SPC Nursing Fall 2018

Published

Hey Everyone!

Thought I would be the first person to start a SPC Nursing Fall 2018 thread. Even though we still have one semester left before applying, I thought I would start a thread to get the ball rolling and to see where everyone stands. If are applying for the program in Fall of 2018, please let us know the amount of credits you will have at the time of applying and what your cumulative and program GPA's are. As for me, I will have 30 of 30 credits completed and a cumulative GPA of 3.9, with a program GPA of 4.0.

So guys I am a bit confused... I know that some of you got an email regarding what to read in preparation for the first day/week but I did not receive that email. Is there any other place we can find what to read before class?? I just don't want to get behind the ball the first day

Did you check your MyCourses messages? That's where mine was sent from Dr. Pryby.

Well, tomorrow is the big day that we've all been waiting for and working so hard towards. Good luck to everyone!! BTW, has everyone had all their Castlebranch stuff approved? I still have all the medical stuff "pending review." I hope they approve it soon and there are not any problems.

I know, I can't believe it's already here! Three of my things are still pending as well. My friend was told that as long as it was submitted by the due date, it should be fine.

Quick question...does anyone know if there is a scenario in which you can start the LPN bridge program in the Spring and graduate at the end of fall semester? Basically start in spring, go in summer and finish in fall?

I hope everyone is off to a great start! I know you're all super busy, but if anyone has a quick figure that sums up the total you spent for books/supplies/immunizations or any one of those three things separately, I would greatly appreciate it. I won't start until January, but I'm hoping to allocate some funds from my forthcoming financial aid disbursement since the Spring FA funds won't be available until 4 weeks after the semester starts. Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% sure but about 1500 if I had to guess. All the small things add up too... I put a rolling crate in my trunk, I take a backpack on my back and a rolling backpack . FYI when the courses opens they will make an announcement on what to bring the first week. I bought four sets of scrubs. I also had to buy shoes and a ton of folders notebooks, a printer bc mine sucked and we print ALOT, a binder , page markers, etc so it adds up. Including the Castlebranch background and drug test , CPR class etc it is easily $2000. Depends on how many uniforms you buy, what shots you are missing , etc.

Thanks so much Holly! I was thinking about putting aside $1000 from this disbursement then I'd have the $800 book line of credit, which I've heard can be extended by talking to the financial aid office. I've gotten several immunizations recently through my job and already have one uniform, so I think I estimated about right.

I spent $1428 on all my books but that includes the skills kit and 2 recommended books and a BP cuff and pen light. Then I bought two uniforms, shoes, and school supplies. I'm not entirely sure how much it all was, but at least $1000. I would save as much as you can!

That's what I did with my summer disbursement. I put it aside for school. If you need to get any titers or vaccinations, I would definitely go through the health department. They are the cheapest. I was dumb and ended up spending like $150 to get all the titers done when it's $5 for each titer at the health department.

Thanks Rebecca Michelle! I've been slowly purchasing items like BP Cuff, Stethoscope, Pen Lights, Pulse Oximeter, shoes, rolling crate, etc...so it doesn't all hit at once. I'm definitely going to be saving but just wanted to put a little chunk aside to start me off. I hope you're having a great first level experience!
