   Yeah that's kinda the impression I got but it was a completely different field and our students were vocational rehabilitation. Are they nationally accredited for nursing? What degree would you be getting?

2. Clinicals start this week!

   Goose2015 posted a topic in General Students

   It's week 8 and we start clinicals this week! I'm nervous, excited, scared and prepared... all at once. Anyone want to share about their first few weeks at clinicals? If you've been, what to expect, mistakes you've made, things you've learned, dis...

3. Is it just me?

   It's good to understand the basics of how each system works. And of course to understand the basic concepts you built that foundation on chem etc (Krebs Cycle). An important part of nursing is making sure that people stay hydrated, that they keep th...

   My experience thus far has been a lot of hurry up and wait. It's tough because we are all type A to get through our strong science based prereqs, then we get into a program that is focused on people, not science. I'd say get over the control issue...

   Wait til you get to the vascular system we had over 400 vessels, and of course fill in the blank. You will be yearning for fossas and foramens when you get to that section!!! I took pix of everything in lab and printed them up from my computer. I ...

   47 pts is interesting, does that mean you speak a language other than Spanish? If I was you I would consider taking the CNA course to boost your points, it's one semester and give you an additional 10 points :)
