San Joaquin Delta ADN Spring 2015

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Anyone who is applying for the Spring 2015 ADN program at San Joaquin Delta College care to share info with one another? A thread hasn't started yet and the application is set to be opening on September 2. Does anyone know the point range cutoff from last semester? I hope this is the last application I have to submit... Good luck to everyone!!!

The deadline for accepting says Wednesday November 14th by 4:00. Wednesday is the 12th and Friday is the 14th. Has anyone asked them about this error?

dlr13, I didn't notice the acceptance deadline discrepency. I accepted already.

I already registered for classes, too. A class code was listed incorrectly in my packet so I had to call to get the correct course number.

I think the packet says TST administered within 60 days of first day of clinical. I assume that to mean the skin test is done within that 60 days and reading of test is 48-72 hours later. To be safe, I plan to have my second test given the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. My first test I plan to have done on Nov 18 and read right before orientation. I will wait for any immunizations until the 2nd TST. It will make time tight to get everything uploaded before Dec 8, but I would rather that over getting booted from the program because I don't have my immunization and screening sheet completed properly. Letty, the dates you plan to do your 2nd test (11/21 to be read 11/24) both are within that 60 day mark, barely, so it looks to me like that schedule will work.

Thanks for confirming Jan 20 as the first day of clinical, Letty.

I plan to get blood drawn for titers tomorrow. BLS class will be this Wenesday. I did my "wiz quiz" Friday. I haven't created my E Value Tracker account yet, though. Has anyone done this?

Is anyone going to take the optional English 33a class?

Also, stethoscope and penlight -- does anyone know what brands are the best/worst?

Clueless, I haven't found your FB group yet.

Lastly, I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to the fact that the packet says cash only for ordering the mandatory uniform B package. I need to go to the bank.

Lucky! My date to sign up for classes isn't until December 1st! I have a litman stethoscope. Litman is known for their stethoscopes but can get pretty pricey I think you can get the classic II litman for like 75 bucks and it's good. For penlights you can buy a cheap pack of five for a few bucks through most places but it might just come in that skills pack we have to buy.

Hi Deralynn,

Hello! I am in the program too! so excited! Does anybody know if we need to have the urine test done by the 14th or if results have to be in by then? I went to the Newman location today and waited for a long time. when I was called, they informed me that they were not certified to do them anymore so I have to go tomorrow to Modesto.

Hello kk,

I understand that it has to be ordered by 11/14. The drug screen took one day for results. The background takes longer.

dlr13, in the clinical requirements packet (that's the one with blue everywhere) on page 9 it says "Other Documents to Upload." That's where it says that you need your CPR Card (BLS for Health Care Providers - American Heart Association) submitted along with your proof of insurance by December 8.

The immunizations/physical forms are due by December 8, on e*value, too. I can't figure out E*Value, though. Has anyone been to the e*value tracker site? On the student checklist (Appendix A, first box) it says before Nov 14 to do the background check. Then in bold, below, still in the November 14 box it says, "Instructions for uploading clinical health requirements to the E-Value Tracker are listed in the SJDC ADN Student Clinical Requirement packet." Are we supposed to have an E*value account by November 14?

Reading the clinical requirement packet, it says on page 5, "you will be uploading evidence of your immunizations and..." etc., followed by the notation that "Directions for uploading to E*value are provided on the website."

Okay, maybe I'm missing something because I didn't find any directions. I don't know where to find my login name or password.

In Appendix B Program Requirements Information, at the bottom of page 4 it says that there is a a tutorial online with instructions. I don't see a tutorial link on that web page. Most importantly, it says "You will receive a login and password in a separate email to access Evalue."

I haven't gotten an email. Has anyone?
