I spent ~400 YMMV

When do clinicals start? 2nd or 3rd week after they teach you clinical skills Where are they located? Sorry, I don't remember all the sites. Should I take Med Term. this winter or am I wasting my time? I didn't take a terminology class, nor did I have a medical background prior to starting the program and I didn't have any problems. How hard is the first semester really going to be? I found the material pretty easy. The hard part is getting used to the schedule and workload.

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! I just finished second semester and have a ton of free time on my hands, so I'd be be happy to answer any questions you guys may have about the program. Just shoot me a PM.

I've been staring at this problem for the past 20 minutes and can't figure out where to start. I'm feeling pretty dumb because flow rate problems usually aren't an issue for me, and this one seems pretty straightforward. Any help would be appreciated. There is 400ml left in the IV bag at 0900 hours. It is infusing at 20gtt/min. The drop factor is 10gtt/ml . At what time will the next bag be needed?

Congrats to everyone who got in! I just finished up first semester today and would be happy to answer any questions you guys have, just shoot me a PM. Good luck!

Does anyone know if we need to show our work for the math packet? I'm very tempted to just run these problems through a calculator

Thanks for doing that, I was just about to call them myself. Does anyone have any idea what we're going to be doing? Three full days seems like an awful lot of time just for orientation.

Hmm... my acceptance email said orientation days are 1/10-1/13, but this email is saying they're only on 1/11-1/13. Weird

I wouldn't say physiology is more complex than anatomy - it's more conceptual as opposed to brute force memorization. Take it if critical thinking is a strong point for you.

It shouldn't hurt you. Repeats are usually only counted if you actually earned a grade the first time around. I got into both programs I applied to with a W in Micro. I honestly wouldn't worry about it at all.

Congrats, you guys! Looking forward to seeing you all in January

Here's a short bullet point summary of the email: - Orientation dates are from 1/10-1/13 2017 from 8:00am to 5:00pm - Orientation cannot be deferred - You must reply to confirm your seat by 11/28 - Emails will be sent in early December with orientation and parking details Edit: Got my email at noon today

Just got my acceptance email! Did you guys just reply to the acceptance email or did you send a separate email? Does it even matter?

Nothing much, really... basically just that invitations will be sent out in early November and that mandatory orientation is from Jan 10-13 all day.

I just got out of my counseling appointment and ended up at #12 with 87 points.

Reading: 93.6 Math: 96.9 Science: 78.7 English and Language Usage: 95.8 Overall: 90.7

Judging by this thread a 77 should get you in. Maybe they haven't sent out all the emails yet?

Appointment made for October 10th. I'm so nervous...

Inbox for me

Just got my (acceptance?) email! Gotta make a counseling appointment now

Still no email today has anyone heard back yet?

Just got off the phone with the Nursing Dept. and they said emails should be going out next week around Oct 3rd

Focus on your goals and why you're going to school in the first place. Works for me every time. :)

Drop immediately. In most situations a "W" won't hurt you. A "C" will.

Still haven't heard back yet Edit: Is anyone else applying to GCC? If so, have you heard back from them yet?
