San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

[AriaRN]

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

[shaynalynn22]

do you think there are others besides us here that haVen't read anything at all? lol, gees i feel like...rushed when classes haven't even started..

maybe some people don't even know what to read

or anything like that.. hmm.. if i wasn't on allnurses

i wouldn't have known anything!

[Fly_Dayton]

I'd believe there are people who haven't started reading, and they'd do okay. Our first week is mainly a throwaway week due to orientations so there's plenty of time to read.

Also, clinicals have been posted, but blackboard is wigging out on me so I can't see. Lemme know if you guys can see it and tell me where I'm going because it's driving me insane!

*Edit* And they're not the clinicals for us. Woo? So they got assignments for the other classes but not ours? I'm...confused.

[shaynalynn22]

i think we should wait till classes start. i'm pretty sure everyone will have tons of questions and they will all be answered monday. and tuesday....anddd wednesday. haha.

clinicals aren't until the 2nd 8 weeks anyways. we'll be okay if we don't register right this second correct?

[Zippidy]

They are all for the first 8 weeks, seems like they had to move some people around.

[Fly_Dayton]

I just don't like getting an e-mail saying alright we got your clinicals in!!!! And then find out that it doesn't even concern me. Could have at least put the course numbers in to assuage those of us who jump the gun : /

[shaynalynn22]

so they are for the people who started school before us, correct? lol

[Fly_Dayton]

Yeah. Apparently we rank pretty low on the list of need to know students.

Anyway, wayward e-mails forgotten, is anybody reading past the 4 chapters for fundamentals/foundations and assessment? I seriously thought about it (for lack of anything better to do really) but figured being bored was preferable to being asleep.

I also have a feeling that after this semester, every other word we say is going to be nursing process.

[shaynalynn22]

russell,do you work?

[Fly_Dayton]

Haha, no. Not surprising in the least bit, especially when you see how many posts I have and when I joined : D

[shaynalynn22]

lol, well i'm at work and using the computer! so i didn't know if you had an office job or anything.

i'm gonna try and keep a job for the first semester, becasue it's the easiest. what do you think?

[Fly_Dayton]

I'd think that would be pretty easy. As much has been ballyhooed about these classes, there's really nothing overly complicated. For those who've never done medical work, obviously doing the skills for the first time might be a challenge, but all the rest (the reading, projects, etc...) are all basic college skills that everybody should have by now.

So I think it's doable. If I did work, I probably would as well.

Second semester is a different beast though. I did a quick read through of a pharm book. Made me glad I didn't work and it wasn't a first semester class : )

[shaynalynn22]

wow. i've never done medical work in my life. so i'm pretty nervous about this. what type of challenge... ?

you know more than me!
