PLEASE HELP THE NEWBIE :-) Hi all!!! I am new to WCCCD…just started this Summer. I know I have a bit to go but I am looking for someone to lay out the steps a litter better because I currently do not have a clear understanding thus far. Please, correct me if I am wrong 1, pre reqs 2, apply for program 3, take hesi 4, enter program if Hesi is passed 5, start clinicals *After you pass the Hesi do you take several more classes? If so are they taken all together and do you get to select the days/ time of the week? *How long is the clinical? Does everybody in the program have the same schedule? Does it rotate & are there any night rotations or classes? CONGRATS EVERYONE, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST SUCCESS!!

Hi all! My name is Ashley and I am new to the board. I would really like some insight on what to expect as far as the clinical goes. I am 26 and will be enrolling as a prospective nursing student with the goal of becoming an RN. I know clinicals are far ahead of me but I am very curious of the schedule. I am married and work full time. I have read various posts on many sites which intimidate me somewhat. I have read that working and being successful in this program is unrealistic and not suggested. What type of schedule should I expect? Is it random, by lottery, does it change from week to week? I do plan to remain employed for the duration of the program but would take a leave in need be as I would want to commit as much focus as possible. Is there any advice to pass on to this prospective student? I would love to hear some success stories from nurses or students who are or have juggled both successfully
