spots than how many students we started with.

Yes. You should check them out.

So does that mean that not all will make it to cliniclas? I was never given the impression that not all could make it through.

Have you looked into WGU? My test score was 73.3% and was accepted into their program. I found the exam hard and I did study for it. The national average is around 63-64%. Don't give up.

Not sure. For the January start date we had to have our stuff in by November 1, 2014.

Merry Christmas everyone. I am totally clear now and working on my orientation, yeah!!
