SPC 2021 Fall Applicants

Published

Hey everyone! Looking for anyone else applying for SPC's Fall 2021 program ?

I know the open application period doesn't start till march 1st but I thought I would see if any one else is sharing the anxiety with me. LOL

I would get started on all Immunizations, gathering records or getting titers.  I am level 2 right now.  You will set up an account with a website and they track all the "pre" stuff you have to do.  It takes a while and having all forms of the records they need will speed it along and help lower anxiety about it.  

Thanks for the heads up! 
Is there a health office to do our physical on campus? And would they tell us if we need titers for older immunizations?

Do you have any advice for getting through level 1? How to schedule our time with studying?

This will be your life for the next 1.5 to 2 years.  I don't want to discourage you but I just answered a text 5 mins ago where my Brother in Law was saying "proud of you, love you, hope to get to see you soon".  My response was not funny, it was truthful.  "Thank you, Love you too, I hope to get to see everyone in a year when I graduate."  His response was, "it will be worth it".   That is what you will have to do to make it through this.  Your family and friends need to bend and snap back.  I had a week in half break from level one to level two, everyone knew about this and filled my schedule to see me.  You will get real good at saying No to things, or apologizing later for not responding.  Remove yourself as the emergency contact to people, or at least have another person added.  It is not about scheduling time "to study", it is about schedule time for your life, or "your time" because that is what is going to take a back seat.  Now that I have said this, I LOVE IT!  I was in ER this past week and learned so much, saw things I thought I would never see in my life, participated in things that I am still babbling about today.  It is all worth it.

The health office in your city, Downtown St pete health office did my titers, gave me all my shots and boosters.  My PCP signed off on the health exam and the drug test is scheduled with the I believe lab corp.  It is important to get your immune records now, if you have had two complete shots of MMR, then you are good, other wise you have to get titers and if titers low, you have to have the shots until the titers are high enough or "pass".  Castlebranch will be what they set you up with and you will have a list to get done before starting.  DO NOT panic if you are being held up by outside systems, as long as you are trying to get those things done and have the work put in, they will let you start.  Now, please understand, you saying you requested records is not gonna cut it.  Requesting records, going to health department for titers, and waiting on all that will work and start you on time.

Hey! 
 I made a FB group, SPC fall 2021. 
 

If you guys want to join we can put some faces to these names. ?

Hey! I tried looking it up but I still am not able to find it. Do you think you could screen shot the profile and send it in here? 

 

I also didn't get any email about the zoom seminar either, I emailed the health advisor about it 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back from her. Sooooo im not sure what is happening. Guess we will all just have to wait till Thursday!!

I would just type in "SPC Nursing Fall 2021" and go to Groups in the filter options. I hope you can find it. If not, just let me know and I will send you a request or something like that.

 

Thank you for letting us know you reached out about the seminar. I was starting to worry!

Thank you for your response!

Also, do the days that we attend school change each semester?

If you go into my SPC and search for the 2nd semester classes, you can see the dates and times they are offered. I think I saw that level 2 has classes only 2 days a week ?

Yeah, if you look up the class numbers acting like you are registering for the classes then it will show you the available times. Im not sure if you get to pick these tho or if the school assigns them.

 

I found the facebook page! thanks 

2 More Days! Im getting so nervous

Yes it is only 2 days a week and clinical is once per week. But during Summer (if you get evening courses) then it will be 2 days a week and clinicals are twice per week.

And no, you have no choice in who your teacher is or what days your classes are.
