I am sooo proud of myself.. It only took me 2 years to finally figure out how to connect my RCC email to my phone! :up: I was getting tired of checking my email every hour on my computer. But now I'm not sure that I like it.. every time my phone makes a noise I get all excited! :cautious:

My heart starts pounding everytime I see it...then I get mad when it isn't the email. Lol. I wish I could know what the point cut off looks like already :rolleyes:

Hello there ! I am a current student finishing up the 1st semester. I just wanted to say good luck and I know exactly how you feel! You will get your answer in no time!!

I just wanted to give you guys a bit of insight of what to expect. For myself and many others N11 was a breeze. If you are a current CNA/LVN or have some medical backround you will fly through it. I promise you! For those of you who do not, do not worry. They give you so many tools and resources that you cannot fail. The N11 faculty is simply AMAZING! They are so supportive. ALthough they may seem intimidating at first they are not, they are all sweet hearts!

When you get your email whether your in or not (standby) they will instruct you on what you need and by when. The intake day is highly informative. Do not freak out about the vaccinations. If you get things done ahead of time you will be fine. The 3rd Hep B shot depending if you have not taken a 2nd one is due 6mo after your 2nd shot. So do not worry. YOU can still do clinicals!

Uniforms- Our class unfortunately did not get our uniforms til the end of March/April. They were totally different from previous semesters and to be honest just sucked! You guys however will be privileged to wear brand new designed scrubs with different colors. They will not be the "traditional" all whites! Do not ask about sizings, because it is a totally new company, so I cannot say.

And other then that just take time to enjoy your summer! Do the readings closer to when the semester begins. Many people started early and by the time the semester started they all mostly forgot the content. Just relax! : )

The 1st week is insane! But trust me after week 2, you get an idea of what is expected and you find your balance :)

Get a good study group, get some sleep, and do not take yourself too seriously! Seriously! You really do become a family, and you do not want to be the one who is an "outsider" that no one wants to work with, because it is all teamwork : )

You will get a big sister/brother from upper semesters that will kind of guide you if you would like. Mine was really helpful! All in all, first semester has been amazing! I even got into a car accident on a test day, the staff let me go home,rest, and take it when I was ready. They are honestly your best support group! : )

Good luck guys, if you have any questions, hopefully I can be of help! :up:

Hi Dreambuilder!!

I got everything done (health-wise) at RCC Student Health. I found the process really easy, because they know exactly what you need. YOu will have to sign up through a compnay called american databank, thats where your background clearance goes to, fingerprints, health clearance etc. You print out a sheet of what is needed ( They will give you all this info in Intake day) From there student health gives you a price sheet, of how much vaccinations are, and titers ( these you will need to show proof of immunity) All in all I do not remember per say But I spent close around mid $200. I just did it through the school, it was easier than going off on my own, just cause they knew exactly what the School of Nursing wants... Hope that was helpful : )

Thanks for the info. I will probably go ahead and do it through the school as well. I was doing a little reading... you got in from the standby list? What was your point total? I've got 85 pts, so I'm hoping that will do the trick.
