Oh yea it all depends how you grasp the material I guess. For some, it’s a little more time consuming and you need more time to study and read. Some people were able to work and others weren’t at all. That schedule also doesn’t factor in extra practice if you aren’t grasping skills.

For our class you couldn’t choose if you were cohort A or B.. CEP was A and traditional was B. Anything could change though.. I think the best plan going into the semester is to have no plan and be flexible haha.. or maybe plan to read a lot ?

I have a kid so that is kinda important because of my schedule and a job

I am looking at the schedule for Spring 2020, which I am guessing will be very similar to Spring 2021 and I see that schedule for example: Briefing: Monday 1400‐1500 RM XX CL: Tuesday 0700‐1700 CNSL: 2/18 0730‐1130 OB; 2/21 1215‐1615 IVPB; 2/28 0730‐1130 IV start; 3/6 0730‐1515 Ortho/Post Mortem;

Tuesday, from 7 am till 5 pm. Is that how long we have to stay for clinical? I am just trying to figure out in advance because I have kids and I have no idea what do with such schedule.

That is for nursing 11

For nursing 22 is also almost impossible for me:

Tues 0700-1930 ICU orientation 4/29 1300-1330

So I am trying to figure out what to do and whom to ask for help because I have to wake my kids up literally at 5 or so to be there at 7 am and then come back home after 8 pm. Do we really have to be in the hospital for so long?

Hiii! I’m in my last semester, so N22. Send me a message with your exact Qs. This is a bit confusing. You will have some 12 hour clinicals, you will also have some 7-5 days.

Yes, groups are essential! Advice, don't overwhelm yourself with feeling like you need to read EVERY single chapter assigned, focus on objectives and understanding what you're reading/learning. Study groups are great, but make sure that you're using them to reinforce your learning rather then learning it for the first time. Utilize the lab and practice as much as your skills as possible.Ask Qs during seminar, record seminar, and listen during seminar. I would try to take notes throughout the whole seminar until I found myself getting behind in what was being taught. I, now, listen and jot down quick notes, and once I get home I listen to lecture and I type it out, and it has helped me tremendously. This allows me to be present 110% during seminar. What do you need to add me to your GroupMe? Feel free to ask me anything else, I'm here to help.

@MamaTiny are you in the CEP program?

Hey guys! I have a couple pairs of uniform pants (size XS & S) to sell! They are both in near-perfect condition. I also have one uniform top (size S and never worn) to sell or trade if you happen to have an XS. Let me know! $25 a piece. My loss is your gain ? (I'm sorry I couldn't have posted this sooner! I actually kind of forgot they were in my closet)

It might be a long shot but do you still have those uniforms? And are they for ADN? I just got accepted last Friday. And do you think the design of them is the same as the ones I would need to wear?
