Hey guys! Did you go to orientation yesterday? What did you think?

lalaRN2014 · Jan 26, 2012

hey futureprice,

yes I was there, I thought it was good, especially at the end, Mr Greco was funny and woke us up a bit.. I meant to get in touch with you through here so I could meet up with you there. Where were you sitting?

I was in the second row in the green striped sweater. I asked a couple questions, most notably if we could wear those men's tops. I do not like those women's tops at all! I tried on a medium and it was too small. Tried on a large and it was too big. I'm 5'8 and chubby with a longer waist so I felt like I could not find a happy medium! Mr. Greco seems cool. I know people are worried about the accreditation but I'm not. I knew they had been a candidate since December which means they have demonstrated the core values. Do you know your schedule yet? Mine changed and now I only have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Hello everyone! I start the two year RN program feb 6th! I missed orientation and am going to the make up one. I cannot seem to find out where my classes are located i need help! I can see on my calendar where they are posted but they have no room #s! HELP?!

DowntheRiver · Jan 29, 2012

Mine doesn't have any room numbers yet, either. I was also wondering how we're supposed to get it on the first day as we don't have our badges yet? They take your picture at orientation. Orientation was fun, just a little long.

futureprice,

I think I was behind you, and If you are the person I am thinking of I may have spoken to you as we tried on the scrub tops.You mentioned something about a wed-ding as you were trying on the shirt? Londg brown hair? maybe not?

anyway, my classes are as follows: Monday 8-12 Intro to Literature, 1-5 Computer Lab.. and Thursday 1230-3 Intro to Nursing

Hey!

I have computer lab and Intro with you. And yeah, I did mention about a wedding and I do have long brown hair. The tops are going to drive me nuts! What size did you end up getting? I'm waiting on my tax return this week before I purchase anything. Are you getting any school supplies (i.e. binders, notebooks, tabs, etc.) before? I'm such a planner.

lalaRN2014 · Jan 30, 2012

Yep that was you.. I did not order the scrubs yet.. waiting on some cashflow heehee.. school supplies, I am recycling anything I had used for school last year.. I think I am going to get the large top and the large pants with the drawstring because the elastic will be horrible for my womanly figure :)

Hi all! I got in to the LPN program starting Feb 6th, found out today. I have orientation Wednesday, but has anyone received the LPN schedule of classes yet? Just curious...

Thanks!

Mark

I think as of right now most of the people posting here are RN students. Good luck on Wednesday though! Ask about the badges for me. :)

Adriana,

Want to get lunch on Monday? Or, if anything, just sit somewhere for lunch?

sj9983 · Jan 31, 2012

Hey Mark! I'm in the LPN day class too! From what I understand if you have your portal password you can see your schedule. They told me at orientation it should be accurate. I think that everyone is Mon - Wed 8 -5. Then either Thursday 8-12 or 1-5. Then Friday also has either a three hour late start or a three hour break. Your schedule will depend on which of the two sections you are put in. Early out on Thursday section goes with the 3 hour break Friday afternoon. The 1 -5 section is the same people that will start later on Friday. Hope that helps.

Liana- Yeah sure I probably will bring my lunch and eat in the cafeteria. I just have to meet up with some lady in front of the library first to buy my computer book from her. So I will be in the cafeteria after that.
