San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

Published

Hi everyone. Im wondering if any of you are planning on applying to San Jac ADN program or are in the program?

Lets talk about it here

I think you can take the Philosophy class for your humanities course that you need for your associates but please clarify that with a counselor.

The following are the classes needed at SJC for the ADN program:

Shana, the nursing students I met in the May mini warned me about that class and others have told me that stores sell flash cards so I'm taking the initiative to get a head start. Really don't enjoy the cramming info process.

It's not like we have to study 2000 drugs or anything (that's what Amanda Warren the retention specialist told us yesterday). Walk in the park : p

So I went for my physical today. Bad move on my part because they absolutely refused letting me avoid getting my third PPD shot in 5 months. I also couldn't get it today because they need to read it in 48 hours and that would put me on Sunday when they're not open. Sweet! So now I get to go back and finish the rest of my physical on Monday/Wednesday. Not that it matters, we can't register ourselves anyway : /

Also, my doctor was telling me to fill out the first page of the physical form. And he also laughed about the eye chart. Said it was funny how they wanted to make sure you could see colors but not actually, you know, see.

No wonder I couldn't register for a pe class in the fall. Now what's a ppd? I'm sure it will take a week to get my physical completed since they have to do a blood panel right? Just love taking it easy for 6 weeks. When do classes start, btw?

It's the TB titer. The doctors love to call it PPD though. They actually did my blood draw today and will let me know the results on Monday. It's the PPD that's putting me in a hole with all this. I would have turned everything in on Tuesday, but now I'll have to make another trip up to San Jac. Woo.

Have you ordered any flash cards yet? I'm looking online and they all seem expensive, so I want to get the best that I possibly can.

My account says it has a "hold" on it so I'm guessing that the nursing dept has frozen my account since I can't register until after orientation. I went to Amazon.com to order my pharm flash cards. I feel kind of lost without having anything to study when I workout on the elliptical at the gym.

Hmm, I don't see a hold on my record. That's odd. . .

What cards did you order? I'm looking at getting the Mosby cards. It has like 2100 drugs on all of the cards. It's also 40 dollars : /
