Hello everybody I just thought I make a forum for those who are applying Spring 2021. Had a question on how we send our transcripts if we did all our pre-req's elsewhere

If I am 100% sure that I won't be attending Delta, I would call to let them know asap that I would be giving up my spot. This can open up a space for someone who must be praying to get in

hi are you go to delta or Stanislaus ?

Hi, Does anyone know the start date of this nursing program?

It should start when Spring semester starts. It's on the January 11th I believe.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Did anybody invited for the fast track get that document that we're supposed to sign and turn in to either accept or decline?

Does anyone know how the first semester will be structured? Days per week and in person or hybrid?

There is a current student who posted her first semester schedule on this thread a few pages back. She was very detailed. Read back and check it out! ?

Orientation was done over zoom about a week before the semester started.  

 

Don't feel bad, I don't mind helping at all!  My situation was a little different since I was added to the program late.  I had to do all of the background stuff (titers, drug test, order books and uniform, etc.) as fast as possible whereas they will give you guys around a month, if not more.  I don't think there is anything really to do ahead of time.  

You will switch classes every 8 weeks and will have different clinical sites every semester. So for the first 8 weeks, we had Fundamentals and now we have Med Surg (you will get a separate grade for both). I would say go into it not with the goal of getting A's.  I know we all are used to getting A's or else we wouldn't even be able to get into the program but nursing school is a whole other situation.  You have to have a 75% at the end of each 8 week class to move onto the next one.  It sounds like no big deal but it is not easy.  Especially that first 8 weeks.  A lot of people barely passed and we lost 3 people in our cohort.  However, once you get past those first 8 weeks, you are locked in and they will give you plenty of times to remediate if you get below that in the future.  You just have to make it the first 8 weeks.  Also, you will have to adjust your way of studying.  There is no way possible that you can do all of the work we have.  Right now we have about 40 chapters to read in a week and a half, 50+ quizzes, videos to watch and lectures to watch.  And that's just for your Thursday/Friday class.  So, you kind of have to learn how to focus on what to study on (something that I'm still figuring out).

I did not take HS 95 because by the time I added, it had already started.  Honestly though, there is so much work to do that I wouldn't have taken it anyway.  

How it works now is that on Mondays, we either go to campus and learn a skill (catheters, feeding tubes, etc.) or we stay at home and watch a video learning the skill and then record ourselves doing the skill and upload it to be graded.  Tuesdays and Wednesday we have clinicals (for the first 3 weeks, you don't have clinicals but will have skills on campus).  Thursdays and Fridays we either have a zoom lecture or we have a recorded lecture that we do on our own time.  Think of it as 3 different classes almost.  Skills, clinicals, and lecture.  

I think it's challenging right now because of Covid.  The professors say that if it wasn't for Covid, we would be on campus a lot more and take a lot more time learning skills, etc.  Unfortunately due to Covid, we can only be on campus 10-20 at a time and are taught a lot of skills in a very short period.  It's OK though.  You'll learn a ton at clinicals.  

I hope this helps.  Feel free to ask any other questions you may have!

What time are Monday skills? If they keep it the same for Spring 2021 I just wanted to pre plan scheduling. Thank you

It can vary.  Because of Covid, they can only allow 10-20 on campus at a time so it really depends on when your group is scheduled.  It can range anywhere in the 6:30-2:30 timeframe, although usually, you're only there for around 3 hours.  Sorry I can't be more specific but it really does vary by week.  For scheduling purposes, I would try to have Mondays open if you can especially since sometimes we don't know until 4 or 5 days before.

Has anyone taken the fast track program before? If so, are there any disadvantages?
