I just found out yesterday that I was accepted to the nursing program at SWTCC!!! I'm very excited yet scared to death at the same time. I'm looking for advice and what to expect from former students. Where did you buy your scrubs, stethoscope, and shoes??? How are the classes?:wink2:

Thanks,

bicster do you have any helpful hints...or things you wish you had known when you started?

Run.

If there was another school that would fit my schedule, I would be there. If you would like, PM me with any specific questions you may have.

It was intimidating, but kinda exciting. I am totally ready to start clinical. I am super super nervous about foundations. Does ANYONE get As in foundations? is that even possible? Some of the teachers seemed like super hard, but then the Childbearing teachers seemed really nice.

you wont start clinicals until about 6 weeks or so into the semester.

the teachers themselves are not hard, the questions they write need a lot of work though.

it is definitely possible to get an A.

So some people actually get As in foundations, well that makes me feel alot better. so for the first 6 weeks, what do you do on your clinical day? do you go to the labs and practice there?

you will spend a couple hours in the classroom, then a couple hours in the lab. you will have these ridiculous objectives to complete the night before class. dont worry about them too much.

That's great! I really want to attend this school! I have been studying for the NLN! I was wondering what do I need to focus on the most in math? I hate math! I have heard that the reading part is more difficult then the math! So what should I focus more on in reading and math?

the reading was quite easy.

math- study geometry

science- study physics
