Oh, congrats!!

If it's any consolation, this is sooner than I found out 2 years ago! Our alternate acceptance decisions came out November 20th.

Edited to add that this was supposed to be in reply to Germangirl93 and the above comment was supposed to be in reply to dmgr3y :) Just know that a lot of it is going with the flow. I feel like most of us going through nursing school are somewhat th...

My experience might actually be a bit different because I ended up not attending until fall due to a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment and stuff, so I attended orientation the following fall with the non-alternates. You get a sheet with a ...

Hey guys! I'm the one who ended up getting in as alternate #25 in 2014. I got the acceptance email November 20, even though they said it would be Nov 21. If you guys have any questions about orientation or anything else about the process, feel free t...

I have read and heard that it's possible to get the Book Line of Credit increased to cover the cost of books, but I called this morning and they emailed me back saying that it cannot be increased over $800. Has anybody done this, or am I the only on...

Is anyone able to access the syllabus yet? Can't really find it.

I was diagnosed with a very aggressive lymphoma 11/18/14, then I received my admission two days later to start nursing school in the Spring. I originally planned to accept and go to school, even through chemotherapy, because I'm an extremely determin...

@TheOMPRN - Try your local health dept!

Just wanted to update, my titers all came back positive, except for mumps, even though my transplant doctor said they wouldn't. So my vaccinations (for the most part) still are there. Plans for school are most likely back on. Thanks everyone.

This doesn't apply because I'm not still getting treatment. I have two kids, 2 and 8 months, and my baby gets live vaccines, as approved by my oncologist.

My schedule says the same, but we're also not starting clinicals until Sept 22nd, according to what the Dean told me. Maybe all that time on Tues and Wed will use the books for the first few weeks. I've been going through a crazy mad dash to get eve...

Yes! My feelings exactly, you summed them up perfectly. They posted the clinical assignments today, and I got my first choice, which is a huge tease. It all is. The Dean seemed to be optimistic, and she said she worked at the cancer center I went to ...

You can also go to print schedule and fees under the register for classes tab (again, click on the appropriate semester)

As soon as you log in to myspc, scroll down to schedule and make sure you change the semester to the fall dates. It's on summer as default.

Yes, I have an AA so I'm good there, I have everything my school requires. Thank you so much for your helpful answer! You've helped me understand the laws a lot better now with your examples in the beginning. I AM on an antiviral, not sure if that wo...

Everyone, I do appreciate your advice so thank you very much for your input. You all made really good points and gave me information that I hadn't considered, like every department having some kind of communicable disease. You're all right, I'm simpl...

"Lets to say that my mom didn't believe in vaccinations (which is not the case) and I wasn't vaccinated as a child. No school anywhere would be able to admit me because of my risk of contracting an illness." That would be a choice. It's not my choice...

Why is it that you guys say my situation is not covered under the ADA? I receive disability. If I am willing to sign a waiver of liability or something of the sort, why should I not be provided the same opportunity as everyone else?

I got Morton Plant my first choice as well. I'm nervous though because my cancer treatment erased all my titers and I have to get my vaccines all over again on a delayed schedule. So the dean said she would have to talk to the clinical sites to see i...

I'm 23. Yes I'm done with all prerequisite classes. I just don't want to sit around and feel like I'm wasting my time the next 2 years, but unfortunately it looks like that's what I will likely have to do, despite shelling out plenty of money and tim...

I signed up for the CPR class Saturday in St Pete. I feel you on the daycare thing, I just had to sign up my 2 year old and 7 month old and I feel bad too. It will all totally be worth it when we are able to support them with a nurse's salary.

I will likely be joining you, Trivine. I'll know my husband's schedule Monday (my birthday!) and will find out then. It's really far for me but I can't find anything closer for that low of a price, so I think it would be worth it.

Let me know if you find out. I am probably just going to wait until orientation to find out, since all that needs to be done by that point is the drug test & background check.

Not yet. Trying to figure out how/where to sign up. I looked it up on the AHA website, is that what you did?
